Hi all! I’m hoping someone on here can shed light, how on earth can I start medication for ovulation like a clomid etc to help me conceive when I don’t have periods due to my PCOS (how will I ever know when my cycle starts I’m so confused)

So I have been prescribed progesterone for my next pregnancy but I’m not sure when to start taking them because I’ve been getting vfl on test so I don’t know

I got my nexplanon removed and had a period 2 days after removal. My next period was due a week ago but nothing and I don’t think I’m pregnant. Has anyone else experienced this?

So Me and my hubby are trying for another baby and this is my first time being on birth control and I just came off of it in April and got my period back in July & have been off of it for 4 months now and I’m getting worried. I was wondering how many months did it take for you to get pregnant?

Hi, I’m currently 11W5D and I’ve been put on the progesterone supplement since 7w as the baby was measuring smaller than it should have at that point. I had a repeat scan at 9W and the baby was fine so my doctor prescribed me to continue the progesterone supplements until 12W and then stop it. Did you guys stop it ...

Anyone else thinking of trying primrose oil up there to help soften cervix and prevent tearing? I’m thinking about starting this at 37 weeks but don’t know anyone personally who has tried this. Everyone I know who has had a baby vaginally has teared and it’s a huge fear of mine🥲

Hi everyone has anyone decided on what contractaception they are thinking of having if your having some.... health visitor spoke to me about it so wondering what people were thinking?

I saw a post of a women saying was pregnant while being on depo and still using condoms, so it got me curious has anybody else gotten pregnant on the depo shot

If you aren't on it, how do you prevent pregnancy?

If you did, did the aesthetic play into it? If you didn’t, do you worry about infection? Yelling at your kid to clean under their foreskin? Haha

Looking for a good reliable period tracker. I want to get of my birth control but not ready for another one yet

Really random question but does anyone wear crotchless knickers as a normal daily thing? I ordered some just for a bit of fun with the husband and when I saw them I thought actually these might be the perfect way to avoid thrush! I haven't actually worn them yet but I was just wondering if anyone has or does and if ...

Hi ladies, I’ve recently started the progesterone only pill (it’s been a week) and today I suddenly felt nauseous, sick, palpitations, headache with dizziness. The common symptoms are headache and dizziness so wanted to ask if anyone else has had these symptoms with this certain pill! What symptoms have people had i...

I don't have much luck with birth control. ~ The implant made me bleed constantly and made me suicidal. ~ I'm allergic to the patch. ~ I can't use the ring or coil. ~ Injection made me bleed constantly. ~ Currently on the mini pill and again, bleeding constantly and very heavy. The only one I've not yet trie...

Is anyone else finding they feel the need to go for a wee more often but when they do, it’s just a trickle? The only time i have a ‘proper’ wee is first thing when i wake up, but the rest of the day is no more than a tablespoon each time i swear! I’m not sure if it’s baby laying on my bladder or whether it’s a uti...
