abstinence!! lol :(

LOL - there has been a lot of abstinence going on in MFD towers too 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?

Afternoon all..

Lazy oik me only got up at 12.45pm and lazy oik Rhysy only got up at 1.35pm! :eek: 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!

:hello: carla! xx

mfd - would you consider an IUS? saved me ££££s in not needing tampons and ibruprofen and safe while BFing (I really need to get another put in!)

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

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

I do 22 September 2002

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 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 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.

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!?

I keep wondering when i should be expecting a period, is it true that bf'ing delays it?

I stopped bleeding completely when she was 2 weeks old, and it was v.light throughout - not how i remembered it being after DS :eek:

Gisi - I gave mine to my friend who is due any day. Felt a bit odd, but no reason to be shy I suppose!

Periods - most recommend using pads for the first period, I assume I'm exempt from that as it has been 9 months since I gave birth? if/when I get a period, can I use tampons?

My first period started just before New Year, and Izzy's first birthday was on the 14th January, so Beanie you might still have a while to go!

Everyone had said the first one was a killer, but mine wasn't too bad - I normally get quite bad period pains, and I got some, but not as bad as normal (from what I remember!)... or maybe having a baby has made me a bit less of a big softie? It was quite heavy, but didn't last any longer than normal.

You might want to keep hold of at least some pads for now though - I found that my "geography" has changed so much I couldn't put a tampon in :eek:. I will have another try next time, as I hate pads, but I got myself so upset and worried over it that I gave up trying .

The worst thing though, was that now periods are back so is the PMT. When I was on the pill it solved the problem, but I can't go back on the one I was taking while BF. Not that I need to be taking it anyway, so might as well wait, rather than trying different mini-pills to see which one agrees with me (last time i switched pills it took about 3 attempts to find the right one, so I'd rather wait and stick with what I know I think).

Bruno you can come back out from behind the cushions now!

Doesn't answer the question then... never mind, it was worth a try! Have you tried getting an answer out of HMRC? It's a bit like getting blood out of a stone sometimes, but you never know, you could be lucky.

Afternoon all

Well Charly is now 13lb12 at 18 weeks - not had her weighed for 6 weeks and only gonna go every month from now on.

Sleep didn't go well last night, she woke almost every half hour until 12.30 when I gave up and brought her in with me. At 18 weeks, she isn't too young to do the pick up/put down thing is she? Leave her while she whinges and only pick up if she really cries/screams, don't speak to her and put her down as soon as she stops? Any advice if this is the way to go?

Hugs to all xxx

PS Want to try and post a pic - will see if I can sort it if she stays quiet in her swing.
