another period/pregnancy question

[Spod]

not sure where this question should be posted but... okay, dd is 9.5 months old, still breastfeeding. I think i have had 2 periods... 28 days apart, only they were short...only bled for 2-3 days... not much to them really... pre-pregnancy they were 7 days, heavy and painful. So i was expecting my next period on monday just gone... no show.... and we had an accident with a condom. But, after the accident, a few days after, was when i thought my period had come.. but like i say, it was really short if it was one. I did a pregnancy test a week ago which was negative. All this week i have had cramps, but no period. i do feel a bit off colour... but that could just be tiredness... what do you think?

fingers crossed you get next AF soon - tho of course you might always get PG before next AF!

i tried the injection... awful for me... really bad periods and very irregular cycles... didnt stop my periods like most women... i just dont get on with contraceptives. I am really hoping its just a blip... maybe baby's feeding patterns have affected af?

i hope so, i bled for 2 days before i came off it, but last time round i carried on bleeding this time i havent even though we bd that night, so u never know

mummytoseven... dont say that! I would never wish a pregnancy away, but the next time i have a baby i want it to be at a nicer time in our lives.

fingers crossed for you!

it is the only contraceptive i can have spod, i have to take the mini pill with it to stop irregular bleeding but it works fine for me apart from the 1 stone weight gain which i have nearly lost in these 5 weeks

oh yeah... the weight gain, i remember, that was awful too! about 2.5 stone!

and i was a moody old hag too... and lost interest in sex... so no point in the contraception really!

thats 1 thing ive never been thats moody, even when pregnant, my dp couldnt beleave i wasnt moody as that was what his mates had warned him about

i was so not moody when preggers... overly and irritatingly nice and happy! so at least if i am again... not all bad

i had no symptoms of pregnancy at all last time round

gonna slope off to bed now... baby's been getting up dead early lately.... i'm whacked... thanks for the chat and advice... perhaps i will go to GP....eventually... she really is a hag.

oh spod - I didn't mean anything like that by saying let nature take its course - I just meant let your hormones sort themselves out without interfering with them by taking the pill or other hormones - thoughts about m/c never crossed my mind at all - because of the neg tests I have assumed that you aren't pg. So sorry to have inadvertently upset you

night spod

mummy2seven... no no no, i wasnt upset... it was when you said 'you mught get pregnant before your next AF'.... tempting fate and all that... I just meant that although i dont want to be pregnant just now, if i was i would accept it and be happy about it, but that in my odeal world i will wait and plan the next baby so that i can really enjoy it. no offence taken at all. AF returned today also!!!! so at least i can relax now.... thanks again for your support.

oh dear spod = that bit about getting pg before next af was directed at Johnno, not at you I really must go to bed earlier, and post when a bit more coherent!!!

oh i see!!!! i think i should get more sleep too!! this is the only time of night i get a chance to mumsnet..... i really wasnt offended/upset btw.... at the end of the day, every pregnancy is exciting isnt it? i was just so confused about AF not arriving etc... made me a bit panicky!
