Now baby is here, it’s time to start birth control. I’ve never been on any birth control before and wondering what people recommend.

I have never been a fan of wanting ...

Kinda gross and tmi!! Do you ever smell *fishy* after he ejaculates in you? I’ve always had this problem with my partner and when he finishes inside me I smell like pure fish down there for a day-two max.
