No update yet, I have been feeling super ouchy crampy for the past three days. I am going to wait it out until tomorrow to do a test (as AF is only really due today so I want to see if she arrives before spending money on the test).

I'm pretty sure you could still rely on the IUD. I mean, it's one of the options that doesn't really have the option of user error which means it is more dependable than condoms (user determined of course!) which have technically have a higher efficacy rate.

I think everyone has to remember that if you are having sex, then you are at the risk of an unplanned pregnancy. Only solution is to abstain

I agree.  No form of contraception is 100% guarenteed but the IUD is 99% effective which is pretty high - condoms claim to be 98% effective (although other studies have shown it's closer to 86% when you take into account the margin for human error).

Oops... just looked it up and even 'techincally' Jo is right... IUDs are much more effective than condoms.

oh yeah IUDs ARE pretty much the best form of contraception to use (which was why I got one in the first place) unless you go for sterilisation... I was just one of those very few lucky ones that it failed for LOL
And it did work for about 14 months for me

Ok - AF did actually arrive this month but it is a B*tch of a period! I won't go into detail but lets just say it is a big cleanout and its mega painful.

But it has prompted us to plan our next, a bit sooner than we thought. We 4 trips booked over the next 9 months, to Australia and Fiji so I want to be able to enjoy those - but we will start TTC on 1 June 09!

Thanks - we were a bit bummed, a bit relieved but it definitely made us sure that we do want another one soon.
