This is TMI but I need some advice… had unprotected sex last night, did not think anything as we always withdraw and it has worked fine for us… EXCEPT after, I felt secretion that was very liquid and sticky, and immediately my mind was like, this is not made by my body… so I asked my husband if he felt c*m before wi...

I’m literally wearing a Post partum diaper I got in one of my prep baskets. All so I can free bleed at night instead of use a tampon bc in just one day I’ve gone thru my entire collection of undies. No tampon will hold and I have zero pads. 😐😩 so diaper it is

I started taking the mini pill over a month ago now and I’ve been bleeding for weeks, light bleeding and just pink blood with period between the light bleeding, is this normal? I really thought with the mini pill you don’t bleed not even for a period?

So AF didn’t come this time round, was doing so well👎🏼😞, clinic have prescribed me some more provera and upped my dose of letrozole from 2.5mg to 5mg, so fingers crossed!

Hi all, I recently had a fresh embryo transfer and started spotting from 3 days past transfer and then very heavy bleeding (exactly like period) started from 6 days past transfer.

I remember getting my period very young I was in 4th grade I stayed behind a grade in kindergarten. My mom told me what a period was.how to clean after yourself. But I felt embarrassed I felt like I was the only one taking a pad to the restroom I would hide it in my pocket or sweater my mom didn’t make me a little ...

Very much TMI but is anyone else getting sore spots on their vagina from wearing a pad 24/7? It’s making peeing way worse than it needs to be! Any tips if anyone has?

Do any of you ladies have any experience with norethindrone .35 mg birth control. My OB put me on this kind due to me breast feeding and said it’s possible I won’t have a period. What are the long term effects of this medication and will it mess with my fertility?

I've been advised to stop my progesterone pessaries at 34 weeks. I'll be 34 weeks tomorrow so do I stop then or keep going up till 34 + 6?

Hey ladies, So I got the nexplanon birth control implant in my arm about 2 months ago. The first month I had my period and when it ended after about a week I got it again.

Apologies for the TMI early on a Monday morning.... I've just been to the bathroom and I've got a definite orange ish stain on my white underwear. It's not loads, perhaps a teaspoon amount?

Just curious about other people's opinions/experiences on the various forms of birth control after birth before youre ready to try again. My husband and I want another baby, but obviously not immediately. We're planning for at least 18 months before we try again. I got a mirana IUD in 2016 and had it until we dec...
