So I still make DH pull out </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-357285 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 23:48:06 +0000 sarac 357285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, barely used it. A little bit between 5-8 months when I had my period back AND she was sleeping like hell and the thought of another was too much. After that I'd have welcomed another pregnancy, so no more condoms. Now it's been long enough that I'm wondering if it's the breastfeeding, or if I'll need another round of clomid to have another baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-356857 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 17:42:23 +0000 cram88 356857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We aren't planning on trying again until January 2014 (though that could change either way!) so I had Nexplanon inserted 6 weeks postpartum. So far so good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-356831 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 17:20:28 +0000 winniebee 356831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! Not ready for #2 yet so I'm on hormonal birth control again (done breastfeeding). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-356823 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 17:14:07 +0000 bushelandapeck 356823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Although I want another one, I'd like t wait at least a year before we start trying. I've been on the mini pill for a few weeks now and so far it's going fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-356812 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 17:00:41 +0000 googly-eyes 356812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haven't had sex yet (took a long time to heal and almost 6w pp.) But I definitely will be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-356746 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 15:57:50 +0000 MrsBrewer 356746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are very diligent right now. Well I should say, DH is very diligent right now. I am on the pill (I will admit that I do forget a pill every once and awhile though) but DH also always pulls out. </p> <p>We aren't TTC yet, and are no where financially ready! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-356741 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 15:55:28 +0000 MsMini 356741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are insane about it, we are planning on 2 more, but will not be ready to even NTNP until I have been back at work for a while (Canadian - 6 months more mat leave before I go back to work). </p> <p>I EBF, and use the mini pill, and we use condoms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-356731 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 15:49:57 +0000 Mrs. Train 356731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a tubal ligation so no more babies from this body. </p> <p>My husband still worries that we will be that .01% that has a tube grow back. If I say I'm not feeling good he looks at me like he is about to have a heart attack and asks if I am pregnant. I always try to reassure him that it won't happen but he still worries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-356725 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 15:44:19 +0000 MamaMoose 356725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were just talking about this last night. I was planning on getting an IUD shortly after delivery. But hubs isn't really psyched with that idea. He worries about it causing issues for me. He said he's fine with condoms. So I guess we'll see. But we definitely want at least 2 years and probably 3 between our kids so there will be no sexy time without protection. Once we do have our second hubs will get a snip snip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-356710 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 15:37:13 +0000 lemondrop 356710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I'm on the mini pill, but haven't been great about taking it on time lately (no ill effects from it at all, milk production is just fine). </p> <p>We just decided this morning to pull the goalie next month and NTNT for #2. No AF yet and LO is 9 months and still breastfeeding, but since it took 10 months to get pregnant last time we will be happy anytime for the next LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-355295 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 06:44:03 +0000 bpcmarj 355295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We cannot have abother right now. We are using spermicidal condoms for that one extra level of protection. I think I would be OK with getting pregnant (though not thrilled) and I think DH wouls literally have a heart attack from the stress! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-355263 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 05:13:13 +0000 Andrea 355263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Will be after this. We CANNOT have 3 kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-354436 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:32:35 +0000 autumnlove 354436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Nskillet: I think DH sucks at it unless he was secretly trying to get me pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-354427 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:29:04 +0000 Springtime 354427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No not really! Ive never been on BC We used pull out method for 3 years before getting pregnant and sometimes he would even go inside me (I use a period tracker and always know when I'm fertile, expecting period etc, fancy know!) But it always worked. Currently 6 months pp and we still haven't been careful, that's why I think I may be pregnant again! We always knew we wanted our babies closer together than far apart. And I'd much rather have the babies, go thru baby stage all at once! And then be done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-354418 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:24:50 +0000 Foodnerd81 354418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Nskillet: I don't know how the dads were at it-- I'm close enough to them to know that they were using pull out when it happened, but not close enough to ask more questions :) I used it just fine for 4 months, including on days I knew I was fertile-- on those days I just said to be extra careful, but we were planning to TTC in a couple of months anyway. And 4 months is a very small sample. At least one of the dads, though, I'd be willing to bet money they weren't being THAT careful with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-354416 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:23:58 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 354416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were SUPER DUPER VIGILANT about protection after our first baby! I didn't do the mini pill because I know too many women who had accidental pregnancies while on it, so we stuck with condoms until we were ready to try again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-354411 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:22:35 +0000 DpeachLu 354411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well... we werent. After this baby I plan on getting Mirena &amp; then prob going back to get my tubes tide around 5 years or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-354406 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:19:47 +0000 blackbird 354406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will be going right on the low dose pill as soon as this baby's out (which is safe while BF). I think we'll wait about a year, year and a half before ttc for #2.</p> <p>A girlfriend of mine used the Withdrawal method for about 5 years before having her two surprise babies :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-354357 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:02:14 +0000 Nskillet 354357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really on the Withdrawal babies? Was Dad bad at it? We used it as our exclusive BC for 4 years and no whoops. DD only came once planned.</p> <p>We only pull now too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-354348 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:58:09 +0000 pinkcupcake 354348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Hehehe pull out baby! I like that :)</p> <p>I am SUPER DUPER diligent. We definitely want at least one more, but not for a couple years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-354339 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:53:54 +0000 mamabolt 354339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, that's why I got a Mirena stat! I am not doing pregnancy again any time soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-354335 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:52:20 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 354335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope, not at all.</p> <p>Sometimes we pull and pray, sometimes we use a condom, and sometimes we use nothing at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-354330 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:48:34 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 354330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at the moment, but as soon as LO 2 is born we will be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-354325 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:46:00 +0000 T-Mom 354325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. just not ready to take that chance!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-354300 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:38:12 +0000 heffalump 354300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're not done, but we're not TTC yet. I'm on birth control though so no worries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-354220 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:14:04 +0000 sorrycharlie 354220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I heard that BC can affect your supply (even the mini pill) so I'm really nervous about that. I do not want an IUD - so I'm thinking we're doing condoms and avoiding during certain days to be safe!</p> <p>we (likely) want another but no time soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-354217 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:12:59 +0000 Foodnerd81 354217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I was literally just thinking, Why not just pull out? Then I read that, and remembered all the adorable little withdrawal babies I know. I actually don't know anyone who got pregnant from a broken or improperly used condom, but at least 3 pull out babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-354216 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:12:57 +0000 chopsuey 354216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will be once the baby arrives! We're done after this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-super-diligent-about-protection-now#post-354214 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:12:27 +0000 Mrs. Pen 354214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: hahaha!!</p> <p>yeah I am. Cobi wasn't an oops but I'm not ready for another one lol so we always always use protection. </p> <p>However I know we would be thrilled ot have another one - but I know we couldn't afford a three bedroom apt/house soooo that would be rough. </p>
