thanks girls for the advice

nothing2lose: thanks my dr said to keep using them until 10 weeks if i get pregnant, although im hoping to convince her to let me do it a bit longer than that as i have had a 9 week m/c in the past

kimmi: thanks for the tip, i'll wear a liner

bugsmum: interesting with the thrush, i'd say that will mean i get it to because it doesn't take much for me to get thrush, i'll keep your alternative suggestion in mind if i must lol
