My gauges are stuck in my ears. Like...the back won't unscrew...its scaring me that ill never be able to get them off. I've tried pliers but it didnt work. I'm so scared. Can someone please help me? (link)
| |
If you yourself are unable to get the off, then the best thing to do would be to go to your local tattoo/piercing shop and ask for assistance. The shops have the tools for situations like this. Also, I have come across people while working in my shop that have tried and tried only to find out they were turning the ball the wrong way. Remember, Lefty Loosy, Righty Tighty. If you have tried turning both ways, then go to a shop and ask for help. Also, I have never heard of a shop that charged for the removal of a piercing, so you shouldn't have to worry about paying.

I had sex with My boyfriend and it was My first time. And we didn't use protection but it was quick it was like for 2 mintues I made him stop. Beacause it hurt really bad . And I usually have my period around the 13Th or 15th and I'm really scared. Could I be pregnant? like. Ive been stressed every since we did it. and we had sex around the 10th. Or 11th im. So paranoid and I have no type if appetite what do I do pleasee help (link)
|
It does not take much to get pregnant. It doesn't matter if it was only 1 minute or 5 hours. If you're life style changed in any way (other than being intimate), chances are that may effect your period, as well as stress can too. As for having no type of appetite, it can take weeks before you show any symptoms, and some women have none at all. I remember one pregnancy I had, I never knew I was until my baby kicked. Second one, I was getting sick ALL the time, horribly tender.. the worst pregnancy symptoms ever.
As for being able to tell if you're pregnant or not, you'll have to wait. I would suggest waiting for another 2 weeks. If your period does not come by then, take a home pregnancy test, or for a more accurate test, go to your doctor for a blood test. If anything though, don't stress out over it until you are sure. Should it turn out you are NOT pregnant, I suggest either next time using condoms with spermicide gels, or getting yourself put on birth control. If you go to your local women's health center or planned parenthood, they will be able to help you with condoms and or birth controls.

I'm 13 years old and really thinking about getting my belly button pierced, should I?? I'm only holding back because they might think I'm a s**t or too young but my mum approves but I don't know bout school?? Plz help;) (link)
|
At 13 years of age, I don't believe any shops will do it. I believe the minimum age with parental consent is 15 or 16. I'm a body piercer and a tattoo artist, but states do vary in ages. Best thing to do is call local shops and ask them about the age limitation and so forth. As for schools, it all depends on the type of school you go to. If things haven't changed THAT much, then a belly piercing shouldn't be a problem, so long as it does not distract you from your school work. If I'm remembering correctly, a lot of schools don't approve of certain piercings due to them being a distraction.
Also, should you get the piercing done, do NOT pick at it, be sure to properly wash it at least twice a day. Meaning thoroughly wash it and rinse it, ensuring it is fully rinsed other wise you will get an infection, resulting in removal of the piercing, or possibly even worse.
Edit : Also, with getting a piercing, you HAVE to have your parent/guardian present with you if you are under the age of 18.

18/f
We are both 18 and going to college in the fall.
(Just putting it out there.)
So the other day my boyfriend and I were fooling around in his bed. No one was home so we thought it was safe. We got down to just our underwear, although we weren't planning on having sex (we haven't had sex yet anyway). So we were basically making out in our underwear when his mom walks in. My back was to her so I didn't see her but she said, "Oh my god!" and shut the door really fast. We jumped up and got our clothes on real quick. He tried to talk to her but she told him that they'd talk about it later. They haven't really had a chance to talk about it since but I feel awful because I feel like she doesn't trust him. She wouldn't leave him home alone for the weekend and made him give a home phone number when he slept over at a friend's house recently. I am so terribly embarrassed and upset about this because I honestly love him but I'm afraid that his mom hates me now. He and I have talked about having our first time together and we are going to be smart and be safe about it, but neither of us are ready for that quite yet. It was an honest mix up and if we had known his mom was in the house it never would have happened. He's 18 and going to college soon so I feel like his mom should be aware that this kind of stuff happens sometimes. I don't know if she's just shocked or really overwhelmed but I don't want this to affect her opinion of me because I want to be with m boyfriend for a long time. I don't think that we're going to break up anytime soon but I feel like his mom is going to literally hate me now and I am so upset I have no idea what to do. Is there anything that I can do to help this situation? Please help me. (link)

I can understand how the mother feels. Seeing her "baby" in the "act" can come as quite a shock. Chances are she is also very embarrassed. I would suggest giving her time before you try to say anything. Perhaps she's like most people and just wishes to forget. I doubt anyone would want to keep an image like that in their head, especially about their child(ren). I say, just let your boyfriend take care of talking to her, and treat her the same way you usually would. You could try apologizing, but I'm honestly not sure how she would react to it. I don't know what type of person she is, nor how she treats others. I'm sure she already knows that things like this happen, but I'm also sure it was something she didn't want to "know" about.. If you understand what I mean. I doubt she hates you, she may just feel a little uneasy or even uncomfortable about the whole situation, like you and your boyfriend. If anything, speak with your boyfriend, tell him how you feel, and also ensure he speaks with her. Tell him if she says "Later" to say "no, now. We need to get this taken care of and finished" This way it can be dealt with more quickly and hopefully out of minds.

Does taking birth control pills effect you in the future when you want to have kids or anything?
I mean obviously if you're going to have sex you should be on birth control but I was just wondering what it does to your body. (link)
|
I've never heard of birth controls having long term effects. Though I have heard that when you are ready to get pregnant it can take quite some time, as your body is trying to readjust itself from the hormonal change. Some people are capable of getting pregnant right on the spot of quitting, while others I have read had to wait a year or two. But on average it typically takes 3-6 months for your system to re-regulate itself.
As for what it does to your body, birth control releases hormones to prevent you from ovulating (releasing egg[s]). All birth controls have side effects. Some people don't get any, some do, and should you and it's intolerable, call your local physician. If you do have any more questions about birth control, contact your physician or local pharmacist and ask them the questions, as they can give you more detailed as well as more thorough answers.

17/f
I've had sex but now I'm planning on getting on birth control because I'd at least be responsible about it.
I don't want my parents to know.
I was thinking to call my doctors office and schedule an appointment but I have no job and I don't have a lot of money.
I live in California and I heard that planned parenthood might give you it for free. Does my normal doctor do that for you or is it only planned parenthood?
Thank you! (link)
| |
I don't know if it's free, at least the one near me isn't, the one out here gives you a prescription and you get it filled. But who knows, maybe the one nearest to you is free. Each one varies really. I would suggest calling and speaking with them. If you're worried about money, the best thing to do is if it does cost money (such as a prescription) take it to your local walmarts pharmacy. They tend to charge less for generics and the lot. If it is too difficult for you to get prescription forms of birth control, you could always use alternatives such as condoms as well as spermicides. You can get them at your local pharmacies, and probably other shops around your area as well. But the best thing to do, is when you have time and are able to, call your local women's health center, or planned parenthood, and ask questions about birth control, pricing, etc.

Ok so 13/f and I recenttly started masterbating a bit for my own pleasure and because I've been feeling stressed lately. I read online that masterbating was like fingering yourself (2 fingers) I started out with one finger and Ive used one finger for a while now. Today, I wanted to try 2 fingers and in the shower I masterbated and it hurt to get both fingers in my vsgina and I only got the tips before it hurt too much. I didnt want to force my body but I did and I shoved both fingers up my vagina as hard as I could so I could loosen it abit. I pulled my fingers out and I noticed blood on my fingers. I am not currently on my period because that doesnt start for about 2 more weeks and I dont know why I had blood on my fingers and Im keeping a pad on just incase it leaks. Help? Idont knoww why im bleeding! (link)
| |
Were you still a virgin? Have you ever had intercourse before? If not, chances are you MIGHT have broken your hymen. If you aren't sure what a hymen is, it is what kids call "The Cherry". and so forth. Perhaps, when you forcefully inserted your fingers in, it was too much for your hymen to handle and it ended up ripping.

what day did i concieve if i had my period june 6 2012 (link)
| |
It's difficult to say. I would suggest checking an online calculator *they have calculators that try and give you an IDEA, not exact results mind you, but an idea of when you were ovulating* If you can get a good idea of when you last ovulated and when you had intercourse, that would be able to give you at least a small general idea of the day of conception. Do remember, sperm can live inside of the womans uterus for up to seven days, especially since a females most fertile time only lasts for about.. maybe 3 days at most. Hopefully this was enough information to give you at least a small general idea of when you may have conceived.

i'm about to be 20 years old, & i'm very bored at the college i go to now. i'd really like to transfer to where my best friend goes. its an excellent school, its in a really fun area, & i love going down there! i just love the campus and everything. not just the night life.
it is reasonably priced, & i could afford an apartment with my friend down there easily. (coming from my own money-not my parents)
however, going there would make my mom very very sad. it is 2 hours away. i spend a lot of time with my mom, & i know she would be very upset. she gets really mad when i bring up the topic.
but, i really missed out on doing things in high school (never wen to prom, other events) & i'm not really doing any fun college stuff either.
is it wrong for me to go? what should i do? it won't be till next year, my third year of college. but i have to figure it out in the next couple of months, because apartments get snapped up quickly. i feel guilty for wanting to go, but i really want to. (link)
| |
Every good mother knows when it's time for her babies to leave. It's always sad, for both ends, but you must go on with your life as well as do what you want to do now. Besides, 2 hours? Come on! I live 5 hours FLYING distance from my family. Even longer if I drive. You will only be 2 hours away, go visit on weekends, holidays and the sort. She'll come to understand in time, but in the beginning, she will be sad. It's never easy to let your babies go ^_^ But I say, put the sorrow aside, and think about what you want. You're an adult now. If you wish to go to this new college, get going before it's too late.

hello Rena! thanks for answering me, but i mean he cummed like on the top of pussy!! and am still a virgin.so will i get pregnant? (link)
|
If it wasn't near your vagina or in it (where the man would stick his penis), you shouldn't worry. The chances of you getting pregnant, if his semen did not go near your vaginal opening, are.. I'd give you a 0.001% chance. and that's pushing it. I wouldn't worry too much about it. The only way you can get pregnant is if he came in or on your vaginal opening, allowing the sperm to come into contact with your bodily fluids. Then there would be a higher chance. I would suggest though, to prevent any future scares, get put on birth control. There are MANY different types such as implants, pills, patches, and even rings. (the ring is one you put into your vagina, near your cervix). Also, if you do not wish those types, there are also over the counter birth controls such as spermicide gels, and foams and condoms.
Also, even if you are a virgin, you can still get pregnant.

hello! am from lebanon,am still virgin , my boyfriend cummed on side not inside,will i get pregnant? am so scared about that!!!
answer me please!!! (link)
| |
It all really depends on what you mean he "cummed on side". You can still get pregnant if he came near your vaginal opening, and you were "wet". The females fluids will allow the semen to easily reach the uterus, and if an egg has been released, it can be fertilized. And do remember that semen can live up to 5-7 days inside of the uterus. If he ejaculated no where near your vaginal opening, then it's pretty safe to say you'll be fine. If you are really worried, and do not wish to have a child yet, there are alternatives such as adoption and pregnancy termination. I'm not going to tell you which to choose as it is your body and your choice.

So I've been talking to this guy for about a year off & on. I'm 13 & a female. Yes I'm young, but my maturity level is VERY HIGH. The guy I've been talking to is everything I look for in a guy, he isn't like the others. But he is 15. Now remember you donot know me, but anyone that does knows I'm very mature for my age. & this guy I like he isn't asking anything from me. He's not a virgin, but he's only had sex ONE time. With someone he was with for awhile. Anyways, what is your opinion opon such a an age difference? (link)
| |
Age is really just a number. Despite whether you are mature or not though, you still do have a lot of growing to do. As for dating, it really wouldn't be up to anyone else to make that decision up for you, (unless it's your parents, whom may not want you to date just yet). Best advice, I would suggest speaking with your parents (assuming you are really as mature as you are insinuating) and tell them that you are interested in dating. As for whether this boy is or is not a virgin, whether he has had only one partner or more, it makes no difference. Especially with teenage boys, because a good majority of them, especially when they have and are going through puberty, are usually also interested in sex, it's the higher rise in the male hormone, testosterone. So, as extra advice, I would suggest, if he asks for you two to get intimate, you would wait until YOU are ready, and do not cave in to his wishes/demands. It wouldn't hurt to wait until you were a little older, but as I have stated before, if you really are as mature as you say you are, speak with your parents and also get their feelings in on this whole dating thing.

How do I measure 7/8 cup water? Thanks... (link)
| |
To obtain 7/8th of a cup, it may be easier to use a 1/4 measuring cup. It would be three full 1/4 cups, and one 1/2 full of the measuring cup, equaling 7/8th.

Hey everyone, I have really been trying to understand everything that comes along with pregnancy to answer my question, but I still don't seem to get it. Currently I am actually 5 days over my due date, due date was June 30th. Last menstrual period was approximately Sept. 5th. I had sex on Sept. 17 and then again on Oct. 7th (and took Plan B within 3 days after). I found out I was 8 weeks pregnant on November 19th based on an ultrasound. Which time did I most likely get pregnant? Bc I know conception/implantation itself can take up to 14 days I have been thinking that the Sept 17th time was most likely it, also since I would've ovulated around then, but I would still like your input as well since I'm not totally sure. Thank you so much for your help and responses!! (link)
|
Chances are it may have been Sept. 17th, or even a bit of time after that. As described below. I had gotten pregnant last year in august, but most doctors if not all, base the length of pregnancy around the time of conception. Which is, in my own opinion, typically always incorrect. But I digress, I know I had conceived in august, because around the time my mate and I got intimate, I was ovulating, while in July, my mate and I had not seen each other for a while. The doctor tried saying that I was so far along, when I knew better. Go by your instinct. If you were ovulating near the 17th, chances are that's around the time you conceived.
Sperm can live in a woman's body for up to six days — possibly seven. That's why most pregnancies result from fertilization by sperm that have been waiting in a woman's reproductive tract days before the release of her egg — ovulation — takes place.In certain environments such as the female reproductive tract beyond the cervix, sperm can live for as much as five to seven days. The woman's cervical mucus gives this long life to the sperm. In other biological environments such as the vagina, sperm may live only a few hours. In contrast, the egg has a life-span of only about one day from the time it bursts from the ovary. Thus, fertilization can occur anytime live sperm meet up with a live egg, which can happen even if the sperm are deposited up to seven days in advance of ovulation.

Okay , so i was reading this article about this lady being pregnant and she is still a virgin , Is that really possible because i thought the hymen had to broken and the male has cum in you in order for you to actually become pregnant. (link)
| |
The hymen does not have to break in order to become pregnant. If the males sperm comes in contact with the females fluids, there's a chance to become pregnant, albeit a small chance. But it can still happen.

what do you mean exfoliate? for shaving down there?
thanks!:) (link)
| |
Meaning to clean it thoroughly. Like you would your face. Exfoliate to remove dead skin as well to help open pores to clean them out. This will help prevent if not all at least some to most of the ingrowns you encounter due to shaving. Before and after shaving, thoroughly clean the area. Even after it's been shaved, be sure to thoroughly clean the area shaved to help reduce/prevent ingrowns.

My husband and I are having trouble getting pregnant and I am pretty sure the problem isn't with me, but I don't know a thing about male infertility problems at all and I am afraid to bring it up because I don't want to hurt his feelings!
What do I do? We want babies but we just can't seem to get pregnant! (link)
| |
You never know. It may be him, or it may actually be you. The best thing to do is continue trying. It is quite difficult to get pregnant, especially when you are trying. Be sure to properly keep track of your ovulation dates (there are calendars online, as well as kits at your local pharmacies that tell you when to expect ovulation or tell you when you are ovulating) should it not work, and you don't wish to say anything to your hubby about the possibility of his infertility, just suggest that you both go to a doctor and both get looked at, to ensure that there is nothing wrong with you both. This way you are not saying it is him, but also making a suggestion that it may be you. This way you don't hurt his feelings as well as you both get checked out to see what may be the problem.
|
|
when you shave down there, how do you make it not itch?? (link)
| |
Shaving can be quite irritating. Especially the itching. To ensure that you don't get ingrown hairs (which are the main cause of the itching) be sure to keep it exfoliated to help reduce ingrowns. Also shaving every day to every other day may also help with that.

I want to get my belly button pierced. I live in California. Do you have to be 18 to get one? Or do I have to have a parent with me?
My mom would probably go with me if that's the case but also, any tips on how to take care of it?
Thanks! (link)
| |
As a body piercer and tattooist for the past 6 years, it all depends on the state you live in. I have lived in several different states, and each one has different laws about body modifications and age limits. Some can be 14 WITH parental consent while other states require you to be 18 years of age, whether you have parental consent or not. The best advice I can give you for this in terms of getting it done is call your local body art/modifications shops (best to call several, as some shops, even if you were to have parental consent may still deny to do it on a minor) and ask them. As for caring for it, it's quite simple, while in the shower, ensure to get it nice and wet, then after the crusties have moistened enough to properly wash it, put some dial or proven soap on it, and move your piercing in and out, working the soap into it. Then be sure to rinse thoroughly with the same technique. Be sure to have it fully rinsed as leaving soap inside may cause infection. Also, after you get a piercing, most piercers give their client a "how to care for your piercing" pamphlet, giving you a nicely detailed description on how to fully care for your piercing(s) as well as some supplements you can take to help the healing process.

I am currently on my vacation which will last for two months in the US. I want to get something for my boyfriend to show him that i missed him and i still love him. something not too big or expensive, Any ideas? (link)
| |
It all depends on what he likes really, as well as what your budget is. You can also always make your own gift for him. Such as, buy a very nice corked bottle, a bottle satchel and a nice box for it to fit in and put a message in the bottle telling him how much you miss him and so forth, and a photo of yourself may also make him really happy. You can also consider going to a store that specializes in engraving, and get him a ring, pendant, watch (wrist or pocket) and put a personalized message on it as well.
