Anyone ever had the coil fitted?

I’m 35 and expecting second baby in 2 months. I don’t wish to go back on the contraceptive pill as having been off it for 3 years now, my hormones are much more settled and my mood has been 100% better so for personal reasons the pill is not an option for me but I’m considering having the coil fitted, just wondering if anyone has any experience with it please? Good or bad.

I had the coil after my second back in my 20s. It was great! I had it removed as we were trying for another baby, and when we were unsuccessful for 5 years I decided to have another one (I was about 35!) they struggle to put it in as my cervix was in spasm, so I never did get it replaced. Luckily as I now have my beautiful little girl. Insertion and removal is relatively painless x

I had the coil before having my daughter. I found it very painful to be inserted, and was out of action in bed for a few days after, but was an absolute dream the entire time I had it. I was told I have a small cervix which could explain why it was so painful for me tbh. I’ve also been told since that if I wanted it fitted again, I could be offered a Valium for pain which I wasn’t offered at the first fitting.

It’s the only contraceptive that I have found eases my Endo pain and symptoms as well as leaving my period as a barely there flow.

I fell pregnant on the third cycle after having it removed too.

As soon as I’m done having children, I’ll be having another fitted.

Moms of uncircumcised boys

My son is not circumcised and I have been wondering what the future will look like when we are teaching hygiene..

Any mommas have any experience stories on how hard it was to teach them to clean the right way to avoid infection? Was it harder to pick up then if they’d have been circumcised?

I’m a FTM to a boy!

Thank you ❤️

Caught lying

I found tadalafil in my husband's work truck. The last time I was in here it wasnt there and now it is. He lied to me and told me they were for headaches. Im a pharmacy technician i know that 20mg of tadalafil causes erections. He then said they are old and he used them when I was pregnant because he wasnt attracted to me. I dont believe him at all. I keep thinking he's cheating on me. It's hard not to think he is.

Maybe its just me 🤔

But when girls hmu saying "add me here" and we dont speak, I swear its because they want more followers LMFAO dumb asf 🤣
(And to the ones where we do socialize and what not, omg youre the best and I hope your pillows are always cold)

I feel so lonely.

Why is parenting so lonely!!!
