Has anyone seen the news on the pill being a class one carcinogenic? Will anyone be stopping taking it because of this and what do you plan on using instead?

Looking for insights please… So our little girl is 11 months old and we’ve always said that we would wait a good few years between having anymore and thats if we do have any more (pregnancy and first 6 months PP were really hard for us) The thing is our sex life is taking a hit because neither of us like condoms ...

Has anyone else chosen to go on a progesterone-only birth control pills after baby and had weird results from it? I’m only about a month in to taking it, so maybe my body still needs more time to adjust… but I’ve pretty much had a nonstop period since starting these pills 😭 I had 2 distinct periods a week apart,…

I am indecisive on what contraception to go, if anyone is on either of these please give your feedback on how it has been for you?

I just found out I have a UTI and I’m due to give birth any day now. Also scheduled for induction on Sunday. When I asked the midwife if this changes anything for baby or the birth she said no, but after googling it I found this might mean the infection can get passed to baby at birth and bring some complications, s...

Packed everything under the sun for my boy to go out and about for the day. But forgot my sanitary products! Currently lined my knickers with a nappy …. Does the same job right 🙈 This is a new low! Gotta laugh or you’ll cry right?! 😳😅

I got the Implant a few days ago and I’m still bleeding every single day, it’s not heavy bleeding but it’s getting in the way of my life. Especially my sex life. How long is this gonna go on for???

I already have a child (3) and have been off of my contraceptive pill (mini pill) which I was advised to take every day without a break, I have taken it for 3 years without fail.

Hi ladies Im having problems with a decrease in my sex drive when my husband ready to have sex I NEVER be in the mood I don’t know what it could be but is there any kind of medication I can take to help boost my sex drive?

So I had intercourse with my husband the day before yesterday and I took the morning after pill that following night. We then had intercourse again in the night and he didn’t use pull out. Do I need to take the pill again or is it fine as I’ve taken it already?

I’m having a hard time deciding which birth control to go on. I’m breastfeeding so using something that won’t affect it is plus. I’ve had good experience with the patch but if I miss one I end up pregnant so that’s fun. But I loved the idea of having a ‘period’, made me feel semi normal. I had okay experience with ...

I’m done with pads, I refuse to use tampons, and WTF is a menstrual cup? 😭 I’ve considered period underwear but it doesn’t seem sanitary… like how often do I have to change them out? Grateful for any input <3

Hello ladies. So, I'm after advice please, mainly if any has had any personal experience on this. I currently take Cerelle tablets for my contraception (have done for many years).

Has anyone taken this before ? I started bleeding after taking the combination pill, I’m awaiting a scan to check my womb lining but the doctor has given me tranexamic acid to take for 7 days to calm down the bleeding, I’m a bit worried because the nhs website says there’s an increased risk of heart attack and blood...

Not sure whatelse I can try

Is it just me or is anybody else experiencing consistent yeast infections? I got tested and was positive for yeast infection and it’s not going away so it’s making me think I have something more serious but it’s absolutely impossible to get tested again because they are so rude on the phone. They just keep prescribi...
