Birth Control

Started birth control last week and this weekend has felt like doomsday on a loop. I am so emotional, barely sleeping, just a wreck. Like I absolutely see why new moms crash out. Yikes🥲🫠. I was on BC before getting pregnant but this feels like the first time I ever took it and it’s 10x WORSE!

Natural Cycles

I have a copper IUD in and want to get it removed as my periods have been so heavy, I also hope to start trying for my second baby in a few months. I have previously used natural cycles and got pregnant quite quickly using it but I feel it is a bit of a scam as you’re paying a monthly subscription. After looking an ...

Copper IUD

I have learned that hormonal birth control and my mental stability do not go well together so my husband will eventually be getting a vasectomy. I do need something to protect against pregnancy in the meantime and the diaphragm doesn't seem like it will be a good fit for me. Has anyone used the copper iud? How'd it ...

Herpes?

The dr thought I had genital herpes and my partner went down on me and had it as well what I had down there but I went to the drs when I was having an outbreak and she done a swab but they’ve all come back negative so it’s saying I don’t have it what else could it be because my partner got it as well

I really like penises aubergine 🍆 like not in a pervy way (I’m married so only perv over my husband thank you very much) but like you know a lot of women say they’re so ugly. I think they are lovely.

Like the skin around them is so soft to touch. The head is so smooth and as long as he’s a clean hygienic man it’s just such a pleasant part of the male body to be close to. Sometimes I just like to rub my husband’s 🍆 across my face because it just feels so soft, warm and soothing. Who agrees?
