I remember getting my period very young I was in 4th grade I stayed behind a grade in kindergarten. My mom told me what a period was.how to clean after yourself. But I felt embarrassed I felt like I was the only one taking a pad to the restroom I would hide it in my pocket or sweater my mom didn’t make me a little ...

Very much TMI but is anyone else getting sore spots on their vagina from wearing a pad 24/7? It’s making peeing way worse than it needs to be! Any tips if anyone has?

Just a quick question - I accidentally ate some mouldy bread yesterday and now am stuck on the toilet @ 36+2 , do you think I should contact maternity triage?

Do any of you ladies have any experience with norethindrone .35 mg birth control. My OB put me on this kind due to me breast feeding and said it’s possible I won’t have a period. What are the long term effects of this medication and will it mess with my fertility?

I've been advised to stop my progesterone pessaries at 34 weeks. I'll be 34 weeks tomorrow so do I stop then or keep going up till 34 + 6?

Hey ladies, So I got the nexplanon birth control implant in my arm about 2 months ago. The first month I had my period and when it ended after about a week I got it again. I thought it was just the hormones selling from the birth control. The second month I got my period it lasted a little over a week then like 3...

I’m currently taking a Jamieson prenatal. It is causing horrid constapation and the pill is very large, it’s hard to swallow and not gag on and spit out. I’ve heard about centrum & softgel Jamieson. But wanting more opinions on what the heck I should take!?

I am 9 months post partum.. I got the nexplanon at my 6 week check up. Haven’t had a period since before I got pregnant. And birth control stops my periods. I had this nexplanon for 9 months already and haven’t had a period. I woke up Saturday morning and had period. And been on ever since. Is that normal?? I’m conf...

Apologies for the TMI early on a Monday morning.... I've just been to the bathroom and I've got a definite orange ish stain on my white underwear. It's not loads, perhaps a teaspoon amount? I don't remember this with my first but I have been feeling a little "off" having back pain/period like cramps over the week...

Pretty sure my little girl has a uti, she is crying right before she pees and pee smells foul. I'll be bringing her to her Doctor on Tues to get it checked out.c Anyone know if they perscribe liquid antibiotics for this or what is the usual treatment as she is under 6months

Just curious about other people's opinions/experiences on the various forms of birth control after birth before youre ready to try again. My husband and I want another baby, but obviously not immediately. We're planning for at least 18 months before we try again. I got a mirana IUD in 2016 and had it until we dec...

What's the best birth control pills? I'm breastfeeding exclusively. My period is back at 11 weeks postpartum. And I'm not ready for baby no. 2. Help!

I’m on nexoplan, the arm implant birth control and I don’t know if it’s relating to the birth control but my memory is shit. A year ago I started this birth-control, and I remember feeling depressed, very low energy and I think I had bad memory as well. A year later I feel like my moods OK my energy is so so, but my...

Does anyone get irritation when grooming your bikini line or pubic hair in general? I like to try to keep it tidy, just short and neat 😂 The pubic bone area is fine but whichever method I use for hair under carriage/groin it just becomes irritated or worse, I get in grown hairs that are obviously uncomfortable and…

I've heard SO many stories about iuds failing. The copper iud is the one I've read that's non hormonal (I really don't do well on the hormonal ones). Right now I'm on the mini pill and it's worked fine but I'm awful at remembering to take it. Before my husband and I got married I wasn't on birth control and we used ...

I was recently prescribed the mini pill Camila, and I am currently breastfeeding. I worked so hard for my supply, I’m so scared the pill will make it go away. Has anyone else had any experiences with breastfeeding and birth control?

I have pcos and every month I ovulate and the cramps are so bad it’s like period pain. Any one have any suggestions or advice on how to ease or stop this? I’m getting tired of living on painkillers when I’m ovulating and on my period

Hello, might be TMI but my partner and I had sex last night and today I went to get emergency contraception because we didn’t use protection and were being silly… the pharmacist in there had a chat with me and asked if I was EBF and I told him I was so he said that that in itself is natural contraception apparently ...

Found out today that my OB is completely booked next week for my 38 week appointment so I had to schedule with a different Dr.. I’m a little nervous as this ob is a male.. words of encouragement or advice would be appreciated as I am also trying to decide if I should do a cervix check
