Does anyone else worry their past might have ruined things?

[SunnyGirl]

I keep worrying that a funny reaction to the coil (copper only) a few years ago has ruined things
It gave me what felt like fizzing in my womb and stabbing pains - the docs I went to (several- GP, A&E, FPC) kept refusing to remove it in case I got pg & sued. It took over a week of agony before someone finally removed it bc I'd abstained from sex for long enough. I keep worrying I've been damaged. And I also fell on a barrier at the train station (the low ones around ticket machines to stop trollies hitting them) and landed on my left pelvic bone. My first thought then was omg there goes my equipment

Anyone else panic? X

i had the implanon in years ago and have since not fallen pregnant with successfull pregnancy anyway in 3 years, yes my ttc has been on and off but have had unprotected sex for most of this with my OH and nothing........not a dicky bird........ so yeah sometimes i worry that has made it harder for me to concieve but surely if it was going to affect that thy wudnt give us it
and as for u damaging urself surely u wud have had some kind long lasting pain or problem down there?? im no doctor so dunno but id have thought if it was damaged ur body wud have let u know somehow??
good luck huny

Yeah I worry like that all the time, also worry from taking morning after pill a couple of times a few years back after an accident : / when I didn't want any kiddies at the time. Little dd I know it would be so hard to get pregnant. If I'd ov known I would never of taken it an I would never have gone on the pill either. I just think now it's so unnatural and hate myself for taking the pill

 

[Piglet's Mama]

I have learned so much since TTC - I can't believe how naive I was about getting pregnant. I too wish I'd come off the pill sooner, or started trying sooner. I also look at some of my friends who are older than me who are still putting off having kids, for various reasons that I'm sure are the right ones for them now. But I would hate for them to really struggle, like some of you lovely ladies here on PF are, when they eventually decide they are "ready".
Hope it's our turn soon ladies x

[linxminx21]

and me i worry that makes me stress then i worry coz im stressed big circle
thank god for PF!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[star fish]

Ha ha, looks like we all stress about stress! I worry about my age, tell myself off for leaving it so long, but really blame my DH. It took me literally years to land him, tosser

Now he had better bloody be worth it and get his willy going double time!

 

[rachaellouise]

Yeah I worry too, I took the morning after pill probably about 4 times in total when I was younger and not ready for kids, alos having been on the pill since I was 14 then on Impanon for the past 3.5 years, i worry my body may have given up hope

 

[sweety143]

this is the reason ive never taken pills -have always used natural family planning

 

[midnight]

hiya ladies just thought id let you know i had the implant in for the full 3 years and when it was time to come out we decided to ttc after researching they said it could take ages ect so thought better start early and i got pregnant straight away so dont worry too much about thinking the pill or other contraception as ruined your chances yes some take longer than others to concieve just relax and have fun i have found most women fall pregnant when they are most relaxed and dont stress to much easier said than done though eh i wish you all the luck in the world and hope you get your bfp soon xx

 

[Vickyxx]

Yup I am a worrier as well

as well as worrying about my age, dh's age, being on the pill for 15 years...

My biggest worry is that when I was younger I had a bit of a reckless stage .... and stupidly caught chlamydia which I was eventually treated for but it can affect fertility if left for a long time, so I worry that I may have done myself damage by being stupid all them years ago!!

 

[catty1]

I was absolutely convinced that my past would stop me concieving.

I took the pill non-stop (no 7 day breaks - I was too busy for periods!) without telling my doctor for 13 years. I also had Chlamydia which I must have had for at least 5 years before it was diagnosed. I also smoked alot (and not just ciggarettes when I was younger).

I think the human body is a remarkable thing and at the end of the day the only thing a species needs to do is to reproduce and the body will do that aginst all odds - Sorry of that sounds a bit clinical, I'm a scientist!

Good luck all

 

[Lilelephant]

I worry also! I used to be anorexic when I was a teenager...(Ballet dancer) and worry that I ruined my insides but doc says it shouldn't make a difference now as I am mensturating and ovulating normally!
I can't believe what I did for myself! I love eating now especially chocolate fudge cake he he

I honestly couldn't think of anything when i first read the question - i guess i wish that i had been more athletic.

I was always althletic as a child but once it came to secondary school i just never got into it because i didn't want to attend after school activities.

I guess i worry that my lack of physical stamina has meant that my oxygen intake and heart rate and circulation are pretty poor... I'm only a size 12/14 (ok i'm a size 14 dammit!) but i get out of breath going upstairs and if i sprinted for 30 seconds it would probably take me an hour to recover

Now i don't know how to get into a sport or which sport and solo exercise is pretty dull. I hate going to exercise classes because 90% of the women their are health freaks and all super lean.

I know i need to get over my slump...

 

[SunnyGirl]

LouiseB I was the same until I started interval training. Do u have an iPhone or Touch? Get Couch to 5k app - I swear it works. I've gone from out of breath up few stairs to running for an hour. Started in feb. Xxx

 

[Tracey M]

starfish - soooo funny! I was 34 before I had my son and id been on pill since I was 14.... I smoked (ahem and not just cigs), I drank and dabbled in drugs (naughty girl) but that was all way before I got pregnant. I came off pill and was pregnant 2 weeks later after 20 long years if popping pills. Hope that may make some of you feel better! I'm 38 now, ttc baby 2.

I do, i've already mentioned getting the app to my hubby I just need to charge my phone aand that is what it's doing right now

What do you wear when you go jogging when it's so bloody cold?

 

[SunnyGirl]

I wear the saddest thing ever - my original school PE kit bottoms (I'm 33) and various vest tops plus a bodywarmer gilet thing. And ace running shoes a b'day pressie from Big Bro. You're not freezing for long I can tell ya!!! Best to layer the tops so you can disrobe or vice versa at will.

You do need good shoes.

Yay let me know how you find the app! X
