(For the pill to fully leave your body etc or can you get pregnant as soon as you come off)

Do you ladies feel like as soon as you put them in they are sliding right back out ? I can’t get them any higher !! So annoying as I feel like I’m not getting enough progesterone because it’s all in my pants 😮‍💨 any tips ?

So I'm i started my 3rd pack of the pills. But my cycle is still messed up. In August had 2 periods so far for September I bled once for a day. So not sure if I should count that as a period? I've had 2 dreams so far of a positive pregnancy test. So now I'm paranoid lol what do you guys think? Also I had a metal ta...

Can someone tell me their experience with the copper iud?? I'm looking for a non hormonal birth control.

Is there any birth control out there that doesn’t cause weight gain or depression? I’m still debating on getting my tubes tied but before I make that decision I want to look into some type of birth control. I did the pill for one month till I got my copper iud , I didn’t hate the iud but I had the worst periods an...

Has anyone had to take progesterone to induce a bleed (because of irregular periods) before starting letrozole?

I got my iud inserted last Monday. I had started my period the same day. After insertion I stopped bleeding. Last night (Saturday) I had unprotected sex, he did not pull out. Google says: the device is effective immediately if you have it inserted within seven days of the start of your period. But mine stopped. Do I...

Has anyone taken a plan b other than the main name brand One-Step? I told my bf to get a plan b (he pulled out but I’m too paranoid). We use condoms normally but it just doesn’t feel the same. He says we should get a generic store brand since they’re less expensive but I’m paranoid about that too 😭

Hi, I got the depo jab almost 3 months ago so I’m due my second one in a couple weeks. I had a normal period not long after, and then a few weeks later i came on again and i’ve been on for just over a month now? Has anyone else experienced this with the jab? i am going to mention it at my appointment but just thou...

I'm not sure if there is an answer for this but I figured I'd ask. When I take a shower and wash my butt, after I get out and say I go to use the restroom at work, I can still smell an odor. I'm very intentional about washing back there and downstairs in general. I used dial antibacterial soap back there because I ...

Has anyone needed to increase their SSRI? I’m on 15 mg lexapro, having a lot of labile mood and weepiness and anxiety. I want to go to 20 mg. My doctor said jt was more than fine , who I totally trust, but then dr Google scares me :) anyone on 20 mg and had good outcomes with baby? Thats all I’m worried about is tha...

What are your thoughts on circumcisions? I personally didn’t get my son circumcised after hearing his father’s experience and doing research, he explained to me that he went and got a circumcision at 18 because he was ready to have sex but a girl laughed when she saw that he was uncircumcised, he went on to say t...

I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant and unfortunately my obstetrician I’m going to is awful. I didn’t realize how unprofessional they were until recently I had a bad incident with them, I also looked at their most recent reviews on google and they were nothing but bad reviews. Any good recommendations on a new obstetric...

*check comments for picture* This is a point of tension between me and my partner 🤣 Luckily he doesn't change it too often but I put it back on so it's over and he does it under , its so silly to be annoyed at but it bothers me😩😅 Such a random poll and there's bigger issues but I'm curious what the majority do!

Hi, I'm considering other contraceptive methods but have always had a fear of struggling to get pregnant if I went on the pill? I don't know where this fear has come from but just feel uneasy taking daily tablets to control my hormones and worry when I went to try again for baby number 3 will it lower my chances o...

Been on the depo shot 4 months now no periods and no problems, just woke up this morning to blood 🩸 🥲

Do you think it’s possible to be pregnant while on two different birth controls cause my nipples are so sensitive right now

I forgot to start my NEW pack of birth control pills a week and a half ago. I’ve had so much going on, and I usually leave them on the counter to remember. Well I reorganized some drawers in my kitchen and put them in my “junk” drawer. Totally forgot. I’m such an asshole. My app is all fucked up telling me my fertil...

Recently started (3 days in) the mini pill, it's my last option available 🥲 Just curious how others feel about it. Please explain more in the comments if you're comfortable with that 😊

How is a vagina supposed to smell? I am not sure whether I have a healthy smell or something is off. My whole life my VV smells, I would best describe it as mild armpit sweat, it's really a smell not so easy to describe. And sometimes it smells like sour milk with some urine? More often than not it even smells insid...
