Incognito cause feel stupid asking such a daft question but please can anyone explain how a midwife can do a membrane sweep with their finger and reach the cervix etc but I’m told when you have sex a penis can’t reach your cervix and hurt the baby…. It makes no sense to me! Surely a penis is longer than a finger?!…

My six week appt is coming up. I’m debating on what birth control to use. I don’t like the pill, and the one time I had the birth control shot, it made me bleed three months straight.

Is anyone who got pregnant whilst using natural cycles (whether on TTC or contraception mode) still going to use it to prevent pregnancy after baby has arrived? I feel like I’ve lost all faith in it for obvious reasons but I also feel like maybe it was user error. I’d stopped breastfeeding only a few months prior...

So I have a problem… About 4 days ago I started to insert the evening primrose capsules to help soften everything for labour… Tonight, I inserted one and when I went to check it was as high as possible I felt something else inside my vagina.

What has been your experience with the mini pill? 3 weeks PP - need to figure out contraceptive. Was thinking about IUD but may be leaning more toward pill. Want something I can easily stop when I’m ttc again

Anyone currently taking Letrozole or have taken it before and had positive results? I’m about to start taking it for the first time when my cycle starts.

So I’m 4 weeks pp, me and baby daddy have decided we want another baby but not until our son is about 2 years old. I’m the worst at remembering to take pills but a lot of the other options are pretty long term. Any experiences or advice?

My vagina is very red and itchy I’ve noticed thick white discharge and stings when I go for a wee. Could this be thrush or something else?

Can your progesterone level be too high prior to FET? I’m on daily injections and suppositories and they said they want greater than 40 and mine is 190. Not sure what the units are. My main question is can it be too high and negatively affect implantation or no such thing as too high???

Anyone else on this pill? I’ve been on it two weeks now and feel so emotional. I feel myself getting angry and just cry over stupid shit. Anyone else feel that way whilst on it ? I have a doctor’s appointment to get it changed on Tuesday.

We have tricare prime. I loved my PCM but she retired and I don’t know how to find a good replacement without having to call tricare every time I go to a new PCM and I’m trying to avoid doing that
