exercising again, the pill, and a round of antibiotics.

Oh boy, it sure is fun Smile

I have a few questions though. What did you guys do to lose weight, when is the best time of day to take the pill, and did any of you have a cervical infection after having a baby? My dr doesn't know why I have an infection. In fact all she did was give me a couple of different kinds of antibiotics or something and said she hoped that cleared it up. Anyways, I now feel very nauseous from all this crap getting in my system at the same time.

Luke is doing awesome by the way Smile

Oh, and my birthday was yesterday and my husband took me out to dinner. We got to enjoy a little sex afterwards too Very
Happy The dr cleared me for it yesterday and hubby took advantage. Life is good....

FYI, your antibiotics may affect your birth control and make it less effective. USE A BACKUP METHOD of birth control!

Happy birthday!! Very
Happy

Honestly I didn't have the energy to do anything after Alyvia was born Sad I think the only reason I lost any weight at all was because I breastfed. I wish I had one of those treadmills or stationary exercise bikes... I'd tear those up!

Wak walk walk and then skating and then running. Also, breastfeeding is your friend!

You want to take it the same time every day, so if there are days that you sleep in, morning is not ideal. If you go to bed at the same time every night, then that's a possibility, but if you go out at night, you are going to have to remember to take your pills with you if you plan to stay out past your bed time. I did it at lunch, because lunch is pretty much the same time, or at least i was always awake at noon.

I don't have any experience with the cervical infectioin. That sounds really awful. You can try taking some probioitics while you are taking the antibiotics to help ease the stress on your tummy.

Just a couple of thoughts about this (yea for gettin back in the saddle!) but...
The antibioitics can make your pill ineffective.

Also, I am surprised that you are OK to have sex with a cervical infection. That seems strange to me. Again, I know nothing about them, but maybe someone else does? I will look up some info if I can find any.

Sounds like you are doing great otherwise!

I can't remeber the details of your delivery. Did they use Cytotec to help the cervix thin and ripen? Were there forceps? How many vaginal examinations did they do during your labor?

Happy Birthday!!!

I'm personaly a wimp when it comes to hormones. So, I always took my pill at night. Otherwise, it could make me slightly nauseous or give me a small headache.

I'm glad everything is going well!

Thanks so much guys! I am was thinking about taking my pill right before I go to bed. That way I can keep it by my glasses and remember to take it.

We are still using condoms even though I am on the pill. The pharmacist told me that since I just started it won't be effective for a few more weeks. I do not want to get pregnant for awhile so I am being super careful.

No, I didn't have any interventions in my labor. No medicine to get my labor going and no forceps. They only checked me 3 times because I progressed so fast. I have had my discharge look exactly like this before. It was on my honeymoon whenever I had sex for the first time and we were using the sponge as protection. I hadn't had sex before I got it this time. I m just hoping it clears up soon. It is icky Sad

I hoe topost more pics of Luke soon. He is getting so cute now.
