Birth control / weight loss

Is it possible to get on birth control and be on a weight loss/fitness journey ? I got off birth control (pill) bc it was making me feel horrible and gain weight, i was previously in nexplanon and got off of it bc i was having a hard time in my personal life and thought maybe it was contributing to it. I’ve been try...

Toilet paper- do you do Over or Under?

*check comments for picture* This is a point of tension between me and my partner 🤣 Luckily he doesn't change it too often but I put it back on so it's over and he does it under , its so silly to be annoyed at but it bothers me😩😅 Such a random poll and there's bigger issues but I'm curious what the majority do!

Go on the pill/not?

Hi, I'm considering other contraceptive methods but have always had a fear of struggling to get pregnant if I went on the pill? I don't know where this fear has come from but just feel uneasy taking daily tablets to control my hormones and worry when I went to try again for baby number 3 will it lower my chances o...

I’m screwed

I forgot to start my NEW pack of birth control pills a week and a half ago. I’ve had so much going on, and I usually leave them on the counter to remember. Well I reorganized some drawers in my kitchen and put them in my “junk” drawer. Totally forgot. I’m such an asshole. My app is all fucked up telling me my fertil...

TMI

How is a vagina supposed to smell? I am not sure whether I have a healthy smell or something is off. My whole life my VV smells, I would best describe it as mild armpit sweat, it's really a smell not so easy to describe. And sometimes it smells like sour milk with some urine? More often than not it even smells insid...

Birth control.. which is better?

I’ve been on the mini pill for about 2 months now and I’m still having heavy bleeding. My ob/gyn recommended either the depo-provera shot or an IUD. I have never had either of these before. So I don’t know much about them. If anyone has been on either of these could you share your experiences?

Destrogen pill

I've been put on to the destrogen pill as the GP suggested it was better for myself being over 35. Since being put on it after my 8 week check up from having my LO, I've bleed constantly now for nearly 9 weeks. Is there anyone else that's experienced this at all? Tell me it ends soon as it's really getting me down

Birth control?

Is birth control worth it? Does it improve your mood? Do you feel less stressed? Side effects? Pros? Cons? What kind do you have?

Birth control?

Can anyone recommend birth control that doesn’t have much hormones and doesn’t make you crazy 🤪 I was on the mini pill due to feeding and I didn’t stop bleeding and my hormones were going crazy, I’m due to have the coil fitted but I’ve heard so many bad stories about them getting lost or needing surgery to get…

can you take motrin and Tylenol together?

I'm going in for my iud today and was told by one of the nurses that I can take 800mg of motrin and 1000 mg of Tylenol together before I go in and another nurse told me just to drink 600mg of motrin. I've heard that your not supposed to mix pain medicine together so I'm still indecisive if I should drink both or not.
