My Husband and I are planning on trying to conceive our first child. I am on birth control pills now, although I think I may be pregnant already, as I know it is possible, and I have been having some symptoms, although I know some of them can be associated with PMS.
Anyways, I have about three months worth of BC pills left, and I don't know if I should stop immediately, after this cycle, or just finish all of the ones I have left. One of my best friends is about to have a baby shower in a two months, and I think it might spoil her day if all of our friends found out that I am pregnant.
My Husband and I are both excited and want to get started, but I'm wondering if I should wait to try and conceive until after my friend gives birth?

You shouldn't take birth control pills if you are pregnant. Go to the doctor and get a pregnancy test.
Don't worry about your friend. So long as you don't anounce to the world that you are pregnant during your friend's shower, her day won't be spoiled. Many couples opt to wait a few months before telling everyone that they are pregnant, anyway.
Go ahead and start trying to conceive after you've finished this month's pills. Good luck!

Don't put off pregnancy plans because of your friend. She would probably be excited to think that you'll have kids close to the same age. Besides, it could take a while after getting off birth control to have a baby. My advice is to go for it. She may have even delivered before you become pregnant. If you do find out your are pregnant, and are still worried about, just wait a little while to tell everyone, it will be a while before you start showing!

Unless your "friend" is a total ***** she will be thrilled that you can both be going through this together.Pregnancy can be a scary time in a woman's life and any friend would be grateful for someone to share the experience with and have someone know exactly how it feels.
If you know you definitely are pregnant, then tell her before the shower and if she wants everyone to know then let her tell them, make it something about her if shes' self centred and then you can have it both ways.

What? Are you kidding me right now? Does your friend think that the world revolves around her? This is your choice. If you had become pregnant my happenstance, would you wait until after the baby shower to say something to her? Heck no, you wouldn't...at least I would hope not. You should go ahead and try to concieve if that is what you and your husband are wanting. And when you get pregnant, you should tell all your friends.

Who says you HAVE to spoil her day? Either you'll be pregnant or you won't be. That will have NOTHING to do with your friend's shower unless you find out just before the shower and tend to make it known at the shower. If you know well in advance of the shower tell everyone. If you know just prior to the shower keep your mouth shut until after...what's the big issue?
