Can anyone recommend birth control that doesn’t have much hormones and doesn’t make you crazy 🤪 I was on the mini pill due to feeding and I didn’t stop bleeding and my hormones were going crazy, I’m due to have the coil fitted but I’ve heard so many bad stories about them getting lost or needing surgery to get…

I'm going in for my iud today and was told by one of the nurses that I can take 800mg of motrin and 1000 mg of Tylenol together before I go in and another nurse told me just to drink 600mg of motrin. I've heard that your not supposed to mix pain medicine together so I'm still indecisive if I should drink both or not.

Does the depo shot really give headaches & weight gain?

How long did it take everyone to get their period back? I went on birth control at my 6 week check up after having my twin girls. Due to moving I didn’t have a doctor anymore so I couldn’t get my birth control anymore and I haven’t had a period since even before I went on it. Has anyone else had it to where there pe...

Anyone on nuvaring?? This is my 1st month and I been light headed, painful cramps can literally feel my ovaries in pain, bloated and hungry all the time. Are this common side effects! I hate birth control because it makes my body hurt and gain weight but I don’t want baby 2 yet, we want to wait.

Any thoughts please ladies

Do you use any lube to insert it? I'm finding a bit of a burning sensation after I apply it (vaginally).

So around 4 months postpartum I noticed something was wrong down there and thought it was a uti. I went and got checked and they said it wasn’t but prescribed me the antibiotics for it anyway. Kept going back and forth until I went to my gynecologist and found out it was BV . I’ve had it once before years ago and ...

So I was told to start taking them 1 by mouth day and 1 vaginally if me and hubby don't have sex , am I supposed to poke a hole in it or leave it as is?

I had a clbaby by C-section a week and a half ago and I was wondering if it's ok to have sex because I'm horny and I really want to and my Incision is starting to not hurt anymore I was wondering if anyone has and advice for me

sorry if this is too TMI for this group, just wanted to see where ladies in similar stages are with this. when do y'all think it's "safe" to go without condoms? i am 12 weeks postpartum. i have been on the mini pill for 3.5 weeks, and currently on my second period cycle PP. we are using condoms. i would like to stop...

How hard it will be to clean under these little pits, under the no necks and between all the jelly rolls 😩 🥰 Mama’s make sure you’re checking between all those jelly rolls regularly.

Hello, I’m located in Houston Texas and I’m looking for a OBGYN. I already had my baby, i need one for my own personal care. Can anyone recommend a good one? I have Medicaid too

Really embarrassed to ask this. I feel like I should know. At the hospital they told us not to clean "in" her vagina (duh) but then I started to debate what the nurse actually meant. I'm supposed to clean in between her labia right?? Just not IN her vagina.

I’m 11 weeks pp and I’ve been on the mini pill (desogestrel) for 19 days now and I’ve woken up to bleeding and it looks like a normal period. Is this normal as I didn’t think you were meant to get periods when on the pill or is this just with the combined pill? I’m confused 🧐

Does anyone have the Oura ring and use it for natural birth control? Do you think it’s reliable? What apps do you use with it?

If you have questions, send your pictures to your doctor

HELP! Please 🥺 My vulva is completely flared up! It’s bright red, itchy, swollen and has teared from the scratching I’ve somehow done in my sleep from the irritation. Long story short, I got some new underwear and did a load of washing, my partner being helpful hung out the washing on the airer and I put on the…
