I should be thinking "OH SHIT" so why am I thinking "What If?"

Period hasn't turned up yet...

It normally appears at 7am on the dot on the monday after I start the break from the pill.

Its late...

We don't want any more children. We have two, one of each and they are hard enough work as it is. Since the youngest is now 4 we are getting our lives back - less interrupted nights etc etc.

I've never been broody. I had the kids because it was what was expected of me and I wanted to see if my ovaries worked TBH.

I keep imagining the soft skin of a baby, the breastfeeding, the snuggles...arghhhh!

Okay, so why isn't my period here yet!

Well, it's only 12hrs late, don't start panicking yet!

Are you under pressure now? stressed? Just lost weight? menopause?

No more pressure than normal, put on weight, and only 32 so I hope not the menopause...

oh go get a test and do it now

cazboldy · 29/09/2008 19:15

sorry.......

Have you taken the pill properly this month? Any sickness bugs or antibiotics?

Personally I'm a fan of big gaps dd2 was 6 when dd3 was born and it's been lovely. Noisy but lovely...

Did take the pill properly this month, but the past two months saw forgotten pills.

I think I will wait until tomorrow to go and buy a test...It might just turn up tomorrow morning!

I boiled my mooncup this morning and then forgot it in the pan when I went to work...Maybe my body missed it!

that's a sign of pregnancy brain

NorthernLurker · 29/09/2008 19:21

I think a test tomorrow would be a good idea then - and if you really don't want any more children either switch method or stop forgetting them!!

Pills not children obviously.

Good Luck!

Mmm, I never normally forget pills. Maybe old age...Or nature trying to overcome chemicals!

I feel a bit that you had 2 children to check your ovaries worked. Was that a joke?

You can still have breakthrough bleeding when pg, so what with the forgotten pills, it might be a very good idea to take a test.

If it is negative maybe book your OH in for the necessary?

ImnotMamaGbutsheLovesMe · 29/09/2008 20:01

Just checked out your profile - you are hot!!

No no, suffered from PCOS and very random cycles so the "wanted to see if my ovaries worked" was related to that.

DS was a result of me feeling that DD needed a sibling with a 2 yrs 6 months age gap. LOL how anal was I?

ps - not so hot now, 2 stone heavier than that photo, but too lazy to change it.

Glad to hear it! (that it wasn't serious.)

Yes, but, you can't have put 2 stone on on your face!!!!

Well 24hrs late, but it arrived and now I feel quite glad it did.

ImnotMamaGbutsheLovesMe · 01/10/2008 18:23

What are your plans now if you definitely don't want more babies?

NorthernLurker · 01/10/2008 18:24

Ok - if you're glad then you need to stop forgetting those pills! Might it be time for dh to be a brave soldier and trot off to the docs?

No he won't do that - He might want to have more children with another woman if we all die in a freak accident

I guess I will just be better with taking the pills.

I think sterilisation for me is a bit drastic.

ImnotMamaGbutsheLovesMe · 02/10/2008 18:57

Why, if you don't want more children?

NorthernLurker · 02/10/2008 19:01

I discussed that issue with dh. He pointed out that in that terrible event he would have bigger worries than finding a new wife and having a new family and that in any case the chance of us all being wiped out was thankfully tiny compared to the rather bigger chance of an unplanned baby. When you put it like that...

Thing is - you've forgotten it in the past and whilst you might or might not be ok with an unexpected baby - you definately need to talk to dh so he knows what's happening and can let you know how he feels.

No, that was his response - the wanting to replace us all.

Wouldn't female sterilisation involve a GA and time off work?
I'd rather not.

Mind you the amount we currently have sex - I must have been in cloud cuckoo to think I was pg.
