Hey moms

I'm on birth control can you get your menstrual twice a month ? Because is happening to me. .

Depends on what type of birth control, I know a long time ago like 10 or 12 years ago I got the shot and I have my period for an entire month straight It was horrible!!

Are you still on it ? .. I want to remove it

Yes. I sometimes have one at the beginning and the end of the month. Just happened this month actually.

That's why I was originally put on BC, because I got my period every 2 weeks. But with an IUD type of BC it is considered in the range of normal until your body gets more used to it. More than likely it should reduce your periods (shorter and lighter) over time.

It can happen..it’s all hormones and they’ll mess with you regardless..also if you’ve had a baby in the last year, they’re gonna be messed up

Is that question was for me, it was the shot so as soon as it left my body it was gone and no I did not get it ever again!!

I want to get rid of it asap.. my body is acting different.. buying pads uncontrollably lol

What type of birth control is it??

I have the Implant.nexplanon.

Well with an implant you're going to have to get it removed or wait until it runs its course but I would imagine that it lasts 1 to 5 years so you're not going to want to do that..
I know when my stepdaughter got her implant removed it cost $300 She got hers removed for a different reason so I don't know if certain reasons justify a cheaper cost.. The Best of luck to you

Family culture difference on money

Sorry this is long, I hope some of you get to the end and give advice!!!

So I’m a very thrifty person, things are tight at the moment, the cost of living crisis and my house is heated by oil so things are extortionate. We aren’t on the bread line but we aren’t flush, hubby might be made redundant so there is some financial pressure.

Sometimes I buy my sons something nicer, on the justification that I can sell it on after (♥️ vinted ♥️). I have also been planning on pretty much breaking even most of the baby things I bought from face book market place, side by crib, baby changing unit, etc.

Hubby and I have different money cultures with our families (he’s Indian, I’m British). I’m my family we don’t mix money, we would help each other out if someone was in trouble and will get each other gifts on special occasions. With hubby’s family money is much more fluid, they will give each other things worth thousands of £ just because.

Hubby’s brother bought him a new laptop and a new Google phone, he’s been very generous to hubby. Hubby hasn’t given the same back because brother is much richer.

Hubby and I mostly share finances. If it’s relevant I’m the higher earner.

Now to the point! My babies are so cute they’ve given hubby’s brother (currently single) baby rabies. He’s asked for our baby stuff when we’re done with it. He’s been so generous to hubby I feel really stingy saying no. But I’d never have bought some of the stuff if I wasn’t going to get a return on it - the thought makes me a bit anxious. If we gave all our baby stuff given the second hand value it still wouldn’t equal what the brother had given hubby.

I thought maybe I could give him some stuff but sell some stuff, but hubby said then his brother will just have to go out and buy that stuff, so I should name my price and ask his brother for the money. That makes me feel very uncomfortable, given how generous the brother has been to hubby.

So what do I do ladies? Give it all and suck it up? Give part of it and sell parts on Vinted/FB, or ask hubbys brother for money for it and be uncomfortable? Or do you see another solution?

No one is being entitled or rude here, just a culture difference I need to navigate.

Advice

Hi everyone! I honestly have 0 social queues when it comes to talking to anyone in general. I definitely have a hard time talking to other women and making new friends. I can 100% relate. I just don’t like the idea of texting or meeting up but when I do I’m like “oh this isn’t bad.” Any advice? I also have a hard time getting comfortable and just feeling judged by other women😅 I’m also 19 so maybe making a change in this now will help in the future making mom friends/friends in general. Thanks in advance!

Looking for more same age friends!!

Hi! I’m 23 and a stay at home (soon to be) mom. I have been having a tough time finding friends/women in similar circumstances to mine and would love to make some if possible! If you feel the same, let me know

BJ’s

Am I the only one that thinks blowjobs are boring?

My relationship is failing I feel so alone.. I need a girlfriend to talk to :(

I'm a sahm and I feel so stuck... anyone going through the same thing? I could really use someone to relate to and talk through this with. Feeling so vulnerable but if I don't I won't be able to pull myself out of this
