Hi there

I needed to ring my ob/gyn today about a problem I'm having with my current birth control and he started giving me some advice on what I might be able to do to find a solution, one of which involved taking an oestrogen pill. I then told him I was still bfing, so he looked it up and sure enough I can't take it. So I'm off for an u/s to check out what's going on and work things out.

But it just got me thinking... What a shame that I have to point it out and it isn't the accepted norm to ask if you're still bfing, once your baby is over 12 months. (Not that there was even the slightest negative tone or comment after I did, but YKWIM). What a shame it's so out of the ordinary that no one even thinks to ask. I'm so used to it I almost forget to point it out!

I wish there were more of us...
