I know I know Sarah don't think I got the hang of it yet lol can't do it on phone my bubba boy asleep on my lap and I'm enjoying the cuddles too much to move and get laptop x

Yeah I'm good thanks guys without going into too much info (in case you've just eaten! Lol) because of the type of Pill I'm on I'm not actually meant to have a * week but as it effects people differently I get a * week every 3 months or so but it usually lasts longer, and so far ice been on a * week since 7th Feb and its really getting me down. But my bf took me out for dinner on sat night, just to the local pub but we had such a good time, playing pool and having a giggle its really picked me up

Ah you must be on the same as me - I kinda like not having a * week
I was moved from the pill I was on for years because my BMI was too high and I was considered a risk - I was gutted because i liked knowing exactly when I was getting a * with each pack ending and it controlled the flow and pain brilliantly - then I was told I may still bleed on and off with this new one I was gutted but thankfully haven't had any problems since being on it 6 months ago - have you been on yours long? I prob had a few small bleeds for the first month but nothing major - I hope it sorts itself out - one thing the nurse did recommend for me (assuming you are on the same) was if I got irregular bleeding to take my own break after each pack to allow my body to do so and then start again (keeping in mind being unprotected during those times)
Glad you had a good time with your bf though - sometimes we just need a nice treat

I'm 30 next year too (also my wedding), when do you turn 30? Sorry to hear about your miscarriages. I struggled to conceive my 2nd and it's heartbreaking.

 

[jemmsie83]

Ha ha no Sarah I can't say the early mornings are a hilight lol god bless the inventor of DVD players ...

I'm 30 July next year ellen and I WILL be skinny lol and my bday pressie to myself will be a boob job not that I'm jumping the gun or anything lol yes secondary infertility is so hard as you don't get medical help as you have a child already yet you've done it once and can't understand why it can't happen again but if my little pudding is my lot then I'm happy I couldn't be a more proud mother to my little cherub and it just means I will continue to spoil him and cherish every lucky day of his life xx

I've been on it for 8mth now and most of the time I love it and tbh even though I've been on * week for 3 weeks I don't get pains or mood swings or anything but just a really light bleed that goes on for blooming ages! Thankfully it doesn't even affect my body magic with the bf Lmao! (sorry tmi!) The one I'm on is cerazette and I've not had anything like that recommended but they do keep trying to get me to have the implant but I've had friends who've had real problems on it so I'm a bit reluctant.

You are sorted stat wise.

Why have Mandy and Gemma got 'Century Club' stickers on their profile thingy though

Have you both lost 100lb? Have I missed summat?

Morning all, well only 10.30 and done in already!!! Have had two meetings in two days about students with eating disorders, it makes me so sad. I work in the Performing Arts Department of a college and am in charge of the pastoral care and the tutorial programe...bit like the old PSHE classes, sexual health, drug and alcohol education (Corky stop giggling!!) all of the embarrasing things the other lecturers don't want to talk about...that's me!! Basically I'm Mum to 200 students.....and most of the other lecturers!! The amount of students I deal with who have issues with food is unbelievable, have thought so many times that what they need is a good SW group!!! Most of the students are educated about nutrition and healthy diet within their course, they have a unit called "healthy performer" but the pressure they feel to look a certain way over powers the need to be healthy, I feel terrible for the girls that aren't eating...but the overeaters just make me want to cry.....I suppose because I identify with them. Some of the lecturers don't get it either, the anorexic's yes they get it, the over eaters it's just pull yourself together...stop eating so much...exercise more.....they, I have to tell you, are all very slim and I know have never had to worry about gaining weight, so so frustrating!!!! Sorry rant over....just thought some of you lovely people would understand!!
