haha i guess i did. Oops. I wish it was forbidden im not much into it anyway. But its totally not forbidden I also had stitches so my doctor was very adamant that i wait til i was 6 wks. As far as the menstrual cycle coming back my son is 3 months old and i still havent gotten mine back.[due to bf i think]

I`d ask for it at your 6 week check up. But be very careful until then because you can definitely still get pregnant, and you don`t know how long til you get your first period...I didn`t get my first period until 2 full months after I stopped breastfeeding.

When i had my baby i started the first sunday after i had him.

Don`t wait till your first cycle you could get pregnant again and not know! I have a friend who was going to do this and then felt a baby kick.. she was 6 months pregnant! She thought she was just having trouble moving the baby weight :) It`s fine to start the mini pill straight away but you can wait 4-6 weeks post birth.. you wont be ovulating in that time.

I think you are supposed to wait till the sunday anfter AF starts for the first time not the bleeding you are having now and it will get you on track so no sex till then or use condoms!

You can get pregnant before you cycle comes back so I would say make sure you are on the pill as soon as you are ready to have sex. That`s how you hear of people having a baby 9 months after there first. Just ask your doc.

ProudMomma - Hehe you made sex sound forbidden then! And you can have sex but they advise against it! But 2wks pp was enough for me :-D

bethk (1083.6 days ago)
They say you cant start it without ur first cycle or at least ur 6wks pp. Wats the rush?

6 week check up

GavinsMum (1083.6 days ago)
first off you dont need to go on it right away becasue your not aloud to have sex for the first 6 weeks. And if you are breast feeding there is a special pill they give you for breastfeeding mothers. but my doctor talked to me about bc at my 6 week check up

Lookalike (1083.6 days ago)
Yeah, I`d talk with the doctor. I think if you`re breastfeeding the circumstances may be different than if you`re formula feeding.

Talk with your doc at your follow up appt about it.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
