Pill to alter cycle for TTC & Nervous about being pg in Mt Isa

[CharlieBrownGirl]

LimeSlice,
My friend was at the Isa for some time whilst her husband worked at the mines. She made some great friends whilst there and now she has moved on she often talks about going back. It might take a little adjustment but it's a great community.
Re: cancer concerns, the mines paid for blood tests to make sure there was nothing to worry about.
As for adjusting your cycles, have a look at menstration.com, there is a discussion how the moon cycles can change your cycle. It can take up to two months though. When I tried skipping AF and took a pill (can't remember the name) it didn't work, AF still arrived.

I can email you the moon cycle info if your interested. Pm for details.

Hi Limeslice - I can feel your pain a little bit - my hubbie is FIFO as well - 2 on, 1 off, so only every second time he is home I will be ovulating - the imbetween times I most likely will have the AF, which cuts down how quickly I get pregnant (which is why I am hoping for pregnancy this first cycle, cause I won't be ovulating next time DH is home).

With your cycles, taking the pill and changing the timing of your cycle is the only way I can think of doing it - I can't think of any other drugs that would effect the timing of your cycle like - well, ones that doctors will agree to prescribe you without feritility problems.

With the lead thing in Mount Isa - Limeslice you're a Perth girl like me, no? Do you remember about 10 or so years ago when a waste disposal site in Forrestdale got into trouble, because they were right near a primary school and lots of kids got sick from the high lead levels? My sister was one of the kids at that school, and she's not much of a "play in the dirt" kind of kid, more nerdy than that. She had only been at the school for a few months and her lead levels were through the roof. I suppose you guys are going to have to choose - health, or more money. Lead is not good for you, it can effect you in so many ways....and not jsut your daughter, you as well!! It acts on all your organs, and it can affect your fertility as well!
