I will be! Me and my partner are planning for our 2nd (1st is 9 months old) I've currently got the mirena fitted which I'm having removed next month then we can start trying. The waiting is a nightmare!!! X

 

[Mrs M]

Are you just waiting for your period to kick in before you can try? I could never get away with the pill, but I remember waiting 14 months for af to return after the injection!!

 

[Donna88]

I'm glad I decided to come off the injection early, it's just waiting for summer now so we can start to TTC, but at least I know once the weddings over we can try. (Although it's hard work not just taking risks)


When did you come off the pill? I hope your period comes quickly so you can start trying soon

 

[mel0013]

The injection really does play havoc with ur fertility levels. I opted for the coil as u return to normal almost as soon as it's removed xx

 

[Donna88]

I think after we have this one we'll stick to the methods we're using now, as the coil terrifies me, I react badly to the pill and the injection is a little too long term...

 

[Mrs M]

I'm getting sterilised after my next one so no need to worry for me!

Why does the coil terrify you donna88? I tried several different pills, the injection and implant one after another but get on with the coil as it contains very little hormones (mirena/Jaydess) or no hormones (copper) xx

 

[Donna88]

Just the idea of it being up there.... I've also heard lots of horror stories about it, like it not working and then causing problems with resulting pregnancies and about it hurting when they put it in and hurting when they take it out. I know it's pretty irrational, but the idea of it really freaks me out. It seems medieval to me. No offence meant to you or anyone else who does get on with it, it's just one of those weird things I have. I'm also really freaked out by cats and feet, I think it's just once I've got something like that into my head it's hard to get it out.

 

[mel0013]

I see I just wondered as u sound like uve had the same fun as me finding something that works for u................
Have to ask since u don't like feet or cats................. What about cat's feet?!?!

 

[Donna88]

Yeah, I have had issues I always thought people were silly when they moaned about contraception not working for them, but I'm an awkward bugger lol. I felt like I got on fine with the injection, it was only when I ended up having to be tested for bone problems that we realised my Vit D was very low and because the injection can cause brittle bones, I was running a lot at the time and my Nanna suffers from osteoporosis it seemed best that I should come off it. I wouldn't go back on it now anyway, as would not want the uncertainty of when my fertility would come back.

I suppose after I have a baby, I might have changed my mind on the coil. But right now it's makes me cringe.



Haha I'd say I don't mind cats feet, but it's their claws and teeth that freak me out (although I don't mind dogs, which I know is irrational but I believe it stems from when I was bitten by a cat when I was 3 or 4)

 

[Mrs M]

That could be this week!!! I'm so excited for you, I'll be looking out for your BFP in the couple of months!!

Getting sterilised cos it'll be my 3rd section and my final baby. From what I gather they offer it as it's quite risky to have more, and I will snatch their hands off at the tought of no more protection!!

Yeah mrs M! AF is due around thursday so gonna start trying after that hoping it comes though because i know some women can take a long time to get regular again! And donna i came off on the 8th of december

Ohh Mrs M! Whats your reason for that?
