[quote=Anonymous]You're 29 now and considering starting TTC at 32.  If that seems late but you want to save a little more before then, why not start TTC at 30 or 31 instead?  Seems like there's a middle road!

I would definitely stop the pill and start charting about 4-6 months before you even start TTC (using a barrier method in the meantime if you don't want to risk getting pregnant during that period).  It took my body several months to get back to "normal" cycles after the pill, and in fact, the second time, it didn't totally regulate itself, but I did manage to get pregnant even though my cycle length was changing each month (not something normal for me off the pill).  But I was surprised by this, and it made tracking and finding my fertile period much more difficult to pinpoint.

FWIW, I know a lot of people start TTC their second is when their first is a little over a year, but I could NEVER have done this.  I had a really, really challenging first child and wasn't ready to even consider another until he was age 2.  It took us about 6 months to get pregnant, and I had to wean off some meds before we could start, and so the age difference between our kids will be almost 4 years.  It's more than I had hoped for but not a huge deal.  I feel lucky that I'm squeaking in delivering #2 before I turn 35 because dealing with some of the AMA stuff is frustrating and more stressful.[/quote]
