(please read description!)<br /><br />I have had a similar experience. At first I was like you, fretting about his moods and actions (he was depressed too). It took four years for me to understand that I couldn't help him. Depression is hard to understand. While healthy people may seek support from their loved ones when they're sad,...

I guess if we have enough to talk about and I look forward to seeing them again. I also measure how clingy and insecure they are.

Or is this common?<br /><br />Sometimes it takes longer for some people to get their period. Wait a week. If you don't get your period then, just do a test.

Emergency contraception should not be used as a form of ongoing birth control because there are other forms of birth control that are a lot more effective. There is no data on the long-term use of plan B....

I'm on my 3rd sugar pill and I haven't had my period. Is this normal?<br /><br />Yes. Some people get their period right away, and it takes others 3+ days. Wait it out. If you miss your period completely, do a test just to be safe.

Always check with your doctor, nurse or pharmacist when starting a new medication. Even antibiotics can interfere with birth control! You never know!

No birth control is ever 100%, so bear in mind that whenever you have sex, there is a chance, however small, that you may get pregnant. The IUD also makes you prone to STDs and serious complications as a result. It's an...

The IUD is definitely cheaper though (one IUD lasts about 5 years) and it is more convenient (no missed pills, no trips to the drugstore). There is also a non hormonal IUD if you prefer. It does make you more prone to STDs though.

(I have good hygiene bt the way...)<br /><br />It could just be a yeast infection. I'd go to my doctor or clinic if I were you though.

If you go to a local sexual health clinic, you can get Plan B emergency contraceptive. It is effective for up to 72 hours. You might be able to get it at a pharmacy without a prescription. You can in Canada, at least. An IUD can also be used as...

Some women get their periods right after taking that pill.

Here in Canada we have www.spiderbytes.ca and Planned Parenthood - which is also available in the States: www.plannedparenthood.org Fri, 23 Jul 2010 07:43:28 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/9411015 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/9411006 What could be going on? (Please read)<br /><br />Like the others, I'd check with a health care provider for definite answers. However, it does sound like the bleeding was probably the "fake period" you get whenever you stop taking birth control pills. The hormones from the patch would not absorb fast enough to prevent this. If you are...

I've had recurring yeast infections for the past year, in fact one each month for the past 3 months.I tested negative for: diabetes, HIV, BV, trichomonosis and STD's. Does anyone have SUCCESSFUL remedies? Thank you.<br /><br />I find that going to the doctor and getting that single-dose pill for yeast infections usually does the trick. You might even want your partner to get treated just in case, so you're not passing it back and forth. I think Canesten now has a pill you can get without a prescription. For...

One that I'm going through right now, but my mom only knows of two. I'm really embarassed to tell her, so that's not an option. If I'm under 18, can I get pinworm meds @ a R.Aid?<br /><br />I find that going to the doctor and getting that single-dose pill for yeast infections usually does the trick.

Given appropriate responsibilities and supervision, I think mentally ill people can flourish.

African isn't a race, since many races live in Africa from Arabs in Egypt to caucaseans in South Africa. African isn't a nationality either, since there is no country by the name of Africa.

Tanning beds are worse than actual sun. They use artificial rays that deliver more carcinogens than the sun.

It is more realistic to keep it legal, and have resources which encourage women to either get out of prostitution or to at least stay healthy.

It's who they are, and they can't just change, just like straight people can't...

If it does, it would depend on which kind of IUD you have. The hormonal one (under the name Mirena) *may* affect (decrease) a woman's sex drive, because hormones (mainly birth control pills) have been reported to do that. I doubt it though, as the hormone absorption in the case of an... Tue, 13 Jul 2010 21:37:40 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/9359406 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/9359377 Copper IUD.

I'm around your age, no kids, etc. I went to my local clinic and they introduced me to the copper IUD. It seemed perfect for my wants/needs! I got mine inserted about a week ago and I feel 100% fine.

I've tried hydrogen peroxide, Debrox, Swim-EAR with no luck.<br /><br />Go to your doctor and rule out the possibility of an infection. Sometimes ear infections aren't sore, but they give the feeling of the ear being "blocked". Your GP will take a look and fix the infection or remove the wax using special, sterilized tools.

It could mean two things. It could mean you made a very good impression and they might actually be attracted to you or admire you. It could also be a sarcastic way of saying you made a fool of yourself. Just think of the events leading up to the statement and the...

If so, when?<br /><br />Rarely, but if I do it's because I removed that person from my life (i.e. an ex who I am trying to forget) or if it's someone I am trying to avoid.

First of all, not everyone at a public school is Christian, so they may have different values. Second of all, it is more realistic to teach teens safe sex, than to tell them to abstain. Teens will have sex regardless, so it is better to teach...

Should he/she fight using a new strategy or bail out and do better?<br /><br />If you're in love with someone who does not contribute to the relationship, I would begin to slowly remove myself from that relationship. Before you do this, sit down and have a frank conversation about how s/he really feels, and then move from there.

How can I convince her not to go?Or let her make the final decision<br /><br />I'm writing this from your daughter's perspective. Unless she usually engages in dangerous activities, chances are she's not going to do something stupid. If she's a normally responsible girl, let her go.

He always made pregnancy comments and recently confessed to never pulling out during sex. I'm ot sure how to feel about this. He's obviously selfish. What to do?<br /><br />This is your fault as much as it is his. Every time you have sex, you are putting yourself at risk for pregnancy, ESPECIALLY using the pull out method. You should have made it very clear that you do not want to have children and you should have taken matters into your own hands to prevent it.
