Contraception mini pill or implant

I’ve got phone call with nurse about discussing different contraception and idk whether to go for the mini pill or the implant. Could anyone give me the pros and cons of each, even better if been on both before

Wasn’t pill linked to cancer?

I highly recommend getting an IUD, very light, short periods- I forget it’s there (I have Mirena)

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

Maternity allowance

Hi guys! So I am currently on maternity leave with my boy and pregnant again, my maternity leave is almost over (I took the full 52 weeks off) so I am due back work soon! I have just had an email saying I’m not eligible for statuary maternity pay again and they are sending me a form to apply for maternity allowance! I would only be back at work for approx 6-8 weeks before going on maternity again! So I thought I would use my holidays instead of actually going back but the manager has actually refused them. What I’m wondering is, if I was to hand in my notice, would I still technically be eligible for maternity allowance and get the full amount or would it be the £27 a week? Because if I did do that, then they would obviously still have to pay me my holidays that I’m entitled to?

Change of religion when married.. advice please!

Hi all, my husband has very recently and out of the blue turned to Christianity (we were atheist). I’ve been super supportive, we’re speaking a lot about it, I’m reading the bible to understand. To be clear I don’t have an issue with it at all (I went to a Christian school, just wouldn’t say I’ve found Jesus myself 🤷🏼‍♀️).
I just wondered if anyone has been in a similar situation? What if I can’t come to the same conclusion and we end up not being of the same religion?


Really hoping someone’s gone through similar and may give me an idea of how it turned out please 🙏

Why am I so pathetic...

I just cant walk away from this "friendship" that is so glaringly obviously one way..I go 3 days feel great and then just end up caving in and messaging to see how they are

I feel im worth more than this however something in me is clearly desperate to retain the 1 friend I have 😔 even writing this is sound so stupid
