Hey! New to Lubbock, looking for good OB/GYN recommendations! Thanks:)

I can't stop crying. I've developed a UTI and need a wee so bad but just can't go/in so much pain 😭 I've drunk over a litre of water in last hour and still nothing. What do I do? I can't get antibiotics until next week

I had the mirena coil fitted on the 16th May. I was due my period around the 27th May. I started bleeding on the 29th May so presumed my period had arrived, however it’s been 9 days and I’m still bleeding. some days lighter and some days heavy that I’m leaking so I put this down to irregular bleeding due to the coil...

I went to urgent care this morning for what I think is a UTI. They did the test and came back with semi high white blood cells but the actual culture results won’t come back til Monday. He prescribed me Macrobid. Has anyone taken this while pregnant yet? He obviously said it’s safe but of course I’m paranoid.

My c section was nearly 5 months ago and all my periods have been extremely heavy which isn’t normal for me. It wakes me up in the night and I’m changing my pad 1-2 times an hour. If I stand up I have to quickly go to the toilet as I loose a lot of blood. I have had my smear which was ok and my doctor has referred m...

So a bit of a back story I take a medicine that gives me irregular periods alright no problem. When I went on it years ago the doctor warned me it would happen that's fine. Now it's been almost 4 months since I gave birth and I'm taking my medicine like I'm supposed to but I'm getting regular periods? Is this normal...

Anyone have any recommendations for midwife in Scarborough, I go for my confirmation in a few weeks but I like to be prepared. Only used a o.b before

Has anyones LO had chicken pox yet? Does this look anything like it? Waiting on a call back from doctors but getting anxious Photos in comments

I’m 4 and a half months pp and it took me a while to have sex again with my partner and I’ve been on the pill but I just have a gut feeling you know.. anyway I think I will be able to cope with it but I don’t think he will be able to and I really don’t want a termination😩any…

Has anyone used this pill to stop periods? It says to take 3 times a day?? How many hrs do I leave it? I thought it would be one pill to take? Also I don’t know exactly when I’m going to come on… feel like it could be today or tomorrow will this matter ?

Any experiences with it everyone’s different but does it hurt was it good for anyone? Reviews ?

Anyone have experience with sex within the 6 weeks PP period. And is it safe? My partner and I are having sex again but i know you’re technically not supposed to until doctors approval. I have one more week to go and I have the sex drive and not sure if I should stop. I mean I’m not in pain and my C section incisi...

I need some suggestions on low dose bc. I’m breaking out, can’t loose weight, have low Libido, wacky periods and other terrible symptoms. Things I have tired are: pills, depo shot, and implant none of which have worked out for me. I would really like to steer away from the iud. I have a 17 month old and I’m not quit...

So I had my first depo shot yesterday. Me and my fiancé are wanting to get frisky on Saturday (I’m 5months pp). The doctor said to wait 7 days before having unprotected sex but the thing is I can’t use condoms as they make me very itchy and sore after using them. My question is what are the chances of getting pre...

How do you feel about male gynaecologist and obstetrician. Do you think they take women’s health seriously? Do you wish there was more women who specialise in that field or don’t you mind? Just want peoples views.

Mamas! We’ve been trying to convince for some time now. We will be starting clomid this month. Any mamas used clomid? Side effects? Did it work the first time?

My baby is 8 weeks old and I would like 2 close in age but not too close in age so I've decided to go onto a mini pill contraceptive ( I'm breastfeeding). I had issues before oregnancy when on regivedon from side effects fron the pill...headaches..low mood..depression etc. So i went off in and within a few months s...

So I’ve worried myself, I went to the pharmacist for some hayfever relief and she told me I can’t take anything, so I called my midwife to ask the same thing and she said you can take piriton no problem, so I’ve bought the over the counter ones and been taking since. For some reason I googled it today and a lot of...

I am currently trying to conceive and I was on birth control pills which I recently stopped. I jist wanted to ask how long it took to get pregnant for you giys after stopping birch control pills

I just found out about 3 weeks ago that I have PCOS and I was put on birth control. I was put on the patch and after a week I had bad headaches so I had to switch to the pill, I took a 3 day break between the birth control and during the break I have sex. I was ovulating about 3 days ago and today I started spotting...
