Birth control

Random post but has anyone used this birth control? I’ve never been on birth control and tbh I don’t fully understand it. I’ve been basically spotting and sometimes heavier for the past 2 weeks since a week after I started it and I’m about to take the different colored pill. Can someone explain it to me like I’m a child because I don’t understand lol also they say spotting is normal but for almost a month straight ?!?

I have used this. Yeah with any birth control you may face this. Give it time. You are introducing something foreign to your body. You will redirect your body in a sense… give it time… ask your physician though if you’re really concerned

I haven’t taken this brand before, but essentially you’ll take the blue pills for 3 weeks, and then the white pills on the fourth week. The white pills are placebos (not actual birth control) so that you can have your regular period. For that week, it’s best to not have unprotected sex until you’re back on the blue pills.
The reason they give you placebos is so you still have a pill to take every day so you don’t lose that habit and then forget to start taking your birth control again after your period has ended.

I was on this on/off about 10 years. I was told of all the hormonal bc, it’s the lowest amt of hormones you can get on the market. But you have to give it time, if this is your first pack you may need to go another 2-3 before things level out.

Weirdly enough this pill made my periods VERY irregular. I generally still got my period, it was very light and sometimes only 3 days, sometimes nothing at all, but spotting is normal. (My GYN even said I could skip the white and brown pills and only take the blue pills continuously if I wanted to not get a period)

You have to take it every day for it to work. There are instructions for what to do if you miss a pill but do your best not to miss more than 2 at most.

Having been on it for an extended amount of time, it worked well for me, and once I stopped I never had an issue getting pregnant soon after. So I don’t have an issue with this brand. However it is a pharmaceutical.. just remember that.

Getting ghosted

I’m so close to giving up on meeting other mums🙄

Which is weird because they are always like “I want more mum friends and a friend to hang out with my kid” like not getting back in days is ok but weeks or ever wtf😅 anyone else having this problem? Do people come on here to meet people or what?😅
I just wanted a friend for my kid so he’s more social

Is it bad i just want someone to flirt with me? I just want to feel pretty..

I would never cheat, I'm not that kind of person, but I just want to feel pretty.. Sometimes I think about going on adult chat rooms like I used to just to get someone to tell me I look pretty. I want someone to flirt with me and make me have butterflies

Am i wrong

I’m sorry, but please tell me am I wrong? The father of my child basically the sperm donor when I first got pregnant. He didn’t want nothing to do with my child. I ended up getting married to my wife and she stepped in and her name is actually on the birth certificate because she stepped in and did her job when she didn’t have to now all of a sudden her father is now trying to be involved and I personally don’t have anything against that but I also want him to understand that it’s not just up to me. My wife has say at the end of the day me and my wife are our team so it has to work for the both of us. You know what I mean am I wrong for feeling that way he’s getting an attitude because he thinks that I’m keeping the baby from him, but it’s not just up to me at least to me that’s how I see it. Me and my wife are happy and content again I’m not keeping her from him, but I can’t just make decisions without my wife being involved specially when she’s legally and heavily involved
