Contraception doesn't seem to agree with my body since having my daughter everything I've tried I'm constantly bleeding. So I've chosen not to use Contraception what other ways are there that you can track instead of relying on BC

Anyone tried VCF Contraceptive before ? If so, what are your thoughts ? I’m thinking to try it.

After having my son, I've been on the depo shot (about 10 months now), and i was told I wouldn't get my period while in the shot. About 2 months ago, I got a sort of period.

Indianapolis area - I am pregnant with my third child and need an OB. My previous doctor (the best doctor I’ve ever had for anything) left her practice to only be a laborist and I am devastated!

I just found out that I’m currently pregnant with baby #2 (yay!!) which means i’m going to need to be on the hunt for an OBGYN. my last OBGYN experience wasn’t great and i didn’t get along with her whatsoever, so i’d really like to change that this time. i’d especially love to find an OB who i can develop an actua...

What is everyone preferred birth control options? I tried the pill for like 8 years did not like the way it made my body feel. My Dr offered the IUD Mirena, but all the side effects are nerve wracking, like implanting in the uterus if you are breastfeeding which I am. What is y’all’s favorite?

Hey everyone! First pregnancy here, and I'm now 32 weeks, in the last five days I have noticed I literally need a wee every hour I'm awake for! I know frequently needing the toilet happens, but is this too often?! Unsure on whether to contact GP about potential urine infection.
