A little whinge.....

There's a bit of a photo entry back one if anyone is interested. Of our kidlets enjoying a summer picnic and playing with water.

However, I feel like poo.

I want to try something different to the contraceptive injection.

For the first few days afterwards, life is a bit of a struggle:

I don't stop eating so I pile on the weight fast.
My self esteem drops.
My Patience diminishes.
I am short tempered, tired, stressed.
I am super emotional.

It's like a cross between the early stages of pregnancy and mega-bad PMT!

It's not something I am enjoying at the moment. At least being pregnant is something I've always loved with something beatiful to treasure at the end of the journey.

This is the worst of both worlds. I get the weight gain, the ups and downs and it STOPS me having babies. It's a lose lose situation. That all said, more babies aren't on the agenda here. Whilst I do get broody like everyone else, I would rather see people who have been trying for some time get some baby happiness and experience family life themselves.

I just need to find a new contraceptive that doesn't have these side effects.

On the plus side, it's one jab every 3 months and I can rest assured that all is covered and I don't get any monthly visitors so it's not all bad.
