Finally Trying!

We are starting our journey trying to conceive (TTC) our first child this Spring!

This past month has been an experiment in letting my body get back to normal after 5 1/2 years on birth control for my Endometriosis. Having this condition, which can cause fertility issues in up to 50% of women who have it, has made me nervous about how long we will have to try. Also, they say it can take a while to get pregnant after using birth control because your cycles are not controlled. But surprise, surprise! I ovulated my first month off it! So, if I get my period this month, we will start trying in April. We could have started trying this month, but I am in a student teaching program that ends in December, and I'd just rather have that done before a baby comes along.

I will continue to blog through this journey, and hopefully through a healthy pregnancy as well!
