mishmash, re-read spaceys thread again...Blame the wine .

psychomum5 · 18/08/2006 10:49

all bar my second was unplanned

was told at 18 that due to PCOS i had a 5% chance of falling naturally.....then 2wks before I was getting married found that my wedding nerves weren't nerves......i was pregnant.

was 20 then, 21 when DD1 was born.

DD2 was planned.....had her at 24.

DD3 was discussed and planned for, but we had decided that we would have no#3 in yr 2000.....no#3 came in 1998.

no#4 came in 2000, and then had no#5 two yr later.....he was discussed tho as we didn't want DS1 being an only boy under three sisters, but DH wasn't keen.

ST. Johns wort mixed with the pill tho took descision out of our hands

won't be anymore for us tho as I have the mirina coil and DH has had the snip.

DH is still cross that the consultant told me 5% chance of babaies only for us to end up with 4

psychomum5 · 18/08/2006 10:51

no......ended up with 5 i meant!!
