    Well this could have been decided for me anyway. At the weekend I started bleeding and was admitted to hospital. Today I had test results to say i had a miscarriage. I didn't even know I was pregnant!! We've been being really careful too by using the pill and condoms so I don't know how much more careful we have to be.

    It's OK. We decided we didn't want another one anyway so I'm not upset about it. Just in bewilderment as to how it happened.

    I'm really sorry Black Saturn. ((((Hugs)))) Even though it's after the event IYSWIM it must still be a shock to your system :(

    BTW two of my three children were conceived whilst I was taking the pill :confused:

    Take care of yourself.

    I think it might be time to talk to your other half about him having the snip ...

    That's a shame - it's a lot easier for guys. Mine got himself snipped to avoid me going through abdominal surgery. A friend of mine got sterilised when her DH wouldn't get snipped, and she still got pregnant and miscarried - twice :(

    When I was pregnant with my 2 girls I hated the site of the stuff that gets stuck in the plug hole after you've washed up. It used to make me heave for ages just thinking about it. Anyway, that happened again on saturday morning after I washed up and I thought it was strange. Then I was at a car boot sale on saturday afternoon and the bleeding started. The more I think about it the more I realise all the usual symptoms were there.

    Now i just feel a bit drained and tired but I'm on my own with 2 children so I can't just drop everything and stop.

    B-S, hope you're feeling OK hun. I know you'd already decided not to have more babies but it's still a bit of a shock, and your hormones might be a bit wonky :) :grouphug:
