today is day one of being officially off the pill.  twenty-four more days and i would have been literally taking them for half my life.  the hubby and i have decided that it’s time to see whether or not we are meant to propagate.  we are actually going to wait until april to start trying so that there’s no chance of pregnancy interfering with hubby’s ironman but i’m giving myself a few months to let my body regulate after nearly sixteen years of tricking my hormones.  this is going to be a crazy ride.  i am terrified and hopeful and trying not to get my hopes up too high.
