    Many of you know that I was on the pill for 11 years and decided to come off of it to prepare my body for conception (pregnancy planning). This video is going to focus more on the technical side of things that I did once I came off the pill in order to conceive (the doctors I saw, the tests I had done, and the tracking/charting I did while TTC). I will speak more about the emotional side (like how we knew we were ready for a baby) in a future video!
    In Sept 2020, I decided to go off the pill. Coming off the pill at 29, I was ready to begin the process of getting my natural cycle back on track, and my thought at that time was that I wanted to wait until the following September (2021) to begin trying to conceive. As you all know, we got pregnant in April 2021, so this plan obviously took a turn and we started trying much earlier than expected.
    Immediately after I came off the pill, I set up an appointment with my doctor. I did some bloodwork to check for antibodies (to see if I was up-to-date on certain vaccines) and Michael and I also did genetic testing. Because it came back that I needed two different vaccine boosters (MMR and Varicella), I was told to NOT try to get pregnant during this time since they are live vaccines.
    Fast forward to October (one month later), and I decided that I was officially ready to start trying. I decided that it would be better to start trying then and get pregnant SOONER rather than start trying when we initially said and then have that timeline pushed back if we were to encounter any issues. However, there were some road blocks during this time as I still needed to get my period back! In addition, my health was worsening during this period - I was getting terrible migraines daily and found out that I had celiac disease!
    There were a few things that I did immediately after coming off the pill. The first was tracking. I began tracking everything about my ovulation and cycle. I took my basal body temperature every morning, used OTC ovulation predictor kits, used digital OPKs, and checked my daily cervical fluid. My temperatures seemed normal, but I would ovulate about every 40 days (instead of every 28 days). Although it was not normal length-wise, the fact that I WAS ovulating at all was a good sign. These long ovulation windows lasted until December, when I began to experience all these crazy health issues, inducing stress, and causing my period to disappear completely. I went back to my OBGYN and got a progesterone supplement to ‘induce’ my period.
    Around January 2021, I cut out gluten completely, my headaches went away and my period came back on its own. During this time I got the greenlight to begin trying!
    One of the biggest questions I got was which days I had sex to get pregnant, and honestly, it’s going to be different for everyone because we all ovulate on different days! When I began to hit that ovulation stage, we started having sex every day throughout my fertile window.
    Ultimately, all the planning and prepping paid off, and we got pregnant that month! After two weeks, my temperature remained elevated instead of dropping back down, which was a sign of pregnancy! I hope this video was helpful for those who are either trying to conceive or just want to learn more about their cycles.

I hope it works well for you but i just wanted to warn you just in case. My doctor waived off my feelings (he doesn’t have a uterus) and i felt so much better after i got it taken out. When i switched doctors my female doctor told me she wouldn’t have suggested that bc. So just be aware of your own body and how you feel ❤️

    The SAME THING happened to me!! I got off the pill thinking we have a year before we actually want to start trying - but as soon as I got off it, we were like "yepp we're ready". I think because our hormones were asleep for so long - been on the pill 10 years - that when they wake up they are like "give me my baby!!" 😄

    When my boyfriend and I decided we wanted to have a baby, I stopped taking birth control for a month first to see if my period would come back normally. That first cycle was 27 days, so I also thought everything was fine and back to normal straight away. But then my cycles became longer and longer each time, I think the longest one was 48 days. At first I wasn't planning on tracking my ovulation, but when my cycles became so irregular I really wanted to, otherwise I had no clue on when I was ovulating. I was pregnant after 9 months of trying. Unfortunately there was no heartbeat at our 8 week scan that time, but we were very lucky to be pregnant again quite soon after. The positive thing about it taking so long for me to become pregnant is that I really began to know my body and my cycle better. Both times that I got pregnant, we only DTD once because our predictions were so accurate at that point ;) There was no need to try multiple times a day for days on end. For me personally, I will not go back on birth control, or at least not as long as I want more children. I really feel like birth control messed with my body, and I feel much more at ease since it is out of my system. Although currently 27 weeks pregnant :). Really nice to hear your experience, as it has a lot of similarities to mine. This is also my first baby, at 29 years old. All the best for the rest of your pregnancy!

    This is the best video I’ve ever seen about the topic ❤️I can relate so much on your experience! I’ve taken the pill for 3-4 years and started my journey on june 2021. I also went to a gynecologist to leave the pill and I’m currently working with a nutritionist to get my cycle back (I have also left the gluten out of my diet and more). Doing blood test, the first cycle was like a clock but now I’m on the second one and on day 50 without my cycle (similar to you). I’m going to start with my progesterone supplement next week as the doctor told me to get try my cycle back and I’m also taking magnesium amd other nutritional supplements. I’m not trying to get pregnant at the moment, but I want to in 2 years, so I started this journey to make my body work natural again with my partner support. It is also a very difficult journey mentally and I hope for the best for all of you struggling with it. Greetings for Barcelona 💕

    Interesting to watch, especially as a woman who got pregnant at LOT sooner than initially planned 😆. I foolishly believed that it would take my husband and I at least 6 months to a year to convince as we were both in our mid 30s and I had been on hormonal birth control for 14 years. I went off the pill in March and stopped all forms of bc in late April/May. I got pregnant in June without us actively trying. Big Suprise!!! A happy surprise and we're becoming more excited as time goes on 😊 So don't make my mistake, do your research like Lucie and be prepared to fall pregnant straight away as you never know what could happen......

  • @Vee56732
    @Vee56732 Před 2 lety +2

    Love how thorough and how well you explained your journey. The only thing I will say is I think you mean fertile window when you talk about "ovulation window". Your fertile window is 6 days long ending on the day of ovulation and you will ovulate typically 24-36 hours after your "peak" or LH surge. While on this 6 day window the 5 days before ovulation you can still get pregnant, your highest chance of conceiving is on ovulation day. Congratulations on pregnancy and your continued journey!

    This is also a really interesting example of why the Texas 6 week abortion law is ridiculous. You technically got pregnant in February but didn’t realize until April because of your specific cycle. Classic textbook example of how if this had been an unwanted pregnancy it would have been beyond the 6 week window.

    Hi Lucie, I'm curious to learn more about using both the ovulation sticks & BBT. Do you think they complemented each other or provided extra security in knowing exactly what day range you'd potentially ovulate? Did they ever not correspond? Sounds like you are very data-driven (I am too!), but I hadn't considered using both until recently.

    • @luciebfink
      @luciebfink  Před 2 lety +9

      YES they always worked in conjunction! when it comes to BBT, I've found it generally doesn't rise until AFTER the ovulation has occurred, and the LH level spikes a bit BEFORE ovulation. So often you'd get a positive OPK stick but then you won't get the temperature spike until a couple of days later. But assuming you're measuring correctly & ovulating, they should line up like this!!

    It sounds like a lot of the things that you talked about in your “Going off the pill after 11 years” video ended up getting resolved/not being related to the pill (migraines were related to Celiac disease, the “lack of a period” was more of a 40 day cycle (absolutely correct me if I’m wrong but I believe that’s still within the range of normal), and you got pregnant pretty much as soon as you were trying to, so bc didn’t hinder your fertility). How do you feel about that video/information now?

    wow i can't believe you decided to go through all this testing! it would trigger so much anxiety for me, i would never do it, i would just try. i do appreciate whar you stated in the beginning - i have a friend who went through the whole infertility thing, so i think it's sensitive of you to think about it and say it.
    i want to use that app for birth control! how safe is it? i've never been on the pill or any other hormonal birth control

      She mentions a lot of supplements, but the one every woman getting off birth control should definitely take, is folic acid! It's important in the very first weeks of pregnancy, when you often don't know yet that you're pregnant, so it's best to start taking it once you start trying to conceive.

    Hello Lucy! I find your video just so helpful knowing that I’m not alone and someone else out there had the exact same issues I am having post Yasmin… quick question which is the genetic testing you did? Like 23 and me or more specific? And which are the strips you bought? Thank you so so much

    I have a question. Why do women want to get pregnant? Pregnancy puts a lot of strain on a woman's body, and it has risks, and a pregnancy lasts 9 months. Also, childbirth is very painful. And also, raising children is very hard.
    Personally, I think being childfree would be a lot better than having children, but that's just my opinion.

      She clearly explained that she has celiac disease. Also, going of the pill often leads to migraines and other adjustment symptoms.
      Also, I belive the symptoms started prior to the vaccine. Don't try to push for your unfounded and, honestly, dangerous anti scientic views.

    Btw, have you ever heard about the Billings method Family Planning?, cause it’s very similar to what you did. And according to it the closest you have sex to your ovulation date the more likely you are to conceive a boy (and viceversa), and seeing your dates seems it worked 💙✨
