Copper IUD spotting

Hi guys,
Anyone else have the copper IUD Paraguard? I have PCOS so I opted for no hormones. I’m 8 weeks PP. I already had my first period about 2 weeks ago but I keep spotting and it’s so annoying! I have to wear a pad or panty liner like every other day because of it. Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it last?

Keep a record of it and make a drs appointment. I had bleeding that got heavy and turned out that my iud migrated out of my uterus into my abdomen. It caused a lot of pain and I had to have it surgically removed

I had the copper IUD after my last pregnancy. I experienced the same thing. Couldn't tell a lot of the time if it was a light period or spotting. I tried the IUD for over a year and it was making my period worse pain wise. I eventually got it removed and haven't had any of those symptoms since. Could have been that i/you are only 8 weeks pp. Thinking as my body healed I had less spring but it was still painful and not a good fit. Was told spotting is normal. If it continues definitely would be worth getting checked out. They can shift and cause serious issues internally. Mine was fine and I was still spotting a decent amount. Mine lasted until u got it out but slowed a bit over time. Hope that helps!!

I opted for the pill injection ( one injection every 12 weeks protected straight away) after the first one or two your periods stop i cant say it would be the same for PCOS but ive heard so many horror stories about the coil

There are definitely a lot with horror stories. It's about finding the right one for you. Was on the patch most of my life, switched to the copper iud as I was on medication that made hormonal birth control barely work but my body hated it! In between that and new birth control a baby happened lol 😆 definitely worth giving a few a try to find the right fit but so hard to choose with so many horror stories out there!

I had the copper after my daughter’s birth almost 9 years ago I felt a lot of pain discomfort during sex and spotting. It just wasn’t worth it for me. Took me a while to conceive after removing it; I’m oncvinced it was put in wrong as I was fitted by junior student doctor and didn’t know till I walked into the app. Please listen to your Boyd and congrats on baby xx

I'd keep an eye out. I've had the paragard for two years no problems.

C - section

Hello lovelies, I’m getting closer to my date of c section.

Can I ask how it all went for you? I felt prepared and now I have this awful feeling what if I bleed out! I’m sure that’s not the case. But I just wondered how it went, and how the aftermath was. I have seen on social media people say it’s horrendous but then I speak to friends and family and they’re like yeah it’s not easy but you can cope! You can walk, etc. I think it’s the unknown… lol!

Also were you all sick during your procedure and did you all get terrible trapped gas? If so what tips do you have xx

Best way to be induced??

I just found out I may need to be induced early due to preeclampsia and having a generally bigger baby which of the ways to be induced do y’all recommended?

This is a bit strange.. but hear me out

I am 36 weeks and 4 days today.
I had that feeling, you know when you are trying to take a tampon out on your end of period and it kind of hurts because the tampon is dry? I had that sensation today?

Now I feel like I have to push something about my vagina? It kinda tickles but uncomfortable. I’m not having any pains at all anywhere btw so can’t be baby ??

cheating dream

i need advice but PLS DON'T JUDGE!!!
last night i had a dream, i always used to dream my partner cheating on me with my friends, or being super mean, but since we had our baby those dreams disappeared. for context, we haven't been able to have sex yet, I'm 12 weeks pp, and my pelvic floor is so tense, and it's awful.
last night i had a VERY weird dream, it was so realistic, and different from others, he handed me his phone, and ask me to help him handle this girl, like annoyed? in the chat this girl was super obsessive, and messaged him a lot before he replied. she asked him to sing a song to her, and he sent her a voice message singing it, and other voice messages i couldn't listen in the dream. i wrote her to stop, and she was angry, telling me he started it. then i confronted him about this (still in the dream) and he changed his attitude, he seemed so guilty and said to me he had deleted some messages. i don't remember much else, but i woke up with the URGE of checking his insta messages. we've been together for 5 years, and I've never checked his phone, and neither has he (that i know if, at least) and contained myself, but I'm still very much concerned about it. it felt like an epiphany, a revelation or smth like that. I know people might think I'm overreacting but i can't get it out of my head, it was so specific.
i though about asking him to show me, but i know he'll be bothered that i don't trust him (i would be too in his place), but if he's cheating he would say that to make me feel bad. also i thought about checking his phone in his sleep, and then ask him to see his reaction, but feel so bad, i wouldn't like if he went through my phone without asking, even tho I have nothing to hide.
please, be kind!!

Princess birthday party

My child will be turning 5 over the summer and they’ve asked for a princess party but keep changing their mind on which princess they’d like to most their party so have said I can choose 🙈 which princess would your child have chosen at a similar age or if you’ve been to a few princess parties which one was best?
