I *think* I'm ok with it.

I have bipolar. I am not medicated at the present time for a few reasons, but mainly because of ttc and the risks to the unborn baby if I were to be on the mood stabilising medications. Another reason is because I am going through CBT therapy at the present time to TRY and forestall the use of meds at all.

But...I don't think it is working. So, as of my appointment with my psychiatrist yesterday, I am on a official ttc "deadline".

I will be continuing to ttc as I am now until my next p-doc appointment on the 3rd November. If I have not conceived by that time, I'm pulling the pin and going onto meds. Not sure how long for, could be six months, could be longer. IF I am still keen to complete my family after that time, I will be taken off the meds and will start ttc again.

So, my clock is REALLY ticking now.
