I was washing my boyfriend’s clothes like usual tonight and he just came out from hanging with his friends.Normally if he showers right before going out to eat and drink with his buddies he will not shower when he gets back(gross I know,I hate it!) but tonight he did shower when he got back which I thought was stran...

Since having my baby, I've had a really low sex drive. I've been looking into getting some tablets to boost my libido. Does anyone have any personal recommendations, please? TIA x

Are any of you taking the evening primrose oil? I see good and bad things about it and I’ve been taking it for 3 days but I’m scared now because I’ve been seeing a couple of bad things about it.

I ordered ONE my choice (emergency contraceptive comparable to plan b) on Amazon and they sent three ?? I doubled checked if I mistakenly ordered three and I did not lol. Maybe I’ll take all three!!

Hi does anyone experience nexplanon? thanks

I used to use the Evra Patch for years but now I'm over 35 apparently I can't use it. They've given me Desogestrel. I've only been taking it a few days but I have been feeling very sick and not myself. I'm still breastfeeding so know I'm limited which pills I can take. I don't like the idea of invasive contraception...

So I’m 8 months PP and exclusively breastfeeding. I’m not on any contraception for no reason other than i literally don’t know what to go for. I know i don’t want any more kids in the next 5 years, if ever (i have 2 kids already). So i don’t think going on the pill would be a wise option if i know ill be on it for 5...

Anyone else had Group B Strep found after a vaginal swab? Had thrush and was treated at the time the swab was taken, all cleared up now but just got a call to say this was found too and to let my midwife know. Google can be a bit scary, so just looking for anyone else’s experience and what it entailed for them, di...

Me again... I've just received my Splash About bits... do these look ok? It was quite a fight to get them on but i did just wipe her bum just before I put them on

Choose!

I need to find an ob that won't ask about a primary dr. I just found out today that I'm having another one and my last ob wanted something to prove that I was pregnant but this time I dont have the time. I don't have a primary and dont wanna go to a random place to get a pregnancy test done, just so an ob will see me

I take half showers in between showers. For example, last night I went to the gym, before the gym I washed my pits, down there (front and back) and my feet. After the gym, I double cleanse. I go to sleep and in the afternoon I washed my pits, down there, and feet. It's a nice hot day so I enjoyed some sun. I plan on...

Hi girls, what contraception did you choose after having the baby? If any at all? I was thinking about the coil but still not sure… 🤔

2 guys and 1 of their wives all share a towel. No it’s not a throuple- just a couple and a male roommate sharing a towel. They literally only own one single towel. “You’re clean when you get out of the shower so what’s the problem?” Please tell me I’m not crazy thinking this is nuts and absolutely disgusting

So I just stopped my BC shot beginning of March after being on it since January of 2023. So my question is how do period panties work? Do you wear a pad or not? Can I wear the panties and just a tamp? Also who uses the cup thing how do you like it? Is it easy and cost effective? I’ve haven’t had a real period since ...

Hi girls, I currently have thrush . My midwife said it’s safe to take a pessery and cream but don’t use the applicator. I’ve just been to the pharmacy and they wouldn’t give me it because it’s not licensed during pregnancy. Unsure what to do as it does say on the box don’t use if pregnant?

Anybody know if this is safe, I can't get a GP appointment to ask this question ?

5 year old girl needing a wee all the time like having a wee then straight after saying she needs another but sometimes needs a wee but nothing coming out because she's just had one. She used to be fine like used yo go few hours between wees so I don't know what's happening now

I’ve always been prone to UTIs but for the last 3 months I’ve been getting UTI like symptoms at the same time every month. I’m usually able to drink lots of water and cranberry juice and can get it to go away on its own. But it’s also accompanied by slightly greenish discharge?? And it’s only for like a week a mont...

What contraception method has everyone chosen or got on best with after having a baby? I was on the combined pill for over 12 years before I stopped to get pregnant and found this worked well for me. I've got my 8 week appointment this week and know this is my opportunity to discuss contraception methods. I am keen...
