Hi ladies
Thought i'd pop in and update since i'm stuck at work and that is the only place i manage to get online these days as i'm having big arguments with Sky over my broadband grrrr but nevermind ey?!
PNI is still there niggling away, but having read back a few posts from just after Violet was born i've realised how much better i actually am. Have had a fair bit to deal with the past few weeks and i know i would never have been able to cope with it back then. So although things get to me, i know i must be recovering.
Not much else to report really, work is rubbish, hate it. Am up shit creak financially but trying not to worry about that as i know i will sort myself out if i'm disciplined. Still struggling to lose weight as i keep eating crap. Have to take Violet to the doctors in a bit as she has had a cough for the past 5 weeks and the doctor keeps fobbing me off about it which is really annoying so i'm gearing myself up to kick some major medical arse.
I'm thinking of you all, thanks for your continued support. You're a bunch of lifesavers... quite literally. Love you all xxxx

It was good to catch up earlier dude. Remember, you are strong - and I am here if you need reminding of that!

Hi ladies
Just thought i'd pop in and hopefully start updating my diary again. I went to the doctor's a few weeks ago to get the pill and as i have come on today i'm due to start taking it again. Am a little anxious about it (but not in a PNI anxiety kind of way, more of an every day kind of way if that makes sense). Am worried it will make me blip but i do really want to take it, and i guess part of me is thinking, why should i let my PNI control me? So i am going to try it. I was on the pill for years before i had Violet and dont remember any horrible side effects but obviously things are very different now. Gonna try it for a month anyway and see what happens... can always try a different one if it doesnt suit me although i've gone on the same one that i was on for 8 years as it always seemed to suit me. Anyway, gonna keep track in my diary so that i can see how i feel throughout the month and then i can make a decision whether to stay on it or not.
Thinking of you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You should be able to tell really quickly if it's okay. I lost the plot a bit when I went back on it after my first and so had the coil (IUS not IUD) fitted after my second. That's great by the way. My periods stopped after 6 months. Wohoo

Ooh am thinking of the coil now too - no periods would freak me out but at the same time would be nice!
I went back on the pill too after H thinking it would be fine and it made me so sick again within days I knew it wasn't gonna work so I think you would be able to tell pretty quick.

Hi ladies
Well i spent most of yesterday completely putting it off and then ended up forgetting to take it. But i've taken the first one today and so far feel ok but then i wouldn't imagine it to kick in so soon if it was gonna make me a nutter again anyway lol. Although today i did think i'm a bit of a nutter trying such a radical experiement so close to christmas! Will more than likely spend christmas an absolute wreck! How long did it take for the effects to work out of your systems when it had a bad effect on you ladies? xxxx

Stop panicing about what the pill is going to do to you and analysing everything! If you expect it to make you feel crap, it will.
Here if you need an ear mate xxxx

Almost instantly better once I stopped taking it (about 2 days I think). It gave me terrible mood swings but not PNI feelings if that's any consolation.
How has it been?

Hi Siany
Not bad, we're on day 6 now and although i've been a bit anxious this week i've been unwell in myself and always suffer when i have a bug or something (i'm such a pansy when i'm ill!) But today i've been ok. Have felt really dizzy today, don't know if i can put that down to the pill or tiredness as i was out until 3am this morning lol.
On the whole feeling ok, so we'll see. I'll keep you all posted xxxxxxxxxxx

Hi ladies
Well, feel pretty rubbish today. Can't believe i've had to come on here on Christmas Day :-(
Have felt really anxious and pretty low in myself. Had lot of OCD thoughts, suicide OCD and feeling detached from little one, rubbish rubbish rubbish. Can i put it down to the pill? Or a blip? OR just that i'm run down, knackered and got alot of stuff going on that's bringing me down? grrrr... so hard to know. Gonna stick at it for another couple of weeks. Just keep getting an OCD that it's gonna send me nuts and i'm gonna end up suicidal for real. Grrrr.... rubbish. Anyway, Merry Christmas xxxxxxxxxxxx

Christmas is so stressful anyway that I'd be tempted to see how it goes for a few weeks - like you say, it may be lots of other things getting you down x

Hi ladies
Just thought i'd pop in and update. Well i finished my first month of the pill and am not so sure it suits my body like it did before i had little one. I have been spotting for a lot of the month and i came on before my week break (and i wasnt due on yet in my original cycle so can't even blame that).
I'm due to start taking it again on Saturday so will do that and see what happens. My mood though seems to have picked up quite alot, was quite anxious last night, internal tremours and stuff when i was trying to drop off but that could just be because i'm back at work today for the first time since before christmas.
At the moment i'm putting the anxiety over christmas down to a blip and going to carry on with the pill for another month and if i carry on spotting or come on early again then i'll go back to gp and maybe try a different one.
Oh, and just thought i'd make you all laugh. When i saw my GP last week, it was a different GP who i've not seen before about my PNI but incidentally the same GP i had while i was pregnant and has just come back off her own maternity leave. Well anyway, i explained about the anxiety etc and she sat for ages discussing options of CBT etc (which obviously i've done and got the t-shirt lol) but then she said and i quote "your anxiety must have a root cause because i've never heard of post natal anxiety". I almost laughed in her face!
Anyway, thinking of you all and i'll keep you all posted on how this month and the pill goes xxx

Def give the pill another month mate, it will take your body some adjusting..
and as for the GP - OMG! Where did she qualify? In the pub?
Hope you are ok and hope we get to catch up soon x
Love ya
WG xx
