The implant

I got my first implant on the 30th of October (nearly 2 weeks ago) and I was due on my period 2-3 days ago and it’s not come, is this normal for the implant to stop my periods so soon? I’m not complaining if it’s stopped them but I didn’t realise it could happen so soon

It can take 6 months to regulate periods lively don’t panic. Mine delayed my first by a week then I bled for a month but only enough for a pantie liner then stopped for a week and back on for a month since then I haven’t bled for 2 months xx

ah thank goodness for that 😅 I was getting worried that I’m pregnant or something 😭🤣 but thank you so much I’m glad I’m not alone in that lol xx

Honestly if you’re worried just take a test there’s no harm in it, it’s just more likely that it’s your hormones readjusting again xx

As @emma said, if you're worried, take a test to put your mind at rest. Stress can cause irregular periods, too, so worrying about it might not be helping. Have you been on hormone based contraception before? I know it sounds random to ask, but a small percentage of women have NO periods on hormonal contraceptives, and this is completely normal.

I’ve been on the min pill (desogestrol) since I gave birth 9 and a half months ago n that didn’t agree with me as I had a heavy period every 2 weeks and gave me ibs as I was taking sertraline at the same time so this is the first proper contraception I’ve tried except for that one but I did start my new job on the 6th so that maybe why now thinking about it the stress xx

It sounds like the stress of everything is knocking your hormones out to me. I'm no doctor, but hopefully, when everything settles down for you, they will become regular again. Either that or your post partum hormones were what caused your periods, and you might be one of the lucky few who dont get them from now on🤞

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 🤣
