i got my period yesterday. this is my first cycle after my d&c. i must admit that before this, i thought that i could have been pregnant. it was driving me crazy because i was waiting & waiting for my cycle to start!
b & i only had unprotected sex once after the d&c. it was on the spur of the moment & we were so damn horny! (we abstained from sex when i was pregnant because of the bleeding i had & it was all so touch and go). of course we stopped buying condoms the moment we decided to start trying after my first pregnancy & there were none in sight at that moment. my kind considerate friend p, once she heard we had unprotected sex, gave me a condom there & then (surprising me that she carries condoms!) ; ) anyway, we have stocked up since.
i have completely forgotten how my menstrual cycle was. oh the memories are all flooding back: the cramps (not pleasant at all), the tiredness (i wanna sleep through the day) & the mood swings (in the extremes - & poor b gets the brunt of it). i think i wouldn't mind being pregnant forever if this means that i will stop getting my period!
oh well, that's a woman's life. we go through our periods monthly AND we have to go through pregnancy & childbirth. it seems men have it easy.
anyway, my doc says to wait for two menstrual cycles to be over before trying again. well, this is the first one (besides we should at least use the condoms we bought)
