That's sort of the scenario that I was envisioning. Before reading Balt's post, I would have thought that it takes awhile to get pregnant after being on the pill, so I could have seen going off of it sooner rather than later, especially if I thought that yeah, he'll end up changing his mind.
Sucks doesn't it? People who don't want to get pregnant do, and the ones who do, don't. I have a friend who had two miscarriages in 2003. One in February that was a spontaneous termination at around 8 weeks and one in September where the fetus died and they had to induce a stillbirth delivery at two and a half months. She's been working with her OB/GYN to see why she can’t stay pregnant, but the insurance company refuses to pay for any testing at all. They’ll pay for her health care when she miscarries, but they won’t help her to try and figure out why she’s miscarrying so she can avoid it.
