Hey there! I'm 21 years old and I recently bought a house with the love of my life about 6 months ago (yay!). We've been together for a little over 3 years. I've been on birth control since I was 16 years old. I've tried pills, Depo, and my last form of birth control was Nexplanon.

I got my Nexplanon removed about 3 weeks ago (best decision I've made this year - hated that stupid rod) and I've already noticed a significant improvement in my mental and physical health. Anyway, I started my period the week after I got it removed, and no, I've decided not to take any more birth control. I have my own home, an awesome full-time job with great benefits, and my boyfriend and I are very financially stable. We're not married, though, and I would prefer to have a child after marriage. However, if life has other plans for us, I'm open to them. I got my period a week after, which I thought was kind of weird, but I know everyone is different. Now, this week and over the weekend, I’ve been experiencing a lot of extreme, clear, silky discharge. I’ve also been feeling very nauseous and have had some lower stomach pain. Is this normal, or could it be that I'm ovulating and my hormones are just going crazy at the moment?

Thank you! 🫶🏻
