haha! I know how you feel with that one! Am going to get an IUS fitted, too because I know that if the contraception was left to me every day or every time we had I might not be 100% motivated - I think I might just think "Oh to hell with it, if it happens it's meant to happen" - and then you know where we'd be in another 9 months ! And I kinda wanna enjoy this one a bit first!! lol Need to get my body back into shape and get a stable job first, anyway.

Must be restrained... no more babies yet. No more babies yet... (can't actually say it like I mean it Definately a good job I'm having the long term contraception fitted! lol)

thats exactly how Oscar happened. I hadn't used contreception for years though. I have PCOS and was luck that it did happen. I feel a little odd using something now, kind of like tempting fate to bite me on the bum later, hence wanting to use as little hormones as possible. OH wanted me to carry on using the 'if its meant to be' method, but I don't think the uni will be happy if I did catch again

Sorry to hear you hav PCOS - glad you managed to concieve and go full term anyway - you must have been sooooo excited when you found out!

I had pelvic inflamatory disease last year and was told there was a good chance I wouldn't be able to have kids - My mum's neighbour was infertile because of the same infection. I can't tell you how blessed I feel to have Anna right now...

My husband and I have gone through one miscarriage together and Anna wasn't planned but I truly thought it would never happen for us and am so, just, completely overjoyed at having her - It feels so right.

I'm sure things will be fine for you in the future, hun - You seem very fertile and the IUS doesn't affect your future fertility (one of the things I like about it is my fertility will return to normal very soon after it's taken out so we don't have to remember to take / use contraception until we want #2, and then we just have to get it removed.)

Best of luck with the IUS and with everything in the future

I have a friend who has had an UID in for about 3 years now, and has had about 5 or 6 infections, one slip, and is always crampy. I was actually thinking about getting one, until I heard that they can mess up your reproductive system, and since I only have one fallopian tube and one ovary (ectopic pregnancy) I need to take extra special care of mine... so I will be looking into other options. Also there is still a chance of ectopic pregnancies occouring with an IUD.

Good luck with whatever you choose.

I don't qualify for the IUD, my cervix isn't long enough.

I couldn't have one. I have sealed up
They did offer for me to go to the hospital and have an injection to have it inserted, but I said no. I've had enough of being poked around down there, so I have the pill instead, not my first choice. I'm a bit gutted to be honest but there we go. I will just have to watch my appitite
