Hello, I’m looking for advice regarding the coil.

I’m aware the coil can’t meet all of my needs but I’d like to avoid pregnancy, periods and weight gain.

I’m almost 24 with 2 children and my periods have been very heavy and very painful since having my second in November.

Can anyone give me advice on the coils if you’ve had one, what are the side effects and has it worked for you?

I’ve had the mirena / hormonal coil - highly recommend it! I had really heavy periods too - would leak through sometimes even - & they practically stopped with the coil. Maybe one or two days of bleeding
But lots of spotting which is really annoying

I had a mirena and it met all of those needs! I didn't have a period the whole time it was in (I've had 3 in total) and didn't gain any weight with it, and didn't get pregnant!

I had the mirena fitted in January during laparoscopic surgery, I haven’t stopped bleeding since having it fitted 6 months ago! I had it for adenomyosis, It’s definitely helped with pain however my moods are all over the place, bleeding all the time I have a period then bleed lightly for the rest of the cycle then have a period so on… only reason I’ve kept it in is because it’s reduced my pain so much on my periods. Before I couldn’t even barely walk or get out of bed when I was on and now I can! After sex with the coil I also get cramps/pain. Very mixed feelings about my coil 🤣🤣xxx

4wks postpartum husband tried to engage in sexual intimacy but was weird

To preface I have given him head once last week when I was feeling up to it kinda of spur of moment thing. Tonight he had a few beers and after I put the kids to bed I came into the room and he waved me over I thought he wanted a hug but he pulled me to sitting on top of him and then pulled off his bottoms. I’m exhausted and don’t want anything of they nature so I said I’m not doing anything tonight then he started to rub my clit (I was wearing a night gown) and put me on my back and tried to put his fingers inside which I said no I can’t do that it’s to early then he started to try to eat me out at this point I felt really uncomfortable and told him to stop in a more firm way and he said cmon don’t you want a release and I said no I want to go to bed I’m not ready for anything down there yet. Then he kinda pouted and went to play games. Now I’m feeling pretty weird with his actions and gross also before this he has very rarely ever eaten me out so I’m like why would you try now after I just had a baby? And I’m upset he kept trying after I said no. How do I talk to him about this later?

Is it over?

So I’m 10 weeks post partum and well aware I have hormones all over the place (and a toddler too) however….
I am hugely disappointed with my fiancé rn. He has been so self indulged. He has not taken care of me my whole pregnancy in fact quite the opposite. Every day he cooks himself dinner for his fitness journey and uses every utensil and pot and pan etc then I have to wash it up. (Always at the time when I need to be cooking dinner) He never ever cooks for me or our toddler. He constantly talks about sex and says I should just have sex with him even when I don’t want to because he is a man and he needs it (and the thought of being intimate with him atm is not it) we are not connected in anyway and he keeps telling me things like ‘I’m not his peace’ or that he looks at females on insta and thinks of them sexually and that he doesn’t look at me like that anymore. He watches all these stupid podcasts about men comparing themselves to women in a negative light and wants to debate all the time. I’m just trying to get through the day 😄😩 on his paternity leave he slept downstairs so he could be “well rested” for when he goes back to work??? Am I going insane or is this man just not loving on me?
