Advice please

My now husband proposed on June 23, 2023. We were married on Oct 1st same year. The morning he proposed we made love. We had been together for a year prior and only had about 6 times of intimacy. When we met and started dating he told me that sex was something he enjoyed and he had a slightly kinky side. I had never experienced that before but he assured me it wasn’t crazy. Well, those times we were intimate were anything but kinky. They were just normal intimate moments. So I thought he was waiting so he wouldn’t scare me off. Fast forward to today; we have not had any sexual contact since the proposal. None. Zero. Nothing. When he is home I have made advances. I have hinted. I have walked around nude. I have tried talking to him. Nothing has worked. The other day I found little blue pills in his nightstand. Yes, I counted and what was a package of 48 individual packs… it only has 32. I don’t know how to approach the situation. Where do I start?

What if you are a month post partum and you had sex and you didn’t have your period what does that mean? I don’t feel tired or nauseous or anything what should I do

Postpartum symptoms

I’m an older FTM at 37 and really struggling with postpartum in a physical sense. I’m now 18 months pp. however experiencing symptoms like women going through early menopause.

Awful hot sweats, achey joints, swelling in hands/legs/feet. Absolutely vile mood swings, low mood, fatigue and brain fog. The list is endless. I’ve seen doctors and on paper I’m healthy but my body is definitely screaming otherwise at me.

Has anyone experienced anything similar postpartum and is this normal. Will things return to normal or has pregnancy triggered some kind of early menopause!?

Hello to other empty-nesters!

Hi, I'm Cristina. I'm a mom of a now adult child who is going through that empty-nester phase. I'm trying to keep busy with other activities in my life so as to not rely on my son so much for his company as he does have his own life now. I'm discovering myself again.

Anybody else’s periods gone crazy!!!

Why am I having 2 periods in July!!!! 😡 I’m 38 used to have clockwork regular periods my whole life since having my last born (2 years ago via c-section) it’s all gone crazy. Some months just light spotting other times it’s a whole bloodbath and now I’m having multiple periods in 1 month!!!
Anyone else facing this?!
Is it perimenopause? Is it childbirth hormones?!

Cycle length

Cycle length going from 28 to 33 every other month hoping it’s not reason I’m not pregnant yet dr not worried about it any advice suggestions

Menstrual cycle

Has anybody’s menstrual cycle gotten back on track? Mine seems to be getting longer each month. Before pregnancy my cycle was naturally about 29 days and lasted five or six days . Now my cycle is over 30 days and I’m currently on two weeks of bleeding and it’s steadily getting heavier instead of lighter.
