I’ve never had regular periods in my life.

Before the birth of my daughter, I was on the pill and I’d get a day or so of spotting. Sometimes I’d have nothing but I wouldn’t worry about it. I chalked it up to the pill reducing my flow so much I didn’t bleed.

I probably only tested for pregnancy once every 6 months.

Now my daughter has been born and I’ve switched to the rod. My last period was 3 months ago. And another 3 months before that.

Now I know what babies kicking feels like so I panic at every bubble of gas. I have a mummy tummy and I panic that if I look pregnant, I must be pregnant. I’m testing every 2 months now. 3 at best.
