Sex on birth control

Does anyone else not have sex while on birth control? Whenever I’m on it I’m just never in the mood and don’t enjoy it no matter how much foreplay happens. I feel bad for him especially because I keep talking about how I want another kid in the near ish future.

It can actually lower libido.

When I was on my birth control I didn’t find my husband attractive anymore and I hated the way he smelled he never smelled bad 😂 I didn’t want anything to do with him along with other side affects It wasn’t until after I got off I realized it was my birth control. I also spent 5 years of our marriage not on birth control and when I got on it I ended up getting pregnant.

It’s different for me I’ve be overly active lol and if it wasn’t for work or school I’ll have it everyday

It's different for me too I am on Nexplanon and we have had sex multiple times it just depends on the person

Birth control messes with my body so much. I’m currently on the IUD and have been bleeding ever since my doctor put in on June 3rd ish. I go September 1st to get it out because I don’t wanna bleed all day every day.

Looking for my Alt Bestie

Just a silly goofy goober. 38 with a 15 year old and married...it's always about married life or mom life...i totally lost who i am. Friends? Can't find them. Would love to meet a friend like me.... ive got ADHD...super carefree...love hardcore/punk/emo music...

I am a teen girl trapped in an adult body. I would love to find someone who loves to laugh and doesn't take life so seriously...someone who gives no fcks and can match my weird girl energy.

Remote work??

Where does everyone find work from home jobs?? I’ve been job hunting on indeed but can’t find anything. I want to stay home with my LO but I also wanna help my partner with the bills. He’s been a huge support since I had to leave my job when I was pregnant. But daycare is kinda out of the question for me. So how do you get a remote job with just a high school diploma?

Social Anxiety

I would love to hear how others who suffer with social anxiety have managed to make friends. I talk myself out of so many situations where I could meet people with similar interests but I’m just preventing myself from living and I don’t want to do that anymore. I feel like I come across rude by avoiding eye contact because I’m overthinking too much and afraid of not being accepted. What are your coping strategies? ❤️

Ideas for a side hustle to earn extra income

Hi ladies. Before having my LO I was self employed running my own business. Going back to that business after maternity isn’t financially doable, it’s physically demanding and too time consuming I’d be away from my son for too long.

I’m putting it on here to see if anyone has any side hustle ideas to bring in extra money to the household once my maternity finishes, something that I can do working from home and on my own terms

Any ideas or advice is very welcomed 😊

Why am I so awkward and bad at socialising 😓😫

Just a vent really, I met up with a group of mums today from baby group and we all went for a walk and I'm just so so bad at socialising, I was the quietest one and I can never contribute to the conversation very well or people don't hear me and talk over me and I feel so awkward arghhhh! How do you do it???
