Shan, after last month when I was 2 weeks late and a bit frantic, DH now believes I want to wait so has decided we're going to use the rhythm method... so possibly the fact that I've had no sex for a week as I should be around O-time has made all this a lot worse! In fact, when I told DH I was on my last pill packet so he needed to sort out contraception, he accused me of forcing him to have a baby: WTF? If that were the case I'd not have reminded him! Ruddy men. Anyway, I was only frantic because baby would be exactly one year younger than niece and I couldn't cope with the comparisons. Must be all the hormones or something.

I've actually had to block one person from Uni I knew from MSN messenger - he keeps asking me if I'm pregnant, despite the fact I've told him that we're not trying right now (and lied and said I was happy with that and I was enjoying the care-free life): everyone knows I used to run children's clubs to get experience and babysat quite a lot: after I got together with DH I had a few chaps (including this one!) who said they wished they were marrying me because I'd be a great mother and they wanted children right away. I just want to murder him! I've seriously thought about reaching through the computer with a knife, if only that would work. Every time he sees me on-line - like he wants to see if he can upset me! Anyway, blocked now.

Sorry to take over your thread, Peachy! But to re-iterate: Pins and lying about Pill-taking is the way to go - Jo, I completely respect the thought that we shouldn't have to, but quite frankly if men respected us more we'd respect them more and not resort to this. And I hope it gives you a giggle too, we need it sometimes!
