    Re: Birth Control

    Hi Anitha,

    Congrats on the LO.

    We need to bf every 3 hours (full time) for it to act as effective contraception. Even while doing so , you need to be very careful around 6 months postpartum as you might start ovulating around this time. As you want to space your children, it is better to chose one of the contraception options. My doctor suggested the mini-pill to me. But they are most effective when you take them at the same time everyday.

    regards,

    yes, i too feel pills are very bad for our body. especially for long terms. there is definitely lot of side effects and negatives in pills. eg: depression, hormone changes, weight gain, headaches, affects fertility, anxiety, irregular periods, skin problems, acne, etc etc etc to name a few!!

    my experience and suggestion - use IUI. im using multiload for 3 yrs. its super cool and no issues at all. my sister too used the same and faced no issues. it also does not affect fertility. so go for it without tension :).

    about heavy bleeding - yes, it might happen. but whats the harm?? its good that the dirt from body is washed out. and it will also help in reducing weight ;). so go for IUI anyday!!

    Hi coolgirl,
    if you are breastfeeding you shouldn't take any oral contraceptive pills as they pass through breast milk. go to your gynec for advice. she'll tell you what to do.

    Coollife,
    If you are nursing, you need to have estrogen harmonal pills ratherthan regular contraceptive pills. Check with your gynic. These pills can be used for shortterm purpose, but for longterm go for Copper T.

    Physical relation with DH after baby birth

    My baby is now almost 10 months old but my own feelings regarding lovemaking are nonexistant. I will try and say what I want to say as civilly as possible.. please bear with me..
    My relationship with Dh has always been good.. and we considered ourselves better than average in terms of lovemaking among couples. There were no complains on either side and we were nothing if not adventorous...But things have changed for the worse now.. my husband is still the same.. so i cant blame him... but i have changed.. even pregnancy period was good to us.. but after the birth of my baby i just dont fell the urge any more.. i am like a ice queen with no intention of starting or continuiing with lovemaking.. like the steriotypical wife i give all sorts of excuse when the time comes.. my husband waits patiently till weekend ( before we never had to wait for a day) but yet i can bring myself to get going and staring something... i feel so dead inside when the time comes to swtich of the lights...please tell me what to do.. my husband has been very patient given the circumstances of what he was used to and what he was seeing now... its been 10 months since delivery so i cant even say that i am probably getting over from having a baby...

    Can this be a medical reason... like hormonal changes.. then what do i do about it?? pleas help me out...i want to resume normal conjugal life...

    It cant be that i am tired.. i have all the help i need to look after the baby,, a cook to cook meals and a work from home job which gives me enough time to rest.... what is wrong with me...:drowning

    Re: Physical relation with DH after baby birth

    Dear Lost Soul,
    A baby does more that just creating physical rift between husband and wife.the baby emotionally consumes the parents and physically deprives them(read moms most of the times) of all energy which leaves them with little or no interest for sex.However, you have mentioned that you have enough help at hand to look after your LO.So what could be the problem?Do you think you have become physically unattractive for your DH?Start an exercise routine that boosts your metabolism and stamina.Start to spend more time with your DH when the maid is around to take care of the kid.Try an outing(may sound almost impossible) like a dinner date , just the two of you,or just spend some quality time together when the baby sleeps.do all this without consiously thinking about sex.Its very important for you and your hubby to realise that you are human beings with primal needs, just not parents.In our case, during the first year of our first child, we would get guilty for the first few times when DS would wake up in the middle of our love making session.However, we thankfully got over the phase.Remember that your DH needs to be pampered too.Try and talk out the problem to him .See if he can understand your situation and both of you can gradually work on this.take care.

    Dear Lost Soul,

    You can try out various things that can probably get u in the mood for being intimate with DH, something like using few drops of aroma therapy oil in ur bath water can soothe u and might get u in the mood.
    I some times feel sex is not all that important.You just try lying in each others arms feeling each other, dont worry if u can make it through or not.
    I am sure this will work.

    Re: Physical relation with DH after baby birth

    In my opinion IC should happen 1-2 times per week.. anything more than that will cause decrease in interest.. itz my personal opinion..

    also there is nothing wrong in not doing.. you have a kid now.. it takes time to gear up.. let days pass.. more attention will be on baby these days and its all obsolutely normal I feel..

    Birth Control Pills

    Ladies,

    Will periods get regular post delivery? Becoz, mine got regularised >delivery.
    Before delivery I rarely got periods. Once after coming to NY I didnt get my periods for >3months and got -ve results also.

    Currently, my GYN suggested ''Loestrin 24 Fe'' tab to take it daily w/o fail. Will this help me not to get preg??

    Few questions:

    1. Will it prevent preg?
    2. Will it affect my future preg?
    3. Any side effects?
    4. Will it put on wt?

    Just want to know this so that I can decide whether to take this or think about other control options.
