Just a teensy weensy little question about periods... *slightly nervous giggle*

[fastasleep]

I can't believe I'm writing this post as a second timer, the shame!

Last time I expressed exclusively I only got just enough milk and my periods returned straight away... this time I'm doing the same but getting enough to feed 3/4 babies! I thought my periods would come back when I stopped doing an overnight pump, and everyone I know tells me that they only didn't get periods whilst their baby was having night feeds...

The slight worry is that I had a really light on and offy period - I'm quite sure it wasn't lochia as that turned lovely and brown (yuck!) and disappeared after two weeks, two weeks later I had a few days of bright red blood... and then nothing since and we were sort of naughty one time... (she's only 12 weeks old though..)

I hope MTS doesn't read this cos she'll laugh, I hope DH doesn't read this cos he'll laugh and then he'll scold me!!

I don't want to over-react and tests cost too much...

Oh can this thread get any more cringe-worthy! *STICKING to it

fastasleep i like you grumpy

PMSL!!!!!!

Should I refridgerate it!!!!?

OK, I admit that I did think after I typed it that the being in the fridge thing was a spectacularly dumb question, as presumably when docs etc send off wee it goes in a fridge at some point! we need sweetkitty on this (she's a microbiologist IIRC).

Have lots of ((((hugs))))) if you're not having a nap at the moment.

omg FA i just read your post on sept 06, thanks for my congrats btw - ill check in hre after i pick dp up from work to see what the results are, dont keep us waiting bounce on dh as soon as he comes thru that door!!!

good luck x

Ahhh oeasy it is to get sucked into somene elses life! This is better than neighbours! (did i just admit to watching that?) Watch this space! I'm so absorbed, or just facinated that there are people out there with small children with the time for accidents!

and more {{{hugs}}}}

Thanks for the hugs ... DH is late, so won't be back till 5:30 probably, and I express at 5:30 so if he's any later non of you guys are going to find out until 6:15... so Just like neighbours I'm stringing you all along!

well?????????????????

you're doing this on purpose!!!!

honestly, he's keeping us in suspense for another hour, how inconsiderate of him

i bet they're both there with their test... and the results... LAUGHING AT US!

Fastasleep....
I am in exactly the same position as you! DS is 3 in April and DD is 12 weeks on Friday! However I am currently in denial...
I had regular periods after DS, but so far nothing this time.
Now I've read this thread I feel I should do a test, but no morning pee in my fridge...
ahhh

You can tell by my typing that I haven't tested! I'm stressing out now!

Just don't put your pee in the fridge JM, they'll never forget sorry if I've sparked a bit of panicking over at your end! Can't hurt to do a test though!

i wish i were pregnant

Aww starlover I'll let you have this potential one for 50p and a bag of iced gems!

hmmm well that seems like a fair exchange!

dp won't let me have one... however i live in hope having read the pregnant while using condoms thread!

S I'll tell you a secret.... get a pin, right? Now...see the condom packet.....

(before you ask - no I didn't!)

lol FA, that thought did cross my mind too about putting a hole in some condoms...

lol!

actually.. i did try that once. felt REALLY bad afterwards. didn't work either!

That's what I'll be doing in say... 18 years time, when I've had a job and we're rich(er) but definately not atm!

Starlover lol! Aww guilt always gets you eh... hmm.. you could try being er... 'frantic' in the hope it comes off!

i reckon once we have a house and are settled then he might be up for another one.... of course, then we will have to move again into a bigger house

Oh god we can't afford a bigger house...gets nervous again where is that man!!
