[quote=Anonymous]This is a bit of a bizarre inquiry I am sure- but here goes: I will be TTC in the coming year (1st time)- have been on BCP for over 10 years consistently. I want to come off the pill and allow my body to regulate itself/ get my hormones and have at least 1 or 2 "real" cycles before wanting to be pregnant. I know this may sound silly but I don't want to go from being on BCP to being pregnant- I am really curious to see what my cycle/body feels like once or twice before being pregnant.

Its probably the way things will work out anyway, but there are lots of people who get pregnant on the 1st month off. I haven't used condoms in ages, and before BCP I was a teen/20something who was not risky enough to try any kind of cycle timing (I was condom diligent for other reasons too).

So I am trying to look up stuff about 'natural family planning' but since I have no idea how long my cycle will be for the first 1-2 months that I want to avoid pregnancy, it seems like I can't figure out what days to avoid and which days are "safe" (yes,, yes I realize this is not 100% safe).

Does anyone have any easy/clear resources they have used for natural family planning right from the pill- google is downright overwhelming[/quote]
