Been on both and the implant messed with my hormones soooo bad, been like 3 years since it’s been out and only started to get better from it now. Had “bleeding” for the whole year I had it in, cramp like pains CONSTANTLY, so much weight gain and honestly I could keep listing on things. Never had a problem with the pill personally. But also know people that have had the opposite experience, contraceptive is so different for each person, you just have to find the one that works for you

I have only heard bad things about the insert from everyone’s who had one. I’d go pill!

Anyone I know who’s had the implant has had issues with it

I went with the Nexplanon. Pills are too difficult to remember, IUDs are known for problems, and depo linked to serious problems

I've had the implant for 2 years and no issues. Had some occasional spotting but no actual periods. Will get it again when it needs replacing.

~ reading all these, as I’m deciding too, & it’s just insane what we have to do 😭😭😭

I’ve been on the mini pill and my mood swings were crazy, also my libido disappeared. I was constantly snappy, angry, moody and no desire to have sex, even when I tried having I was so dry and irritable that it felt like r*ape and obv no orgasm. This just pissed me off even more and I decided to stop taking the mini pill and now I feel fantastic. Nobody mentioned to me it can mess up my intimate life this much.

I got my implant back I loved my first one. Had no periods most of the 2.5 years I had it. The actual implantation isn’t too bad a sting or two of lidocaine then nothing. It will bruise but you’ll always know it’s there

I’ve got implant and I don’t have periods and never caught on it
It’s been one year… I don’t even know how it goes anymore. My husband’s not trying. We don’t have time alone ever.
Are we doomed?

Struggling to find friends on here 😂 I just want some mom friends where the effort goes both ways. We’re all busy, but I want friendships where we actually make time for each other and genuinely want to hang out. 🫶🏼
Give me the tomboy moms who wanna do random stuff, watch cars go stupid fast at the racetrack 🏁😂, and just vibe. I just want a few people I really click with. Where are my gearhead mamas?❤️

I’m a 32 year old mom of 6, yes SIX kids! My life is a little crazy, we live in a small town in Ontario. Send me a message if you’re local and looking for a mom friend with lots of little ones. 4 of my kids are in school (11, 9, 6, 3) and 2 are home with me (1 and 1 month).

How do mums do it without a village? I'm currently 25weeks pregnant with a 25month old and live in an area where I have zero friends or family around me. Yes my husband helps but he's got 2 jobs so super busy and I'm too tired to be looking after a toddler all day everyday whilst being pregnant. I ask for help from my mum but she doesn't want to sacrifice her holidays for me or spend time/money to come up to me. I'm just sick of it. I feel so alone. I feel so hurt. I wish someone would just come help me.
