Has anyone had provera? I've been recommended it and would like to know others experience on it

Going to obgyn practices with multiple providers is the most frustrating thing. Every week you see someone different, you get a different personality a different perspective, different instructions. They are so busy to schedule a medical induction but I’ve been asking to get a membrane sweep and it seems they all gi...

Along with cramps, lower back pain, rib pain, and a sudden urge to use the toilet. I've only had diarrheoa 1-2 times a day for the last 3 days, have had normal stools as well. No weird change in my discharge or the consistency of it. Both our cats have become very clingy and sticking closeby too. Is this worth ringi...

Good morning, I am currently 5DPO. I started on my 10 day cyclic progesterone course on June 1st, to force a period because of my irregular periods, and I ovulated on June 4th. I’m suppose to take my last progesterone pill of this course on Monday, June 10th. I went to the bathroom this morning and realized I was bl...

I started taking contraceptive pills (desogestrel) a month after giving birth. Then I noticed that I gained back almost 7kg in 3 months. I have never been this heavy in all my life (80kg). I stoped taking the pills or any kind of contraceptive 2 months ago, I went on diet and exercise but nothing seems to work. Ho...

I have taken desogestrel (Cerelle) for years and have never had a period whilst on it. I restarted it (with a generic brand) 6 weeks after giving birth and was period-free for 2 months, but now I’m currently having a period. Is this normal? I’ve never missed a pill. Google gives me mixed responses. I don’t want to h...

What contraceptive method would you recommend is best?

Anyone else having this issue??

I showered and used soap and scrubbed an hour ago and my vagina just smells. Is this normal? What can I do to fix it?

No Im not talking SA or birth control failure. Im wondering how one can willingly have unprotected sex and how a man can willingly nut in the vagina knowing that woman is not on birth control and doesn’t take a plan b the next morning and calls it an “accident”. Like nah you was trying or just being reckless. U...

Hey! New to Lubbock, looking for good OB/GYN recommendations! Thanks:)

I can't stop crying. I've developed a UTI and need a wee so bad but just can't go/in so much pain 😭 I've drunk over a litre of water in last hour and still nothing. What do I do? I can't get antibiotics until next week

I had the mirena coil fitted on the 16th May. I was due my period around the 27th May. I started bleeding on the 29th May so presumed my period had arrived, however it’s been 9 days and I’m still bleeding. some days lighter and some days heavy that I’m leaking so I put this down to irregular bleeding due to the coil...

I went to urgent care this morning for what I think is a UTI. They did the test and came back with semi high white blood cells but the actual culture results won’t come back til Monday. He prescribed me Macrobid. Has anyone taken this while pregnant yet? He obviously said it’s safe but of course I’m paranoid.

My c section was nearly 5 months ago and all my periods have been extremely heavy which isn’t normal for me. It wakes me up in the night and I’m changing my pad 1-2 times an hour. If I stand up I have to quickly go to the toilet as I loose a lot of blood. I have had my smear which was ok and my doctor has referred m...

So a bit of a back story I take a medicine that gives me irregular periods alright no problem. When I went on it years ago the doctor warned me it would happen that's fine. Now it's been almost 4 months since I gave birth and I'm taking my medicine like I'm supposed to but I'm getting regular periods? Is this normal...

Anyone have any recommendations for midwife in Scarborough, I go for my confirmation in a few weeks but I like to be prepared. Only used a o.b before

Has anyone used this pill to stop periods? It says to take 3 times a day?? How many hrs do I leave it? I thought it would be one pill to take? Also I don’t know exactly when I’m going to come on… feel like it could be today or tomorrow will this matter ?
