I'm debating between IUD or implant for birth control after baby #2 comes. - I used Mirena IUD before kids. It worked, but I had cramping for the whole time it was in. - we used condoms between baby #1 and #2. It was awful - not sure if we're done with babies yet, so need something reliable but not permanent

I had my second child a year ago and I also have PCOS. I've never had a huge sex drive (in my teens I did, but who didn't?). It's causing some marital issues. We are currently in sex therapy to sort out some other issues. But after asking my OB, she told me I could try some supplements or teas to help boost libido (...

Hey girls! So I need some advice. I have been on the pill for going on 10 years which means I have not had a period in that long! Sounds crazy right ?! But hey, who's complaining? Lol. Well I'm starting to think the pill is affecting my mood and energy and etc so I was considering other options. I just don't know wh...

Has anyone had to have this injection throughout previous pregnancies? I’m a little confused by it and if it can cause any harm? I’m currently 14 weeks pregnant and have been spotting for the last 2 weeks (everything is fine on scans, no known cause for the bleeding) so they gave me the Anti-D injection when the ble...
