Progestegon only contraception pills!!! Your experience!!

I've never had a pill where I don't have a break . I've just been given Desogestrel which is a non break pill. I'm still breastfeeding 9 months post partum so I'm not having periods anyway. I just wanted to hear from anyone's experience on these types of pill. Thanks

Period Product Suggestions

Hey Everyone! I am looking for suggestions when it comes to period products. I usually use pads, but I am considering a diva disk/cup or period panties? In your opinion what’s the best for a heavy flow and not uncomfortable.

Possible chemical?

Hi ladies. I feel like I’m heading towards a chemical? I don’t feel like my tests are really getting darker, and then today on 12 DPO it’s lighter. If it’s going to be a chemical, I just want to start bleeding already as this is torture.
