No contraception - anyone else?

Has anyone else not gone back on the pill, implant, coil etc. after having their baby? Just tracking their cycle? I’m really debating about whether to come off the pill because, it’s just messing with my mental health and libido. Is this working for anyone else? Have you been successful? My OH would obviously be u...

Evening primrose oil

Are any of you taking the evening primrose oil? I see good and bad things about it and I’ve been taking it for 3 days but I’m scared now because I’ve been seeing a couple of bad things about it.

Would you consider this a sign ?! 🤣

I ordered ONE my choice (emergency contraceptive comparable to plan b) on Amazon and they sent three ?? I doubled checked if I mistakenly ordered three and I did not lol. Maybe I’ll take all three!!

Birth control

Hey there all. I had my nexplanon removed almost 2 weeks ago now. When I got it removed, the OB said that there's a possibility that I could get pregnant right away. I'm wondering if anyone has conceived after nexplanon removal WITHOUT having a period first?

What are you taking for contraception.

I used to use the Evra Patch for years but now I'm over 35 apparently I can't use it. They've given me Desogestrel. I've only been taking it a few days but I have been feeling very sick and not myself. I'm still breastfeeding so know I'm limited which pills I can take. I don't like the idea of invasive contraception...

Birth control - please help

So I’m 8 months PP and exclusively breastfeeding. I’m not on any contraception for no reason other than i literally don’t know what to go for. I know i don’t want any more kids in the next 5 years, if ever (i have 2 kids already). So i don’t think going on the pill would be a wise option if i know ill be on it for 5...

Group B Strep

Anyone else had Group B Strep found after a vaginal swab? Had thrush and was treated at the time the swab was taken, all cleared up now but just got a call to say this was found too and to let my midwife know. Google can be a bit scary, so just looking for anyone else’s experience and what it entailed for them, di...

Pregnant

I need to find an ob that won't ask about a primary dr. I just found out today that I'm having another one and my last ob wanted something to prove that I was pregnant but this time I dont have the time. I don't have a primary and dont wanna go to a random place to get a pregnancy test done, just so an ob will see me

Am I foul for this?

I take half showers in between showers. For example, last night I went to the gym, before the gym I washed my pits, down there (front and back) and my feet. After the gym, I double cleanse. I go to sleep and in the afternoon I washed my pits, down there, and feet. It's a nice hot day so I enjoyed some sun. I plan on...

Sharing a towel with roommates?

2 guys and 1 of their wives all share a towel. No it’s not a throuple- just a couple and a male roommate sharing a towel. They literally only own one single towel. “You’re clean when you get out of the shower so what’s the problem?” Please tell me I’m not crazy thinking this is nuts and absolutely disgusting

Birth control

So I just stopped my BC shot beginning of March after being on it since January of 2023. So my question is how do period panties work? Do you wear a pad or not? Can I wear the panties and just a tamp? Also who uses the cup thing how do you like it? Is it easy and cost effective? I’ve haven’t had a real period since ...
