Going to the Gynecologist

November 10, 2013 · Add Comment

Have you ever been to an obstetrician/gynecologist or Ob/Gyn for a pelvic exam and Pap test? If your answer is “no” and you are 21 or older, pick up your phone today and make an appointment with your doctor or a family planning clinic in your area.

October 21, 2012 · 15 Comments

I had sex on Thursday (29th of March) and last night (2nd of April). It was protected (condom + lots of lube to be extra careful it didn't break because of dryness). I've gotten in the habit of checked and tracking my cervix/cervical mucus these past few months and noticed something really unusual today. My cervix is extremely high, pretty much almost impossible to touch almost as if it was elongated, very hard and closed. It's been like that all day.
