So I went on the pill about 2 months after my baby. I'm 5 months postpartum. I've not had a period and never did on the pill. Today I bled and thought it was the start of my period which I thought to be strange from previous experience but I put it down to having a baby and my body changing. Turns out I just bled t...

Before I was pregnant I NEVER had a single UTI or a kidney infection and when I was pregnant with my wee girl I had a total of 8 UTI’s and 3 kidney infections then after I had her I had another 2 UTI’s and another kidney infection😵‍💫I asked the GP to look into it so they…

What’s people’s experience and advice? Pullout and tracking gave us our first. 😅 Got on hormonal mirena and got pregnant with triplets. 🙃 Now nexoplanon has landed me in the ER getting transfusions I’m so anemic from bleeding so much and made me very sick where it has to get removed now a year in dealing with it. I…

Has anyone randomly experienced strong smelly armpits? Almost smells like onions. I would literally have a shower and 5 minutes later the smell is so strong!

For at least 2 weeks now (max) my urine has been soo fluorescent. No matter how hydrated I am no matter if I used the toilet 20 minutes before it’s just soo bright and also really bright on the tissue. I’m currently 33 weeks and wondering if this is normal. Also showing no signs of a uti ☺️

Can anyone recommend this?

I don’t like taking them. It’s so unnatural and stops the body from doing natural things. I started taking them again since my son was born. He is now 22 months. Me and my partner don’t have sex at the moment due to co sleeping etc so I feel as I’m just taking it for the sake of it. I will obviously tell my part...

Hey! What birth control did you get on at your 6 week appointment? I am not ready to have another child but I’ve had bad experiences in the past with BC. I had the nexplanon and it caused bad cysts and terrible periods. My ob is recommending Mirena but not sure! Any advice is appreciated!

Hello, so I started the depo shot again almost 6 months ago. I got my second shot almost 3 months ago. They told me after my second shot I would no longer get my period which is what I wanted due to how bad mine are. I was supposed to start the first week of September and I didn’t so I thought “hey it’s working than...

For anyone the lives near the Columbia, Lexington, West Columbia area. Which Obgyn do you? Doesn't have issues with people that have weight on them. That actually makes an effort in finding out what is going on and isn't rude

Pulling back the foreskin is done in my culture to ensure that it's clean properly. My siblings also taught their boys how to do it properly from a young age. I do not have a son now, but more than likely, I will be doing the same thing when I do. Reason why, since moving to the UK, I heard from a few of my friends ...

I had my first period about 2 weeks ago and have since started taking the mini pill. I’ve started bleeding a bit again now but not sure why, anyone else experienced similar?

It’s my first letrozole cycle. My period is unusually heavy even on CD 4. Is this common while taking letrozole?? Seen somewhere letrozole might cause heavy bleeding for some. I am taking letrozole 5 mg from CD2-6. Will my period become lighter after CD 6?? I am really worried as I have follicular scan on CD12 an...

I finally got my period after coming off the pill 10 weeks ago. Normally my period was 5-7 days pre pill. I was fully expecting a period from hell lasting 10+ days as that’s what everyone I know told me 🤣 my period started Sunday and my god was it painful the worst I’ve had pain wise but Sunday was light-medium…

Since we’re all pretty much getting into the nitty gritty of the third trimester and (I assume) everyone’s appointments are getting closer together, I wanna know what everyone’s opinions are on getting cervical checks? If you’re not a ftm when did you start getting them and do you recommend accepting them, I’ve hea...

Does anyone have experience with changing their doctor in the 2nd or 3rd trimester of pregnancy? I’m annoyed with my Dr and her clinic at this point & I’m considering looking into switching but I’m not sure how I TRULY feel about doing this right now. I’m 26 weeks 😩
