For me I had it removed 2nd sept 2010 and have had only 4 periods since
Ugh ugh ugh. That sounds *extremely* frustrating... maddening really. I'm sorry you've gone through this.
On an entirely different (and more pleasant I hope!) note... how is wedding planning coming along?
Brilliently!!! Our local landlady found out about our wedding and offered to do the whole reception for less then £500!!! including all food, kids table, and decorating the room the night before!!

Calasen, sorry about that. That sounds like a dream to most women not ttc, but extremely frustrating for those trying.
Oh, I wanted to tell you. Guess what my daughter wants for her bday? a rat! LOL! she's fascinated by them. Are they really hard to keep maintained and what is their average life span? Are they gentle? Thanks.
Rats are fantastic pets and are as sweet natured as anything, but make sure you get from local breeder, but one that breeds for temperament
They have to be kept in at least 2's though as they are very social
, also need quite a large cage area with lots to do, like a specially designed rat wheel and hammocks and gnaws
Also a lot of pet shops try to sell you on sawdust for rats which is extremely bad for them
they need cardboard or newspaper ideally but dust free especially. Depending on what type of pet your daughter wants though depends on boys or girls
Boys are more loving but very lazy and laid back, girls are adventurous and active but more independent
Average life span is 2 years but some can live longer, they need spot cleaning once a day, full cage clean once a week. fresh food and water daily and a well maintained temperature, they dont like it too hot and like a cool room. They can be prone to respiratory conditions though and girls especially are prone to lumps and tumours, most these can be removed by a good vet though and not a issue. The cage should be very thick plastic and solid bottomed with not too much space between bars (babies and girls can squeeze through if too wide). The Ferplast Jenny cage or the Furet XL cage are perfect as a starter cage for 2-4 rats.
With Californian I think you have to check local laws as to if you can keep a pet rat but if so then contacting the American Fancy Rat association should help you find a suitable breeder
I highly advocate pet rats!!!
We have 12 at the moment, but have had 21 at once, they are highly addictive with their little noses!
It's like having toddlers that can't back chat (although they try
) They can be fully toilet trained and clicker trained.
Highly recommend neutered boys as a first rat group as they are calmer and more forgiving, also less prone to illness.
Congrats mommy2be1003!
if my temp drops indicating ovulation regardless of what day that happens on. Seems a crappy way to do it - hi honey, I'm home, have sex with me, okay thanks, cya! - but I don't want to miss a whole cycle because of a business trip! lol
