What would you do?
Hello,
Judging by my BFN this morning we are just about to enter our 16th month of TCC and I have a predicament.
In March I am going on a weeks residential trip with school and just my luck, the week falls when af is due.
Do I go back on the pill in Feb to delay my period (as I can't think of anything worse than being away with 32 11 year olds, out walking and doing activities all day and not having the comfort of my own home) or just get on with it?
I really, really don't want to go back on the pill, even for a month or 2. I don't want to put fake hormones back in my body after I have spent so long getting rid of them and I don't want to miss a months of ttc. Also, I didn't realise how rubbish I felt on the pill until I came off it. I had no sex drive, bleeding between periods and after sex and generally felt rubbish. On the other hand, we have said we are having a break for a while anyway and in the back of my mind i remember reading a post/article about being more fertile after coming off the pill. What do I do? :?
Also, in the tiny part of my brain that has a little optimism left, I think "I could be pregnant by then."

If your dead against having af go for the pill to delay it. Wouldn't recommend going back on the pill if your ttc especially after 16 months I'd hate the thought that the pill would put u back a few months coming back off it x
Betty, I dont' have to go. I have chosen to go as I thought it might be a good distraction and something else to focus on as it is all getting a bit much for me at the mo and need to take my mind off ttc. Also, think I will get to dog!
I have decided I will be def NOT be going back on the pill. It's just not worth it. I didn't realise there were other things you can do to delay it.
