I’m trying to balance work, kids, and my health, but whenever I get too stressed, my periods stop. Does stress really affect fertility that much 😭😭😭😔

I used to think endometriosis only mattered if you were trying to conceive, but even after having my baby, I still get really bad cramps and bloating every month.

I read that PCOS can make it harder to ovulate, but is there a way to track or tell when I’m actually ovulating if my cycle is so irregular?

MIL says i shouldnt consume too much sugary because it'snot good for uterus. but can't help it especially since i'm breasfeeding 😔😔

Doc, my mum had early menopause at 42, and I’m worried I might have hormonal issues earlier too, should I get checked early? 32 yo

I feel so frustrated sometimes because no matter what I do, my energy levels are low and my period symptoms are strong.

Hi, I’m breastfeeding and I still haven’t gotten my period back after almost 10 months. Is that okay normal

Doc I’ve heard people say that having a baby can “reset” your hormones is that true??

I’m planning for another baby, but my cycles are irregular. How do I even start trying...

I had my first baby last year, but now my periods are crazy again. Is that normal?
