Possible chemical?

Hi ladies. I feel like I’m heading towards a chemical? I don’t feel like my tests are really getting darker, and then today on 12 DPO it’s lighter. If it’s going to be a chemical, I just want to start bleeding already as this is torture.

Nexplonon

(I have no idea how to spell that lol) my birth control is supposed to last three years, is there any chance it could end a couple months early? Or is it exactly to the day? How does that work?

Marriage decisions

Should a husband have a say in when his wife should conceive a second child and when they should stop using birth control? If he’s not very supportive and there’s a lot of disagreement in the marriage, should he have a say?

Have you ever peed in your car?

Saw a super divided post on instagram where a mom said “one thing I was not prepared for in motherhood was how often I’d pee in a cup in my car”. I’m not ashamed to admit it - I have done this. I was making a long haul trip alone with a one year old while heavily pregnant, it was 11pm, they were asleep and I was i...
