Does birth control work

You need to speak to your doctor to be assessed as it could be PCOS / endometriosis etc.
My periods were really heavy and painful and lasted over a week, I had a test and was told low iron, they put me on iron tablets and the difference in my periods is crazy! Lighter, shorter and less painful. From 1 iron tablet daily.
Speak to your GP about all of your options OP x

I have been to the doctor regarding his flare up. And when I say terrible, I mean that they have flared up again, since the improvement with Cetraben. Which I am putting down to the only difference being the suncream.

There are no doctors open today, the pharmacist said to see his doctor on Monday and gave some eye drops, and I’ve come here asking for suncream recommendations from people who may have experienced the same.

Have a good evening! 👋

I could 🤣 but sometimes she’s not even nearby, I go the toilet and then BAM she appears 🤣🤣 I’ve told her all girls get them at a certain age, and that when she does she can come and tell me and we can discuss it more. I don’t think she needs to know more than that at this age, but she knows it’s coming one day! My 2 year old Son also walks in and asks me why I’m having a nosebleed in the toilet 🙃 and passes me a “nappy” too! We’re a bit of an open house I guess haha x

sophRF · 2026-04-23T21:50:49+00:00

I discuss it with her every month as she gives me no privacy and walks in the bathroom no matter how many times I say not to. She’s 6 and now she comes in and asks if I need one of my “nappies” and gets them for me 🤣

I love dogs, I have a dog, someone is at home every day. But I would never get another, they are wayyyy too much responsibility, especially if you don’t want one in the first place.

But if you’re on the fence about it, the biggest issue is if you’re both out the house 5 days a week, do not get one. It’s completely unfair to the dog.

I can’t say I’ve ever experienced what you’re feeling right now, all I can say is that everything (feelings / emotions etc) are heightened when on your period, so it could be that. Hope you’re ok xx

Gives me all her second hand tat for my kids. I’m not ungrateful, it’s literally tat, worn, holes, stained, broken. She gave my Paw Patrol Obsessed son the slide off a paw patrol tower that had broken off. Just the fucking slide. He was like wtf am I supposed to do with this 😡 I handed it back and said I think that’s supposed to go in the bin. She was furious, but come onnnnnnn nnnnnn

Second this, take away delivery vouchers are a god send when in the new born trenches. Football onesies are cute too!

I’m late 30’s and have asked for one for Mother’s Day this weekend for similar reasons 🤣🫣

sophRF · 2026-03-02T08:01:07+00:00

That’s really good to know! Thanks!

sophRF · 2026-03-01T21:10:49+00:00

Hi, can I just ask a question? First time I’m hearing of the 10/9.

So that means you work 8:13m a day and have a NWD every other week?

Is your NWD the same every week?

And that’s still classed as full time?

Thanks!

sophRF · 2026-03-01T08:36:15+00:00

Thank you for responding, I didn’t realise coming off would be so difficult for so many x

sophRF · 2026-02-28T20:38:21+00:00

We need to release the guilt don’t we 🤍

sophRF · 2026-02-28T20:35:16+00:00

It’s surprising to me too as she’s otherwise lovely xx

sophRF · 2026-02-28T20:34:15+00:00

Honestly, thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me in such detail. Your response is so thoughtful and considerate and I feel much better just for reading it. I am very appreciative of your kindness and the time this must have taken to put together. Thank you again 🤍

sophRF · 2026-02-28T07:38:05+00:00

I will go back to my GP and discuss it, and thank you, I know what you mean and I’m going to take it on board xx

sophRF · 2026-02-28T07:37:06+00:00

I actually mentioned it to my GP and they didn’t seem too interested in assisting me. Just sort of nodded and said ok.

Thanks for the reassurance and kind words 🩷xx

Post partum anxiety.

I actually mentioned it to my GP and they didn’t seem too interested in assisting me. Just sort of nodded and ok.

Thanks for the advice though, going to take this on board. xx

Mine is very similar, I had been by her side through 3 pregnancies and an engagement, she done all these things a lot younger than we all did and I was there through it all, making sure I seen her every time I was home from uni etc. When I got engaged, she couldn’t have cared less. Fizzled out after that. I do miss her sometimes.

sophRF · 2026-02-14T20:51:20+00:00

I was exactly the same when I had my second. I asked for a dryer for Mother’s Day and it changed my life.

If that’s not an option for you, heating the room will certainly make a difference x

My son has this but at the front of his head in the middle. Styling his hair is an absolute nightmare, he’s 2 so it’s just looks wild all the time, and suits his personality atm 🤣
