    same reason why i stopped taking it after the 3rd month! :o

    I tried three types of mini-pill (can't take the normal pill due to BP) and had random, almost constant light bleeding with all of them. It doesn't mean it's not working though, according to my GP. This was all way before I had Henry, BTW. My doc did suggest I tried taking two pills a day as I was near the 'cut off' weight wise (I think it was 11 stone), but this had not effect at all so I stopped taking the pill altogether.

    Cleaning is progressing and I have just cleared out LO's room. My fairies have found a couple of items to offer:

    Breastflow bottle- brand new, never used. It's the one that was given away free last year, supposed to be like BFing.

    H+Care wipes- a bit of a random one but they came in the Emma's Diary bag. They are moist toilet tissue for people with piles :o. Thanks to my c-section I have no use for them, but happy to discretely pass them on to anyone who has (and is too embarrassed to buy such a thing in the shops).

  • Finally got Izzy down for a nap. One lot of washing up done, so letting it drip dry while I drink a hot chocolate and relax for a mo.

    I've not caught on the last few pages, but re tax on health insurance. I don't know much about how the revenue decide on tax codes, just what happens when we've got them. But what I do know:

    The tax year runs from 6th April one year to 5th April the following year. If you have health insurance in year one, your company doesn't need to declare it to the revenue (on a form called a p11d, incase anyone cares :rotfl:) until the end of July and by the time the revenue act on it it could well be near enough two years after you start getting the health insurance. Sometimes they don't even put you onto a new tax code until the beginning of the following year. So you could have signed up to health insurance through work in May 2008, the revenue wouldn't be informed until July 2009, and they might not get off their *&^% until April 2010 to give you a new tax code.

    I don't know if that helps at all - do you remember when you signed up with health insurance?

    abstinence!! lol :o:(

    LOL - there has been a lot of abstinence going on in MFD towers too :o too tired most of the time. We are trying to rectify it though!



    I remember seeing that on the pack jillie. I think most people are supposed not to bleed though because it stops an egg being released and blocks the hormones that tell your body it needs to shed its womb lining (or something like that!) So I am wondering if it isn't working for me??



    Do you think anybody would mind if I had a nap for an hour?

    possibly, personally i'd go back to GP and see if can change to something else.

    Afternoon all..

    Lazy oik me only got up at 12.45pm and lazy oik Rhysy only got up at 1.35pm! :eek: :o He's demolished a bowl of pear porridge and sparko again on his playgym.. There was a muslin just out of arms reach, so he rolled on his side, grabbed it, dragged it with him as he rolled back, covered his face and went to sleep! *confused*

    I'm on Micronor mini pill and never had periods in the four years I was on it before having Rhys and not had one since going back on it six weeks after Rhys was born. Hopefully next period I have will be whenever (if ever!) I'm TTC again! :D

    :hello: carla! ;) xx

    No. The thought of having something alien inside me makes me feel quite queasy :o
    Same reason that I wouldn't consider the injection or implant.
    I need to be in control :o

    I don't know if that helps at all - do you remember when you signed up with health insurance?

    I do :D 22 September 2002 :D

    I increased the policy in July 2006 to include my new hubby, so now I also pay a small monthly contribution.

    I am not sure if I increased it again when I had Benjamin to include him. I am pretty sure I didn't but I couldn't say for sure :o I dunno if work would do it automatically for me?

    I am so shoite with my finances! Weezlie and SM would have a fit!!!

    I simply cant be bothered with the bleeding! Also, I was impossible to live with, the mood swings while I was on it were atrocious! Nearly made me and OH split....no good!! Im thinking an IUS is on the cards for me....Just have to get round to making the doc appointment!! *rolly eyes smilie* -- p.s. where have all the smilies gone!?
