My girls fell off and never had blood or openess.

I’m 5 months post partum and I am on the mini pill but I bleed every 2 weeks. I’ve been to the doctors multiple times and they just say it’s normal.

I just got to know I got uti in week 31. Doctor suggested macrobid course for a week. Anyone else had any experience dealing with uti?

Anyone else still bleeding and fed up with sanitary pads? I'm 3 weeks postpartum, and although I bleed much less now, I can go a couple of days with no blood at all, and then on the third day it all comes back 🥴 So I need to wear pads constantly BUT I have noticed they're causing spots to appear on my bum cheeks 😭…

It’s my wedding next Thursday and I’m due Saturday but last month was late. I have been getting cramps on and off the last day but I don’t know whether to risk it and see if my period comes in the next few days or to take the tablets from today 😅

I’m due in two weeks and a wondering what anyone does for contraception afterwards and how soon after having baby?

Planning to start Depo for birth control, Is anybody on it, or have had any experience using it? I heard people say they gained a lot of weight I'm kinda scared of that. I have been on the pill before, different types but I got pregnant using the pill so I want to try something else.

I’m a little over 2 weeks PP and I’m looking into contraceptives. I was taking the pill for 10+ years prior to getting pregnant and idk if I want to go on it again. I was given pamphlets on Paragard and Mirena IUD - if you’ve been on either, what’s been your experience? I want something I can come off of and not h...

For my first pregnancy I went to the midwives at Texas tech, but I was upset that my midwife did not end up delivering my son and it was just some random doctor at UMC. Looking for someone great to be with me from conception to delivery.

I am 7 weeks pp and my fiancé and I had sex last night, unprotected (we are dumb and weren’t thinking in the moment). What can I use for emergency contraception as plus size?

Anyone take Sertraline and noticed any side effects? My GP was useless telling me it’s up to me if I want to increase from 100mg to 150mg after I’ve explained low mood etc for a while now and would barely give any support pushing it to me to decide rather than advise or help or anything. I’ve not really had any side...

Does anybody have the arm implant birth control and have any side effects? Good or bad, I’d like to know them all 😅 I’m trying to decide which birth control I should use. The implant appeals to me, but I suffer with bad hair loss, and weight gain. So I’m worried any side effects would make these issues I have worse?

No judgement pls ladies!!! So recently I’ve noticed a smell from my vagina , I pee so much it’s like I have to take 2 showers a day even if I don’t go out . Should I wear a pad? I definitely feel likey underwear is always wet like if I peed myself … why is there a stench like I haven’t showered in days ?

I either have a uti or yeast infection and it itches/burns so freaking bad. I took azo and 500mg of Tylenol 1.5 hours ago and it still burns/itches so bad. It feels like I have rug burn in there but I haven't had sex with my husband in weeks. How the hell can I make this pain go away fast? I have a 2 hour drive back...

I’m currently about 6weeks postpartum. I have a ob appointment Tuesday and want to get back on birth control. What’s the best one to use when breast feeding?
