Babies: 0 - 3 Months

My Mini Rant....

So DH and I have gotten pregnant twice now while on birth control pills, so this time around I told my OB that I wasn't interested in the pill again as it keeps failing us (I have to be on a low dose because the higher levels of hormones make me very sick), so I am waiting for my first AF so I can get an IUD in.  My OB told us to use condoms in the meantime to prevent pregnancy.

 Well we have only had sex twice since DS #2 was born and both times using protection... however on Saturday I swear I had implantation bleeding! :(  I have only had bleeding like that twice in my life and both times were right before I found out I was pregnant.... so I am pretty sure that I am pregnant again... I hope that I am not, but I'm not holding my breath either... :( 

I am going to wait a few days to take a test because if it was implantation bleeding I should get my positive by Wednesday or Thursday (judging from previous pregnancies), but I just needed to rant a little... It just doesn't seem right that we can take all the right steps to prevent pregnancies and keep getting pregnant and other people try and try and can't.

Well like I said I just wanted to rant a little... not really looking for a solution or advice, just needed to get it out.

    You do not have to wait for AF to have IUD put in...just a thought...

  • I know... but it is easier for the IUD to be inserted because the cervix dialates a little during that time... my OB recommended waiting...

    I did not even feel it at 10w. I EBF so who knows when AF was coming and I too get pregnant way too easily. Took less than 10m. The ONLY part I felt was the speculum. I asked her to tell me when she was putting it in. She said...it already is.

  • That is great to know! :) If by some miracle I am not pregnant again, I will go ahead and just schedule it to be put in so I can stop worrying... everyone, including my OB, got me all worried that it would be painful/uncomfortable to have it in, which is why I have been waiting.

    Well after our little Julia surprise...I was all about it.

    Pants off, speculum, quick pinch (like a shot) not the IUD but a tool they anchor your cervi with, it feels like a quick sharp shot for a split secod. After that she put it in, trimmed the cord and done.

    Either way I want to hear the outcome!

  • Definately will let you know either way... I am glad to know that I am not alone with this 'problem'! :)

    Oh 3 times on Ortho Tri...early-mid 2nd tri losses with all 3. C was first try and with Julia...I was drunk.
  • Oh my!

    With us, it seems like anytime that we have any kind of quality alone time, we end up pregnant!
