What BC?? I'm on a no estrogen BC pill I never gotten ant side effects or bloating with it

Nexplanon implant. 😩
I’m literally bleeding everyday not much just spotting and dr said my body is still adjusting

if it was me I would definitely think about a different kind of one that sounds awful im so sorry 😭

I have a nexplanon got it put in day after I had my October baby and didn’t have any additional bleeding and I have and still am losing weight. My milk supply wasn’t affected, no side effects and overall I forget I even have it.

I have the metal IUD and have spotting but no hormonal effects

I’ve had mine since November and have had no issues with it. I’ve had one period which was expected but other than that it’s been pretty nice I do miss my patch birth control but this was better since I was breastfeeding but I stopped at three months due to it was giving me depression and anxiety. I didn’t have spotting but that is a side effect. The thing is no birth control is perfect but please do not for the love of god get the depo shot that is horrendous. The pill is okay but I got pregnant while taking it so it didn’t work for me but does for others. I’m scared of iuds but my friend loves hers. The patch was definitely my favorite but the rob makes me feel secure in case they ban birth control

Family culture difference on money

Sorry this is long, I hope some of you get to the end and give advice!!!

So I’m a very thrifty person, things are tight at the moment, the cost of living crisis and my house is heated by oil so things are extortionate. We aren’t on the bread line but we aren’t flush, hubby might be made redundant so there is some financial pressure.

Sometimes I buy my sons something nicer, on the justification that I can sell it on after (♥️ vinted ♥️). I have also been planning on pretty much breaking even most of the baby things I bought from face book market place, side by crib, baby changing unit, etc.

Hubby and I have different money cultures with our families (he’s Indian, I’m British). I’m my family we don’t mix money, we would help each other out if someone was in trouble and will get each other gifts on special occasions. With hubby’s family money is much more fluid, they will give each other things worth thousands of £ just because.

Hubby’s brother bought him a new laptop and a new Google phone, he’s been very generous to hubby. Hubby hasn’t given the same back because brother is much richer.

Hubby and I mostly share finances. If it’s relevant I’m the higher earner.

Now to the point! My babies are so cute they’ve given hubby’s brother (currently single) baby rabies. He’s asked for our baby stuff when we’re done with it. He’s been so generous to hubby I feel really stingy saying no. But I’d never have bought some of the stuff if I wasn’t going to get a return on it - the thought makes me a bit anxious. If we gave all our baby stuff given the second hand value it still wouldn’t equal what the brother had given hubby.

I thought maybe I could give him some stuff but sell some stuff, but hubby said then his brother will just have to go out and buy that stuff, so I should name my price and ask his brother for the money. That makes me feel very uncomfortable, given how generous the brother has been to hubby.

So what do I do ladies? Give it all and suck it up? Give part of it and sell parts on Vinted/FB, or ask hubbys brother for money for it and be uncomfortable? Or do you see another solution?

No one is being entitled or rude here, just a culture difference I need to navigate.

Hi everyone! I honestly have 0 social queues when it comes to talking to anyone in general. I definitely have a hard time talking to other women and making new friends. I can 100% relate. I just don’t like the idea of texting or meeting up but when I do I’m like “oh this isn’t bad.” Any advice? I also have a hard time getting comfortable and just feeling judged by other women😅 I’m also 19 so maybe making a change in this now will help in the future making mom friends/friends in general. Thanks in advance!
