For EBF and those taking the mini pill, when did your period come back? With my first baby, I got a Nexplanon implant at my 6 week appointment and was bleeding 3/4 weeks every month (what I called inverse periods) immediately until I had it removed 4 months later. So far I’m 3 months post partum and no period.

Random question but my husband thinks it’s weird that I stand to wipe after I’ve done either a number 1 or 2? Am I the only one?!

Did anyone else have this and be presc...

Hi guys. I’m on the mini pill and have been since I had my first child (a little over 2 years ago). I’ve never had problems but today I have period cramps and when I wiped there was a lot of blood. I’ve never had a period on the pill. What could this indicate please? TIA
