Currently started taking Slynd … I heard it causes cervical cancer and blood clots it sounds awful. I don’t want to get pregnant again but I also don’t want to put this junk in my body. Has anyone ever taken the pill for years and been OK? Any advice here would be great and helpful. Thank you!!

I have and was okay. You could also do an iud and that can last like 10 years

I did the pill for years and I'm ok. Within the last 8yrs I used the iud. It was great because I didn't have to remember to take a pill. But also I had to go for a "surgery" for them to remove it as the strings were cut to short. They had me take a Valium and used a camera to find it. Nothing invasive

I'm doing natural family planning, there's courses and information online but it's worked great for me!

I won’t take it. It does increase your risks for certain cancers, can cause weight gain, can result in long term hormonal disorders such as PCOS. I track my fertility, use condoms, and now that we are done done my hubby is going to get a vasectomy.

I was on the pill for many years and I was fine. Slynd tho made me a raving lunatic, be aware.

I’d recommend a copper IUD as it’s nonhormonal and doesn’t have the laundry list of side effects that the hormonal birth control does. It’s either that or condoms or ya know a vasectomy for your partner

To many probability of problems for me personally… I’m EBF right now so as long as my baby latches every 4-6 hours “”NO OTHER BABYS””
and after that after they turn 1 yo…well my man is my man 🤷🏽♀️ & we already have 3 lol there’s always the pull out game !! That’s worked for me for 7 years.. now we have twins though because hubby wanted a baby….
You could also use a female condom ? Or the Sponge !! ((Spermicide))you put the lube on the sponge and put it inside you 15 min before sex…
Does anyone wear condoms with their husband? I personally don’t and just curious if there are married couples out there who do.

I found out my husband was cheating during pregnancy and postpartum. Now I don’t ask for sex, I avoid conversations about our relationship. I don’t give a fuck anymore. He says I’ve been rude and don’t care if he’s dead or alive.
What else can I do to make his life a living hell?

ANY ideas?

I’m so ready to start working again, partly because I’m struggling rn but I don’t think I could be a SAHM because I like to be able to not only get a break but also keep busy other than just taking care of baby GOD knows I love her so much, so I guess that’s a pro & con that I’m single mom I guess because currently I’ve been SAHM & surviving by the grace of god 😭 BUT IM SO READY TO GET OUT THIS HOUSE & PPD DONT make it any better.
