As you may have noticed, we've been experiencing some technical issues with our VP.com site -- which includes, among other things, VP's rules. Obviously, we want to preserve and continue those community standards, but we think it's only fair that if we ask people to follow VP's rules, we should have them available and accessible at all times. To that end, this post (which will be stickied) will serve as a working version of those rules for the time being.

So I've tried doggy style with my boyfriend a few times (among other positions) and everything was ok but one day I was feeling a weird pain like cramps just below the underwear line, stronger on the sides and especially the right side. Does anyone know why ?
1 Hi long time lurker here finally made an account. So as the title says I found myself with some warts/papilloma both in my throat and on my cervix. I went to the GYN and ENT, pap smear is normal, so all they could say was to wait it out. Well I don't intend to do that and I like herbal treatments and I learned that thuja is good for hpv, the downside for me being the location of the infection.
I bought a thuja tincture (thuja occidentalis) and I plan to gargle with it abour 2x a day diluted in some water and for down there to soak a cotton ball in the same solution and insert so it sits on my cervix for a few hrs a day. Does this sound good could it work? Did anyone else try this before?

Was having cramping tonight and decided to check my IUD strings. As i felt around looking for them i could feel hard tissue inside my vagina that i had to get beyond to find my strings. Now i am panicking a bit. Cant really do anything about it until the morning, but my upcoming womens health appointment was recently canceled as my PCM left the practice that i go to for regular care. Worried that it may be uterine prolapse or potentially something even more concerning and i dont know if my insurance is going to cover care from one of the other doctors as they only work with a couple at that practice.
My partner and I had unprotected sex around my ovulation time. I had very mild cramping a few days laters, and have been exhausted, bloated, etc.
I was expecting my period this week, but it came 2 days early — which is also around 12 days after "conception" which could be implantation bleeding. My bleeding was light and came mid day, the bottome of my diva cup was filled overnight, was still light but filled a little of my diva cup day 2, and then was gone by what would have been day 3. It was very stringy and sticky. Not what I would assume spotting was, but I have never worn a cup during spotting before. I wish I just wore a pad, so I could tell what this would look like in that form. But do you think this is implantation bleeding or period? I got my IUD removed in end of April and my periods have been trying to regulate but are short. My last one was 3 days and came 5 days early. So this could also be a short early period. I hate not knowing what is going on. I have an appt with my doctor next week.
I was put on the birth control pill (Ortho Cyclin) as a teenager for terrible cramps which kept me out of school, throwing up all pain meds, and literally rolling on the floor asking to die.
I stayed on them for 22 years, despite not needing them for actual birth control (my partner and I are both women) because I feared that I would have symptoms like I did before I went on the pill.
I decided after my July period to go off the pill as an experiment. I'm nearing 40 and there are health risks with the pill. I did this in the summer because I'm a teacher, so I figured I had a little time to risk getting sick.
My August period came and went, and it really wasn't different than my periods were on the pill. It was a bit heavier, but the cramps were about the same, manageable with Ibuprofin. I noticed earlier that month that I was wetter down there than usual, maybe ovulation? It has been weird to, in my late thirties, suddenly not know my own body. Anyways, it went great! It was definitely manageable.
Now I'm having my September period, and it seems to be the same. The cramps aren't bad. Every month when I get my period though, I fear that the cramps will be debilitating again. Could it be that I just have so much residual birth control in my system from so many years of taking the pill? I fear that I'm not really feeling what its like without the pill yet, even though I haven't taken one in months.
If you went off or hormonal birth control after taking it for years, how long was it until your body was back to 'normal'?
I'm wondering if I should celebrate that I no longer need the pill and my periods have become manageable or fear that each month will be the month that I'm crying in pain again. I can't afford to miss work, ya know?
In other news, this is the first time in over 20 years that I haven't known exactly when my period was coming! I have to really look at a calendar and think about when my last one was. I'm not used to this! I've been wearing black pants for over a week now, just in case.
