Time for annual renewal of the hosting costs for @bitsandbumps. It's a pretty dormant podcast: only 13 episodes and the last one was 2 years ago. My podcast energy now going towards https://t.co/zGp5M0yjLz.
Should I let B&B die? or keep paying for it?

@nomadicgp @abcnews #IlovemyLARC (mirena) because
- having my periods makes me badly anaemic
- mirena makes me barely spot for a period
- mirena has made my skin amazing
- implanon made me spot daily and get acne
- I kept breakthrough bleeding with the pill
- some pills gave me acne

Winning!

[Ash @dr_ashwitt]

[Penny Wilson @nomadicgp]

@jaz_medicine @abcnews Ok I'll start.

#IlovemyLARC because
- barely noticeable periods
- I don't have to remember a pill every single day
- no accidental babies

Winning! Now your turn.

[Bubbly Activist Junior Doc 🌈 @jaz_medicine]
