Don’t tell me this is positive? My second baby is only 5 months old…

This came up in the 3 minutes. I know sometimes clearblue tests can show false positives and this is so so faint. I feel sick. My pregnancy was so bad last time and I was in such a bad mental state. I’ve been on the pill but haven’t had my period.

I've had it, currently using the Mirena coil.

Copper coil was ok, made my periods a bit heavier and I personally much prefer my Mirena (& no periods!)

I find the insertion uncomfortable but bearable and it's pretty quick. I'd go to a Sexual Health clinic where they fit them regularly (fitted one today on a woman who said "have you done it already?" when I told her we were all done).

If you don't like it you can just ask for it to be removed.

Are you Irish and living in Ireland?

Here in Ireland the term Irish Twins is in common usage and we don’t need you to be offended for us, thank you. 😂

Yes I had the copper coil for years. The insertion was pretty painful but I'm told it is worse when you haven't had a child before, it was still a manageable pain though! It was painless on the way out.

I did have slightly heavier periods whilst I was on it but even after it was out they stayed quite heavy and more crampy than before - I had it put in when I was pretty young (20) so I wonder how much of it it was just down to changing cycles anyway.

Derail, but genuinely interested. Do they mind having birthdays all at the same time? Do you get away with one party in August and another in June?

Phew OP!

They have never complained about sharing birthdays. We dont do parties every year, they do gatherings now they are older but we do big parties on big birthdays. My 18yr old and 16yr only shared a big birthday this year and they chose to celebrate together which was nice. They invited 5 friends each out to a tavern for dinner, my 18yr old and her friends had a couple drinks and then took everyone out for cold rock icecream afterwards. So for the best part, parties are separated but yes we do something in june for each june child then stuff in august for the other 4.

Thank you! Interesting to hear as I wasn’t really given any information about the patch and coming off it etc. Will be a relief to be able to track it a bit more just know when to expect my period! Will definitely be using condoms from now on until I find an alternative that my body agrees with.
