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...

I'm 11 weeks PP, what contraception are you on? Haven't done anything yet with my partner, however I will have to start thinking about something. What does everyone use? As don't want anymore surprises just yet 😬

So my clinic over prescribed me cyclogest. I’m not sure what to do with the extra, I’ll have about 5-6 weeks worth left over. (UK based)

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.

Was told I have a very mild UTI but they are not giving me any antibiotics, will it just go on its own? Very worried now, I have my midwife on Tuesday so will bring it back up then

Hi girls what contraception are you on after giving birth and how’s it affecting you. I got the marina coil put in months ago but my stomach is killing me and when I’m due on my cramps are 10x worse and feel sharp as if I can feel it inside me🤢. I’m hoping to see something that tends to work for the majority of women

I have been waiting to hear from docs for the 8 week appointment which HV told me I would be able to discuss any issues I was having as well as LO getting her vaccinations etc. Finally got a letter saying the appointment is 10th Feb when my LO will actually be 11 weeks which is annoying in itself but there’s also ...

Accidentally gave 5mls instead of 2.5 to my 9.5 month old 🤦🏾‍♀️😭 Do I need to be worried?

I’ve got thrush and used pessary and cream 2 days ago and nothing changed anyone else experienced this? What did you do?

So as a joke I squirted breastmilk on my partner later on that day I had seen a funny video of another girl doing to her partner and showed my man we were getting intimate in the shower and it squirted out again and we laughed he then turned around and said okay Sachi which is the girl we had seen earlier squirting ...

Has anyone taken the slinda brand of pill for contraception?

Has anyone taken progesterone? If so, what are your thoughts on it? Did it help you conceive? I didn’t get mine from a doctor, and idk if that’s bad. Do I need to take anything else with it?

Hi, has anyone gotten the Depo shot? If so, any negative reactions towards it? Did you gain weight? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated please🫶

Hey ladies has anyone had thrush ? And what did u use to treat this ?

What do you use on your periods ?

I am about to start Cyclogest and will need to insert pessaries vaginally in the morning (rectally in the evening). I have struggled with this in the past (also struggle with tampons). I never know if I have pushed it in far enough and struggle to get the angle right. Any tips?? Thank you!!

I'm debating between IUD or implant for birth control after baby #2 comes. - I used Mirena IUD before kids. It worked, but I had cramping for the whole time it was in. - we used condoms between baby #1 and #2. It was awful - not sure if we're done with babies yet, so need something reliable but not permanent

I had my second child a year ago and I also have PCOS. I've never had a huge sex drive (in my teens I did, but who didn't?). It's causing some marital issues. We are currently in sex therapy to sort out some other issues. But after asking my OB, she told me I could try some supplements or teas to help boost libido (...

I’ve been on different birth controls over the years. Depo, nexaplon (arm implant), and pills. I liked the arm implant because you didn’t have to worry about taking anything but with all of these they are hormonal and I don’t like the way they make me feel I have been thinking about the Copper IUD since it is hormo...

Pre pregnancy I was on the combined pill however have now started to experience migraine with Aura so been taken off. Since coming off the combined pill I was put into desogestrel. This gave me constant spotting and severe brain fog to the point i couldn’t retain any info. I’ve now been put onto noriday, I’m coming...
