Have you looked into the contraceptive/evra patch??

You aren't on Levothyroxine are you? I had a bunch of issues with hormonal contraception because of it, turns out it doesn't mix well with estrogen

I been on the injection 6 years i have gained weight the last injection didnt agree with my body im looking to go on the coil

When I had the implant, I bled constantly. Went to the Drs and they also gave me a pill to take at the same time and it sorted it out for me.. when I stopped taking the pill and only had the implant again, I no longer bled. Worth speaking to your GP. My best form of contraception was the Mirena Hormone Coil. Had 3 in total and if I was to go on contraception again, i'd have the same! No side effects what so ever and also when you have it taken out, youre fertile straight away. Also the hormones are localised in your uterus and not throughout your whole body x

Baby asprin

Hi all, just found out im nearly 5 weeks pregnant after 2 longgggg years trying! I did start taking 75mg of asprin (what people call baby asprin) around 5-6 weeks ago, just on a whim as lots of people said it helped them conceive! I’ve never had a positive test so overrrr the moon!
Should I stop taking it now? I don’t see a midwife until like the end of September and don’t want to risk anything!
Thanks in advance!

Trying to figure out a birthday gift for my husband

A) find a way to take a picture of all three kids together and get it printed on one item.

B) use existing pictures of the kids individually print one on a mug, one on a mouse pad, and one on a puzzle.

C) get him something else that's unrelated to the kids

Which option would you go for?

Me and my partner are saving up to buy a house.

I'm 25 years old and have a 5 month old.
We currently live in my parent’s house and are more than half way from saving up the deposit to buy a decent house.

So the options are either:

- Buying a house which costs considerably less and less mortgage payments a month and can move out faster (within 5 months)
But the disadvantage is that it's not our dream location in terms of community and schools, so will probably move out in the future to a second home.

- Or should we wait and save more money and buy the dream home instead meaning we stay in my parent's house longer (8-12 months realistically)

Guilty of buying yourself something

I feel guilty buying myself this one gift.
I feel like I should spend on my kid
which I do and I don’t do anything for myself.

It is a lil pricey but I’ve never done that before and I know it wouldn’t break us because we’ve been being smart with spending.

The bright side is , it is a girly purchase and I do have a daughter. Maybe she can use it one day lol 😆

Chances of getting pregnant, having sex while on period!?

Has anyone got pregnant after having unprotected sex on your period?? My husband and I had a few shots and an edible last night and made bad decisions, he came inside me! I was on day 2 of my period so I’m hoping I don’t get pregnant but what are the chances???

Returning to work

Is anyone else absolutely terrified about going back to work? I’m supposed to be going back the start of October but I don’t know whether to delay it I’m absolutely terrified & have such bad anxiety about returning to work.
I’m okay with my little one going to nursery and with parents while I’m in work but just going back to work after 9 months off is terrifying
