I don't know what racism has to do with anything. And you have a right to choose which medication works best for you. Tell your doctor, don't ask him, to call in your name brand medication. If he doesn't, then call medicaid, talk to your case worker, and request a new doctor. Tell them your situation with the name brand medicine working better for you, I'm sure they may be able to help you. Good luck.

yes it is normal for a young person to have painless periods because you are just beginning to have them. Also you probably dont have the "clots" yet so i definatly wont hurt.... if you have ne more questions contact me at [email protected]

im on birth control ( for about 2 years now, same pill) and for the first time my period came twice this month. i had it at the end of oct/ beg of nov and then a week passed once it was over, i had sex with my boyfriend, and then right away it came back, full blast, pain and all. and i usually have pain only on the first day, but its been like 4 days and i'm sitll in a lot of pain. whats going on? my period isnt suppost to start until the end of next week. \n\nis this normal for someone on birth control because for the past two years my period came on the same day every month. nothing extra.

Since you are having pain plus the unusual period you need to call your doc and let him know. His nurse will call you back and tell you what he wants you to regarding this.

OK first off those are called blood clots which are completely normal during your period as your body collects the blood for 28 days. It is just a normal thing for you body to do and there is nothing to be worried about. If you are concerned then talk to your gynecologist. He/She will be able to give you more information and reassure you that this is completely normal.
|
Just mucus from your vagina. Perfectly normal. This helps keep that area clean, and when you are ready for sexual activity, it also helps in allowing an easier passage for your partner. Now, it is vitally important to keep that area clean as too much moisture can give you a yeast infection. Just regular bathing or showering with water will do the trick. If it bothers you too much, buy some pantie liners. They will draw the moisture away from your body. And if you haven't had your period yet, this could be a precuser. Hope this helped.

It's pretty easy. Schedule an appt. with your OB/GYN and tell him what you want done. They'll put you in stirrups first and then draw blood from your arm. Cervical swabs and blood tests tell the rest of the story.

SEE A DOCTOR.\n\nUnder any circumstance, a doctor can walk you through whats going on and advise you how to take care of your body.\n\nPregnant: You should know ASAP, so you can learn how to take care of your body. . . A doctor is one person who is there to help you. You need to be looking after taking care of this baby. RESPECT LIFE.\n\nNot-Pregnant: Are you athletic/too skinny? Overly athletic women can skip their periods. A doctor will still be able to educate you on how to deal with your body and the changes that are making you skip your period. \n\nI distrust doctors too, and if you're young you may be worried about how to get mom & dad to take you to the doctor, but these are little challenges that you are capable of taking care of.\n\nBest wishes

You sound pregnant to me. Go get a home pregnancy test ASAP and then quit smoking as soon as you can (not only is it good for the baby, but it will probably make you feel better). Cut back on caffeine and spicy foods and keep tums handy if you are already getting hearburn. Weight gain so soon is not good though, you don't really want to gain weight for the first few months.

Can stress cause you to skip or delay your period? I'm almost 2 weeks late, and it's starting to bug me. I know I'm not pregnant since I haven't had sex, so that option is out of the question. I've been stressing alot about my classes, careers, and other things like that. If not stress, what else could it be? And what are some suggestions to this?
|
Stress could definitely be the cause, but don't just assume it's the cause in your specific case. If you miss more than one, you should go see your doctor. Other possible causes: poor nutrition, extreme loss/gain of weight, extreme increase in physical activity, drug use (including some medications), or problems with pelvic organs.
|
As a group we did one on Short Term Memory. There are tests on line that you can give the class. Nutrition, stress and trauma are some of the biggest things that can affect short term memory. If you want the web sites for the tests let me know and I can get them to you.\n\n We handed out candy bars for the best answers and fruit for the nutrition part.

I'm looking forward to gain some weight but i've heard there are lots of products out there and i dont know what to get.I know anabolic products can be bad for your health
|
If you mean anabolic steriods... they're bad. Lots of side effects. Don't go there.\n\n\nIf you want to gain weight/muscle mass, then you need to eat more calories than you burn. Eat healthy food with lots of nutrients, and try to do strength training as well. Don't forget to develop your cardiovascular endurance, flexibiliy and such as well, so that you stay healthy overall. Supplements and stuff aren't always the best answer.

I have no energy or drive to do anything. I suffer from depression and I take medication for it. I've had a hysterectomy. I only want to sleep. Can't take estrogen replacement therapy because of cancer in my family.
|
Ask your doctor to run thyroid tests, hormone tests including testosterone. HRT can be done in other ways not just a pill or a patch. There are compounding pharmacies out there that make natural hormone replacement like estrogen cream, and micronized natural oral progesterone that don't carry the risks that the mainstream drug companies products do. Suzanne Summers wrote a very good book about this about 2 yrs ago.\nTestosterone can be helpful for women but the testing should be done first.

Im not a big person...but i have noticed weight gain around my stomach and hips...i want to take it off and stay on the pill...can anyone reccomend anything?
|
I would recommend that you look at the side effects of your particular type of pill the next time you fill your prescription. The pill can definitely cause weight gain for some people. There are quite a few low dose birth control pills that are still effective but may not cause as much weight gain. I would ask your doctor to recommend a new one.

came again on the 25th... don't know why this happened. Although I have a 28-day cycle and sometimes it comes 3 days earlier or later, this is the first time it came back soon after 2 weeks. I'm so worried. Is this just stress-related or something is really wrong with me?
|
Remember, our bodies are not machines that work exactly the same way every month. No one is exactly perfectly every 28 days all the time - I have had a few times where I didn't have a period one month and I wasn't pregnant, then the next month there is was again.\nAnd sometimes 2 in one month (our bodies don't know how to read a calendar, so what is a month on paper isn't necessarily a month in our systems with hormones, stress, diet, and so many other things affecting everything about us.
|
It depends on your hospital/laboratory location and turn around. By cytology, I assume you mean a pap test. Most labs have a 72 hour turn around but a fixed % are read by a pathologist (MD/DO) as well as a cytotechnologist. Abnormal results may also take a little longer to finalize.\n\nA general rule in 3-5 business days.\nGL

if you have come off the pill 3 months ago? i was alwasy very regular before i was on the pill and while i was on the pill - i have done a pregnancy test which was negative - bit i am concerned as to why i have not had a period 5 days late??????
|
It all depends how long you were on contraceptives. The longer you were, even if you came off it, the longer it will take for your body to find its hormonal and natural balance again. The estrogene pill is the one that will give you that type of irregularity. I take you were on those, specially if you are under 40. The progesterone anticontraceptive wont give you that as it is a much milder drug, usually prescribed for females over 40s, when the risk of pregnancy is considerably lower.
|
It really depends on how long her cycle is. Usually ovulation is in the middle of your cycle, so if you have a 28 day cycle ovulation would be around the 14th day. Sperm can live up to 72 hours after ejaculation. Even without ejaculation, there could be pre-ejaculate material which does contain sperm. If she does miss her period, it is best to have a blood test done as these are more accurate than a home pregnancy test.

I have a long distance boyfriend and I just counted and it seems I'm due for my period just a couple days before I'm going to see him. I used to control my periods all the time when I was on the pill but I switched to the Nuva Ring about a year ago. If I take the Nuva Ring out a week early, will I get my period right away and be able to have it over and done with in the normal amount of time? Or is the Nuva Ring more regulated and not as reliant on me taking it in and out?
|
Well... you MIGHT be able too, the real problem your going to come up with is since nuva ring is such a low hormonal dose, your period may not trigger.... And you might be able to become pregnant. \n\nYou can try though.. and if it doesnt... well.. tough luck for him =)

I keep hearing about the risk of blood clots and other stuff but i see no effects on me yet. is any one else out there satisfied with it?
|
I was on the patch but I got off of it because of all the hype. It gives you a lower dose of estrogen throughout the week but actually provides a lot more total estrogen to your body. I switched to tri-phasil because it mimics your cycle (any triphasic). Triphasics mean that it has 3 levels of hormones in the pack. I would try one of these. I just thought I would be safe. I don't really have time for a blood clot.

-Do you HAVE to have high blood pressure to be a diabetic? (Can you be a diabetic if your blood-pressure isn't high?)\n\n-If you go to a doctor, and they take a urine sample to check your kidneys... they would be able to tell if you had diabetes, right?\n\n-Does diabetes have anything to do with high-blood pressure? Does it have anything to do with your kidneys?\n\n-Could you tell if someone had diabetes from a urine sample... or do you NEED a blood sample?\n\nIt would be great if you could answer these questions. Thanks a lot!
|
1-Diabetes and high blood pressure do not have to coexist, however if both are present then that person is at increased risk for atherosclerosis, stroke, myocardial infarction, renal failure, diabetic retinopathy, etc.\n\n2-Only if your blood glucose is over the saturation limit for the glucose transporters in your kidneys. In otherwords, only if your blood glucose is very high...300+.\n\n3-Diabetes can cause diabetic nephropathy; basically your elevated glucose levels, over time, will glycosylate your fenestrated capillaries in your kidneys, causing them to lose their selective properties. This will lead to an increased amount of protein found in your urine - proteinuria. If left untreated, this will lead to outright kidney failure.\n\n4-A blood test, usually a glucose tolerance test, will confirm a diagnosis of diabetes. Glucose found in the urine could be due to other reasons besides diabetes, so the blood test would be needed.\n\nRemember, hypertension and diabetes are not necessarily linked, they just happen to be found together quite often since the risk factors for both diseases are similar (ie. poor diet, obesity, sedentary lifestyle). However, when both these conditions are present, they act synergistically, significantly increasing the risk of myocardial infarctions, stroke, retinopathy, atherosclerotic disease, renal failure, etc.\n\nBottom line; eat right and exercise.

The symptoms you described are pregnancy symptoms, but they're also the symptoms of a woman late for her period and freaking out wondering why. Believe me, I know. ;)\n\nYou're only a couple of days late, but I'd see your doctor if you're confident that you're really late. He or she can give you a blood test to determine if you are pregnant or not by measuring the quantity of pregnancy hormone in your blood. This is called a quantitative hCG test. It will tell you for sure if you are pregnant or not and you can have it done right now if you want because you are already late for your period and your levels only have to be greater than 2 to show pregnancy (whereas with a urine test, they have to be 25 or more). If you aren't pregnant, you should ask your doctor to help you figure out what's keeping your period away.\n\nThe bigger question, though, is whether or not you're trying to get pregnant. If you are, you're likely to have trouble. A 21-day cycle is not really long enough, usually, for your body to properly ready itself for a pregnancy and then give a fertilized egg long enough to implant. I'd suggest charting your temperature to make sure you're ovulating. I also suspect that if you are ovulating, you have a short luteal phase, where the fertilized egg doesn't have enough time to implant before you start your period, which can be corrected with medication. You should really see your doctor if you are trying to get pregnant.\n\nIf you are not trying to get pregnant, stop having unprotected sex! There are about a zillion birth control methods, and if you don't want a baby, you should use one. I'm not trying to be harsh, but there's no reason to be having unprotected sex when you don't want a baby. If you think birth control is expensive, try raising a child. You can probably get birth control free or at relatively low cost at your local health department or Planned Parenthood.\n\nGood luck, and I hope you get the outcome you want!

fainting. not sure what that could mean or if it has to do with my periods?
|
Sounds like it could be an iron deficiency to me, but to be safe; were the physicians you talked to general practitioners? If so you probably weren't getting a good answer. I know a lot of good GPs but they sometimes tend to minimize symptoms. Personally, I would want more than blood work done for something as potentially serious as that. Of course there are other reasons for syncope (fainting), I would say an Electroencephalogram (EEG) is definitely in order as well as possibly a CT scan! You might want to try some over the counter iron supplements and see if it helps, but I would be in contact with a neurologist asap, s/he will take your syncope very seriously and help you to resolve it.

Starting the pill will affect the amount you bleed. It may stop entirely or you may spot constantly (I've seen both). It is unlikely you had a miscarriage. If you had you would have been bleeding profusely (enough hat you would have known something was wrong and done to the hospital).

Low sex drive..........?
|
The Pill can affect your sex drive. Any time you alter your body's chemistry and hormone balance you can be pretty sure it will affect your sex drive. This is what the Pill does to prevent pregnancy. Maybe you should talk to your doctor about switching Pills or try another method of birth control. You can try charting your cycle for a natural method of birth control but natural methods are not as reliable for preventing pregnancy. What is worse - not having a sex drive or having a surprise pregnancy? I had a surprise pregnancy four years ago and would not go back and change a thing!

I had the same thing happen. I used m/s b4 bed and woke up sweating and burning and bleeding bright red. The irritation from the monistat was worse than the infection. I called the number on the monistat package and they said it DOES happen but is uncommon. They refunded my money (save the pack and call the number) and told me to go to the gyno. By the time I got to the gyno he said it could have been the monistat or irritation from the applicator. I think it was the monistat. I'll never use it again.\n\np.s. the bleeding went away a few days after the monistat did. It has to wear out as it is in a oily base and water is useless. I used the 1 time ovule... it was a nightmare.

what can I do to stop excrutiating pain when I get my period?
|
You should start taking an over-the-counter pain reliever (the best for menstrual pain is Aleve), two tablets 3 times daily, 2-3 days BEFORE your period is due to start and continue until it stops. Also, put a heating pad or hot water bottle in your lower abdomen at the first sign of cramps. For pain relief on-the-go, you can use a self-heating, self-sticking pad like "CUREHEAT Menstrual Relief" or "ThermaCare Menstrual" (look for them on the woman's care section of your local pharmacy). Since menstrual pain is often caused by blood clots that are too large to pass through your cervix (the opening of the uterus), you can do what I do myself, and have teached my teen daughter to do: sit on the toilet and strain like you do when trying to hard to urinate; most of the time, this dislodges the clots and offers great relief when they are expelled. Get lots of rest and keep yourself well hydrated. If these measures don't help, go to your gynecologyst, since you could have a condition such as ENDOMETRIOSIS or an hormonal imbalance that might require medical treatment like oral hormonal medications (usually the Pill), stronger analgesics, or even surgical intervention (in extreme instances). Only your doctor can accurrately diagnose and treat these conditions. I hope that my advise has been helpful, and that you get better soon.

You need to read more about this condition. It really does require a doctor's care. Going to a gynecologist really is no big deal. You are not there to get a date, but you are there for medical care. Doctors could really care less about pimples or dark spots on skin. They are not going to be rating you on a scale of 1 to 10, nor are they going to post what they have seen on a bulletin board for all to see. Your visit is confidential and doctors take this very seriously. Please go get checked by a physician. Even a Planned Parenthood in your area could help you get started.\n\nThese are the things that you can experience without medical treatment: Urinary tract infections and other urinary symptoms may occur due to the frequently associated cystocele. Constipation and hemorrhoids may also occur as a result of the associated rectocele.

I would think it would be because of the antibiotics they gave you. Antibiotics kill the good and bad bacteria that live in the body. We require the good bacteria to keep things balanced.

I've been on the ring for about 3 years. I love it. I actually chose not to get my period at all so I cange it the 1st of every month. My OB said it was fine to go without getting my period at all or I can go every three months...at the end of my third month I would take it out for a week then put a new one in on the 1st as usual. But I had stopped using it back in April since my husband and I had decided to try to have another baby. I noticed that my sex drive has increased a bit since I am no longer using it...I had realized during the 3 years of using it, that my sex drive had slowly decreased, I thought it was because I had a baby and I was tired and stressed with work, my daughter and keeping up the house. But I think now that the birthcontrol had a little to do with it too. But other then that the Nuva-Ring was GREAT...at first my husband felt it...but after a few times he didnt even notice it. Good Luck!

Can there be any serious complication when i use the iud mirena?
|
I have a Mirena IUD and I love mine! The first month I got it, I have really bad cramps, but after that, I was fine. My periods are very light now, I don't have cramps, my periods last 3 days, and best of all, I don't have to worry about becoming pregnant! : ) My Dr. didn't inform me of any serious complication...I haven't had any. I had my IUD put in Nov. 05. \nThere's lots of info. on their website. www.mirena.com

I'm not on my period but I'm bleeding, help?
|
I think you should call your gynecologist or doctor and ask them, it could be a number of things. It's better to be safe than sorry.
|
Most clinics take walk-in's but if you don't have health insurance you will most likely be looking to pay for the visit up front. Good place to go without health insurance, Boston Medical urgent care/emergency room. But if you have health insurance like Blue Cross, Harvard Pilgrim, etc, call 617-421-8888 Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates and ask about being seen by a doctor. They will be happy to assist you with additional questions you may have.

How come a female bleeds lightly 2-3 days then bleeds again the next week without her cycle being regular?
|
That is a question that you should check with your GYN....it's not normal and there can be lots of causes for it, but you should get it checked out. Uterine cancer can cause that, as well as polyps in the uterus, a number of hormone inbalances.....and I am sure a number of things....please get it checked out.....time is of the essence with some very treatable conditions....don't wait too long!! Good Luck!

Do you have a fever? If you have a fever go to the ER. This could be toxic shock syndrome, caused sometimes by IUD's. The IUD has a removal string henging into the vaginal area that can act like a conduit for bacteria to get into the uterus, from there, it can get into your blood stream and cause a serious blood infection. It might not be toxic shock, but it sounds very serious. Get checked.

Anyone been or is on the birthcontrol shot? Can you still get pregnant?
|
There is never a 100% protection. Yes you could be pregnant but then again your body may just be coming off the side effects of the depro evra. I quit the pills and a week later I was pregnant. I was thinking that it would take a few months to conceive. Some women it will take up to a year for their body to dispel all the depro from their system. Just depends on how your body reacts to this medication.

Why would immature cells show up one week in periphial blood work, but not the next?
|
They grow up. Cells mature in your body. They may have been there that week because something happened that your body wasn't used to (strenuous exercise, illness, changed in eating habits). So it put out extra (immature) cells to handle the workload.\nIt's hard to explian, but it's normal for someone to have an abnormal test once in a while. This is why doctors have you come in for a second test. To make sure that it's only once in a while.

Why do some people say I can still be pregnant and have normal periods?
|
Question: Can I be pregnant and still have periods?\n\nBabyCentre Editorial Team: No. Once your body starts producing human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) — the pregnancy hormone — and pregnancy is established, your menstrual cycle is interrupted and normal periods will stop. However, many women do experience bleeding during early pregnancy (for several reasons — see below) that may look very much like a normal period. This can make establishing your due date difficult, since midwives and doctors often use the first day of your last period to determine your due date. If that's in any doubt, measuring how big your uterus is may help them determine how far along you are. And if that's inconclusive, your midwife may decide to send you for a dating scan to measure the size of your baby and clarify exactly when he is due.\n\nMany women who have spotting in early pregnancy go on to have their baby without any complications, but bleeding can also be a cause for concern. It may be the first sign of a miscarriage; if so, your symptoms would probably go on to include heavy cramping and bleeding that is much heavier than a normal period. If you have sharp pains in your lower abdomen, especially if the pain is only on one side, you should see your doctor straightaway as you could have an ectopic pregnancy.\n\nBecause of these potential complications, if you bleed at all early in your pregnancy, it's best to notify your doctor or midwife. She may suggest getting a blood test to check your hormone levels or order an early ultrasound to evaluate your condition more thoroughly.\n\nReviewed March 2006

what is da best way to relieve my self from cramps that i get from PMS??
|
Heat does help releive cramps. I usually just use a hot water bottle and elevate my legs. I've never heard of that medication the other response mentions, I always just take ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, etc.) To prevent cramps, its better if you wear pads instead of tampons. When mine are bad, I'll just wear tampons at work, and switch to pads as soon as I get home.
|
If it's in the middle of your cycle, it could be when you are actually ovulating. If so, the pain would be caused from the egg being released from the ovary.\n\nI guess my question to you is - does it happen every month? \n\nGood luck! (You may want to talk to your gynecologist.)

Don't be scared. Gyneacologists have seen many many of the same thing on women that they treat, including privates!! It may hurt, but it will hurt more in the long term if you don't get it treated now. If you are worried about seeing a male, then you should look for a women gyneacologist who has the same physiology, they know how women feel and will be gentle. You could also mention your fears to her and i'm sure she will try to be more gentle and understanding. Please don't hold off on going to see a gyneacologist because things of this type need to be seen immediately. Good luck :)

I haven't had my period in almost 3 months. What's wrong with me?
|
It seems to me that your diet may be a bit strong. You have amenorrhea, often found in anorexic women... If you haven't lost that much weight, go see your doctor, get a pregnancy test, slow on the diet. When was your first period anyway? During the first couple of years the cycles can be completly weird, so it could be nothing at all. Your doc may advice you to take birth control pills to regulate your cycles, it's really helpful.
|
See a doctor, and request a second opinion from a cardiologist. Doctors tend to dismiss healthy-looking young people as being hypochondriacs or just panic attacks, when it could be a simple heart condition treated with medication. Insist on seeing a cardiologist and/or having an echocardiogram - NOT an EKG, which will not detect valve problems.\n\nIt could be panic attacks, could be mitral valve prolapse. Either way, see a doctor because both are easily fixable and there is no reason for an otherwise healthy young lady to suffer.

What does having a thin uterus mean? what are the health risks?
|
I am not sure what they meant by thin uterus. The lining is usually referred to as the endometrium. That is the part of the uterus which sheds if there is not a pregnancy, hence, you have your period. Your endometrium thickens and thins out monthly with your cycle. If you were expecting your period soon, and the endometrium was thin, then that might be why you are having trouble getting pregnant. \n"Until your endometrium thickens, there is no way that a fetus can implant into the endometrium. If your endometrium is thin, it may be a good idea to go on birth control pills for a few months, until the endometrium is again thick. Then stop the pills and start trying to conceive. I would suggest that you discuss all of this with your gynecologist." http://experts.about.com/q/ObGyn-Pregnancy-issues-1007/endometrium.htm\n\nAs for the cysts, you need cysts in order to get pregnant. Your egg is released via a cyst:\n\n"The most common types of ovarian cysts are follicular and corpus luteum, which are related to the menstrual cycle. Follicular cysts occur when the cyst-like follicle on the ovary in which the egg develops does not burst and release the egg. They are usually small and harmless, disappearing within two to three menstrual cycles." http://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/ency/ovarian_cysts.jsp\n\nRetroverted uterus:\n\nUterine position has no effect on fertility. A tipped uterus will usually right itself during the 10th and 12th week of pregnancy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retroverted_uterus

It's not dangerous at all. You might want to check with your dr. just to be sure, though. But I know they've got those new pills out that let you have only 4 periods a year or something and that's probably because there aren't any placebo pills in the packs. Good luck and have fun! :D

The people that need it the most get more. They can't be expected to pay as much as everyone else when they don't make as much.

Don't worry about how much money everyone else gets, just concentrate on getting your work done and finishing school.

|
Your problem is the drinking. You would not have mentioned it if it was not often. At 18 getting cozy with getting blasted is a sign of alcoholism - at least in your near future. That is the problem. Your penis is telling you that it, too, is drunk and it is hard to get hard when it doesn't know which way is up. Also, the reason you can't get it up on occasion when you are about to get laid is because you need a drink so bad that your concentration goes to the booze, not the boozy broad you are about to do even though she is a sad sack herself. So, do your penis a favor and stop the flow of blood alcohol to the head so that it won't have a hang, you should excuse the expression, over when it has to go to work. Instead, pour some not so hot coffee on it when it is expected to perform.

Most pills are 99 percent effective, assuming that you take them everyday at the same time. Missing pills causes the percentage to go down. Also, certain types of medications can also inhibit the pill's effectiveness. This includes certain types of antibiotics, and I even heard smoking can lessen it's effectiveness.\n\nTalk to your doctor. You can also call Planned Parenthood.\n\nI've heard many cases where a girl got pregnant on the pill, but they all fell within one of the two categories:\n-missed pills\n-took drugs that inhibited it's effects\n\nAs long as you are smart about taking your pills, you should be fine. If you are super worried, you can always use condoms as well.

I am 17. Last night me and my girlfriend decided 2 do something different. we took our clothes off down to our underwear and then pretended we were having sex. (the normal positions etc) After she got off me we noticed a small patch of blood on my boxers and were not sure what the cause could be. is it serious or not? could she be pregnant? PLEASE REPLY
|
Sounds like spotting from her period to me. \n\nIf you were dry humping and have had no real intercourse then it's impossible that she became pregnant. The vagina is such a hostile environment that the chances of sperm making it past your underware, past hers, past the labia, and on and up is freaking impossible on levels I simply cannot verbalize. \n\nThe spot of blood *could* have been the breaking of her hymen if you guys were too rough, similar to what can occur when a virgin rides a horse. \n\nGiven no other extreme circumstances, and the assumption that you are not hiding anything (i mean why ask such a question and hide something unless you're a moron), then I am certain that she was spotting from her period. \n\nKeep in mind that spotting can occur many days before or after a period. If she has a fibroid (unlikely at her age but hey you never know) she could very well spot at any time during the month.\n\nSo yeah...not pregnant.
|
Nothing serious - as soon as you take off the patch your body is not getting the hormones (progestrin & estrogen) it needs to prevent you from ovulating. Once the patch has been off for 24 hours, your body will start a so-called cycle aka break-thru bleeding.\n\nInstructions straight from their website read as follows:\n\nFor less than 24 hours: Try to reapply your patch or apply a new patch immediately. No backup contraception is needed and your "Patch Change Day" will remain the same.\n\nFor more than 24 hours, or if you are not sure for how long: Start a new 4-week cycle immediately by applying a new patch. You now have a new Day 1 and a new "Patch Change Day". You must use backup contraception, such as a condom, spermicide or a diaphragm, for the first week of your new cycle because you may become pregnant during this time.\n\n\nJust so long as you used back-up, you will be okay. Your body is just adjusting to the hormones. If however, you did not use back-up, you had better get a pregnancy test.

There are several causes of PCOS and you have to see your gynie to find out what yours is. She may put you on Provera to regulate your menses and keep cysts away but if you have hormone imbalance problem then you may need to be prescribed with something else.\n\nA traditional way to regulate menses and reduce PCOS symptoms is to take oak gall tablets. I don't know where you're from but oak gall (or manjakani) is common in Asia. You can find oak gall drinks in cans too. They taste yummy. Try your local herb shop or pharmacy to see if they have oak gall tablets. Good luck!

Getting another period and pads are annoying.
|
How do you insert a tampon?\n\nYou may be worried and nervous about using your first tampon. Talk to your mom or a friend who has used tampons. It is important to first learn how to use a tampon and then, just relax! The more you relax, the easier the insertion will be. When you are nervous, your muscles tense up, making insertion even harder. For your first time, you may want to try using a tampon when your menstrual flow is heavy; this should allow the tampon to glide in more easily. Choose the smallest size tampon for the first time. By following these simple guidelines, and those that come with your package of tampons, your first experience with tampons should be easy.\n\nSit or stand in a comfortable position. Some women prefer to place one leg on the toilet seat or tub, while others prefer to squat down. After you find a position that is most comfortable for you, hold the tampon with the fingers that you write with. Hold the middle of the tampon, at the spot where the smaller, inner tube inserts into the larger, outer tube. Make sure the string is visible and pointing away from your body.\n\n\nWith your other hand, open the labia (the folds of skin around the vaginal opening) and position the tampon in the vaginal opening.\n\n\nGently push the tampon into the opening, aiming for the small of your back. Stop when your fingers touch your body and the applicator, or outer tube, is completely inside the vagina.\n\n\nOnce the applicator or outer tube is inside of you, use your index finger to push the inner tube (the tube where the removal string is connected) through the outer tube.\n\n\nOnce the inner tube is all the way in, use your thumb and middle finger to remove the applicator or outer tube. Make sure that the string hangs outside of the vaginal opening. Later, in order to remove a tampon, just pull downward on the removal string. \nIf the tampon is inserted correctly, you should not feel it. If you feel uncomfortable in any way, you may have inserted the tampon incorrectly or the tampon may not be placed far enough into the vagina. If this occurs, just remove the tampon and start again with a new tampon. Remember that practice makes perfect. If you don't get it on the first try, your second try will most likely be successful. Instead of getting frustrated and giving up, relax and try again!

Nothing serious - as soon as you take off the patch your body is not getting the hormones (progestrin & estrogen) it needs to prevent you from ovulating. Once the patch has been off for 24 hours, your body will start a so-called cycle aka break-thru bleeding.\n\nInstructions straight from their website read as follows:\n\nFor less than 24 hours: Try to reapply your patch or apply a new patch immediately. No backup contraception is needed and your "Patch Change Day" will remain the same.\n\nFor more than 24 hours, or if you are not sure for how long: Start a new 4-week cycle immediately by applying a new patch. You now have a new Day 1 and a new "Patch Change Day". You must use backup contraception, such as a condom, spermicide or a diaphragm, for the first week of your new cycle because you may become pregnant during this time.\n\n\nJust so long as you used back-up, you will be okay. Your body is just adjusting to the hormones. If however, you did not use back-up, you had better get a pregnancy test.

birth contol makes ur breast grow bigger???
|
for the last time NO! this question gets asked daily... nothing will make your breast bigger permantly accept implants or padded bras... get over it people they are the size they are.

This stupid shot should be outlawed.\n\nDo a search online for Depo Horror Stories. There are dozens of websites that exist for the sole purpose of women telling about what happened to them as a result of taking it.\n\nI agree - get off the shot immediately!!!

Do I need to see a Doctor?
|
It could be your ovary, food moving through your intestines, or something else. \n\nSometimes ovaries get cysts on them. The cysts are benign (not cancer) but can hurt. They come and go and come and go and most of the time nothing bad happens, but very rarely one can twist or rupture. \n\nBest to see a doctor, especially if it hurts sometimes. More than likely, it's nothing, but it's best to see a professional.

I'm 24, not pregnant, but one of my breasts is lactating, any ideas?
|
This is a pretty common women's health issue. You should go to your care provider and have your thyroid and prolactin levels checked. Most of the time it's nothing, especially what you're describing. By the way, if you're already someone that has spontaneous breast discharge, breast stimulation can increase it.
|
You are still near seismically (sp) active areas. Could easily be influenced by that. Vegatative deacy? Near Livermore???? Lots of nasty things dumped in the ground out that way.

does the birth control pill make your breasts bigger?
|
Possibly because alot of times they cause weight gain, and it just depends where your weight gain manifests itself.

Totally normal!!! Every month is different, some you may have no symptoms, some you might have crying, anger, sadness, fatigue, cramps, bloating, cravings, sore breasts, swelling in other parts of your body!!! If any symptom last longer than 14 days, see a doc as a general rule...sadness/depression is only depression if it lasts constantly for more than 14 days...you're ok, relax!!!

|
Just relax, being that you had birth control in your system it affects the start time of your period. Don't worry just give it a little bit, and you can always contact your doctor about the matter. Also, being that you were spotting, it shows that your body is at least trying to prepare itself to officially start.

if your hair is black you cant do an at home treatment to make it blonde. you are lucky it came out light red instead of orange. i would call your hairdresser and make an appointment with her so she can do it for you. it will be more expensive but at least it wont fall out or turn orange. it should tell you right on the box that it is not made for black hair.and also if you dye your hair it will not be a natural blonde

Anyone on birthcontrol YAZ and having problems? Such as prolonged periods, more cramps?
|
If you are on Yaz, you should be having shorter periods rather than longer. It may be that your next cycle will be easier if you have just started taking it, but if not I'd suggest going back to your doctor and asking about a different pill.
|
Um, your insurance company is *supposed* to cover birth control. I don't think it's right for them not to cover it at all.\n\nI have an idea (not being sarcastic either, truthfully) call up your insurance company customer service line. Tell them that if they are not going to cover the cost of your birth control then they can pay for all of your birthing expenses and cover your baby too when it is born. That might get them singing a different tune because it is a HECK of a lot more expensive for an insurance company to have to pay thousands of dollars worth of birthing expenses, not to mention the cost of regular pregnancy checkups and ultrasounds. So you would think they would jump on a hot foot and offer you the coverage of birth control again for the much cheaper price of $50 bucks a month instead of paying the thousands of dollars if you do get pregnant while covered under their policy.

in the early stages of prgnancy, is there any discharge or other indicators besides breast tenderness and taking a prego test?
|
Pregnancy signs and symptoms occur either at the time of a missed period, or a week or two later. Symptoms include missed period, fatigue, tender and swollen breasts, implantation bleeding, nausea and or vomiting, food aversions, frequent urination, and increased sensitivity to odors. Not everyone experiences symptoms, and some people feel some but not all symptoms. Implantation bleeding occurs a bit earlier than expected, and it is scanty, spotty, pinkish and not red and heavy like a period, and does not follow the normal pattern of a period (light to heavy to light). If you feel you may be pregnant, your best bet is to wait at least two weeks after a missed period, and see your doctor for a blood pregnancy test as this is the most accurate way of testing.

I wish Doctors would tell people, but they definitely just soak up the money! I have a friend who is a definite hypochondriac. Evvvery day it's something new.

I did, and I had a GREAT time!!! I suggest visiting the campus first, before you decide to go there. Talk to students. Spend a FEW DAYS in the area. Find out what people do and how easy it is to get around, etc. Also, pick up real estate brochures, etc. It may be cheaper to live OFF campus. It was for me! Seriously, go check out the campus and talk to the people there. If you like it, go for it. If you don't like it, go somewhere you do like.

Ace has it right. That's very good advise. I just wanted to add that sometimes people are super sensitive to caffine, sugar and some preservatives. The reaction to these chemicals is anxiety. Journaling what you eat as well as what's going on around you may show that you're eating something that makes you feel like that.\nI know from experience. Caffine makes me crazy. If I have too much (any), I become convinced that my family members have died in a car crash, or are being victim of crimes. Even when I call them and know that they are safe, I end up calling everyone like 10 times. (see, I told you, crazy!) Maybe something like that is happening to you.\nRead a book called "Natural Cures They Don't Want You To Know About". It explains the reactions more.\nGood luck

hi all i can say is i was about 13 when i got my first period and they used to be regular but as time went on and i got more stressed i found my period became shorter and less often, when i went to my dr and asked about missing a period or two as i would miss them sometimes for 2-3 months in a row she said it was fine my body was just reacting to my health and nerves, then after i had my baby girl 3 yrs ago my period became regular every month when i started the pill i am on although it is only short. i truly wouldnt worry to much as like i said i have been unregular for yrs and became regular once i changed my pill also i will still miss a period if im really stressed out. i hope this can be of some help and comfort and i hope your Dr appointment goes well. take care.

Uh, this is kinda of a personal question, so sorry. But my lady part down there is really really sore and its like swollen. Do you know what could be wrong with me?
|
Hmmm you might have an infection of some sort, especially if you have slept with someone without protection. Make an appointment with your doctor ASAP.
|
Just mucus from your vagina. Perfectly normal. This helps keep that area clean, and when you are ready for sexual activity, it also helps in allowing an easier passage for your partner. Now, it is vitally important to keep that area clean as too much moisture can give you a yeast infection. Just regular bathing or showering with water will do the trick. If it bothers you too much, buy some pantie liners. They will draw the moisture away from your body. And if you haven't had your period yet, this could be a precuser. Hope this helped.

I have been taking the birth control pill Yasmin for just over 2 years and noticed after being off the pill for a few months in this span of time that I seemed to be more relaxed and experieced less anxiety when I was off the pill. Has anyone else experienced this or have any helpful knowledge about it?
|
One of the common side effects of hormonal contraception is anxiety. It can be fixed by going off the pill like you have or switching brands. Interestingly though, some women like me find that their anxiety is significantly lowered while taking hormonal contraceptives. It really just depends on your body chemistry. If you choose to go on 'the pill' in the future, talk to your doctor about your experience with yasmin to help you find a brand that will work for you without the anxiety.
|
Weed can actually help with the anxiety. It is calming you down. If you are unsure if you are ready to quit, you could try cutting down and see what happens. If you start getting anxiety attacks, but would still like to quit, talk to your doctor about putting you on meds to control your anxiety problems. \n\nGood luck. I hope everything works out for you.

Everyone is saying your pregnant BUT, we cant say for sure, all you said is that its fluid?? What else can you tell us is it clear pus like? You could just have a abcess and its seeping pus who knows? One of your ducts could be infected and your getting discharge. I mean clearly you would know if your pregnant, when you wouldnt get your period for a while take a pregnancy test etc... I think you need to be a little more specific so we can figure it out.

i just started my period im 14 and i dont really\nlike talking to my mom about this...\nhow do u insert a tampon???
|
These instructions should make first time tampon insertion easier:\n\n\nFirst, look at the tampon. The larger outer tube that holds the tampon itself at the very end is the top – this is the part that is inserted into the vagina. Think – top = tampon. The thinner inside tube is the one where the string is showing. This is the inner or bottom tube – the part that is used to push the tampon in. \nWash your hands. Stand or sit in a comfortable position. Sit on the toilet with your legs apart and lean slightly forward, or try standing with your knees slightly bent. Standing with one foot up on the tub also works for some girls. Most of the time, you'll end up putting in a tampon while you're on the toilet – so that's a good place to start. \n\nLook at the tampon applicator again – you'll see some ridges, this is the finger grip, on the larger tube. With the thumb and middle finger of one hand, hold the applicator lightly on the outer insertion tube at the grip location, with the larger outer tube facing up toward your body and the thinner inner tube pointing down toward the floor. \n\nWith your other hand, gently separate the folds of skin around the vaginal opening. Put the tip of the larger outer tube of the tampon applicator in the opening of the vagina. Are you still breathing?! Don't forget to! It helps you stay relaxed.\n\nThe vagina slants upward and toward the back. So, aim the tampon toward a point low on the small of your back (the curved area of your lower back). Now, take a deep breath, let it out, and relax. Then gently push the larger, outer tube of the applicator into the vagina. Stop when your thumb and middle finger are touching the vaginal opening. \nNOTE: For flushable (cardboard) applicator tampons, ease in the applicator by slightly twisting or rotating it from side to side. Don't twist a plastic applicator, this slides in best when pushed straight in at the proper angle.\n\n\nNext, put your index finger (or a finger on the other hand) at the end of the inner, thinner tube (where the cord comes out). Push this inner tube slowly until it's completely inside the larger tube. This pushes the tampon out of the applicator and into your vagina. Move your finger from the end so that the string hangs free. Keep your thumb and middle finger on the outer tube grip.\n\nNow, holding the tubes (that are now inside each other) firmly but gently remove them from the vagina. (The cardboard tubes can be flushed away.) (IF USING TAMPAX PEARL PLASTIC OR TAMPAX COMPAK, DO NOT FLUSH THE PLASTIC APPLICATOR OR WRAPPER.) Place the used plastic applicator back into the discreet wrapper or wrap it in toilet paper and throw it in the trash.) If the tampon is in correctly, you shouldn't feel it at all. If it feels uncomfortable, it's probably not placed far enough into your vagina. The uncomfortable feeling comes from the tampon rubbing against the muscle at the opening of the vagina. If this happens, remove the tampon and use a fresh one, trying to insert it a little deeper into the vagina.\n\nTo remove a tampon, relax your muscles. Slowly and gently pull the removal string downward at the same angle you used to insert the tampon. Don’t worry about the string – it’s securely sewn throughout the tampon. If you feel discomfort while removing the tampon, it probably means you didn’t need to change it because it hadn’t absorbed enough yet. You may either want to wear a tampon longer next time or use a lower absorbency.

i just dont want to go to the doctor because im not into having my pussy on display.
|
First of all this is not an std. It just happens and is no big deal. It will not just go away and the odor, discharge etc can only get worse. It is easily treated with metrogel or oral antibiotic. You have to distinguish it from other infections that can be more serious. i wonder how you received the diagnosis without being treated. BV with group B strep becomes a problem if you are pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant. Otherwise, it is as I said no big deal and easily treated. If you are shy about going to a doctor, find a good woman ob/gyn. Good luck.

I started taking prevacid 2 months ago, and I haven't had my period since, has anyone else had this problem?
|
I was only on Prevacid for a short time frome (about 3 months), but I missed mine 2 out of the 3 months. I would call the doctor though and see what they have to say. You may also want to take a pregnancy test if there is any chance at all you may be missing it for that reason. In that case they may put you on another med in its place (rantidine is what they put me on while I was pregnant). Don't lose any sleep over it, but still call and have it checked out to put your mind at ease. Good luck and take care!
|
It might be because of couple of factors: stress, anxiety, nutrition, dieting, excercise, or personal relationships either with significant other or the relationships that you have with your family and friends.\n\nThere might be nothing to worry about or it might something to be concerned about. If you're worried about your health, your best choice will be to see a Doctor who'll be able to lead you in the right direction, give expert advice as well as the right facts, and tell you what to do next. Don't worry, everything will be alright :)

I have been with my boyfriend for 8 months and i am 16. I want to have a kid with him so i know he will love me and be with me. what can i do
|
First, read what you just wrote.\nI want a kid so he'll love me.\nI want a kid so he'll be with me.\nThat is putting alot of pressure on that kid. And if married people with kids don't stay together, why do you think he'll stick with you? It'll get hard and he'll run. Did you ask him how he feels? Does he want a kid right now? Yeah, its your uterus, but its his sperm! Its not fair or right to try and trap a guy with a kid. And speaking of, you are still a kid. I know 16 year olds don't like to hear that, but its true. I thought I was grown. I had a kid at 18 and married the Daddy. I found out just how much of an adult I wasn't REAL FAST. If you love yourself, wait till you turn 18 and finish highschool. If you love him, give him the chance to become an adult and decide what he wants. If its real love, he'll still be around at 18 and you can marry, THEN have the kid. Usually, teenage fathers HATE the girlfriend that got preggy cause they aren't ready to be Dad's. Do you really wanna take that chance?

Abstinence for one thing.. Rhythm method is supposed to be a good way according to my Professors here at college. The rhythm method is timing your cycles so that you are aware exactly of the days you are able to conceive.. Those are the days, of course you wouldn't be having sex. It is about 14 days or 2 wks after your last period.. be absolutely sure that you don't have sex at the time. I would actually suggest 12 days after your period up to the 21 day mark. You will be more than happy with this type of rhythm. You can stay sex free for 9 days out of the month!! It works. Here is a site from Webmd.. about it.

Before I had my son, I had regular to date periods and they were normal..not too heavy & not too light and lasted for 5 days. After I had him, I had heavy but regular periods up until I took the Depo shot. I had either 2 or 3 shots. I had my last shot in July 2004. I was due for another one around the first of OCT. 2004. I havent been on any birth control since then. I had had VERY irregular periods.... all heavy too. Now all of a sudden out of no where I'm having mucus with a little bit of blood in it for 1 1/2 weeks. Is it the Depo affecting me still or could I be pregnant or what? (I heard sometime when someone is pregnant they have light periods... but this is just a bunch of mucus every now and then (about twice a day) with blood in it. and I didnt do that with my son at all!) I am goiong to the DR next week but I just wondered what yall think...lol\nThanks!!!
|
After having children the mucus discharge does thicken. The irregular bloody spotting with it probably means your system is a bit out of whack after having children and being off Depo. Talk to your OB/GYN and see if getting back on some kind of birth control will help regulate your periods again. If they continue to get worse though, they might consider a D&C or ablation. Stop using Depro though...it's now being related to bone disorders. Ask your dr. about the NuvaRing....it's easy to use and works very well. Regulated my periods immediately!

By the way, "the clap" is actually gonorrhea not chlamydia. Depending on how long you had it, yes it can infect the uterus and effect the uterine cycle of proliferation and menses.

Radiation from thousands of nuclear bomb tests. If you wait until night the green ones will glow. Or maybe they're just different colors like black people and white people.

Your period can start anytime during the row of green pills.\nMy period starts at the third pill.\n\nHowever, since you used to get your period before you start the green pills and you have been sexually active, get a pregnancy test because you could be pregnant. If you are pregnant, you need to know as soon as possible to know to stop taking the pills. Taking the Pill during pregnancy hurts the baby.

Okay I know that discharge is normal and all that and I'v gotten to where i can pretty much tell where im pretty much able to tell where I am at in my cycle by it, but i was wondering if all or most women discharge EVERYDAY and what not. I heard somewhere (some sex show) that women discharge up to the day of ovulation and then stop until their period. WHich is not true for me at all.
|
Discharge could mean one of two things: One, you have some type of vaginal/yeast infection or venereal disease...or TWO, YES, you are coming up on your period. If your discharge is milky and somewhat clear, it's healthy. If it is thick, with odor, and looks like cottage cheese see a physician immediately.

You will not be psycologically let down before your would be wife after you get married. TRY IT SINCERELY.

I really want a child, but I have very irregular periods and always have. Ive been to doctors they all say im normal but this isnt, How can you get pregnant if u are irregular. Please help me!
|
Have the Dr.'s given you any indication of why you're irregular? How irregular are you? Many women have undiagnosed PCOS (Polycystic ovarian syndrome). It is possible to conceive, but you will have to learn to determine when you are ovulating. Or, you may have to talk to your Dr. about using fertility medication.
|
There are several causes of PCOS and you have to see your gynie to find out what yours is. She may put you on Provera to regulate your menses and keep cysts away but if you have hormone imbalance problem then you may need to be prescribed with something else.\n\nA traditional way to regulate menses and reduce PCOS symptoms is to take oak gall tablets. I don't know where you're from but oak gall (or manjakani) is common in Asia. You can find oak gall drinks in cans too. They taste yummy. Try your local herb shop or pharmacy to see if they have oak gall tablets. Good luck!

I am 22 and have been with my husband for 7 years for about the last week it has been very uncomfortable to have sex it's not like a burning it just hurts and I don't know what it could be. I have never felt this before.
|
It could be several things; lack of lubrication, lack of excitement, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, bacterial vaginosis, open areas on your vaginal wall.............you really need to see your gyno and have an exam. This could be the sign of a serious condition.
|
If you have NEVER successfully used a tampon, then you need to see an ob-gyn before you try to do so. You may have a common condition to virginal women where the hymen has a "septum" or a piece of skin growing across it like a bridge across a ravine. This septum usually has a blood vessel in it and if you inadvertently tear it there will be a lot of blood and a lot of pain.\n\nIf, however, you have worn them successfully before, just not today, then you are probably trying to rush this and have tensed your muscles up. You could try some mild lubricant on the end of the tampon like KY Jelly or even baby oil.

Only you can answer this question according to what you believe. I personally do not think you wanting to have s** makes you a w****, it simply means you are a normal human.\nBut does my opinion help? You have to decide what is right for you, based on what you believe. Deep down I am certain that you know the answer to your own question. Once you recognize this answer, then stick to it, unless you feel a need to change, based on experiences.

I wish I'd have my periods every month but I have irregular periods ever since I was 16. If I use the birth control pills to regulate my periods, and I can get pregnant, but if I don't use the pills, then I can't get pregnant, weird huh? What's wrong?
|
You could have cysts in your ovaries, that's what I have, I've been having irregular periods every since I fist started, and I went to the gynecologist and I found out that I have cysts, but if you do have cysts you can have surgery to take them off, and you can have babies just fine!!! I've been taking birth control pills to regulate my period for 2 years as a treatment and they haven't worked at all, but I'm too young to have surgery(I'm almost 16), so I have to live with pain for a very long time!!! I would recomend that you go with your gyneacologist and get checked to see what's wrong!!!

There is a lot of talk about women wanting younger men these days. So, what are men really attracted to? Assume you were in your early 30s. Would you rather date a woman in her early 20s or in her early 40s? Why?
|
As long as they're young at heart it doesn't matter what age they are.
|
The best "sight" would be in the face of a great gynecologist--one who is very experienced with 10+ years, preferably a female gyn. A great one may confirm that is it rare, but not impossible at age 29, or that you just have something else. The suddenly on/off, heavy/light, short/long, etc., spotting might be perfectly normal, but if there's another reason, it is paramount that you follow the advice of that great gyn. Don't be afraid to ask how long any have been a gyn; it's to be expected, and if any gets upset, you don't want them to work with your body anyway. Additionally, try to breathe easily while you research on the internet and READ ALL THE SITES for all the information out there because they're not designed just for YOU, but for everyone to get those parts that are applicable to her and ignore those that aren't. Your body won't necessarily follow the IDENTICAL path in this area that others do. Each can be very different, like yours seem to be. It would be interesting to know how you determined those "12-15 signs," but try not to believe those relatives and friends until you see that great gyn. If necessary, see up to 5, like I did with my uterine tumors; the 5th one was the only one with the CORRECT diagnosis and treatment! Try not to "go crazy," because if it's actually menopause, you need to save that for all those likely "hot flashes." If it is really menopause, do whatever you need to do to stay comfortable--YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

first of all no question regarding your body is stupid. you should become attuned to your own body at a young age. you will need to know as you age. now if this is your first pelvic exam what you can expect is this: you will be asked to remove all of your clothing and put on a gown open in the front and a sheet to cover up with. then the doctor will come in with a nurse put your feet in the stirrups and have you slide all the way down til you are almost hanging off the table. he will then tell you to open your legs and will let you know he is going to touch you. you will feel his finger then he will insert the speculum. he will then quickly take a sample of tissue from your vaginal wall and cervix. looking also to make sure everything looks normal. then he will remove the speculum and then will insert one or two fingers into your vagina and press on your belly with his other hand. hence the term bi-manual. meaning two hands. then he will remove them and cover you and have you push yourself back up on the table and may or may not do a breast exam. i hope this answers your question. and ask questions if you have any, be proactive about your bady and health. no matter how silly you think it may be. the only stupid question is the one you never ask.

Go to beinggirl.co.uk. They have lots of advice about periods. When you buy tampons they have instructions in the box so you don't have to worry about noot knowing what to do. When you start you should just use pads for a while to get used to it and move onto tampons if you want.

I had mine when I was 35.

Here's what you do: Try to cut out dairy and meat completely or limit yourself to small servings every few days! Little or NO oil, fried foods. Every night and every morning, a glass of Lemon and water. Stevia, although more expensive is a natural sweetener and should be used instead of sugar. Use whole wheat bread and flour, white bread and flour sticks to your arteries. Eat only fruits up until noon. A LOT of esparagus. Good and healthy w/ soy sauce, mixed w/ little virgin olive oil, garlic and another spice you may wish to use. This will help avoid other strokes in the future. Remember to walk or swim, or do some sort of excercise daily, improving cardiovascular system. Best of Luck!

Your going to have to be patient.\nSome extreme few never do.\nUntil then you can buy bras with extra padding to feel a little more comfortable around other females who you are noticing are getting boobs already.\nYou could be just a little slow in developing.\nIf the situation does not change there is always plastic surgery you can opt for at least 18 if things don't change.\nIn the meanwhile, its not so uncool.\nMost models are not well endowed.

I was supposed to start my period 4 days ago, and I haven't yet. I have had my period since the last time I had sex, and my prescription for my birth control ran out about a month ago. Could my inconsistency of birth control in the last month be causing my period to be late? (Please only serious answers).
|
The inconsistency of birth control probably is your problem. I wouldn't worry if I were you.
|
I would recommend that you look at the side effects of your particular type of pill the next time you fill your prescription. The pill can definitely cause weight gain for some people. There are quite a few low dose birth control pills that are still effective but may not cause as much weight gain. I would ask your doctor to recommend a new one.

Please answer honestly: \n\nBecause i am a virgin, will it hurt loads more??\n\nWhat exactly will happen?\n\nWhat are the instruments like??\n\nPeople have told me that, i will bleed afterwards???\n\nReally need answers PLEASE. Thankyou

I first had a pelvic exam when I was a virgin too. I found it was uncomfortable and maybe, at times, mildly painful, but really nothing to worry over. The Dr will spray a lubricant before they put the speculum inside you to help ease any discomfort. I know this sounds impossible, but try to relax as much as possible, and this will also help things from being more uncomfortable. Most Dr’s will put a blanket over you while they examine you so you are more comfortable and feel less exposed. While you are there, you should also get them to do a quick breast exam to check for lumps (I don’t know if that’s a common part of the exam for where you are, but it is in my neck of the woods…and it’s better safe then sorry!) And don't worry about bleeding. If there is any blood, it will be a very small amount (ie, not enough to show up on your underwear) Afterwards, you might feel a little stretched but that will go away pretty quickly. \nGood Luck!

I have been taking Tinessa for four months to get my period regulated by my Dr. I usually start my period right before I get to the green pills. I've only taken one green pill. After tomorrow should I be concerned of pregnancy if period still does not start? I am married and of course sexually active with my husband and we do not use any other form of birthcontrol. This month I did miss a day and was told by the pharmasist to just double the dose the next day to catch up and I would be fine not to worry about pegnancy as long as we did not have sex during those days I missed the pill and until I was caught back up.
|
Your period can start anytime during the row of green pills.\nMy period starts at the third pill.\n\nHowever, since you used to get your period before you start the green pills and you have been sexually active, get a pregnancy test because you could be pregnant. If you are pregnant, you need to know as soon as possible to know to stop taking the pills. Taking the Pill during pregnancy hurts the baby.

Um, your insurance company is *supposed* to cover birth control. I don't think it's right for them not to cover it at all.\n\nI have an idea (not being sarcastic either, truthfully) call up your insurance company customer service line. Tell them that if they are not going to cover the cost of your birth control then they can pay for all of your birthing expenses and cover your baby too when it is born. That might get them singing a different tune because it is a HECK of a lot more expensive for an insurance company to have to pay thousands of dollars worth of birthing expenses, not to mention the cost of regular pregnancy checkups and ultrasounds. So you would think they would jump on a hot foot and offer you the coverage of birth control again for the much cheaper price of $50 bucks a month instead of paying the thousands of dollars if you do get pregnant while covered under their policy.

Im a bodybuilder and I have lost about 20 pounds in 3 months. So, is that why I havnt gotten it? I get the PMS symptoms and all but never the period. and my discharge is like, always crazy gushing nowadays.\n\n& im also a virgin. (just so nobody says something stupid like 'ur preggy.')
|
The rapid weight loss could have something to do with it. Are you taking any supplements? They could be a factor too. The bottom line though, is that this is something you should be discussing with your doctor and not the Yahoo community.

DO NOT practice with tampons without your period on. Tampons absorb liquid and will hurt pulling them out without them being blood soaked. If you buy a cheaper tampon you may fell it, but Tampon Glides are pretty comfortable.

I have 12 of 15 signs of early menopause but I have not had any kind of surgery or other procedure to send me into early menopause. please help me.\nI need a good source so i'm not driving myself crazy. i am only 29.

The best "sight" would be in the face of a great gynecologist--one who is very experienced with 10+ years, preferably a female gyn. A great one may confirm that is it rare, but not impossible at age 29, or that you just have something else. The suddenly on/off, heavy/light, short/long, etc., spotting might be perfectly normal, but if there's another reason, it is paramount that you follow the advice of that great gyn. Don't be afraid to ask how long any have been a gyn; it's to be expected, and if any gets upset, you don't want them to work with your body anyway. Additionally, try to breathe easily while you research on the internet and READ ALL THE SITES for all the information out there because they're not designed just for YOU, but for everyone to get those parts that are applicable to her and ignore those that aren't. Your body won't necessarily follow the IDENTICAL path in this area that others do. Each can be very different, like yours seem to be. It would be interesting to know how you determined those "12-15 signs," but try not to believe those relatives and friends until you see that great gyn. If necessary, see up to 5, like I did with my uterine tumors; the 5th one was the only one with the CORRECT diagnosis and treatment! Try not to "go crazy," because if it's actually menopause, you need to save that for all those likely "hot flashes." If it is really menopause, do whatever you need to do to stay comfortable--YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

No that is impossible, but because of your spelling of Soprano, I am going to assume that you are a beginner. If you are young (under 18) I would say that your voice part is completely up in the air. You should take private lessons with someone who has a masters or doctorate in voice performance or pedagogy. I am 20 and a voice performance major in college and I am a lyric baritone/dramatic tenor and my voice teachers are still not sure. So you may just have not been trained enough to find your real voice. If you talk low that can be damaging to your voice, so talk in a comfortable register. Singing in the wrong voice part is dangerous to your vocal chords, especially for females. Take care of your voice, and continue singing and at one point your voice will be definate. Mezzos have wonderful parts in operas, and whatever voice part you have you will be more successful if you sing in your natural register.

my period shouldnt be here for another wk-wk and a half, and i am having HEAVY bleeding with VERY bad cramps in my stomach and my lower back, but during myperiod my lower back doesnt hurt. drs said i wasnt pregnant, but it was only 2 days after the last time i had sex, wasnt it too soon to tell? Also, this pain is to the point where i cant walk and i want to throw up, could this be a miscarriage or just an early period with severe cramps? *i went to the dr last night and they said that it was nothing. if it is a miscarriage, and they did a pregnancy test would it say i was pregnant???* sorry so many questions, but im curious and scared......please let me know......
|
it would show up because your hcg level would be readable by now. i would say your having a really bad period sorry that sucks, but its better than the alternative.
|
Why are you trying to make yourself throw up? It is an unhealthy thing to do for it can cause damage to your esophagus and throat with the acid from your stomach coming back up. People who are afraid of gaining weight use it to try to stop weight gain; it is usually a sign of anorexia and bulimia. If this is the case I think you need to check in with your doctor or depending on your age, with your parents before it causes serious health problems. \nThe best way to control your weight is to watch what you eat and exercise instead of eating and vomiting.
