confession: I think I need to pee on a stick :(
hopefully just to reassure myself.
i'm still pumping ungodly amounts of boob milk, so hopefully all's fine. I thought I had a period when she was 4 mo old, but nothing big and nothing since. But we did have unprotected sex once last month and it's nagging at the back of my mind that it does still happen to some ppl. I have no idea why i'm sharing this but it keeps nagging at me and i'm a little nervous. I don't think I could handle an iud from the # of times i've read someone on here nervous. I hate a period but I think i'd pee on a million sticks if I didn't. At least w/ pill, you know whether or not you took it.

Don't worry, poas and see what shows up.
this reassures me. it's just too soon to have another kid. I'm enjoying getting to know this one. (I mean, of course we could, but I'd prefer not yet and we still don't know if we'll have 2). Also, that would pretty much be 3 pregnancies right in a row and I wouldn't mind a break. (the 2nd tri twin m/c right before) I needed to wait until it was even feasible to detect if i were. esp since i still get up every 4hrs to pump so need to do when hcg levels would be high enough anyway or i'll still fret if i pee w/ a neg test and then worry concentration wasn't high enough and then develop an obsession w/ peeing on sticks.
flat nipples.I've been pumping 6x/day (42 hrs a week) for the past 8.5 months.
I have a stash, but I think I'm about to stop pumping overall and am trying one last month to get her on the boob a bit more b/c I might not ever have the chance to do it again. When I stop pumping, I'll probably lose supply and won't be able to have her feed on anymore. (I have to use a nipple shield, and the latch isn't deep enough then to stimulate milk production).
She and I sucked at having boob time in Australia (freaking hot as hell for first month, then 2nd month we had like 14 ppl @ the house at any given time and it was insanely busy and hard to get the quiet time) and things might be over w/ that anyway as now all she wants to do is pull the shield off and play w/ it like it's a toy.
I want the stash to last til she's a yr old. I don't know that I could do this again (mentally, physically) if we do have a 2nd kid, so I'm trying to make one last attempt before I stop pumping. It's bittersweet knowing this time is nearly up, but I am excited about 6 hours freed up a day!
LOL!!!
oh yeah, forgot to say this cracked me up!
