Memory lost from birth control

I’m on nexoplan, the arm implant birth control and I don’t know if it’s relating to the birth control but my memory is shit. A year ago I started this birth-control, and I remember feeling depressed, very low energy and I think I had bad memory as well. A year later I feel like my moods OK my energy is so so, but my memory is way worse. Not only that but I’m also like mixing up different phrases too, like I told my boyfriend to throw the towel in the trashcan, when I really meant to say laundry basket. Mixing up my phrases like that happens to me all the time. I’m also repeating myself a lot, repeating different stories I’ve already told. I’m very concerned. I had a lingering UTI for three years that even after antibiotics would come back bc I wasn’t getting the right treat to the exact bacteria I had. I know that UTIs can also mess with peoples memories so I don’t know if that had something to do with it as well. Any who, is anyone on nexoplan or any other birth control where u r experience memory loss? And if you’re on a birth control that you’re having a good experience with please let me know what it is because I am going to probably change my birth control very soon.

I used to take contraceptive medication (for 10 years) until I realised how depressed & lethargic they made me (i had to try & pin point when the depression & anxiety began & it took me almost 10 years to realise it was caised by the meds), I stopped taking them and within 3 weeks or so my dark depression had lifted completely & I was back full of energy! I've never ever taken contraceptive medication again & haven't had a touch of depression since.

Thank u for responding to this post. Gosh I’m just so torn if I should get off this birth-control or not. Like I am sick of being so forgetful and tired from this birth-control but it last three years 🤷‍♀️

Cranberries (water, juice, sauce, tea) ♥️
More herbal tea 🌿 thyme, biting nettle, lemon balm...
Zink,magnesium, vit C.
Cut on eggs dairy and gluten (best) (they feed pathogens in your body then they make troubles)
What about heavy metals? They can influence the memory depending on where they are. (Short or long memory) 🧠
Row garlic and onion (qacamole)

You can have it removed sooner, I didn’t have one in for long as it made me gain loads of weight & it wasn’t the right one for me.

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

Work + baby?

Hi everyone I’m a struggling mom needing to go back to work but trying to avoid sending my baby to daycare I’m desperately trying to find work I can do with my baby as I won’t have any one I trust to babysit. If anyone knows anything please reach out. I just want my baby to be safe but living in this economy with one income is just impossible. Please fellow moms im begging for anything!

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣
