hiya

i have a found a long thread about this but thought i would start my own , at last i know i am not alone.

I have suffered from this since last yr.

I know why and what caused it just not how to sort it :(

I have been pregnant 3 times but only have one child. my first died age 6 dyas, my seconded died between 9 and 10 weeks of pregnacy and my daughter has a prob with her brain. i knew i could get throu my last pregnacy althou it took a awful lot out of me emotionaly and mentally. i had pains and bleeding and was treated for a mmc with mydaughter but she made it to term and is now fine (as far as we can tell) since she was born i have had athis intnese fear of becoming pg and labour to the point me and my other dont have sex. it has not effected our relationship as he is very understanding.

recently though i have had the feelings but when it come to the acutal sex i just cant
i am on the combind pill,
we have talked to gp about the snip but he says we are to young, i wnat give me the injection and i dont fancy the coil.

anyone help?

Dear Flos,
I'm sorry that you have been through so much. I can certianly understand why you feel so frightened about getting pregnant again. Have you had a good discussion with a family planning nurse - they may have some suggestions.

I have just had a coil put in and have had one before apart from the fact it is an uncomfortable procedure it worked very well for me, hence having another. I was actually very squeemish about it and couldn't look at the demonstartion model - I thought I might pass out!!. The family planning clinic probably know a lot more about various methods and reliability.


I wish you all the best

Let us know how you get on
