Yep Aunt Flows back...

Well i wasn't sure at first if it was her or not, but seen as though the bleeding has lasted 4 days with a little spotting this morning i know that it is defiantly her. I also couldn't start the pill this cycle as i wasn't sure if it was her or not so i am going to need to start it at the next cycle. It kind of sucks that i wasn't able to breast feed as it means i wouldn't have got my period so soon after his birth...but what can you do.


I have come to terms with taking the pill as well, i have thought that i will take it until the end of 2011 and will stop it at my last cycle of the end of next year. Michael and i have talked about trying for our second in June/July 2012 but the decision will not be finalised until Lachlan turns one, but stopping the pill at the end of next year will mean that my body can get it out of our system by the time we start trying.

Ob appointment

Well yesterday DH and I went and saw Dr Davis. Dr Davis talked to me about how traumatic Lachlan's birth was and how he couldn't believe how much blood I loss. He also checked my incision site and let me know that it was healing well. We also talked about delivery if we decided to have another child, he siad that if I would like the option of vaginal birth that it would be still on the table, but DH and I have already talked about it and that I would probably have a c-section as things could be controlled more.

In the appointment Dr Davis gave me a script for Yasmin which is a birth control pill. I expected that this would come up but I didn't know how I would react when it did. I didn't say anything in the appointment and neither did DH but when we left DH said this to me "I am only going to say this once, you are talking the pill." I was devastated when he said this, we said that we wanted another child, and that we were going to talk about it when Lachlan turns 1 but going on the pill seems so final and it took my body a while to adjust off it when I came off it and that was before we decided that we wanted to try for a baby and I don't want to have to try forever for a second. so I am going to need to talk to DH and tell him my concerns and if he wants me to take it I will only take it for 6 months as I will need to let my body re adjust again.

also on another note I have had a cold that I got from my family and I have given it to Lachlan which hasn't been fun. so we have both been yucky and snotty.
