My doctor said jt was more than fine , who I totally trust, but then dr Google scares me :) anyone on 20 mg and had good outcomes with baby? Thats all I’m worried about is tha...

What are your thoughts on circumcisions? I personally didn’t get my son circumcised after hearing his father’s experience and doing research, he explained to me that he went and got a circumcision at 18 because he was ready to have sex but a girl laughed when she saw that he was uncircumcised, he went on to say t...

I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant and unfortunately my obstetrician I’m going to is awful. I didn’t realize how unprofessional they were until recently I had a bad incident with them, I also looked at their most recent reviews on google and they were nothing but bad reviews. Any good recommendations on a new obstetric...

*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!

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...

Been on the depo shot 4 months now no periods and no problems, just woke up this morning to blood 🩸 🥲

Do you think it’s possible to be pregnant while on two different birth controls cause my nipples are so sensitive right now

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...

Recently started (3 days in) the mini pill, it's my last option available 🥲 Just curious how others feel about it. Please explain more in the comments if you're comfortable with that 😊

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...

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?

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

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

Is there something else other than the coil… ?

Anyone been on the above contraceptive pill & had any side effects?

What birth control would you recommend that doesn’t have crazy side effects?? I’m literally petrified of taking birth control but most definitely won’t be ready for a third after this little man gets here

How long did it take you to become pregnant after getting off birth control?

What birth control are you on ? Are you preventing pregnancy ? I was on nexplanon , removed it had my son , after my son i got in the pill and it really messed me up. I have been off bc for maybe two months but the fear of getting pregnant has caused me to have no sex life with my partner. I’m debating if i should...

I have come off the pill today and I have been on it for 10+ years. What are my most likely side effects going to be this week and next week? Thank you 🩷
