First cycle after stopping pill

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 :(

Still no period

I’m about 14 weeks pp and still haven’t had a period. I’m not breastfeeding and haven’t been for about 12 weeks. My healthcare provider said they can’t give me birth control until I start a period and I can’t be back on adderall for my ADHD until i’m on birth control, so i’m desperately waiting to have one. When did...

No birth control

How do you guys listengin to your own body, how do you know when you are ovulating? How is your period doing after giving birth? I am not using any birth control just looking at my app Flo for ovulation day, but this is new for me, because I always used birth control pills or implants 🤯🤯 I just want to do this…

Contraception

I’ve been on the pill for two months now and have recently had my periods. I’ve now been bleeding straight for two weeks now and my periods usually last for 6 days. I know it’s one of the side effects of the pill but because the blood is just like the usual periods, should I be praying as usual or should I wait till...

How to avoid splash back? Please help.

Gross. Tmi. All the things. So when I pee it splashes back and it'll stain under the seat. So you have to lift the seat in order to see it. My husband is the one seeing it and complained. I've tried adjusting myself all the way back, arching the back, controlling the flow but no luck. What am I doing wrong?

Explicit: Plan B pill

Okay so, let me first start off and say that I have a 4 month old, born via C-section. I don’t plan on getting pregnant. I fully intend to not get pregnant ever again. (I have 2 and me and my husband both agree that 2 is perfect for us.) Well, I started to get my period roughly 2-3 months ago. I had my period the w...

Nexplanon

Have any of you mammas gotten Nexplanon? It’s now available at my home clinic and I was thinking of getting it rather then going back on NuvaRing. I liked NuvaRing cause 1) there was the 1 week off and I still got a period AND it was only a light 3 day period. 2) I didn’t have to do anything daily just monthly. Bu...

Periods/ contraception pills

I got my period around 3 months postpartum and I went on the pill and been on it for just over a month but it seems to be giving me a period every 2 weeks. I asked the doctor to put me on the same one that I was on pre pregnancy but she put me on a different one and told me it’s basically the same thing. I don’t kno...

What birth control is everyone planning on using after they have their baby?

I came off birth control 3 years ago cause every single hormonal method I tried just messed me up in some way. We started using fertility tracking with temperature and condoms. But now I can't really track my BBT cause having a newborn I'm not sleeping consistently at all and I don't know if I trust condoms not to b...

Vaginal itching

Maybe tmi but has anyone else had any vaginal itching ? everything else seems fine down there and I don’t think it’s an infection or anything but It’s quite uncomfy and nothing really seems to soothe it. Should I book a gp appointment or is there anything that anyone can recommend??
