Since my husband has been wearing a condom the sex has not been feeling as good. Can someone recommend a good brand of condom or any other recommendations to help a girl out? (Please don’t recommend no condom, I’ve just had 2 babies back to back, and don’t want to risk falling pregnant at the moment).

Any experience of the Mirena coil please? I used to be on the pill but hated the way it made me feel and think the Mirena coil may be the best option going forwards but I’m worried! Please be honest, good and bad, thank you x

Hey moms have any of u had a good experience with iud birth control? Or any form of birth control that doesn't cause weight gain on hormone changes..

After taking Letrozole, I get told I have high risk for multiples because I have too many follicles. This month is a miss! Anyone else in this position? If so, what did your dr advise you to do the following month?

Is there any other explanation for a man having a year infection when you don't besides the obvious? He says he thinks he has one. But he's never had one before.... I know i don't have one... and we don't have sex very often because we co sleep with our 2 year old. I tried to google but it's not very helpful. 😬

Hi all, I was out on the pill (desogestrel) after having my LO in Jan and if has never agreed with me, always made me moody and I now have an ovarian cyst which I didn’t have before taking this pill so also feel it is responsible for. I am wanting to move away from the hormones and wondering if anyone has any experi...

This might be a little picky but I’m genuinely curious. I and in a two week wait, pretty early In it. 6 dpo ish but I’m having some odd discharge I will put in the comments. It’s very very thick and very very white.

I’m 11 days postpartum. Ever since I was a teen I knew I only wanted one or no kids, because I’m not very fond of them, and because I grew up raising my siblings. I love my daughter of course but I am absolutely uninterested in ever getting pregnant with another kid. So much so that I’ll probably abstain from sex un...

Kept having periods for 2 weeks after i gave birth so i got an ultrasound and they found out i have a cyst on my left ovary.

I was wondering what is everyone thinking/having as a contraception ?

Yesterday i had a smear and transvaginal exam. Today I’ve had abuse clump of jelly like discharge, funny clue. Could this be from the lubricant jelly from the exam? Has anyone experienced this?
