Every time I took anything my gynecologist prescribed vaginally, I had a MEAN yeast infection…. While still having BV!! Well after paying for over $500 in visits and no results, I w

Yesterday, someone said something to me that could’ve easily pulled me out of character. And if I’m being honest… the old me would’ve responded. I would’ve matched the energy. I would’ve said something back. I would’ve made sure I wasn’t disrespected. But this time… I didn’t. I staye

My husband told me the other night that our family “won’t be complete” until we have a boy. We already have two beautiful daughters, and I was honestly speechless. He said it’s about “carrying on the family name,” but to me it just sounds outdated and hurtful. I love my girls more than anything, a
