Birth control - desogestrel (mini pill)

Has anyone been using the mini pill? And if so, how’s it been going for you? I’ve been on it for just over a week now and I’m not sure.. my period was due yesterday and still, nothing.

Deleting app

I’m so ready to delete this app. I don’t think people actually want to gain friendships. I’ve only had little conversations and that’s it. What a bummer 😒

What do women benefit from marriage

Women sacrifice more pause their career yet the men complain more and won’t even help

What is the benefit, I ask again

So my old car went out completely and the repairs are NOT worth spending on that old car. 😞 Now I’m in need of one however, I’m also trying to get an apartment too but I know I will probably need a car before I can get my apartment. Should I get a reliable used newer car (car note) or should I get a cash car?

Is it appropriate to give a card for Eid?

My neighbour has been fasting for Ramadan and I wondered if it would be appropriate to give a card for Eid. He gave us a Christmas card and I want to return the favour.

App not what I thought it'd be

I'm probably just being too picky, but I heard great things about this app and so far it's not really what I thought it would be. Also I have no idea how to turn off the premium/plus feature😂 I thought I would be able to find a lot of people in similar situations (first pregnancy, first baby, same stages, etc) but so far that's not what I'm finding. A good friend of mine found some really good people and friends all in the same stages but I'm not quite finding the same thing. I know there's nothing wrong with finding people who are on their 2nd or 3rd babies but idk. It's a bit disappointing I guess and I just needed to express that?

Mirena Coil

I just wanted to hear peoples experiences, I had the mirena coil pre giving birth and the experience was absolute hell. I was soaking through pads hourly and the cramps were the closest thing I’ve felt to contractions in my life. All I could do was lie in bed and cry, I was on literally the strongest pain killers and after 2 weeks I had to get it taken out.

But now post birth, I’m really struggling with birth control, the bar in my arm is no better periods wise I’m bleeding everyday which has now resulted in me being low iron, also tried to combination pill which made me bleed even more and experience low mood. I’ve booked to get it taken out next week but I’ve also booked to give the mirena another go

I’m genuinely so scared but this is my last chance I’m giving contraception before i go down the route of sterilisation, as I’ve tried every option which to no avail has suited me. With every method I’ve experienced low mood, irregular bleeding, fatigue- I feel like if this doesn’t work out I have to forget the image of having 2 kids and fight my case to get sterilised (I’m 23)

Please give me some hope that this will work out😢
