I've been on some kind of birth control for way too long and after having my daughter, I don't want any more hormones. For those successfully non pregnant and not of birth control, what's the best way to track your cycle?

This has nothing to do with my kid but I need a response from my fellow ladies. Bactrim or Macrobid for UTI? I’ve read some scary things about Bactrim.

Hello, So I was told that I can’t get on Letrozole until I get my BMI under 40! I have another appointment set with a different doctor. But in the meantime my plan in the mean time is to try taking some vitamins/meds I’ve seen other PCOS girlies take. I plan to take: - EU Natural Conception For Her - Prenatal ...

What contraceptive did you use after birth? Why?(I had a c section 2 weeks ago) I’d like something I can get off of whenever and not have to wait for my body to regulate to get pregnant. Definitely don’t want to be on the pill again. I’m thinking about the IUD but it kinda scares me lol

My implant keeps itching and having reactions. What contraception works for you? I’m having it removed to change to something else

Has anyone ever gotten an abortion and did the pill instead of surgery? If you have, what was your experience like?

Has anyone had contractions implanted before ? If yes , how is like? Any nagative side effects? Is it really good for our hormones !!!!!!!!? (I’ve got an appointment for it but I’m doubtful about getting it )

Particularly if you still haven’t gotten your period back. I’m 8 months PP and still haven’t gotten my period back (I’m bf) so I have no cycle to track. I want to try natural cycles and it says you can use it without a period but I was hoping others have used it this way

Since I’ve had my son my periods have been crazy sometimes I’m bleeding for 2 weeks and sometimes there’s barely any time between one period ending and the other starting I started taking the contraceptive desogestrel not long after I had him and when I mentioned this to the nurse because I thought it might be the p...

Birth control that doesn't make us gain weight? Since being on the desogestrel pill I've been constantly gaining at a noticeable rate. Can't even fit in my jeans anymore. I used to have the coil but don't want to have that again just yet. The injection made me feel absolutely crazy.

Hey I've just had a call from the hospital to say that I have a urine infection and need antibiotics. I have no symptoms at all, is this possible with a UTI?? My appointment was a week ago (when I gave the urine sample), and have probably felt my best yet so far in this pregnancy in this past week 😂 I'll take the…

So basically I took low dose of letrozole , metformin etc none of them worked but then got pregnant only because we did IVF (took all the drugs). it was classified by the dr as a failed cycle due to only producing 2 small eggs so we didn’t have an egg retrieval . We were told to not have sex and wait next month for...

Hi guys so I has my implant in nov 2022. And I didn’t get my period for more than a year. However for the past I’d say 3 to 4 months I get my period. The thing is that I get every one half to two weeks. For like 3 days and then it stop. Is it Period or am I bleeding. I don’t know. I would really appreciate if anyone...

Hello fellow Lakewood Moms! My husband and I are still trying to climb out of the pain cave after a miscarriage a couple weeks ago. I was just over 8 weeks and landed in the ER & had to go BACK for a D&C bc I was sick… it took forever to get in touch with my current OB. She’s so smart but I think her practice just h...

Hi ladies, hope you all are doing well. I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and my endocrinologist has prescribed me with 50mg medicine for now. My question is does it really effect your reproductive system as I'm trying to conceive too. Does anyone of you take thyroid medicine?

This might get a bit long, so here's a tldr: what, if anything, helped regulate your cycle? I had my third child via c-section in January 2022. This was my third c-section and I had a tubal at the same time. My period returned around October 2022 when I stopped breastfeeding. My period has always been heavy and la...

Hi! Does anyone know what “obs vic ach gtt” would mean? I’ve went onto badger notes this morning & there’s an appointment made for next week but I have no idea of anything about it or who to even contact about it? Thanks ✨

I recently was prescribed Slynd birth control because my periods have been insanely irregular (3 weeks long) and it’s only been a week so far but I’m noticing a severe shift in my mood. I am extremely irritable and made angry by things that don’t usually make me angry and it’s getting frustrating because I don’t lik...

Since having my LO. I have been dealing with some bad dryness as well as a yeast infection that I cannot seem to get rid of!! And it’s driving me nuts!! I cannot do simply daily tasks without it hurting or itching. I know might be too tmi, but IDC!! I NEED HELP!! I’ve tried vagisil wipes ( medicated ones ), I’ve tri...

Hi all, I’m based in Sydney Australia. Due to various complications during my pregnancy & postpartum I cannot get any birth control that is hormonal so only option is copper IUD as it’s hormone free. I have never had one, I googled & most say it’s extremely painful to be inserted. I can’t be sedated as I won’t hav...
