As I've started to share my blog with family and friends, I've received a few questions about the name of my blog. To me, it was a fairly simple decision because it defines everything that I feel about trying to get pregnant.
Growing up, we learn about the birds and bees and how babies are made and then, in middle or high school, we learned about contraceptives and how NOT to get pregnant. So, being the responsible young person that I was, I went on the pill right after my first experience with sex and stayed on it for 10 years. All the while thinking I was being responsible by protecting myself from an unwanted pregnancy. Isn't THAT ironic? I took BC pills for 10 years, wasted $20/month, every month, for 10 years and didn't even need them. Imagine what I could've done with that money...
So, conception can be deceiving because you never know if you are OK until it's time to start trying - which, to me, was a hard pill to swallow (no pun intended).
