Hey Buds, thanks.... In fact I just got back not too long. I was actually out for 12 hrs today... Ended with meeting a group of friends who bought dinner for me and another friend as we're both getting a year older yet again ... :?: Anyone invented the time machine yet ??!!!

Anyway thanks again... You certainly made my day :celebrate:

Hey Zack,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

[ZacK]

Thanks Buds and Lengleng,


I'm probaby at the stage where I feel like I'm counting down rather than when I was in my 20s and still wishing to count up to being older :oops:

So there'll be no drinking, pubbing or confetti popping today.... Just something quiet and wif family

Oh one other advantage of the IUS is that you only have to face the cashier once, whereas condoms... wahlao, how many times do you get a male cashier at watsons?

sashimi forget to mention another benefit of \"buying\" IUD/IUS as opposed to condoms; not only do you only face the cashier once, this transaction is done in a place where people already know what you are there for and the cashier is also understanding and discreet.

Heyya schellen, i just had to dig this up.

stuff... then i remembered... :idea: Yah!

Don't worry. It was a planned pregnancy (like the first one). My Mirena was due to be replaced so we decided to take it out and let my cycle run once before trying. Doc even joked about how fertile I was when I got pregnant immediately after just 1 cycle. :roll: I was surprised too since for DD1, we took 6 months and were feeling rather demoralised since we read that young, healthy couples (back then lah) usually need up to 6 months or else may need to seek help. At my next visit, I'm gonna ask my doc how soon I can get it inserted again after delivery since I hate periods.

Okay, thanks schellen... cos i may seriously

consider it... i honestly hate rubber.

I'll ask the gynae when i go for my follow up
examination @ the hospital soon. Geez... hope
everything will be fine. We (women) hor got so
many woman-problem... :roll:

Menz lah.. ( :roll: )
Preggie lah.. ( )
Birthing lah.. (Ouch)
Birth control lah.. ( :lol: )

Almost like a lot of ailments are for women.

sashimi and I hated rubber from the very first day we used it. So we were very happy when we could forgo it when planning for DD1. After the delivery, my gynae asked me about birth control and he suggested IUCD before I finally settled on Mirena.

Don't balk at the cost. Just think of how long you can use it for and divide the cost by the no. of days/times Mirena will be useful. Remember to include the monetary and non-monetary benefits of not having periods, washing stains and buying pads for a long, long time.

DH didn't even used rubber since the first day of our marriage. That's how we got DS1 by accident :oops:. Can you imagine we practised withdrawal throughout?

Mirena is much cheaper considering the benefits. But I really hate the withdrawing and inserting of the thingy. I used to scream throughout the ordeal that the mummies outside the clinic could hear me loud and clear (they must have thot I was giving birth without anaesthetic). I really hated this part. It's so.... sensitive, imagine my gynae a male, got to sit on a tilted chair (except that the legs are on top, face bottom) with legs up wide facing gynae, and a huge light flashing on that part while he does the inserting of the mirena. It's a total nightmare for me.

But schellen, didn't your gynae told you to stay away from the act after withdrawal of the Mirena and let your womb 'rest' before getting preggy? Mine told me that I needed at least 3 months of 'rest'.

Hubs decided on rubber only after DD1 was about a few months old.
We honestly thought that we'd work on raising one well enough 1st
before getting another... plus both of us were trying to climb the
corporate ladder... To top it off, i was studying as well. Wuah, never
use rubber but practise withdrawal? Where got shiok like that...
It's like coming in warm and left out in the cold. After one nite
of aaahh... to heck with rubber... pop goes the weasel, boy! :lol:
Never play truant with Durex. Mwahahaa! :rotflmao:

Can someone share how much the Mirena is? Thanks in advance...
