Tonight, I take my last birth control pill. I am both excited and nervous at the same time. I just decided that I was sick of putting hormones into my body, and I really wanted to see if going off the pill would also help me in my weight loss journey. So, I made sure to stop at the end of a pack, so tonight will be my last pill. After being on the pill for almost exactly 6 years, that’s enough! I don’t know for sure if being on the pill is why I’m struggling to lose weight, but there’s no way to find out unless I try this! I am also quite nervous about how my periods will be since they were so awful before the pill, but I’m hoping I’ve ‘out-grown’ the crazy heavy flow and mind-numbing cramps.
Also, CT and I want to start trying for a baby at some point in the near future, so I wanted to give my body break from the pill for awhile first. So, this serves a double-purpose ;)
Tomorrow, is CT and my 6-month anniversary. Since it sounds like we are in for quite the snowstorm tomorrow, we may just spend the day relaxing at home and then we’ll walk downtown and go for dinner and see a movie as our date to celebrate. CT has really been wanting to see “Vantage Point” and I would like to see it as well. And we are only a 15-20 minute walk from the movie theatre, so that sounds like a perfect date to me that can’t get screwed up by the storm!
Also, my reference for my PEO application got his 2nd questionnaire this week (since the first one he sent never made it to PEO… stupid Canada Post!). So, he filled it out yesterday and both faxed and mailed it back to make sure they get it this time. The envelope even is already postage paid and has the address pre-printed, so I have no idea how Canada Post lost that one! Anyways, I have no idea how long it will take them to process my application from this point, but I’m thinking I could maybe hear the week after next! Or at least by the end of the month hopefully!

Heh. You go off the pill, I go on... ;)
Exciting though! Just be careful for a little while after because some people can get pregnant right away after going off the pill. So if you really don't want to conceive just yet, have a back-up! But I'm sure you know that :)
Have fun on your date night!
Let me tell you how much I *love* not having to worry about taking the damn pill at the same time EVERY day.
Enjoy it.
Oh yes, I know as soon as you go off the pill, you can get pregnant right away. Two weeks after my mom went off the pill, she was pregnant with me!
We will definitely use backup birth control until we are ready to try to conceive, which likely won't be too far away anyways, so we're good ;)
