I'm still in shock about PEAS - damn it, I suppose it was a good job i used up our freezer supply on my dodgy knee last night then :roll: :lol:
Ooo yes you are talking about "retrograde bleeding" I am still unconvinced that tampons are the cause as this is also very much an endometriosis problem (as that is what I have). My consultant certainly hasn't mentioned this to be a cause or that I should stop using them as it wouldn't make a difference.
The books I have read have also suggested they could not help but there is no direct evidence to suggest.
So many women out there have got pregnant and still used them I can't believe that it would be that much of a problem - I guess I could say then same about eating peas too!!
I have done so many things over the last 4 years to "help" giving up things, changing my diet, exercise (appropriate for trying) no alcohol or caffiene and I am still not pregnant... I know what is wrong (the Endo) and I am still sensible but I have gone beyond not enjoying my life by cutting out things I enjoy as it still hasn't worked anyway :roll: So I enjoy the occasionaly glass of wine, my cup of tea, carried on running and eating the things I want to eat as it makes me happy and I think being happy is more improtant in a successful pregnancy.
Sorry that turned into a bit of a rant, I didn't mean it too
