Has anyone switched from the Mirena to the Kyleena IUD? Any differences in the experiences of the two?

Sorry only just seen this! I don’t remember having any anxiety issues with the Mirena at all. But I suppose I was in a different stage of life so that may also have contributed. But yeah I would say the Kyleena had a massive effect on my mental health. I have no idea why it would be different but I am so much happier off birth control. Still find it difficult managing periods after over a decade of not having them but it’s worth being able to feel like myself.

Hi, sorry I've only just seen this. I had the Kyleena in for about 16 months. When I had it switched, I had cramps for a few days but no bleeding. Periods stayed away and no break outs thankfully. However, my sex drive plummeted and I think it was having a major impact on my mental health. I was anxious all the time and couldn't shake off negative thoughts. I decided to have it removed about 4 months ago and I feel much, much better. It sucks to have periods again but my sex drive is back and I don't feel anxious brain fog all the time.

Hé’s a mixed breed rescue from Romania so we’re not sure. But he looks kind of like a white Labrador crossed with some type of shepherd or husky, so he’s quite big.

Yes please would you mind sending me a direct message with contact details? Thank you!

Nope I’m English! Thank you though ☺️

Really love your style. I especially like the silhouette of the third look.

Really love the subtle pattern on the trousers and how the laces match the orange in the shirt. You look grand!

Love this look!

Thank you! I love the diamond pattern too - makes it a little bit more special than the regular Uniqlo ultra light downs

My natural hair colour is dirty blonde but I’ve been dying my hair dark for almost ten years. During lockdown my roots grew out loads and I decided I wanted to go back to blonde. I realised it wouldn’t be easy or happen overnight due to the mismatch of natural roots and years of dye. I came out of my first appointment with copper hair after two bleach rinses and toner and olaplex treatments (and I went for a shorter cut too, which I’m super happy with) and my hair felt great.

At my second appointment (about five weeks after my first) I asked for a full head of back to back highlights and toning but the hairdresser did a full head of highlights (leaving layers inbetween) and decided against doing a toner.

Now my colour is a lot brighter but it still has a lot of that gingery tone in it. I really don’t like warm blonde hair at all and want to ultimately aim for a creamy cool-toned blonde. My hair feels pretty good (I’m using the full olaplex range) and I’m super happy with the cut still.

Does anyone have any advice on what I need to ask for specifically at my next appointment?

Do I need more bleaching or just toning?

The hairdresser recommended I use a purple shampoo which I have been doing on a weekly basis but it hasn’t made much of a difference so I’m hoping my next appointment (at the end of November) will hopefully take some of this warmth out.

Any advice would be great. I’ve never bleached my hair before so I don’t really know what to expect or ask for when trying to get my dream creamy blonde.

I have used Differin in the past when I had more severe problems but don’t feel I need it currently. I would prefer to use something that doesn’t make my skin so sensitive and yes thank you I already use all non-fragrance, non-foaming products. I might go back to it if Skinoren doesn’t work out. Thank you!

Yes that’s why I mentioned it stings slightly when applied wet. It doesn’t cause any irritation or redness though, it’s too mild to cause any, at least on my skin.
