TMI but I am for the for the first time in my life okay with the fact that I just started my period.…

I'm having problems with my nexplannon /:

what is it? an IUD?

@chhaya Really?? Like what?

@azaleajade927 It's the one they put in your arm

@sarahrachel0715, im glad you have good periods with it. I got it back in august and im constantly bleeding. Just the morning one day. Then two days later all day. Then a week later a day here and there. Now ive been bleeding for a week so far with no sign of stopping. But it isnt as heavy as before so thats a plus. I just dont like the uncertainty

@liz5511 Oh wow. I'm having a completely different experience with it. I started spotting yesterday and I'm still spotting a little today with light cramps. My doctor told me that most women don't even bleed with this and that if I was one of the ones that spotted, it would probably stop completely after the first year. I hope yours gets better for you.

@sarahrachel0715, my dr told me that id have light spotting for 6 months. Not that id bleed for almost 6 months. Lol. but she also told me she could prescribe me birth control pills to help with the bleeding. I was like , why would i need two different types of birth control?!

@liz5511 Dang that's crazy! I'd definitely go talk to her about it then. Maybe it didn't get put in right or something. Better safe than pregnant. lol

@sarahrachel0715, yesss!!! I love my kids and had easy pregnancies but two is enough for me for now! Lol. Im waiting on my insurance to go thru then im making an appt! I just dont really want any other types of bc considering ive already had 2 miscarriages + hemorrhaging with both of my kids while pregnant + ovarian cysts + precancerous cells. So if i do want more kids i dont want to do anything else now that will lower my chances even more!

My pregnancy was great considering all of the things that could have gone wrong. Healthy mama, healthy baby. But my delivery was terrible. I felt contractions in my back, pelvis and sides. I was in labor for 50 hours. Pitocin only got me to an 8. My Epidural kept quitting on me. Ended up having to be put to sleep and delivered via c-section. Completely worth it all, but definitely not trying to do it again for a looooong time. lol.
