She gave me the prescription, and said that since I wasn't breastfeeding I should get a period soon, then to follow the instructions with the pills. I was never regular when I went off the pill, so I don't want to wait a long time for it to happen. I was hoping if I start taking them, then it will help it to start again.

When my water broke I went to the hospital and was still not dilated, so they sent me home. 6 hours later I had my daughter. It can all happen really fast, and hopefully for you it does.
I know that doesn't help at all, but hopefully it can give you some hope that it will happen sooner rather than later.
good luck!

I hate this part of being pregnant. I know I'm huge, I don't need to hear it from others. The worst comment I've gotten was from my mother in law, she mentioned how swollen my feet/ankles were. I was not swollen, I'm just fat.
You look amazing though! I wish I could be a pretty pregnant lady, maybe with #3 lol

Thank you!

I would never even think to look for a site dedicated to that! haha

I'm dreading this issue already and my child is only 2 and a half. 

I feel the need to reply because I went through this not too long ago. If your daughter is self conscious then she probably already knows she's chubby and hearing it from you isn't going to help. My mom was always on some diet, so by the time I was in 6th grade I was on diets because I thought I was fat (I wasn't) My mom telling me I could lose 10 pounds didn't help matters. I think the best idea is to be active with her..my mom bought me an excercise bike for my 14th birthday (in her defense I asked for one) but looking back now it probably wasn't the best thing. Someone mentioned taking her tv and things out of her room. I would feel like my mom was punishing me for being chubby if she did that to me. Almost like if you were skinny you could have these..but you're not so I'm taking them away. If you choose to say something be veeery nice about it. My mom used to pat my tummy and make a sucking in sound...this was not helpful I assure you. hopefully you figure out the right way to go about it!!

yes, I wasn't pregnant when I tested negative. I got pregnant about 2 weeks later. I've never skipped a period before, but after I went off the pill to try to get pregnant my periods were sometimes up to a week late, which is frustrating while trying to get pregnant.

I had to fast for mine too, although if I recall correctly they never told me, and I was just lucky that I skipped breakfast that day. All in all it was horrible experience...which took place when I was only about 3 or 4 weeks before my due date..not sure what they would have made me do for the remaining month...I guess that's why i'm not a doctor.

I'm 5 months now, I havn't weighed myself in a couple days, but the last time I did I had gained 1 pound from my pre pregnancy weight. I'm pretty sure people know I'm pregnant. People will know eventually, even if you never gain a pound!

congrats!!! I also find it hard to believe until the doctor confirms..even after sometimes. Once I get an ultrasound then I finally believe it!

congratulations!!! that's so exciting!!!

Thank you!
