I’m a little over 2 weeks PP and I’m looking into contraceptives. I was taking the pill for 10+ years prior to getting pregnant and idk if I want to go on it again.

I am 7 weeks pp and my fiancé and I had sex last night, unprotected (we are dumb and weren’t thinking in the moment). What can I use for emergency contraception as plus size?

Anyone take Sertraline and noticed any side effects? My GP was useless telling me it’s up to me if I want to increase from 100mg to 150mg after I’ve explained low mood etc for a while now and would barely give any support pushing it to me to decide rather than advise or help or anything. I’ve not really had any side...

Does anybody have the arm implant birth control and have any side effects? Good or bad, I’d like to know them all 😅 I’m trying to decide which birth control I should use.

I’m currently about 6weeks postpartum. I have a ob appointment Tuesday and want to get back on birth control. What’s the best one to use when breast feeding?

Does having a wee after sex have any impact on trying to conceive? I try to stay laying down for 10 mins but then I have to go for a wee, as if I don’t I seem to always get a UTI. Obviously then when I wipe straight after, there is a lot on the tissue - could this have a negative affect on TTC?

Has anyone been using primrose oil vaginally? I have been taking it orally for a couple weeks but want to try it vaginally because I feel like that will progress things much faster.

Hi ladies I've had three MCs sadly and unsure if I'm pregnant for this cycle (will find out next week). I contacted my GP and they said they can't prescribe me anything to reduce chances of MC again and they referred me to the hospital. I haven't received a letter yet tho...
