I have my PP check up next month and they ask about birth control. What birth control are you on and what’s your experience? I’ve tried the pills but I forget to take them and its just risky.

I know that birth control is different with every women’s body but I was just curious does it stop a cycle completely or it depends on the birth control method .. I was looking into getting the implant in the arm but i still want to get a cycle I was on the pills and that experience wasn’t good

so i’ve just been shaving my vagina and i cut my labia minora a little bit like a tiny cut and obviously it’s valentine’s day tomorrow and my man will be here, is it still okay to have sex?? i wanted to look all sexy for him 😩

Hey all!! Just found out I'm expecting baby #2 :) Looking for midwife recommendations. I used Community Midwives last pregnancy and didn't have the best experience. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Anyone else's little started sucking on wet wipes? Or just mine 😁🤣

I’m currently on the Depo and have noticed I’m starting to get some of the side effects of ache and weight gain. I really don’t like birth control overall but don’t want to be pregnant right now. (I also plan to have more kids and heard the Depo can cause some issues going again and I really don’t want that to happe...

I’m not looking to get pregnant for another year or so and been on the copper coil for about 3 months. Ive been having two periods a week and yesterday I’d had enough and got it removed. I’ve pretty much every different form of contraptions now but still none the wiser which is best! PLEASE CAN YOU ALL TELL ME WHAT ...

I’ve been using my prep machine for nearly 4 months now and the filter light as never come on. I clean I maybe every other week. I looked at it today and there was mould all round the edges and what is this in the filter. Made me feel sick. Definitely not using this again.

(Getting impatient to find out the gender I’m so excited) 😂

Has anyone ever got a progesterone injection in Ontario?

Anybody got any advice? Supplements they take etc? Mine is non existent and I really want it back.

Anyone else see a MFM? Just wondering if anyone knows if there will be an increase in visits by both my OB and MFM towards the end of pregnancy

so i keep hearing from doctors that zofran isnt a safe medication to take while pregnant, but i keep reading posts on here saying ob’s are prescribing it. does anyone know anything more in depth about nausea meds dos/donts??

Can the contraceptive pill stop ur periods? Or it just depends on the person like the other contraceptives ??

What contraception (if any) are you using since giving birth? I don't want to get pregnant again just yet but I don't want to go back on the pill as it took my hormones years to settle and for my period to come back after I stopped it last time. I've thought about the copper coil but really don't like the idea of so...

Used to be on cerazette a few years ago but came off to have children. I’ve started back on it over the past month and have had continuous bleeding-is this normal? I never had this when I was on it before. 27 days of bleeding and counting. Doesn’t seem to be showing any signs of even slowing down !?!?

What contraception are you on (if any) I was on the depo but I bled for 6 months straight and gave me bad migraines so I come off it about a month ago & looking to go back on another type. Would not go on the implant or coil, is there any other options apart from them and the pill?

Yes, I wash my hands. I’m just asking ** 😂

I’ve recently had a baby boy after having a little girl I feel very lost. When do I need to pull back the foreskin to clean? Nurses told me to leave it but never said when to start cleaning.

I have extremely bad period pains and Panadol does not help and i don’t want to use contraception as a way to manage the pain. Has anyone used a tens machine or have recommendations?
