I can't comment on the coil, but I'd say that doesn't sound normal.
However, my first period this time was 12 days long and really heavy for 90% of it!
I had 8 days break and then it kindly sent me a second, week long one.
I can't comment on the coil, but I'd say that doesn't sound normal.I'm a bit worried. I've had my first period since giving birth, it's 5 days now and not letting up at all. I'm bleeding heavily and passing clots (not bigger than a 50p),changing my pad every hour and still managed to bleed through my trousers 2 times today. I noticed last night one of the strings on my coil was hanging out a bit (approx 1.5inch), been getting bad cramps (put it down to first period after baby and forgot how brutal it is) and feeling so uncomfy below, sudden pain coming and going. Went to the toilet for the 2816638 time today and now 1 coil string is hanging out no joke about 7inches, and the other string is out about 1 inch.
Does anyone know if it's normal for this to happen during periods? I'm a bit worried now in case it's my body rejecting it 3months later. I got it inserted after my section, already had 1 string trimmed at the hosp when I had an infection and it came down then a week later the other came down and needed to get that trimmed. I'm due my smear in a week so was gonna get them to double check for me at that but now this has happened I'm a bit confused!!
This is the 3rd time the strings has visibly came out of meSo I have a coil for the first time. My GP went through some things that are signs somethings not quite right, one being you shouldn’t be seeing strings, you should be able to feel them a few inches inside. Tthe second that it could be passed during a particularly heavy period and to check you can feel the strings when it’s finished.
I would make an urgent appointment to see your nurse/gp to have it looked At, period or no period. Also avoid any unprotected sex until you’ve been seen if you wish to not get pregnant.
Nope. No thanksJust seen the story of the (probably) new Guinness world record for earliest walking child!
19 weeks and been standing on her own since 16 weeks!
I thought the rolling was annoying enough. But walking at this age?!
That is very scary!! My little one started crawling last week at just under 7 months and that's hard work enough as it isJust seen the story of the (probably) new Guinness world record for earliest walking child!

It’s horrible feeling so down about your body, I’m in a similar place. I know that groups like weight watchers and slimming world give you extra allowances for breastfeeding, so maybe checking out info on that would be a place to start?Hey, does anyone have any knowledge with calorie counting and breastfeeding. I need to loose some weight it’s really getting me down but want to be careful and not loose my milk supply. I’ve been doing 1750 a day to start with and seems okay but only lost 1lb in a week. Do you reckon I can go any lower?
I’m not breastfeeding but have been calorie counting since February. Remember if you lose 1lb a week that would be 52lbs in a yearHey, does anyone have any knowledge with calorie counting and breastfeeding.

1lb a week would be the best thing to aim for.Hey, does anyone have any knowledge with calorie counting and breastfeeding.

Any more and you run the risk of gaining it back so much quicker/easier
That’s true thank you, just feels such a teeny amountI’m not breastfeeding but have been calorie counting since February. Remember if you lose 1lb a week that would be 52lbs in a year
It feels like such a slow process. And it is. But you'll get there in the end. And you're more likely to mess it up if you're cutting yourself too low.Thank you tried them both before but it’s worth a shot thank you
That’s true thank you, just feels such a teeny amountim just scared im going to big forever I know that’s silly I got back down last time but something feels different this time.
Wow what an amazing loss! You’re an inspiration. I need to lose about 5 stone to be a healthy weight but can’t even bring myself to start and fail!It feels like such a slow process. And it is. But you'll get there in the end. And you're more likely to mess it up if you're cutting yourself too low.
Better to get there slow than not at all.
I do talk from soem experience, between my first and second child, I lost 9 stone

I'm still not classed as a 'healthy weight'Wow what an amazing loss! You’re an inspiration. I need to lose about 5 stone to be a healthy weight but can’t even bring myself to start and fail!
Yoi were put on a diet at 6?I'm still not classed as a 'healthy weight'
Don't think I ever will be! But I went with how I felt!
I've been put on diets since I was 6 so the constant starting and failing, I completely get!
Ohh that's interesting! I might have a look at that!Yoi were put on a diet at 6?that’s horrendous . I’m actually reading “Body Happy Kids” at the minute which is about raising kids away from the diet culture, and the culture that looks are all important, and some of the stats in it are scary, kids as young as 3 who are mentioning negative things about their body.
That sounds interesting! I’m really keen to teach this, i remember at 8 my grandma calling me fat and poking me in the stomach and ive been image aware ever since sadly. Ive already said to my partner we need to be careful.Yoi were put on a diet at 6?that’s horrendous .

It was like this for me as a kid too.That sounds interesting! I’m really keen to teach this, i remember at 8 my grandma calling me fat and poking me in the stomach and ive been image aware ever since sadly. Ive already said to my partner we need to be careful.
Also ever since having my little girl ive realised my mum never taught me about periods etc I would just have a pack of pads arrive in my knicker drawer every few weeks I had to rely on friends to teach me and I don’t want to repeat that. Even now at 30 and 2 kids it’s never been spoken about or sex I want to be more open.
sorry to tangent! But also amazed you have time to read with 4 kids!!
