FINALLY!!! One cycle ends!

Thank god!!!!  After 41 days, my first cycle off birth control, I finally got my period!  I may be the only girl on this website off birth control and "trying" to have a baby who is ecstatic to get her period!  This cycle just kept dragging on and on, and I never knew when or if I'd ovulate or get my period.  I still don't think I ovulated, but that's cool, I'm just happy the end of that very long cycle is finally here.  I was crampy and moody, my skin broke out really bad, and I was so bloated.  Ah, thank god for CYCLE DAY 1 again.  Starting over.  Maybe this one won't be so long and will make sense.  And while I am technically trying to have a baby, I'm so happy I wasn't one of those girls who got pregnant that first cycle trying.  I am just not ready yet.  Yes, I know, if I'm not ready, why am I off birth control. Hmm, I guess I'm hoping that when it happens, I'll be in that place.  I want to start a family, but I just look at it like this: the longer it takes, the more time I have to spend with my husband, save money, start and feel comfortable at a new job, and get in better shape.  So on to cycle number 2 and, well, not a baby yet, but another month of getting used to the idea.
