Has anyone else used lactation as a birth control? With dd and ds my periods returned almost straight away but tyhis time with dd #2 they have not. she is ebf with no dummy etc and is nursed on demand and sucks on demand. No longer than 2 hours during the day and no longer tha the odd 6 hour over night ( normally 4) she is 10 weeks now and i will probably ahve a mirena back in, although we do want on elast baby , ideally if im picky not to be pg till early next year...so dd3 is nearly 2 when last bub comes a long. But it i guess wouldnt be the end of the world if it was sooner... Dh works away alot mon- friday each week so to be blunt its not like we have alot of time! anyone else been there before... the reason behind not getting the mirena in yet is puerly lazy! i have the script for it... and had asken the hospitla for an appointment, it didnt turn up.. rang my obs consultant and she was chasing/ re booking it but that was 4 weks ago and still no letter. i think one of the local gps do them so i will go down that line eventually.. maybe... urmmmm bt do i really need to??
