Then go has anybod...

Hey! I am on progesterone but wasn’t told that it needed to be taken at the same time everyday. I have been taking it everyday without fail but usually whenever I wake up and whenever I go to bed which varies. Do you think this will be a problem?

Hi moms! Has anyone got pregnant after having a baby and being on birth control? I had my first almost 3 months ago and got a depo shot at my two weeks checkup. Now my boyfriend did the deed inside of me a couple days ago and I’m just over thinking it all mostly cause I’ve heard a lot that you become more fertile af...

Hello ladies! I'm getting really worried as I changed my cat's litter tray this morning and now I'm scared that I contracted toxoplasmosis 😭 I am 17+2 weeks pregnant and I previously had a miscarriage last October. I used gloves, bleach, and soap to wash the cat litter tray after I emptied it directly in the…

Hi Ladies, Before pregnancy I was taking Gederal combined pill and was plagued with migraines, I didn’t link this together at the time but have been migraine free since. I was prescribed Marvelon at my 6 week check but have generally felt rubbish since taking it (changes in mood, headaches, tiredness) which worsen...

I’m five months postpartum and I’ve randomly come out with a white pimple on the inside wall of my vagina. It feels sore and stings when I pee. Has anyone ever had anything like this before

Cause I can’t reach from behind so have always gone from the front but now the bump is getting bigger I’m finding it harder to do.. any tips out there? I know it’s tmi I’m so sorry!!

So I have a pretty unique situation going on. I used to have the Skyla IUD. I got it taken out in June 2022. Got pregnant with my daughter end of November, beginning of December. Right after my 6 week checkup after giving birth, I got the Mirena put in. So around sometime in September. 19th of April, I got it taken ...

I am 3 months pp and I have until Wednesday to make my decision: Nexplanon or Mirena IUD? Both terrify me but I need to pick one or the other😅 I am kinda traumatized from early postpartum so getting the IUD scares me, but getting the Nexplanon in my arm scares me too. I want to try for another baby in 3 years, so…

Hey beauties. I’ve got super painful thrush, and have been given canestan cream and the pessary. Now I’ve never used pessary before, but reading online it clearly says not to use the applicator if pregnant. What Shal I do? Confused, sore and in pain!

Hi ladies I'm looking for some advice. I met my consultant at 28 weeks and she asked if I'd thought about contraception. I said I was hoping to monitor ovulation etc as I have done for years but she said that this wasn't good enough because it relies on the user too much to be effective and I would need something ac...

Hi, I’ve just been prescribed sertraline and would like to know how people have got on with it. Does it actually help? What’s the side affects etc… Good and bad experiences welcome, thanks x

Reading the book IT STARTS WITH THE EGG and I see it recommends supplementing with hormone DHEA. Does anyone take that? What brands do you recommend?

5 weeks PP got my postnatal check next week. I think I have a vaginal wall prolapse. It feels heavy down there, and I can see a lump, it's quite uncomfortable. I'm thinking of booking a Mummy MOT. Does anyone have any experience of a prolapse or a Mummy MOT. Thanks.

Hi girls! I’m just wondering if anyone else here has gone back on the mini-pill postpartum and found that it’s making them bleed?! I’ve always been on Cerazette (Desogestrel) for years and years before my baby boy and didn’t use to get any periods at all!! The occasional breakthrough bleed if I was a little late tak...

Has anyone ever conceived on first cycle of letrozole? Just out of curiosity 😊

Can the first cycle after stopping the pill be long? I'm on CD30 and negative tests and no sign of AF either, no idea how long my cycles are so nothing to go off which is frustrating :(
