Hi everyone. My and the hubby are trying for our first child. Any tips anyone can give us? I bought some ovulation tests in the clearance aisle (Yay Walmart). However my cycle is a bit out of whack from just leaving boot camp. I stopped my birth control (patch) a few days ago and I'm not sure when to expect my next period. Any advice would be gratefully accepted.

Hi, welcome!
I would wait until you get your next period (assuming you do not get pregnant just from being off the patch and having intercourse), and then start trying naturally around mid cycle. Are your cycles normal normally? Good luck to you!

Usually I can pinpoint the exact date and time of day. I was off my bc for a week and then on for 1.5 weeks and now im off again. im not sure when next pd is but im having intercourse every other day until i can start charting my cycle.
