Cloth reusable pads

This is probably a little “woo-woo” and not related solely to TTC but to menstrual health generally. I did a lot of research on the chemicals in cotton pads/tampons and the effect it can have on reproductive health. I ordered cloth reusable pads (I ordered from EcoWoman) and just had my first full day using them. I was worried because I typically have a heavy flow and also because I was worried they would be bulky. After the first full day I must say I was wrong! They are so comfortable, I’m not having any issues with flow and I have less cramps today than normal (which I’ve read can happen without the chemicals). I just wanted to share for anyone else out there who didn’t know this was a thing or was nervous to take the plunge. Highly recommend!

I’m going to give that a try, I too am sensitive and I’m actually allergic to most tampons so this might be a good alternative. Is it a lot of work to clean them?

I used Modibody period pants - they were absolutely amazing and I recommend them to everyone now. I could walk around the house in underwear and you wouldn’t know I was on my period. You can’t feel it or smell it!

Do they make all natural tampons? I hate pads lol

Best switch I ever made as well! Glad it worked well for you!

I switched from tampons to a period cup two years ago and it’s been the best change! Haven’t tried the reusable pads but definitely will!

Trying to remain positive!

This test is 9dpo, this is following a chemical pregnancy so I am trying to remain positive but its really hard! I feel like the line should be stronger? Anyone had similiar and it got stronger?

Child support

If a woman has been with a man who is not the biological father, but has signed the birth certificate and made threats, touched her inappropriately, and tried to contact Child Protective Services (CPS) on her behalf, can he sue her if he claims he’s not the father? If so, can she get a blood test to determine paternity and then remove him from the birth certificate? Also, if she puts him on child support?

Advice for ways to have a baby?

I ended up getting pregnant on a one night stand, and I’ve been a single mom the last 5 years. I thought I’d have met the one by now, but it hasn’t happened, and I want another baby. My daughter asks me every single day for a sister. We are both ready to expand our family, and I can handle being a single mom of two. I just don’t know what method of expanding our family is right for us. Any advice?

Fostering in my area will be near impossible for us. I looked into this first, and they have very strict restrictions for who can foster non familial children.
