number 2 is going to get real!

Okay the title is a little misleading. We are not having baby no. 2 yet, but I just want to share how we keep it under the radar. The not being pregnant while I am still doing PhD thing, I mean. I know, I know. Most people I met told me they do it naturally. But for some people like me who had irregular periods and just simply can't calculate the days, I have to opt for other intervention. I couldn't take pills because I know I am not that discipline to pop it at the exact time everyday. I had to pass on the implant because it was way too expensive, and it only lasted for 2 years. So I am more inclined towards the IUD. It costed us RM80 for the whole thing including insertion at a local LPPKN (I had the paraGuard, which is a copper IUD) and it will last for 5 years! I had it since September 2014 and all I can say is that I love it! I had a very bad cramps for the first couple of months when I had it in, but they are just temporary. But do talk to your doctor about options. It may not be for everyone, but so far I had no problems with it. I had the IUD removed for almost 2 months now, and we are hoping for the best! Amin :)))
