If I were you, I would take this time waiting to try different methods of carry to see what works best for you and then get comfortable carrying in your home as much as possible. Just my .02
Off body carry should be your last option as a choice when carrying. Sometimes it is hard to avoid, and is better than nothing, but leaves too many chances for a purse to be grabbed or for you to forget (even for a moment) your purse, clutch, dayplanner or whatever. Then the offbody carry is sitting where you left it, with a loaded gun inside, just waiting for someone else to come across it. If you carry on your person, the firearm goes where you do no matter what.
