Hi 👋 I’m just wondering if anyone can help? We recently had a cancelled cycle as my womb lining wasn’t thick enough. I stopped my meds and had a withdrawal bleed. Does anyone know when I should have my period?

I've had period pain since I was 15 and each year the pain only gets worse. When I became 18, the pain became crippling. The pain will start mildly a week or two before I start my period.

hi all, I’m just looking for some advice really. Basically a few years ago I was under the gynaecologist team in the old city where I lived. They suspected that I had endometriosis but this has never been confirmed. Two years ago I moved towns so got discharged from them and haven’t seen my local gynaecology

So I have noticed that on my periods I get exceptionally breathless doing normal things like brushing my teeth or talking. It only seems to appear when I start bleeding and stops when my period does. This is new for me, and honestly felt a bit wheezy when I went upstairs. I bleed super heavy but my iron

Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and know a possible reason for chest tightness and pain that started exactly when my period did a few weeks ago.

hi ladies. I very rarely post here as I was lucky enough to have my daughters ages 4 and nearly 2 after a tough 7 year journey for our first. We have also had 4 miscarriages and 1 late loss. I have been a serial early tester after having our first daughter too scared after a long journey with her

I had a Mirena coil put in 2 years ago due to PCOS and irregular periods. From the last 3 months (Oct 2023), every time I'm on my period I have had a few minor leaks, sometimes its just a drop or two.

Hi there, I am trying to find a combined pill which doesn’t severely affect my mood - any advice? So far I’ve tried Yasmin and Millinette and both have led to low mood and severe anxiety. I only took Yasmin for a week and persevered with Millinet for 3/4 weeks. I’m hoping to run pills back to back

hi there, I wonder if anyone can help please. We did our first fresh embryo transfer at the end of November and I came on my period in the 2ww. I was told to wait for my next period then we can go ahead with a FET- my period was due last Tuesday and still no sign of it. I’m experiencing a lot of discharge

Hello all! This could be a long story but few months ago my blood pressure was high each time I saw my GP they decided to take me off the combined pill (I already have implant in my arm its just over a year old). Using two methods have helped my flares remain at bay. When they took me off combined
