I was on the patch for about 12 years and thought it was great. Had no hormonal issues, my periods were super light and sometimes would only last a couple of days and it’s much easier to remember to change something once a week.
Only minor issues I ever had was that it would sometimes really irritate my skin and it looked a bit gross as fibres from my clothing would get stuck to the glue around the edges.
I was the on the patch and I loved it I have no periods or anything and it’s great as u only have to chance it weekly
However my only issues were it made my skin extremely sensitive and itchy and I did also get pregnant on it too (with my current pregnancy) but it worked great for nearly 2 years before I did end up getting pregnant x
Loved the patch. Was on it for about 5 years before I got pregnant. Only thing that regulated my period. Just recently come back on it after having my daughter x

Quitting my job
So I’ve come to the decision to quit my job mainly because they keep putting my safety at risk with heavy loads and stuff and I’m over worrying what they’re going to make me do, so I’m going to quit with immediate effect because I literally end up having panic attacks before I leave my house to go to work. Just want to know if people think what I’m doing is right or if I’m jumping the gun

Christmas toys
Sorry I know it’s too early for the ‘c’ word😂 but I’m wondering if you build the toys before wrapping them for your toddlers?
Last year he was only nearly 1 obviously when things were unwrapped In a box he wasn’t really interested nor did he know what it was. Even when things were built he’d still rather play with the boxes and to some extent I’m expecting the same this year but I thought maybe if I pre build the toys and wrap them so they’re ready to play with straight away he’d be more engaged and excited. Is this something anyone else does? He’ll be coming up to 2 this Christmas and I’ve got him a few things I just know he’s going to love!

Sex life during pregnancy
Has anyone else completely lost their sex drive in pregnancy? 🙈
I haven’t had sex since finding out I’m pregnant and honestly haven’t really felt the desire or need to, but I’m starting to worry whether that’s normal!
I think there are a few things going on. We were trying for nearly 2 years, so sex became quite regimented and scheduled around ovulation and I think it lost some of the fun and spontaneity. Now I’m pregnant I almost feel a sense of relief like… it’s done its job 😂
I’m also quite anxious about having sex and then bleeding afterwards. I know spotting can happen and doesn’t necessarily mean anything is wrong, but I know myself and I think seeing any blood would completely freak me out.
But then part of me worries that I’ve genuinely just lost my sex drive. I don’t want to get completely out of the habit of being intimate either, especially knowing that once baby is here we’ll probably be tired and have even less time for ourselves!
Has anyone else felt like this in the first trimester? Did your sex drive come back later on? Did anyone actually go their whole pregnancy without having sex at all?
And did you just wait until you genuinely wanted it again, or did you find that getting back into it helped bring the desire back?

Why is it so hard to build real friendships, if we're all on here for the same thing ?
