I love this picture of Kimi and his two cousins. The girls (with another one) are expecting another addition to the family? Maybe a boy after the three girls, well... as long as the baby is fine, all is ok.

The Pill and Pregnancy
Plagued with the fact that I am not pregnant of my first try, I surfed the web seeking correllation between ditching the pill and becoming pregnant..
Here's an extract from www.pregnancy-info.net:
Pregnancy After the Pill
There is no reason to worry about becoming pregnant after you stop taking the pill. The pill will in no way affect your fertility and more than 90% of pill-users become pregnant within a year of coming off the pill. This being said, it does take some women longer to become pregnant after stopping the pill.
Typically, it takes about three months for full fertility to return. Some women may find that it takes closer to six months for them to become pregnant. Other women become pregnant immediately after going off of the of the pill. It really depends upon your body’s own natural cycle. Though you can try to get pregnant immediately after coming off of the pill, it is usually recommended that you wait a little while. Allow your body to go through one or two regular menstrual cycles. This will help your body get back in sync again, and will also help you to pinpoint your ovulation dates.
If you are trying to get pregnant after using the pill, here are some tips that may help you improve your chances.
Eat as nutritiously as possible.
Begin taking folic acid supplements.
Quit smoking.
Limit your intake of alcohol.
Try to manage your stress.
Hmmm... so it is my first month - no pressure yet esp. when the said that the first two months are for getting your body in tune again. Folic Acid checked. Well, will try again next month.

1st Month Result
Well.. I am not pregnant. Starts my red flag days today.I am not surprised cz I've been without the pill for only a month. My friend told me she only got pregnant after two years. Another friend got pregnant after two months. She told me of her another friend who get pregnant almost immediately after she stopped taking the pil.
Well.. I've been taking the pill for almost three years. I hope I am part of the lucky ones who have no problem conceiving after taking the pill for quite some time. Fingers crossed!
