Hey, does anyone recommend any OBs in Brampton that deliver at Brampton Civic?

I haven’t not had a period this long since 2019 and was getting off birth control and that had messed with my hormones as much as the bc it’s self. My period were ever 25-27 days until a January and I had 2 periods Cd 40. I’m not sure what is even causing it to suddenly do this and my ob office is crap and no help w...

I still nurse my two year old, does any moms know about this medication and if it’s safe? My obgyn said it’s safe but I want triple confirmation… Idek how I hav...

So my partner and I are wanting to try for baby 2, I’ve been off the pill for a few months and we have made efforts to be healthier, take vitamins etc. however I’m still clueless about my cycles as they’ve always been so incredibly irregular and inconsistent. I fell pregnant with our son on contraception and I guess...

I am a FTM, 39+2, I currently have a Brazilian wax scheduled for tomorrow, I’ve only ever had 2 other Brazilian wax and 3 bikini waxes.

So my baby girl is 10 months old. I opted to not go on birth control after she was born so anyway. Me and my husband were intimate on the 31 which was a day after I was supposed to ovulate and now for the last few days I’ve had crazy smell sensitivity, food aversions, a headache and back pain. My period is supposed ...

Hi! Is anyone here injecting blood thinners daily that would be happy to share their experience? I’m really worried about injecting myself so any advice would be appreciated 🙏

Has anyone had provera? I've been recommended it and would like to know others experience on it

Going to obgyn practices with multiple providers is the most frustrating thing. Every week you see someone different, you get a different personality a different perspective, different instructions. They are so busy to schedule a medical induction but I’ve been asking to get a membrane sweep and it seems they all gi...

Along with cramps, lower back pain, rib pain, and a sudden urge to use the toilet. I've only had diarrheoa 1-2 times a day for the last 3 days, have had normal stools as well. No weird change in my discharge or the consistency of it. Both our cats have become very clingy and sticking closeby too. Is this worth ringi...

I started taking contraceptive pills (desogestrel) a month after giving birth. Then I noticed that I gained back almost 7kg in 3 months. I have never been this heavy in all my life (80kg). I stoped taking the pills or any kind of contraceptive 2 months ago, I went on diet and exercise but nothing seems to work. Ho...

I have taken desogestrel (Cerelle) for years and have never had a period whilst on it. I restarted it (with a generic brand) 6 weeks after giving birth and was period-free for 2 months, but now I’m currently having a period. Is this normal? I’ve never missed a pill. Google gives me mixed responses. I don’t want to h...

What contraceptive method would you recommend is best?

Anyone else having this issue??

I showered and used soap and scrubbed an hour ago and my vagina just smells. Is this normal? What can I do to fix it?

No Im not talking SA or birth control failure. Im wondering how one can willingly have unprotected sex and how a man can willingly nut in the vagina knowing that woman is not on birth control and doesn’t take a plan b the next morning and calls it an “accident”. Like nah you was trying or just being reckless. U...
