How does “nexplanon” work

I’ve never had nexplanon before and I will be getting it soon. How does it work ? Do you get your period? Would you be able to have sex and not get pregnant if you let your man finish inside you? I’m only 18 I’m curious so I know what I can do to avoid having another baby for a while

I had Nexplanon in my left arm for 5-6 years straight. I think it’s only “certified” for 3 years but doctors tell you that there’s been studies that say it could last longer. I was just lazy and never had it removed. As far as my period I had a normal period for about a year and some change. Then about 2 or 3 years in I didn’t have a period at all for a whole year and it slowly started coming back. Every three months, then every two months to every month. I know other people who have an Nexplanon and that’s not exactly how it’s worked for them. Some people had their period the whole experience. Some people didn’t have a period for a couple of years. As far as the whole where your man finishes… I had 3 partners during my time with Nexplanon. All would finish inside and I never even had a pregnancy scare. Now that’s not to say that someone else could be different. Technically Nexplanon stops ovulation so there’s not even an egg to be fertilized. In theory, you should never get pregnan.

Mama needs new friends ✨

Hey mamas 🤍 I'm going to be honest — I'm at a season in my life where I'm craving real, genuine friendship. The kind where we actually check on each other. Where conversations go both ways. Where we can laugh, vent, cry, and just *be* without it feeling one-sided.

I'm a stay at home mom of 6 (yes, 6! 👏🏼) and my days are full but my cup feels a little empty in the friendship department. I'm looking for women who get it — the chaos, the beauty, the exhaustion, all of it.

If you're a mom who values deep, reciprocal friendship and you're also out here looking for your people — drop a 👋 below. Let's actually get to know each other. 🤍

Leaving your baby

Has anyone else not left their baby to be looked after by someone else (not dad) yet? I still don't feel ready but am being told I should be by now

Random but when you use a vibrator do you need to hold your lips open for it to touch the bean ?

It gets annoying because even if I open my legs I still need to hold the lips open to touch the bean and I have to do it the entire time my lips are literally sealed closed 🤣
