What are we using for contraception? Rubber doesn’t feel the same, and I was on the pills pre-pregnancy but I feel like it messed with my hormones too much. Shit scared of falling pregnant so quickly so I need to use something!

Anyone experienced longer cycles after getting off of birth control postpartum? I stopped taking BC about 6-8 months ago and my period was super regular while I was on the BC but since I’ve stopped taking it my cycle is like 45 days??

I've lived here for 4 years. It's white tile. I've owned the same mop the whole time. For no apparent reason, after I mopped this week, the floor doesn't look clean. I've mopped for 3 days in a row now and it still looks shitty. I've detail cleaned the mop head, and felt it with my fingers. There's nothing wrong wit...

Hey ladies! I’m 12 weeks PP from a c-section. How soon did you get on birth control? Which one did you choose and why? Pros and cons?

I keep seeing posts on here of women getting pregnant while on the pill 😫 I’ve taken the pill before but I only ever went a few months on it because the mood swings were horrible. So far I feel good and on the second pack. I’m VERY exact with taking it at the same time everyday and now I still have this fear…

I’ve been prescribed domperidome for two weeks. I’m curious do I need to taper off if I’m only doing two weeks and if so how did you wean off them?

I recently had my testosterone levels checked(22 yo female- mother of one who’s 6 months old almost 7) I’ve always had menstrual issues, that being said they have always put me on birth control to fix the issue. I was on the depo from 8th grade up till I graduated senior year. Anyway my testosterone is very low and ...

I’m due soon and I’ve noticed I picked up the advanced tub wasn’t sure if it matters ?

I found out mid September that I have a 1.2cm ovarian cyst on my right ovary. Everyone I’ve talked to has said that I’d need surgery for it and it definitely has me terrified cause I want more kids. The soonest I can get in my gynecologist office is December unless they have sooner days I can come in. This came abou...

Am I supposed to have periods when I’ve got the mirena coil in, or is this the one that stops periods? TIA

Did anyone else have anxiety being on Mirena (bc) I feel like my anxiety has been worse and I haven’t had a panic attack in about two years.

Currently down to 1 pill a day. Just nervous and was wondering if anyone else was in the same boat? Thanks :)

anyone else needing to use the toilet more for number 2?

Before pregnancy I was soo against bc. Now that we have our little guy, we really don’t want to get pregnant again. My birthing experience was a little traumatic for me. At my 6 week appointment I turned down bc but now we don’t want to have sex. I need a bc that won’t cause to much acne(I have a clear face and in t...

Hello, I had a question for you Mom ‘s who have used nexplanon. Did it make you gain weight like crazy?

This is my first time on Nexplanon so I figured this is the...

Sorry ladies if this is tmi but i’m a little concerned, i’ve had a lot of discharge recently which i thought was a little bit of toilet paper residue.

I had a UTI just 4 weeks ago that led to a lot of pain and it went awya after a week of antibiotics. A few days ago, I had slight burning while peeing so I asked the GP if I should send a urine sample for testing just in case and she agreed. I've just found out the test showed an infection, but I haven't had any mor...
