just entering the hut today...probably wont start heavy until thursday or so, but the cramps are here, and i dont mind one bit. i hate being so psycho paranoid about being pregnant, even when my cycles page tells me im not late, i had a 100 zits, used protection, and only had sex 3 or 4 times. as soon as i stopped stressing, it started coming, strange huh? my entire pelvic area hurts...thank god! :)

ps. ive told my bf that i no longer want to have sex, at least until we decide to have children. is that too extreme?

I don't think that's extreme at all. Part of having sex is accepting the fact that you may get pregnant, no matter what (AND taking steps to prevent it from happening!). You have to know how you would deal with it and what would happen.

However, it's very, very mature of you to decide not to have sex anymore if you're not ready. Kudos for standing up for yourself.

I should note that you shouldn't place the 'until we want children' restriction on yourself. What if you two break up and never have children? It may sound a little... hasty to some guys ;> What if you feel ready to accept the possible consequences before you're planning on having children? I think it should be reworded to 'no more sex until I'm ready', but that's just semantics ;P
