IUD is an intrauterine device - something they insert into your uterus, somehow stops you getting pg. Yes I am very technical about it I think it either thins the lining of the uterus and prevents the egg from implanting or something similar, not too sure.

But it must be safe to use while BF - my nephew is only 4mths and still fully BF day and night. She's getting it in this week. Downside is you need to see a Gynae to have it put in I think - so not sure about cost involved.

But once it is in, it will provide protection for a number of years - in my sister's case it is 5 yrs. So that's pretty cool.

Hope you sort this all out...

Try not to stress. When AF came back for me she was 6 - 8 weeks apart for ages. I did not have a single 28 - 30 day cycle before concieving this bub.
6 - 8 weeks, then suddenly 3 weeks, then 2 weeks apart for a few months before my bfp. Was just waiting to get in to see a doc when this suprise happened!
Goodluck with your hpt

ETA - Mirena is an IUD. A few people are using it, or have. I'm pretty sure your gp can put it in.

Hehe you made me laugh....

Don't worry i was tempted to go for a drive today, funny thing is where we have moved is kinda a smallish town, i always seem to get the same ppl on register and a few of them know us as 'the new ppl in that house', 1 always comments on how gorgeous the girls are but how close together in age.. my god the whole town would know the new ppl are crazy and going for a 3rd..

i really hope its just your body adjusting after the birth of z.
i had the mirena put in jan 2009 and got it out 11 months later to ttc and i wish i had it back in!!! before it i had continous bleeding for 4 months straight and other probs and it made a hell of a difference.
if you have any questions pm me.
i think if you aren't planning on adding to your family its great as it is meant to last 5 years.
best of luck huni and hugs xox

Ah yes, the joys of small towns!!!! If I was heading your way this weekend, I'd drop one in to you!

But I think Briggsy's Girl is right - AF can be all over the place when it first comes back. Hope you're okay ZF.

I never thought i would be happy to say it but i got AF today!

Mind you she had to arrive 30min AFTER i had gone and bought a 3pk of HPT's....

Thanks so much everyone for your support, DP and i will be having a discussion about his 'lil friend' wearing a rain coat i think, i can't go through this stress every month, i might also book into a GP and check what the best options are for me while BFIng.

Your all wonderful
