Pills and late periods

[littlestar]

I really want to stay off the pill until we start TTC (obv won't need it then either) but it means using condoms and they're soo expensive and it so doesn't feel as good. -Sigh-

Nightkd we brought our Condoms online they're much cheaper and you specify the brands you want, alternatively they free from the family planning clinic. We brought over 100 for about £25-30 online (more you buy cheaper they are) we brought last year before we TTC (thankfully they have a long date) as we still have some left

You can get condoms for free from any doctor, walk in centre or sexual health clinic. If go in and ask they will give you a ton of them!

Thanks, I know this, and they're horrid! They're extrememely thick, too small for OH and rub me raw! I don't get on with Pasante, and this seems to be the brand they supply.

The only ones we really get on with nowadays are Durex Elite. I'll have a look around; my, usually v cheap site, seem to be selling Durex at the same price as Superdrug etc.. And other sites I've looked at (not usually specifically searching for condoms though) seem to sell em RRPish aswell.. Especially with P+P.

Will have a browse. I do miss having sex without them though, condoms turn me off..Or rather knowing it doesn't feel as good for my BF turns me off... Urgh. Perhaps we could try...the rhythm method! Or not.

If I WERE pregnant, a pregnancy test would be coming back very positive now, right? I've just done another one, and there looks like there's a line, but it's VERY faint, and I think it might just be me imagining things or the mark where the line WOULD appear.

I'm so sick of being stuck here. I NEED a period...or at least a BFP!

If your going to be TTC then why did you need condoms?!

We're not TTC til end of next year. I'm just trying to avoid the temptation of going back on pill in between now and then and having a whinge about condoms in the meantime.

Ahh riteee!
The pill does seem to mess up loads of peoples bodies!
Fingers crossed you'll be back on track in no time
Have you thought about any other sort of contreception in the mean time?
Mind u the implant/injection is best for long term I guess

Yah, my body seemed to get on alright with this one last time though..

Thanks, hoping, hard. Yeah, we don't really want to be doing anything we can't instantly stop. Plus I've heard horrible things about the injection and I wouldn't want the implant..

I had the injection and I didnt have periods for about 10 months after finishing it so I would avoid that if I was you. Maybe the coil? I got mates last time I got free condoms havent heard of the other brand you mentioned.

I'm starting to feel pretty down about this. I've been off sex since my period was due because OH freaks out at the tiniest bit of blood and so I worry, a lot. It hurts when we do have it.

Not sure if this is something to be concerned about, but if he goes any deeper than a couple inches it gives me a horrid stabbing pain in my right hand side. I might've written this already, but it's still happening, just not QUITE as bad. It means I barely feel anything (I usually prefer deeper, sorry tmi ) and it makes me horrible and tense because it hurts sooo much, it made me feel really sick last night.
I meant to mention to Dr, but he seemed to hurry me out...

I'm just sick of being stuck here. I REALLY want my period to come, but the fact that it's not is making me want a BFP, but I'm wasting Panty liners for the period and preg tests for the...lack of period... I'm sure I'm convincing myself that there are lines there, and I'm sure they should be getting darker if they were anything. So part disappointed and part depressed that my period is still not here.

Sorry i have no advice regarding the pill issue but i was always told pain during sex should be a cause for concern ...

You should really get that checked out by either your doctor or local GUM clinic .. you could have an infection or something.

I don't have an infection, I know that. I always know when I'm getting/have an infection, the only side of my body functions that I do really recognise..

Pain seems to have eased off now. I just don't know why the heck I'm having such bad period pains and my period still hasn't shown even the slightest yet.. It's been 13 days? It's so frustrating. I'm feeling a bit more positive today; apart from my back being bloody painful from lifting my 3yo brother up because he was scared of the ghost train at the fair. Heavy little sweetheart/lump.

If your period doesnt show and you continue to get these pains you really need to go to see a doctor .. it may not be an infection but there may be an underlying issue. If anything i would do it for peace of mind .. some things left untreated or are left to develop can cause serious ttc problems in the long run.

Like i say it may be nothing hun eh and your period will turn up when it feels like it lol, but its better to be safe than sorry eh

Thanks I will def go get it checked out if it continues. I was intending to wait until my next 'period' is due, eg in a couple of weeks. If there's no sign by then I may just go in and talk to someone else about that, if the pains get worse I'll def make an appointment sooner.

The thing I was thinking about though, these pains are a bit similar to the ovulation pains I get very occasionally. I dunno whether maybe my body's getting confused and I'm having period pains whilst ovulating.. I dunno. Dr didn't seem bothered about the late period though, so I was a bit like..blah.

I think I'd be more worried if I wasn't having any period pains at all, at least my body's TRYING to start something. Everything feels like when I am on/around my period, eg lack of feeling when s-e-xing, emotional and slightly moody..not as bad as I would be norm though, I just wanna get it over and done with.

It's just getting so annoying, I don't like it when my body doesn't work properly.

You sound like you know your body really well. Before I was pregnant I barely even knew when my period was due!

That's why I want to start charting, just so I can really SEE what my body's doing! Stuff like that really interests me, and it's nice to be able to say you're working with your body and you know what's going on. I sound like a right nerd now!

 

[nightkd]

Urgh, this is the first day since I was due that I've not worn a panty liner, in the hope that sods law would make my period start!!

I just seem to be very...moist?...down there.. Keep thinking my period is starting, but Oh no! It's just more clear stuff...

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!

(Soz probably tmi)

 

[kayley_baby]

have you been to the dr?

 

[nightkd]

He didn't really give a toss. I've decided if I haven't got a period come within the next couple of weeks I'll go in again. It's getting a bit ridiculous though, I've had period pains for all 14 days, but I still don't feel like my period is imminent.
