A buddy of mine is getting married and hoping to have a baby in the next few years.
Today he asked if there are any good sources of information for pregnancy outside the traditional medical system.
I know there are a ton of parents on here who have dug deep on this so I thought I would ask.
Specifically he asked if there's a time period after stopping birth control where it's safe or unsafe to begin a pregnancy. #asknostr
We had 3 miscarriages within 3 years of going off BC. They found a small amount of endometriosis and gave my wife some antibiotics. Endometriosis is supposedly from birth control use and causes miscarriages. That went away and the next pregnancy stuck. Not a definitive, helpful answer, but I’d encourage a test for endometriosis after going off BC, and using antibiotics to clear it if it exists Just a personal anecdote, and not a fix all.
Here are a few we have found helpful:
Thanks man 🤙
My wife went off birth control and we got pregnant nearly immediately. We did the birth through a birthing center that was essentially an old house ran by midwives. Was an amazing experience. 100% natural birth.
Take supplements (we’ve been doing organ meat supplements lately, highly recommended), eat well, get exercise, and enjoy the process 😉
Depends on the type of BC. If menstrual periods return healthy and consistent that should be the green light. Get off BC asap and learn to track the cycle. I tracked my cycle religiously for years after I came off of hormonal BC to understand my fertility and as soon as we got married we tried and welcomed a healthy boy 10 mo later. Sadly had a miscarriage at 8 wks with our second try, but now 5 mo pregnant with a girl after our third try at 36 and 45 yo. I’m not sure if it’s a coincidence but I also timed conception so I’d have a boy first and a girl second, next ones will be freestyle! Best of luck to your friends!!
Wow thanks for sharing your journey and good health to all three of you 💜
