So for backstory, please read all of this: I got the Mirena IUD inserted January 2020. Had no complications or side effects from it. I went last year to get the strings checked and then again this month to get the strings checked because I am SO PARANOID ITS GOING TO MOVE AND NOT BE EFFECTIVE...

Started in June and since about September or October I would have spotting or a very light period around day 14/15 of my cycle. and then my period comes when it’s supposed to each time. I’m confused as to why this is happening. I am scheduling an appointment with my gynecologist soon to get put...

Alright y’all I have a question that may or may not even be able to be answered. My last actual period started 3 weeks ago (7/23). I got to see my bf for the first time in 4 months and just out luck, the condom broke. So I took a Plan B less than 48 hours after the incident about 2.5 weeks ago...

I just got my copper IUD (Mona Lisa N) inserted like 3 days ago. The insertion was pretty weird and painful.

Hi there! I came off of hormonal birth control (the pill) in December 2022. I began tracking my cycle with Natural Cycles. I experienced a withdrawal bleed really soon after and then 3 periods (NC was only able to truly detect 2 of the ovulations), with the last one being in March Since then I...

i had the hormonal coil put in today- insertion was painful but bearable with painkillers taken before hand. the pain got a lot worse when it was in, and i couldn’t sit up without almost fainting for over an hour. i spoke to the doctor and she said she wasn’t too concerned but to go to a&e if...

Preventing pregnancy! I take the combo pill. My pill time is 2 p.m. With time moving forward I'm confused as to how to proceed taking my pill. I had sex 3 days ago with my partner. We also used condoms and pull out but still the pill gives me extra comfort. I normally take a pt each time we...
