Iud, zoloft, menstrual cycle changes

I've had an iud for almost 3 yrs now. My period has been extremely light, sometimes non-existent. But it dies come and go. I started taking 25mg zoloft about a month ago. This period I'm having now is much heavier, and brighter in color. Could that be from the zoloft? It reminds me more of the period I used to get before having kids. No pain or anything, just heavier and it keeps starting and stopping.

Anyone experience cycle fluctuations after staring an ssri like zoloft?

Hot take

When someone points out that sometimes birth control fails and the response is “then don’t have sex” I assume that person has a lackluster sex life. 🤷‍♀️

Vaginal odour

Its been 2 years now of me struggling with this disgustimg fishy smell down there. It goes away for like five minutes after a shower and then it comes back and no matter how many underwear I change in a day or don't wear at all. I still smell the smug get into my clothes, causing me to run out of clothes and shower like four times a day I have been to my guy now multiple times have been tested for BV multiple times all coming back negative I am not sure what to do as this is not only affecting me, but it's also affecting my mental health and my sex life. If anybody knows what I should do please help.

I’m supposed to start fertility meds in the next few days. I can’t take them if I’m pregnant so I took a test just in case. My period is due today.

Since it’s a grey looking vfl I think I see I took a second thinking it might be an indent line. It looks the same. Both taken in the correct timeframe. First morning urine.
What do you think?

Experience with Zolaf?

I was prescribed the lowest dose of zolaf because it is pregnancy safe to treat ppd and anxiety. But I have not started taking it because I’ve been scared because of things I’ve heard of it. Anyone else get it? What were the side effects? Your experience? I’ve never taken any meds for anything like this ever before. Does it change you after?
Can get leave extended for longer for being on this medication? They already extended it for 1 month after regular post partum recovery.

Birth control

I had my 6 week pp check yesterday and I got cleared and accepted birth control but I’m very nervous about taking them. The last time I had birth control I had the implant and had really bad depression and anxiety. And I’m also worried that I might not want another child. I just think I’m mostly worried about my mental health on birth control.

Birth control

What birth control is everyone on? I’m nearly 4 months postpartum and I’m thinking of what to get. I’ve never been on any contraception before. I’m thinking about the coil or the implant.

Coil contraception opinions..

I’ve recently gone on the mini pill and ever since I’ve had a non stop period (currently on day 53)
I spoke to my doctor today who recommended to coil instead of the other pill due to my migraines.
I’ve never spoke to someone about the coil and don’t know a lot about and google is giving very mixed reviews.
I have two children and am not planning to have any in the future but don’t want to eliminate it altogether as me and my partner are still young and our minds could change.
Anything would be helpful
Thank you x
