i had sex 9 days ago. since then, ive had my period. im still afraid i could be pregnant, would birth control have an effect if i started taking it? would it change anything if i was pregnant? i dont think i am, but i know there is still a small possibility. (link)
|
If you have had a period since you had sex, then you
aren't pregnant.
Getting on birth control would be a very good idea though. No more pregnancy scares is a good thing! :)
Edit: The chance of you being pregnant even though
you have had your period is so small that it would be ridiculous to even worry about it.
You could have some "break through bleeding" during the first trimester, if you were pregnant.
You would recognize though that it was not a period. It is not the same thing.
In order to be put on the birth control pill
they will do a pregnancy test before they prescribe it.
Actually, having many years of working in the medical field behind me, has taught me not to panic people unnecessarily. Something some of the younger users should probably learn. No offense. :)

ok so i've been dating this guy for over 6 months and were great together. the only thing is he has a friend whose a girl. and there sorta close and it bothers me.they like talk alot on the phone (like 4 hours once) and shes around him some in school. i know he would never do that to me and i trust him completly , im just more worried about her, b/c i know she likes him. and i told him she liked him before we started going out and he denyed it. and we used to joke about it, but its not really funny anymore and kinda hurtful. and i told him about it and i asked him to stop tlkn to her on the phone, he said he would but he still did.i dont wanna be a controlling gf, but i can't help it. and of course she hates me and i can't stand her. i trust my guy completly and i love being with him. i just dont want this to turn into a big thing. what should i do?

You don't trust him. You think you do, but if you did she wouldn't worry you. He made the decision to
date you and not her, you are going to have to get
it through your head that YOU are the one.
She is a good friend of his. He talks to her a lot.
Your jealousy is going to come up as a topic between them, and the reason why. If they didn't have feelings for each other before, you could be putting it in their heads the more you complain about it.
Its going to be difficult to do but you are going to
have to trust he is telling you the truth. You can't tell him who not to talk to or hang out with. If you
don't stop, you will destroy your relationship.

I have a huge crush on a woman that i work with we are both married but mine is on the rocks and i am not sure i want to try fixing it anymore.she is very friendly,flirty with me every time i see her i've felt this way for a couple of years but have not acted on it in any way.i have tried keeping distance from her but my feelings still haven't changed.should i tell her my feelings?My problems with my wife are mostly money related she won't quit spending beyond our means,I have tried getting help but she won't cooperate.last year I had to borrow a lot of money from her dad to pay off creditors i didn't even know i owed because she got credit cards in my name without my consent and wouldn't pay them back and they weregoing to garnish my wages which is how i found out about it.[very embarassing]now she has taken checkbook and messed it up by not keeping track of written checks has debit card to my account i didn't know about.until i hadto talk to bank to see what problem was with mortgage payment then after talking to her dad i found out she hasn't made any payments to him as agreed to either.i am just at a loss as to what to do about it all.any responses would be greatly apprieciated (link)
|
First off the crush. Don't act on it or say anything. She is probably just a flirty person.
Either way it will cause problems at work. You
don't need any more problems right now, sounds
like you are stressed to the limit as it is.
Your relationship with your wife needs major
repair. There may be trust issues here you
won't easily get over. She needs to seek
counseling for her spending habits.
Counseling or not you need to take away
any credit, debit cards and the checkbook.
You could even take her name off the accounts
if you really want to get drastic about it.
(It would keep her from withdrawing any money too.)Inform the bank she is NOT to get anymore
with your name attached to them in any way.
It will be a big pain in the butt because you
will have to pay the bills yourself, but you
can't be put into debt anymore. You will have
to do the grocery shopping together, or give
her just enough cash to pay for them.
If she has a job, then she needs to be paying
her dad back what you had to borrow, as well
as getting money orders to help pay the bills.
make her give you receipts.
Theres a good start. Weather you decide your marriage is worth the trouble or not
you don't need to add stress to your life right
now. The crush may be a result of your marriage
problems or it may not. But starting up with
a married person and a fellow employee is really
asking for trouble.
Good luck. :)

im 14/m.
I met this girl and we got to 3rd base on the first day i met her. was that bad if I want to have a meaningful relationship with her that's not all about sex? (link)
|
If you want a meaningful relationship
with someone and not have it be all
about sex, then don't bring sex into
it until you know each other real well.
The very first question you should
ask yourself before having sex with
anyone is...Would I marry her if she
got pregnant? Same for girls by the
way.
Now, I know that may sound stupid.
But in reality when you have sex,
that is the risk you are taking
every time.
If you are asking if she is the girl
for you because she put out so much
on the first date, well, so did you. :)
For some reason girls feel they have to
do it to be accepted a lot of the time.
I don't think you can hold it against
her in this day and age.

my family is currently living with my grandma. Not only does she treats us unfair, she also makes my mom pays 4 all the expenses in the house, plus the money for living in her house. So while we have to struggle to live our lives, she has extra money in her pocket and spends it elsewhere. Well, the problem is, im going 2 go 2 college soon, and i need to think bout the financial problem. i want to tell my mom to stop giving her the extra money and just pay for the current expenses only. That way, she will be able to help me somewhat in the future.
But we dont know how to confront my grandma about it. My mom doesn't want to upset her mother, either. (link)
|
If your family are having to live with your grandma, then you
will probably have to get through college
as best you can on your own
with minimal help from your mom.
Look into Pell Grants or some other way to
help pay your way through college. If you
are determined you will find there are many
ways to get a college education. Start doing
some research now & talk to your schools
guidance counselor about it too.
I agree with one who answered earlier.
You can't expect to live with grandma for
nothing. She has gone from being able to do
her own thing to suddenly having company 24/7.
Her budget probably doesn't allow for the extra people
now staying with her. Try to see it from her
point of view a little and be understanding. :)

So today I sorta blew it, and ate too much ( WAY TOO MUCH SNACKING) and then around 5:30 my friend called to tell me her family was going out to eat and asked if I wanted to go- I'm staying w/ her this weekend cause my parents are out of town. So I said yes- but I am regretting saying that cause I have already eaten so much today. How can I get out of going? Or should I just not bother and eat again? Or should I go but tell them I already ate, (before 5:30?)??? I feel fat right now and I don't know what to do now! (link)
|
I know you have already worked this out by now, but for the future...
Go out and don't worry about it. If you are dieting
or trying to watch your weight, and stick with it most of the time, one night out to dinner and a few snacks isn't going to cause much harm. Just go right back to it the next day. :)
|
There was a question that I wanted to ask, but a lot of my friends use advicenators and would definitely know its me even if I changed it up a bit. It would be very obvious. I was going to ask specific columnists, but they have them under their 'Favorite' list so probably check their columns also. Is there a way of privately asking a question so it doesn't show up on their column?? It's a relationship question.
Thanks! (link)
|
Sure, if they have their email address listed
on their column just send them an email.
Be sure you put Advicenators in the subject line
so they don't send it to spam. :)

My period has always been kind of, since I gotten it. It has never been on time sometimes I dont even get it every month sometimes I skip a month and it's just so stressful. Well last time I had it was june 24th and now it's Aug 15th still no period. I know I am not pregnant I tested myself 5 times...it's like this everytime. I just waste money buying pregnancy tests for no freaking reason. And I also know that it's not healthy when you don't have your period...every month. I am 23 now it should be regular by now. And if I go to the gyno I know they'll put me on birth control which I dont want. What else could be the problem. Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you !
Worried..... (link)

Believe it or not you are perfectly normal.
Most women do not have regular periods. If
you consider normal to be every 26-28 days.
Sometimes it is a little longer than that,
sometimes less than that. Most of the time
it is a combo of both. :)
The only way to avoid wondering if you are
pregnant is to use adequate birth control.
Amenorrhea (having no period), can be caused
by being overweight. You can also skip periods
if you are athletic. Intense exercise, such
as running can make your period stop all
together.
Just use a birth control method you trust
and don't worry about it. :)

Whenever we need advice fast, we go here right? Well, it sometimes takes a while to process though Advicenators with all the moderators off and out and about, forgetting about all of the poor people who need quick advice! Well, I'm wondering, what is the best time to ask a question? Weather its 1 in the morning, at 8 at night, What is the best time?
Thank alot [: (link)
|
You can ask anytime. The questions are put out 10 at a time. No more will be approved until those 10 get some answers. That way, everyone gets their question answered by at least 1 person.
Takes a little longer to get your question on the site but at least the question isn't ignored.
With school starting back up for some, I would guess
late afternoon, early evening is when most will be
on answering questions. But, like Razhie said, there
really isn't any need to wait. If its a real emergency don't wait for an answer here. :)

what to do if the botton of the iron is black dirty (link)
|
Sprinkle salt on an old towel, (I have heard of
people using a paper sack or waxed paper too)
turn the iron on high and iron the salted surface.
It should come right off. If its really built up
you may have to do this more than once.
You can also try using vinegar. Never use an abrasive cleaner on your iron. It will scratch
the surface and cause more problems in the future.
Use a net mesh type of sponge or a wash cloth only.

Ok so here is the thing, there is this guy, David (I changed his name), and I asked him out then a couple months later, he broke up with me. Then he asked me out and I said yes. Now three months later, we talk on the phone a lot. Then one day his little sister called me and said that he didn't like me, then he got on the phone, and said that wasn't true. Then a couple days later, I went over David's friends housw Mike, with my BFF Steph. Nothing happened, but Mike kept saying how David didn't like me and thought I was fat, now knowing Mike I ususaly wouldn't believe him, but then I was thing about what his sister said.
Then his friends called me and said he wanted to break up with me, but in the background I heared him yell no I don't!
Why would everyone say that if it wasn't true?
Pixistick (link)

Sounds to me as if he has some pretty rotten friends. I can see why you would wonder though.
You need to talk to him...away from all his
friends and ask him what is going on. Are his
friends telling the truth and he is just being
nice by saying it isn't true? Or are all his
friends just immature little creeps? I think
there is a good chance the little creeps are
jealous because he has a girlfriend.
Whatever he says, hes the one to believe. :)

You didn't miss anything. He hasn't made any promotions yet. He now has Yahoo and MSN messenger as well as skype. Give him a holler. I will send you his address via email. :)

Has anyone ever tooken or know anything about Provera.If so please let me know.I'm trying to get pregnant but I don't have a period.So they gave me Provera to start my period but isn't that a bc pill.Please help (link)
|
Yes it is used for birth control.
It is also used to regulate a womans period.
If you don't have a period you cannot get pregnant.
My guess is your doctor will keep you on it
until you get your period on a regular basis.
Once that happens you can go off the provera
and with luck be able to conceive. :)

I'm a fifteen year old girl.
I have met this guy on an online forum. Let's call him Tommy. Tommy is a sweet guy and he's 4 years older than me. I know it might be illegal. But that's not the whole point of my story. [Keep in mind that I have chatted with him online for a course of 1 year. Almost everyday.] Here are some things that seem somewhat odd about Tommy ;
1. he never offers to send me pictures. And the only pictures I have of him are about 3 or 4 of very blurry and crappy quality (seemingly taken on a camera phone with very low quality)
2. I know that it won't work out. It's not my intention to make this guy my boyfriend. Yet he gets more intimate with me everyday. Asking me things that I wouldn't even tell my own mother.
3. Almost everytime we chat, he requests pictures from me. I send Tommy lot of pictures. He can make an album with the amount of pictures he has of me.
4. It annoys me that most of our conversations are based solely on music. Sometimes Tommy won't talk about anything else, and when I offer to, he shuns me.
5. He can be very sweet, yet sometimes very bitter and mean.
6. He has an online girlfriend. And when she isn't online, I feel like a last resort to him. As if he's bored and has no one else to talk to.
I feel the need to stop talking now because this is getting too long. He constantly sweet talks me, tells me that he knows me and loves me. I know this isn't true. I hate to say it, but this guy has got me hooked.
I'm just getting really suspicious. I just don't want him to be a pedophile or anything.
What can I do?
I aplogize for the length of this. (link)
|
Follow your instincts. You know you need to stop
this now. His behavior is very suspicious.
I would suggest you block him and put an end to it.
There are so many other people out there to talk to.
You won't miss him for long. :)

okay. so i have a physical on tuesday, tomorrow. and i smoked pot on friday and saturday day nights. and i have know effing clue waht to do. cause they will like make me pee in a cup right? oh btw im 14 and a girl. im not a pothead. it was only my second and third time.. but neways please help i have no clue what to do. my friend is telling me to drink bleach cause it\'ll clear my system but im scared! pleaseeeeeeeeee please please help :[

|
You don't say what your physical is for. The only
physical I would worry about is one for employment.
If its a school thing they aren't going to test you.
If its a personal health thing, they won't test you.
It is expensive and not done unless it is asked for.
If you are paying for the physical yourself (or parents are) you don't need to worry. Unless your
parents suspect something and ask, it won't be done.
Never drink bleach! And you can drink the other things but contrary to popular belief, it won't work. And even if it did, as Alin says, they aren't stupid. :)

Is it true that girls shouldn't use tampons if they are virgins? I mean I know that they can, but I was just told that if you're a virgin you shouldn't use a tampon.
If so, why?
I have plenty of friends who are virgins and use tampons. They say it's a lot more comfortable and such. They also claim to have never had a problem with them.
I know this is a dumb question, but at least I'm not saying that I've had sex with 3 guys and that I haven't had my period and didn't use protection and want to know if I'm pregnant and/or have an STD.
Anyway, despite the oddness of the question, I was just kind of curious about it.

OK first off the hymen isn't deep inside the vagina. It is actually considered to be external.
Many things can cause it to break before you actually have sex. You can try to use a tampon
if you are a virgin. You may have no problem at all. If your hymen is already torn you can use
one just fine.
The problem comes if you still have your hymen.
It may be old fashioned but some girls want to
save it for their husband to break when they
are married. I know novel idea these days, but
hurray for those who do. Using a tampon, which
could break the hymen, isn't something they want
to do.
Another problem arises should a virgin keep
tying to insert a tampon when it obviously
doesn't want to go in. Most hymens break easily
but not all do. Some may tear just enough for
it to go in. Then when you try to remove it,
oops! Its stuck. You can't leave it there you
have to go to the doctor and have it removed.
So, if it goes in without pain, no problem to
use them.
If it causes pain to insert it, consider waiting.

okay, well my neighbor saved 13 puppies from a kill shelter in georgia all from different litters and we live in massachusetts. the puppy we were going to get is a mix. we're not sure but he looks like a pitbull and a mix of something else. we've had him over so i could play with him quite a few times and he was great. we had my moms boyfriend's 7 year old boy, and 9 or 10 year old boy over too and they played great with him. we dont own the dog yet but the insurence company called and told us that no one is permitted to have a pitbull in the state of massachusetts. and if we were to get him and he bit someone and they sued us, our house and everything would get taken away. but thats like stereotyping the dog. i know people th at have pitbulls and they've never bit someone. what am i supposed to do? this is the last puppy left and i realllyyyy want him. i don't know what to do. i dont want a different puppy. (link)

Pitbull ownership in some towns is against the law.
Mostly because people can't seem to understand that dogs are what they are raised to be. They blame the breed instead of the people who made them mean.
Laws vary from town to town within the states.
That being said the dog you are wanting is a MIXED
breed. I don't think you label him a pitbull. Just
say he is of undetermined breed. Problem should be solved. :)

okay in the town where i live, all the cheerleaders have these little wooden signs in their yards that say [school name] cheerleader. well i just made cheerleading and my parents wont let me put my sign out because they think its "tacky." and actually, i dont really like it either, cuz i feel like its kind of bragging. but the other girls have been asking me why i dont have my sign out, and i don't know what to say. i dont want to insult them by saying my parents think its tacky. so what should i say? (link)
|
I don't like this kind of thing and let me tell you why. You may be able to use it.
Where I live people were told for safety reasons
Not to put those "Its a Boy" or "Its a Girl" signs
in their yards anymore. Its not against the law,
it is just advice from local Police Dept.
We had a case of baby snatching around here
and of course if someone wants to do that...you
are basically advertising.
I saw a news program the other night about a
rapist targeting cheerleaders. Now this is not
to cause you panic, this was something that
happened years ago. But, same deal.
Why advertise where you live?
Just tell them it is a safety issue with you.
You wouldn't go on the internet and advertise
where you live. You don't want to do it for
school either. I think it is a bad idea. I'm
sure the school hasn't thought about it. Its
been done for years. These days though, Bad
idea. :)

i was curious so i went on google to see how jello was made. i found something that said it was made of pig bone or something? i'm like throwing up right now, i hope this isn't true, is it? (link)
|
Yes its true. Not just Jello brand, all gelatin
is made the same way.
Here is a link to the snopes website. It says it
isn't made with horse or cow hooves which has
been a rumor. I send it because it explains how
gelatin is made, should you or anyone else really
want to know.
Some things are better being left a mystery!
