This is an interesting place.

I do have a concern, though.

A few months ago I went on a low-dosage type of birth control. (The normal kinds made me quite loony.) Since then, the first few periods were maybe two days in length, and rather light. I greatly enjoyed that respite from my norm -- six days and heavy, plus such cramping! But last week, I think the grand total of time I spent bleeding was six hours, and that was spaced out over two days -- I bled three hours or so one day, and the same the next day.

There are little blinking lights in the back of my mind, I know. While I haven't been consciously worrying about anything, I've had a few pregnancy-related dreams in the past few weeks. I suppose it would reassure me if anyone with experience might know whether such a small period is normal.

My sweetheart has also pointed out that I've not felt well for one reason or another for the past week. I'll be tired, or have a headache, or congestion, or gas. I've had a lot of headaches, actually. Is that something which might show up while using birth control?

Thanks.

so, tonight I start the Micronor. I waited four weeks, instead of two, because I'm worried about my milk supply.... I know Micronor isn't supposed to interfere with that, but I've heard that in some women it might. I have this alarm clock in my bathroom set for 10:00 pm so I can remember to take it. *L* It's been so long!

Still suffering from lochia, though -- it's mostly pretty light. I'm upset b/c I bought these Always Pantiliners which aren't big enough to catch everything -- not flow-wise, but I guess I have a problem keeping pads in place -- this may sound weird, but the angle of my body does not correspond with the center of my panties, so I have to move the pads up higher to catch things...part of the reason I hate pads. can't use tampons, though. :(

oh, well... my baby boy is a month old today! :)
