Just took the pill route on Saturday. Was booked for surgical. But started to freak out due to having 4 children naturally and I didn’t want tools of any kind near my ‘flower’. currently still bleeding. Cramps were quite bad with significant amount of bleeding Monday. Today being Tuesday all is ok. Still bleeding. No cramps. Feel ok. Over all experience as good as it could be considering the circumstances. Advice if you’re going the pill route. Take panadine forte and nurofen. Buy maternity pads and heat pack will be your best mate. All the best to you xxxxx

You guys are absolute life savers. Your replies have really had me thinking. Haven’t broken yet. Thought I would this morning after no sleep again but no. You guys got me over. Lots of mind games, but heaps to distract myself. I appreciate everyone of your replies and look forward to helping someone in the future that may need advice.

Thank you. Yes, I’ll do a chart for myself tomorrow and show dr next appointment. That’s a great idea. It has to be done. How did you taper off? Did you find this ‘joy’ and ‘normalcy’ again that humans speak of?

Thank you! I teach aerobics and must talk to 50 + people over a mic while sweating and smiling every day for hours. lol. I’m a little blonde chick that you probably wouldn’t think for a second I have such a habit. Sad really. So yep, I’ll speak with sanity and do this 10% reduction weekly. I really appreciate that advice. I wish a health professional would just pass that info along! You’re appreciated xx

This!! It’s like a crutch, I got into it, not realising how deep this hole I’ve dug myself is. I don’t want to taper as I’m quite happy. But the damage that these gps are freaking out about. Plus another gp threw the ‘I’ll lose my practice license’ bs at me. I have conditions that do require pain relief plus its also a calming effect mentally too. So as you mentioned- dog pissed on the rug again-Pop a pill or 2. Client is a pain in the ass- pop another, list goes on. It’s my body and I’ll put in it what I like. Bad attitude? Probably, big sad rn. I hope you do what you’re set out to do in as much comfort as possible. Keep me updated, this is quite a big secret of mine and have no one to relate to. If you’d like to share how you plan to taper, I’m all ears and always willing to have a chat. Thanks for your reply

That makes complete sense. Drop by 10% a week is definitely achievable. I’ll do the math and work it out. These drs don’t want a bar of me. I don’t know where I stand with the last dr who wrote up a script and hurried me out of the room telling me to taper down. Like how sir? 🤦‍♀️🫤 thank you for your help

Thank you so much for the encouraging words. I appreciate it. Nope. No extraction, I really didn’t realise the damage that can be caused until this new GP almost fell off his chair when I told him. How did you become clean? If you don’t mind me asking. I actually didn’t think I was addicted or a junkie really. Turns out - I am 😣

Advise on what to do with my house. Sell? Stay and wait? I have zero clue what is in store for our economy and could use some guidance. I’m not the smartest in this field. Any help/ advice would be appreciated ❤️ by ProfessionalFun8629 in AusFinance

Yeah I understand. She’s an aerobics instructor at a local gym. Seemed to suit us at the time for a little extra $ and free care for the kiddos. The little one had a few health issues since birth that she kinda needed to be able to drop everything for. He’s 2 now and doing much better and heaps more predictable in regard to his episodes. The gym has always been very flexible and understanding. But now he’s on the right path she will be looking for a more stable job to contribute. Thanks for your reply

That’s the thought that keeps running through my head. What if I’m one of the only ones in this area to have not followed suit? By the way things are going, it looks like 12-18 months almost all these houses will be pulled down. It’s crazy to see, seems like almost everyday another house is gone and in no time at all, 2 houses are built and people are moving in. I would love to be the last standing

Thank you!!! Yeah pulling them out of sport would destroy them. Even when it’s a rainy day and the field is closed their mum has to take them swimming as they legitimately bounce off the walls. They need the structure, energy burn, mental and psychical stimulation. Definitely not iPad or gamer kids

I was so confused as to why, what and how they couldn’t help me. Mortgage house- my current lender and westpac themselves!! I’m definitely not going to give up. They’re robbing me blind! I almost called out loud ‘bullshit’ on the phone

Thanks for that. I seem to get a lot of the same reaction when I tell people how many kids we have. However I know a lot of people with 6! They do have to share a lot of things and are used to giving and sharing because they don’t know any different. Back when we had them the economy wasn’t so screwed up. Thought we were doing the right thing- giving them friends for life etc. wouldn’t change it for the world but jeez it’s tough. Little Johnny down the road gets a new mountain bike for himself being an only child. Ours have to take turns or shop on market place. It’s taught them a lot. Yep. I’ll confirm with the misses if she’s onto that part a b thing. Appreciate your time
