Pregnancy Info HOME

I just went back on it last month after getting my first AF. I bled for 3 weeks on it, so I decided I am not going to take it anymore. I hadn't been on it for a few years prior to pregnancy. I think it must be normal after all the changes our bodies went thru during pregnancy, but I am not willing to bleed 3 weeks out of each month!

Hi rachael...not be nosey but I dont want to get on the pill anymore....what kind of BC are you taking...I dont want to get pregnant again Caleb is my last so I am so scared of becoming pg but at the same time I dont want to be on the pill.

Well, other than the fact that dh and I are way too tired to engage in any activity that would result in another baby, I decided not to use anything. We want one more. I'm so afraid of it taking too long to have another one since it took so long to get pregnant with him. I don't want to get pregnant yet, but the pill is not making me happy. I guess we won't try, but won't prevent either. And after our second baby, dh has agreed to get fixed, since I give birth. I'm too nervous to try the patch or the ring, so I may have another kid before too long!

I told dh I was not taking the pill anymore, I don't think he believed me LOL!! Won't he be surprised....: )

After you guys got off the pill, did you bleed? To Monica, I'm going to ask my doctor about the shot. The reason I'm getting off the pill, besides it making me sick, is because it makes my heart/chest area hurt. I had heart pain here and there before I got pregnant and it got a lot worse while I was pregnant. Then it went away after I had my baby. Now, it came back with the pill and I don't want to go through that anymore. If the shot makes me sick, too, I'll have to stick to the basic BC, like condoms or foam. Anyway, thanks for your inut.

you would be surprised....from what I have read you are more fertile after you have been pregnant once. Yup...me and Dh have had activity maybe only twice in the last 4 months. My DH needs to get fixed but he is not all thrilled about its.

The pill was making me nauseous too, not pleasant. I am pretty proud of dh for being on board about getting fixed. He has talked to other friends of ours who have had it done and realized he will not lose his manhood LOL! I stopped bleeding as soon as I got off the pill last week. Go figure.

We're going to have one more in like 4 or 5 years. I'm happy with one right now! After we have our second one, my hubby has already volunteered to get fixed. Lol! I grew up with 2 brothers and 2 sisters, so 2 kids are enough for me!

T. me again...lol...I have a 5 year old and the age difference is great. He helps me out a lot and its less stressful.

Yeah, I don't want to have to do so much runny around after a toddler and take care of a newborn at the same time. Although, it woiuld keep me in shape! Lol! But I think that's a good age difference too. I had a sister 1 year older and a sister 1 year younger. I was the middle daugther and boy did that suck!

See, my cousin had hers 6 yrs apart and thought it was too far, it was really difficult for her to do the baby thing again after that long. Me and my sister are only 2 1/2 yrs apart, and I want Lucas to have a sibling that he can always play with, and be pretty close in age to. Although the thought of two of them terrifies me right now!! Also, I was thinking it may be easier in the long run and on my body to get it overwith faster, and get thru the toddler stages once instead of twice. Yikes! I do flip flop with it though.

true...but If there is one thing I am so happy I did was to give Michael 100% attention for the first 5 years of his life... because now with caleb he doesnt get too much time with me. Its so sad... but I am happy that his baby and toddler years were spent with just me and daddy. We went to a party the other day and there was a 9 year old boy and they played so well....I was happy because that is the age difference with my boys...plus michael is a bit on the immature side for a 5 year old.. he is not in kindergaren yet either.

I agree with giving my daughter 100% attention while she's this young too. I think it would be easier on me personally because I love spending time with her. I'm a stay at home mom and I love it!

There is 3 years between my oldest son and my daughter. Then theres 18 month between my daughter and my baby. It isn't that hard looking after them, the only thing is you need eyes up your arse to watch them! Leigh will poke Ben in the eye and squeeze his hands, then Adam will torment Leigh and them 2 will fight.... Ohh the fun of it all! But I wouldn't have it any other way. I am using the coil when I go for my 6 weeks check up. I refuse to take any pills. I know I will forget one and knowing my luck I will fall pregnant straight away. 2 times I've fell pregnant it was 1st time wih no contraception. The first I was on the pill injection.

Those that want to give your 1st child 100% attention, what are you going ot do with your 2nd child? Aren't they good enough to get the full 100%? I don't mean to sound b___hy, and I appologise if I do, but it sounds rather strange.

Yes, the 2nd child deserves 100% too. That's why we're waiting until our first one starts kindergarten. That way, I'll have more time for the 2nd baby. I guess some people just look at it differently.
