Tampons and TSS..

So I read a horrid article about a lady who ended up with her legs amputated due to contracting TSS from her tampon. She hadn’t left it in too long and apparently even if you change regularly you can still get it. I mean WTF? Am I being OTT or does this put you off too??

Coming off contraception

Has anyone braved coming off contraception? I’m 11 months PP and the plan was always to come off contraception in the new year and start tracking cycles again until we want to have another (potentially later on in the year) but I don’t know how fertile you are or if you go back to normal this far into PP.
