I just realised that I did go off Alesse for nearly 2 years when I was in the UK and was on a different one because they don't have Alesse there.. so I have been back on it for about 20 months.. Either way, it is a long time on this pill.
My "friend" just seemed to arrive and seems pretty mad that it's late so hoorah... 
Thanks again Ashley!

Glad to hear you are all sorted out. Not that not having your period is a bad thing. I'm on the Mirina iud as the pill and I don't get along. I don't get a period at all, for five years. Unless you are wanting kids, it is not necessary to have a period every month. My obgyn is great and he recommended the Mirina after my ectopic as now Thomas and I can't have kids naturally and didn't plan on them anyways!

Hi there,
That's great that you found something when the pill and you didn't have a good relationship.
I don't know yet how I feel about kids - I know from my terrified reaction when my period was 4 days late and I had to take a preg test that I really don't want one right now!
If someone has an IUD and wants kids later on, is that possible or is it a one shot deal?
Just curious!

Hey Lyndsey!
That is really strange that your period snuck up on you like that... what did the doctor say? Shouldn't the depo shot stop it completely?
How bizarre..
Well, mine showed up and now I am suffering for it, stupid thing. Luckily I have today off (I usually work Saturdays) as someone needed to swap a shift and so I can just lie and sulk in my own company rather than being nasty to everyone at work, hee hee.
Unfortunately, it's like 35 degrees here today and I am boiling so I am lucky to be living in this basement suite. Soon we move to a top floor apartment, I am going to DIE!

Haha, yeah, that's like my body too. Well, hopefully you should get through this one and then not have it come around anymore?
Oh yean, it's celcius here... um, lemme see what that is in F.. looks like it is about 95 degrees. That's really hot for Vancouver, we rarely get weather like this.. We get like one heat wave every year and my stomach hates it.
I have been alright... pretty stressed lately with the moving and everything. Having a pretty bad time with anxiety and stuff, but I finally have a GI doc appointment this Thursday and I am not going to let her just hurry me out of the office and not talk to me like the last one did!
How about you? How's the new baby? And your other little one? How is married life treating you?
I guess you are on mat leave at the moment?

You can have your iud taken out anytime you want to start having kids, they say the effects are the same as the pill. It may take a while for you cycles to become regular again, but there is little to no side affects that will affect your pregnancies. Best to ask your dr. but some iuds are from 2 to 5 year plans. You can find what works for you - the pill, the patch, the iud etc.
