Unprotected sex

Now what is another way instead of PLAN B pill to avoid pregnancy for an emergency prevention?! I am not wanting to get pregnant again so SOON! Are any of you pregnant again or getting pregnant only at 3 months post partum?

Got off the birth control pill and I'm not attracted to my husband anymore..

I'm freaking out. My sex drive is through the roof- I'm looking at other men and daydreaming, but for some reason, I'm just not into my husband. Is this normal? How do I stop it? I don't want to go back on birth control though. Ahhhhh :(

Depo injection

Has anyone else had the Depo injection. I’ve had two injections now and I’m currently late on my period by about 20 days. I’m aware it can take ages for your period to regulate after a baby but I’ve also read that in some cases it stops your period all together. Has anyone else experienced this? Where they’ve not ha...

I totally screwed up

I’m on my FET cycle and have to be taking estradiol during the cycle. Well I apparently somehow missed 5 pills. I had 180, I know I missed two accidentally. Then I think I took the estradiol instead of my Synthroid pill in the morning which may explain the odd number but I have 147 pills left so I took 33 pills but...

UTI relief

I have a really bad uti and it hit me last night but my doctor wont be able to refill it until tomorrow. I know pure cranberry juice works well but can I also take Azo and do i have to take regular or can i take the maximum strength one.
