Contraceptive pill

I’ve been on the pill for 10+ years, prior I was on the injection for 5 years so all in all apart from 1 month where I then fell pregnant super fast I’ve been on some sort of contraception for 15 years. I’d like to come off the pill and be on nothing, however I have extent fear of falling pregnant (which I don’t want) Is there anyone not on contraception with an active sex life? How do you track cycle/ovulation etc? I’ve been with my partner for 10 years so realistcly we’re not going to start using condoms lol

I have a Fitbit and use the linked app to track my periods, it's very accurate at telling me when my next period is due and also when my fertile time is. I basically avoid sex for the whole fertile time plus a couple of days either side though so guess depends how long you can go without :)

Sex

At what stage in pregnancy did you stop having sex? I’m almost in my third trimester now and it’s just not comfortable for me at all. We do other stuff but I just can’t see us having sex until after birth now. Is this normal? I feel like a bad wife but also I feel like my comfort takes priority here?

I need support

so I'm 30 weeks pregnant and found out my man was cheating on me. he blamed me. I asked him to block her, he didn't block her til a week later when I asked to see her blocked . he also works with her. he asked for nudes and apparently she denied but he won't let me see the messages dating back to when we started dating. he claims they didn't sleep together tho.

Men in pregnancy

Vent moment
Why is it men in pregnancy think its all about them?
How they feel?
They dont understand whats happening tonu but its ur fault for not sharing ur constantly in pain or you try and control your mood swings but thats not good enough. Or your sex drive is so dead, that it is your fault.
My situationship has the nerve every single day to remind me that his feelings means more then what is happening atm.
Why? Everything he does or smells like pisses me off.
Im ready to tell him theres the door. But then I cant afford rent..
I am tired. And exhausted. And I tell him but no, that is not good enough.
🙄😬😮‍💨😭🤬

Food on holiday

We are going abroad all inclusive however the restaurant opens later than LG’s dinner time, how have others dealt with this? A family member said they took meals in their suitcase?
