Hi, my name is Crystal. I am 26 and have been married for 6 years. DH will be 29 on Thursday. We have decided to start trying for our 1st one. I am in nursing school and probably should wait until fall to start trying so we would have the baby when I am completely done with school, but it may take a while for us, who knows! I went off birth control last July and my periods are really irregular. Anyone else? I am taking over the counter Wal-Mart penatal vitamins which are making my nails look quite nice. Is anyone using the Clear Blue/Plan fertility monitor? I have been looking at them on ebay. I have a hard time taking my temp and charting every day. Since my periods are so messed up and long (41 days) I have a hard time being able to to tell when I O.

i had a realy hard time after going off bc. my period would come like every 2 weeks and last about 2 weeks. i wasnt ovulating at all during this time. the doc put me on clomid and it helped even out my cycle but i didnt O untill my 3rd round and it was at 150mg. im currently on my 4th round and in the 2ww. i would go ahead and still try to chart its good practice so you will get into the habit was you get things in order. have you set a time to go to the doc to make sure everything is good? it took me about 6months before evevrything returned to normal. goodluck to you and i want to see that chart!
