Getting The Implant

Welcome to my blog,

I got the implant about a month ago and thought I'd write a blog about it.

What the NHS says: 

The contraceptive implant is a small flexible tube about 40mm long that's inserted under the skin of the upper arm. It is inserted by a trained professional and lasts for 3 years. The implant stops the release of an egg from the ovary by slowly releasing progestogen into your body. Progestogen also thickens the cervical mucus and thins the womb lining. This makes it harder for sperm to move through your cervix, and less likely for your womb to accept a fertilised egg.

The area was numbed but it still hurt. I could only feel a burning sensation and a pushing sensation as the doctor was putting it in. I'd say it hurt 6/10 so it wasn't extremely painful but you could still feel it.

It only hurt for 2-3ish days and has not hurt since I can feel it every now and again and the doctor did show me where it was in my arm so I could feel it and show the person who will take it out where it is.

I am typically not someone that likes going round showing everybody where it is and trying to make everyone touch it haha.

If you're thinking of getting it because you are on the pill and forget to take it sometimes (like me) I'd say definitely give this a go if you don't like it, it is easily removed.

The only side affects I've had is feeling a little sick when I first got it done and being on my period I don't have stomach cramps or anything so it's okay but a girl knows what it's like to be on your period. 

So that bits not great but everyone is different and if you got it you might not have the same side effects you might get totally different ones or you may get none at all.

Thanks for reading please leave a comment.

My Experience At The Job Centre

Welcome to my blog, 

I first went to the job centre to sign on around my 18th birthday. I had just finished doing a beauty course in life skills  and when I completed it it was to late to head back in to college for my education so I took a year off to get myself a part/full time job to earn myself some money.

The first time I went in for my interview with them my boyfriend came with me for support as it says on there website you are allowed to, as soon as I walked in and said what I was there for they automatically wanted to know why my boyfriend was there and that they didn't have 'enough room' for him to stay. 

I told them that the website said it was ok for him to be there and that maybe they should read it for them self before jumping down my throat about it. The lady was so rude continuously saying there wasn't enough space for him to be there so I said it was fine and that he could stand. I really wasn't expecting to be there that long I know they pay you money for these things but why do they all have to think they are better than you because of you being there. 

It's just not needed and they all make you feel like crap for going there. 

Avoid going to the job centre for as long as you can jstay in education, if you don't enjoy the course you are doing then do your best to change it or have a job you can go to so you don't have to go to the job centre. 

Worst decision I've ever made and I will do everything in the future to avoid it if I ever have to go back.

Bra Fitting Experience

Welcome to my blog,

If you've never been to get a bra fitting and think it's going to be much worse than it probably is then don't panic.

I went quite a while ago now to go and get myself measured as I heard wearing the wrong size for your body won't help your posture.

So I went to Ann Summers had a look round at the underwear before asking one of the ladies that worked there to fit me so I knew my size. 

She asked what size I was wearing at that time and told me to pick up my size and a size bigger in bras that I liked. So I picked up a few I believe I picked up 4, so I had 2 different styles each and 2 different sizes that could fit me.

We went in to the changing room and she told me to put on the style I liked the most first in the bigger size that I picked so she turned away and I took my bra off and put the one I liked on. Once done she turned round and asked me how I felt in it how I liked the style and then checked the straps for me at the back making sure they fit me perfectly and making sure they wasn't to tight on me.

I did that with the other bra I picked once we found what size I was. Through the experience the lady made sure it wasn't awkward having a normal conversation with me while putting them on and then explaining what would look best for me and my shape.

When I first went I thought she was going to measure me with a measuring tape and do it that way, but I guess not.

If you're going to get a fitting and are a little nervous about it as you don't know what to expect I hope this has made you feel better about going.

Just remember if you get measured in a branded store like Ann Summers then your size will only fit in there bras within that shop but the size should be quite close or the same to what you would buy from other places like primark. 

The size could also be different if you're on your period as your belly bloats so could your boobs (the lady I had told me this while being measured, I knew my belly bloated but I never noticed my boobs changing size).
