I went off birth control 4 years ago and was using the cycle tracking paired with the withdrawal method and was successful with preventing pregnancy. For this baby, we had discussed we would stop tracking and were 50/50 on the withdrawal (not actively trying but not actively preventing). Now that I am only 6 weeks p...

I just had my first baby a month ago and she’s amazing! I’m 34 y/o and unsure if we’re going to have another as my husband and I go back and forth about it. I worry because of how old I am like maybe I’d rather try sooner than later but idk! I’m coming up to my 6 week appt and unsure if I want to get an IUD (which w...

This is a vent and also precautionary tale! My husband and I had sex a couple days ago and I suddenly developed an infection on my inner thighs. I thought he had given me an STD or STI or that maybe I had a dormant STD until now. But my infection was ACTUALLY caused by him going down on me and the bacteria from his ...

I’m 5 months PP and I have no sex drive and don’t know what to do anymore. I just read online it could be the anti-depressants I’m on. I’m also on quetiapine which is an antipsychotic medication. Is anyone else in the same boat? Any tips? I feel awful for my partner. I want to want to do it but when it’s happening ...

Can anyone help me understand what this means? I have no idea how these strips work or what they mean 🫣

Is anything taking this? Is it safe? I got some of the capsules to start taking but I'm too scared lol

I’m 10 months pp. My period came back at 4.5 months pp and was regular for 2 months without any birth control. Then I went back on the combined pill which is was I took for 10 years before stopping to TTC.

Hello, I’m posting this to see if any of you were ever on nexplanon and if you got it removed, did you feel any different afterwards? I got nexplanon after having my 1st baby (he’s 17 mo) and I have been thinking about getting it removed for a while now. Can any of you share your experience after getting it removed?

Hi, Mommy friends. I'm currently pregnant with baby 4. With that bring said I'm DONE! I'm thinking i want to get my tubes tied or trying birth control. The IUD, to be exact. However, I hear horror stories about both. Birth control causes weight gain, and with your tubes tied, your periods are 10× worse. I've nev...

Ive been prescribed Desogestrel and have been taking it for just over a week. I was in this pill years ago before i got pregnant and it worked well for me.
