Waiting to TTC

I didn't get any side effects from the pill either Toni. 

I was on Norimon for 8 years until we decided to TTC and got Michaela.  I didn't go back on it because I didn't trust the hormones from the pill not to go into my breast milk and affect Michaela's fertility when she grows up (I don't know if there have been studies or anything along those lines but I didn't want to risk it anyway) and I figured after 8 years of me taking care of birth control it was DHs turn.

 

ETA: With me being so clucky for so long it's probably safest that DH is in charge of contraception.

Ah, that makes sense.  Nothing like my cushie office job, I was able to work up until the day I gave birth (literally) although I won't be doing that next time.

Ohhh that's an interesting job Emma!

Random comment here but I have found though, that the UK firemen are a lot hotter (IMO looks wise lol) than NZ ones - perhaps I only see the not-so-hot ones driving around Auckland lol
Doesn't help that my boss is ex-fire service and definitely NOT HOT!!

I was out'd at 6 weeks pregnant. Above mentioned Boss was really keen on me to try some wine he had ordered at a post-conference dinner and I would normally have a glass (or 3 ) but was tee-total since getting our BFP. Our Administrator piped up "geez Toni, anyone would think you're pregnant!" to which I responded with 3rd degree blushing
The only issue in my job was the fear that my waters would break in an office full of 8 men! LOL
My fear wasn't realised - thank god! But something to look forward to next time LOL

Everytime I see a fire truck I always have to have a sneaky look but usually end up *disappointed* because more often than not, they're old & I was expecting young & hot . So you could well be right Toni.

I was so worried about my waters breaking somewhere in public too but it turned out that there were no waters anyway, for some reason. I could've spared myself a lot of worry if I'd known that.

There is one nice army fireman here and he is quite young too.

My waters have only broke on the hospital bed, and they ill do that again next time too.

I had mine broken in hospital too. Soooooo glad it didn't happen anywhere public hehe

ha ha all these things to look forward to LOL

My waters broke on the loo thank goodness. It never even occured to me that they might break in public. I was more worried about throwing up on the bus ride to work.

I was on BCP for about 10yrs before I cam off to get pg with Jack. I was lucky to have no side effects, well except for a very light/non-existant AF each month. Unfortunately we decided I wouldn't go back onto it after Jack was born so AF has come back with avengance.

so much to look forward to.:) being on this board is making me too clucky , now I keep thinking 'myabe we can start trying Sept...." because chances are wont happen first month or two...   But then makes it difficult with Hen's night.
I could just ask my mate to organise it for Sept (wedding is Nov 1st) .
But then there are the guys from work.. they pretty set on the idea that I will be having a STAGS night courtesy of them. Which will be trouble!

My niece was supposed to be induced at 36-37 weeks but she had other ideas, and came at 31 weeks after only 1 hour of labour, I guess its the pay off my SIL gets for having a horrible time during pregnancy.

There will only be 2 children for us, then that's it I will be hitting 40 then and will probably go on the IUD or similar until menopause.

I thought with the big op, they try to leave some ovary tissue behind so you don't go thru early menopause.

Scary talking about babies and menopause in the same post.
