How long after stopping the everyday pill did you get your first period?

Hi all! So I had my baby girl 14 weeks ago and I started using the mini pill after 3 weeks so been on that 11 weeks now and I’m having irregular bleeding. I bled for 8 weeks after having her and then it would stop and start again every few days, and has been since. It’s not heavy but enough for me to have to use a t...

I’ve had the nexplanon since September of last year but I really want to take it out. It’s really messing with me hormones, my hair is thin as shit, my face is breaking out and my depression/anxiety is up and down all the time. But the only thing that makes me want to leave it is because I don’t want to get preg...

Please someone tell me anything about this, does it work? Does it cause more problems than what it’s worth?

Has anyone else experienced this and can tell me when it's going to settle down 🫠 I'm 5 month pp with my second, had a Nexplanon implant fitted at 4 weeks pp. I've had 2 implants before (pre children) and don't remember it being like this... I've had more days of bleeding than not since it was fitted and I've…

So I read a horrid article about a lady who ended up with her legs amputated due to contracting TSS from her tampon. She hadn’t left it in too long and apparently even if you change regularly you can still get it. I mean WTF? Am I being OTT or does this put you off too??

Has anyone ever gotten pregnant while on birth control and you were taking it faithfully not missing any pills? Just wondering for science more than anything. We have two littles 3 years old, and my youngest will be 1 next month. My husband doesn’t want a 3rd at all, but I would love a 3rd in a couple years. Call me...

I want to get my tubes tied but my doctor is booked for 2.5 months. They have me on a call back in case someone cancels. Are there places to go now and would it be same day or do I have to schedule ahead? I don't have the best insurance but I do have it. I live near salem

Why hasn’t anyone told me that I’d eventually reach a point where my round ligament pain and size would make it so difficult to wipe myself after using the loo? Oh, come on! Really?! REALLY?! This is so not cool, God! Design fail!

I was told I wouldn’t have children, now I have a baby and after he was born I got the Nexplanon. This was in hopes it would help regulate my emotions without medication. (I and anxiety disorder and depression but don’t want to be medicated due to my genetics) however I have been struggling more with this and am get...

Also excess saliva. Anyone else have this

Hiya I just had my 6-8 week check up and was asked what contraception I would like. Any choices or preferences? I have only ever been on the pill but had bad side effects as a teen including depression, I don’t really want the coil and would like some advice on what others have and if they would recommend it :)

Hi I'm hopefully someone can reassure me. I'm 20 weeks and 1 day. I have ran out of paracetamol so have just taken 2 ibuprofen. I'm now worrying I may ruined everything. It says online not to take it but then some people have and midwifes say taking it once shouldn't make a difference I'm just paranoid as really don...
