Fingers and toes crossed for this cycle 🤞🏼 with a bit of help from letrozole 🤞🏼

Im 8 weeks postpartum and I’ve been debating on if I want birth control or not, I feel like it’s going to mess with my hormones because they’re already bad as it is!! but I don’t want another kid right now and I’m beyond scared to be active with my husband just in case I end up pregnant again so I’m kind of lost o...

Hi ladies I’ve been on the depo for year now I’ve heard really bad things about this causing brain tumors I’m so scared I’ll get one I’m thinking coming off this now should I be okay or should I get checked to see if I have one I’m so so scared 😞

Has anyone got pregnant while on the pill if so how did you know? I’ve not had a period in almost 7 weeks 😬 x

Didn’t know where else to ask, I got the IUD maybe a week or so before my period was due to start and was told to expect my periods to get lighter and even go away within at least 3-6 months. I just got my first period after getting it put in and it’s already so light I don’t even need a pad to collect anything. I g...

I'm interested to hear people's experiences with natural cycles. I am currently on the implant and have been for about a year. However I keep having 2 periods a month. I've spoken to the doctors in the past and they have just given me the pill to take. I don't want to get pregnant again yet but will maybe consider...

Hey has anyone had any experience with the contraceptive injections? I’m a little worried due to the possible side effects which are weight gain, deteriorating bone health and cancer. I’m not planning on taking it long term and at the moment this method seems to be the only suitable option for me … I’ve tried other ...

Showed up almost immediately, but it doesn't look like it has color to me. What do you ladies think?

Does this look like thrush? I’ve tried wiping it off already it doesn’t budge.

So a little background on my UTI journey started last year. I had a UTI in June 2023 and it was due to e.coli, I took 7 days Macrobid. Then I got another one Sept 2023, took another 10 day round of Macrobid, also did urinalysis and it said e.coli. Then in Dec 2023 I got another UTI and this time I went to the pharma...

Beginning my next stims cycle Saturday and using Lupron for the first time. My protocol is slightly different this round. Any side effects or noticeable symptoms while using Lupron? My clinic has me on it for two weeks.

Are we all on contraception? I don’t want another baby anytime soon but contraception is making me bleed 24/7 and moody and hormonal. My doctor has recommended the coil but I’m scared if the insertion and side effects. Like I say I don’t want another just yet but I don’t like birth control. Any advice?

My husband and me are planning to do natural family planning after I give birth. We were thinking that I will follow my cycle by keeping track of my core temperature, probably combined with an app and on my fertile days use condom or not have sex at all. Does anyone do it like this or similar? What's the success?💓

What method are you using after birth? Why?

I knew the laws and culture when I moved here, but was just in shock about my contraceptive appointment today. I’ve been on Depo since my 6 week postpartum check. That’s ALL I WANTED. I was lectured for about 20-30 minutes about being one and done by a man. “You’re so young, your husband should not be getting a vase...

Anyone else dealing with stinky armpits? I have never had this issue before, the pp hormones are killing my vibe 😀. I shower twice a day and burn through my deodorant like nobody’s business. Does anyone have recommendations on a good deodorant?

Anyone ever accidentally taken a double dose?? Don't know if I'm just going a bit mad - in hospital and have an injection every 12hrs. Just had one but just after she did it I had a bit of deja vu that I already had one this morning! She says there's nothing on my notes. I don't know what to do

Im on an IUD for my birth control. (Never been on one before. I've been on it for about 10 months or so.) The past two months, i've had crazy spotting, and deep cramping and nausea. But no full-blown period, and I always have periods. So I just wanted advice of if that seems normal or if there could be something wrong.
