I’m looking at contraception options thinking about getting the coil fitted, and keen to hear people’s experiences.

Me and my partner have very different sexual needs and it’s starting to create a rift. I only feel like having sex about 3/4 times a month and my sex drive is extremely high around ovulation and non existent all other times.

I have been on birth control since I was 15, and I am really over it. When I was younger it was great, controlled my pms and horrible mood swings but now that I am 34 it's just not for me. I don't want any more children but my husband does, which is why I continue to be on it. He's hoping one day I will change my mi...

Has anyone here taken Prozac before? Any weight gain or other unpleasant side effects other than nausea?

Does anyone use period pants, and how do you find them. I've just been diagnosed with a auto immune system that affects that area, so I'm thinking these might be better than using pads (as a lot of pads are now fraganced) Do you just wash them as normal?
