This might be the worst yeast infection I’ve ever had. My period just ended and I could tell the yeast infection was coming before my period ended. It smells so funky and bready. My skin is so sensitive and it feels like I have little paper cuts down there. I need quick relief and remedies cuz I can smell myself thr...
Help, I am really stressing out 😭 So tonight my cat pooed in the bath. I went in there to go toilet and I could smell it… I didn’t touch it. But now I’m completely stressed out because I googled it and I’ve inhaled it by going into that room. Any advice? Does this matter?
I have only ever had and absolutley loved my iud's. Getting off of them to start trying was actually very un-fun and resulted in more emotion fluctuation, heavier periods, and cramping. I plan on getting a new iud at 6 weeks pp, but heard i could have a completly different reaction after birth.
It would be very early I haven’t missed my period yet but I took a plan B on day 2-3 after the night and then had some bleeding for 5 days but it wasn’t a full flow.

I’ve been put on the desogestrel pill while I wait for my implant appointment. I’ve never taken it before though. I started bleeding a bit today… is that normal? Do you still get periods whilst taking the mini pill?

I have to find a new hospital to deliver at because the hospital where all the obs I’ve been seeing since beginning of pregnancy won’t take my insurance for delivery. The office I may need to transfer to is a midwifery office . Is there any real differences between an Ob and Midwife?
I just got emergency contraceptive. Does anyone here try it before? If so, is it working? I don’t want to take it but I have to. I already have 4 boys and I’m not ready for more kids in the same time it’s hard for me to do that. I feel like I might get twins this time.
I’m 10 months pp and on my second period. I’ve decided to use menstrual cup, as my period is very heavy pp and lasting longer as well. It started off great, I’m using moon cup and trimmed the stem twice now. However by the end of the day I’m feeling such a strong discomfort I had to take it out. I’ve emptied it o...

What has everyone been like with contraception after birth? I gave birth 19 months ago, I was on the pill for years absolutely fine however now anything I take makes me bleed constantly. Anyone else had any problems? I no longer use contraception which I know isn’t ideal 😒😬😬
