1999-The Beginning

When Dan and I got married in 1999, I remember a conversation we had a few months before our BIG Day.  He wanted to start a family right away, so why don't I go off birth control pills before the wedding?   Naturally I thought the idea was absurd!  Going off birth control after years of using the same method had way too many risks - the moodiness, the inevitable skin breakouts, and of course the possibility of my "monthly visitor" arriving during the honeymoon.  If you think about it -he had much more to lose than I did - so I was easily able to convince him that birth control should remain with us until after our wedding.....
