I have been on birth control for about 2 years now. When I'm on my period there is a week when I am not taking the birth control pills, but i'm only on my period for about half of that week. The other days when I"m not on my period, but not taking the pills...am I more likely to get pregnant if I have sex? I'm worried because I'm not taking the pill those days. (link)
| |
You have nothing to worry about. You are just as protected on those days as you are the rest of the month. :)

could i get pregnant if i suck a dick? (link)
|
No. The adviser below me is correct about the risks
of STD's, however swallowing isn't the problem.
From http://www.sexualhealthcare.net/the-dangers-of-oral-sex.html
Practicing unprotected oral sex on a man or woman can give sexually transmitted infections like gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, HIV, etc. Also, keep in mind that when someone has the common cold sore (a.k.a oral herpes – HSV-1) and goes down on you, you could contract genital herpes or HSV-2.

I got high... I know, stupid. My eyes were so red I thought I was going to go blind or something. So, why does marijuana make your eyes red? Does anyone know? (link)
|
From wiki answers...
Marijuana decreases pressure in the eyes and increases blood flow. When this happens, the arteries in the eye-ball expand (due to decreased pressure). These arteries, especially when expanded, are visible in the white portion of the eye and make the eye appear "bloodshot" or red.
This very result (decrease of pressure in the eye) is the primary reason marijuana is used to treat glaucoma. Glaucoma is the condition where there is excessive pressure in the eye. In some patients, the pressure can become so severe that it causes damage to the retinal nerve, ultimately damaging the patient's vision. Marijuana decreases this pressure.
Because it causes blood vessels to slightly contract (enlarge). So, the blood vessels in your eyes contract, causing them to appear more red.

There's this store that my mom always goes to. And I would describe my mom as a kids but not really; she asks so many questions and stuff that some people may get really annoyed, but it's part of the job right?
So at this store there's a make up section and she wanted to return stuff and the usual lady that works there didn't allow her to and my mom said that she didn't use any of it and the lady called my mother a LIAR and she seems pretty bothered by it and now I'm bothered by it. So in the end SHE apologized saying that she'll keep it and left! Unbelievable that she got..abused? and apologized!
Can there be something done about the lady or is it freedom...of speech? I just think that that's rude and while lots of jobs have rude workers, this is a store that many older adults go to and workers should be mature and patient too. And if the lady was like this to my mother, imagine how much worse she could be with someone else! (link)
|
If the lady was overly rude then of course complain to the manager. There is no excuse for name calling.
Keep in mind though that some things are NOT returnable to stores. Makeup & underwear are a couple that are common knowledge to most adults.
Your mother may not have used the makeup, but there is no way to prove she didn't. If the package is opened, there is no way to put it back out for sale. Reasons for this below...
From :http://health.howstuffworks.com/skin-care/beauty/skin-and-makeup/bad-to-share-makeup.htm/printable
Diseases Spread Through Makeup
Cold Sores
Unlike bacterial infections such as pink eye, you cannot get rid of cold sores with medication, since they are caused by the herpes simplex virus. Usually appearing as small, fluid-filled bumps on the skin near the mouth and lips, cold sores can appear up to 20 days after you are exposed to a person carrying the herpes simplex virus [source: Mayo Clinic].
Although a group makeover can seem like fun at the time, an outbreak of pink eye or another infection is not. Diseases aren't just spread through close friends; you can also pick them up if you use the tester products at the local beauty counter, or if you have a department store makeup consultant give you a makeover. In fact, one study found staph, strep and E. coli bacteria in department store makeup tester products [source: Wu]. Without safety precautions, a carefree makeover day can turn into a visit to the doctor.
One potential, and particularly pesky, result of sharing eye makeup is getting pink eye, also known as conjunctivitis. This infection of the lining of the eyelid results in red, itchy, watery eyes and can last for up to two weeks [source: Mayo Clinic]. Pink eye is very contagious, so it is easy to spread among people sharing the same makeup. If you come down with this disease, a doctor can prescribe medicated eye drops to clear it up within a few weeks, but you won't be able to wear eye makeup or contact lenses in the meantime.
Swapping lipstick with a friend who is infected with the herpes simplex virus, which causes cold sores, can pass the virus on to you. You can contract herpes even without visible cold sores present on the infected person -- and remember, there's no cure for the herpes viruses. Just one incidence of sharing your lipstick can lead to a lifetime of contending with the condition if you contract the virus.
In addition to keeping your cosmetics to yourself, ensuring that what you own is still in working order can also prevent disease. Keep reading to learn how to avoid makeup contamination.

Is it safe to have sex in a spa? Can the water cause infections? Is there a greater chance the condom will break?
(link)
|
Yes & no. Water won't cause infection but bacteria in it can. Not everyone will be bothered by it, but there is no way to tell beforehand. Water is NOT a good lube with condoms, by the way.
A big yes on the condom question. From contraception.about ...Although condoms do protect against both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, they are a risky birth control method to use during pool sex or hot tub sex. They can possibly rupture from decreased lubrication and possibly deteriorate from heat, chlorine, or oil-based substances in the water (i.e., tanning lotion, sun screen, bubble bath, etc). Plus, there is the added threat that the condom can slip off if water gets into it, and a man may be unaware of this happening

I’m a young professional (25) working in an office where we have a few high school co-op students. One of them has been very stressed out and upset for days, and another told me it was because he broke up with his girlfriend, and then she had told him that she was 2 weeks pregnant, with twins, a boy and girl.
Problem is this: I know the ex-girlfriend is lying. Multiple births can hardly ever be confirmed before 6 weeks, and I live in a place where it’s illegal for a practitioner to tell you the gender before 20 weeks. It seems amazingly unlikely that she is telling the truth.
So his spiteful ex has lied to him. This is way more obvious to me then it is to him and his friends, though I imagine they suspect it. On one hand, I feel like its wrong for me to say anything since I know this will work out okay in the end and on the other hand I really don’t want to see anyone continue to suffer because of this girl’s stupid ploy. Despite being 'the boss' I'd also consider myself these people's friend... Do I bring it up with him? Or let it solve itself? (link)
|
I'd tell him. Tell him so he can stop stressing out.
Just take him aside, don't say anything in front of others. Tell him you have noticed he is stressed, ask if there is anything you can do to help. Give him the chance to say something to you. If he doesn't then you might say you have heard rumors about the pregnant ex. Then tell him like it is.
You might also go the extra yard and tell him how to avoid this kind of thing in he future. Personally, I think trusting your future to another
at such a young age is way to risky. No matter how much you may love them. Stress protection if not abstinence.
At the very least talk to his friend so he/she can pass it on.

I have two parakeets. The male used to like me and they used to hop on my hand to eat. Now they flip out if I get near them..I have had them for a couple months now...but they refuse to bond with me. THey only bond with each other. I want to seperate them so I can bond with them and train them....but I will feel bad if they aren't together....should I seperate them? (link)
|
If you want them to be friendly towards you then you will have to separate them. Since they have already bonded, it may not matter though. I's sure
give it a try for a while to see what happens.

19/f
Alright so the medication I am on depletes the calcium from my body and the bone damage that comes if you do not have enough calcium is not reversible. The problem is, all the calcium supplements I have tried make me pretty sick. I try to get calcium naturally from food but I also am sort of lactose intolerant. I can take about 1 glass of milk with food, but any more than that I get sick. Either way it isn't enough, my doctor said to try and get about 1500 mg a day. Anyway I am concerned becasue I am young and don't want any serve bone damage. Is there anything I could take with the supplement to help me digest them better, or calcium rich foods I that won't make me sick? Thanks (link)
|
Since you are on a medication, I will suggest that you call your doctors office. Explain the situation and see what he/she suggests you try.
Other than food, you should make sure you don't take anything with the supplement that may not get along with the medication. :)

My husband's best friend (you know, "like a brother") was diagnosed with brain cancer with mets about 3 months ago. We have been talking to him briefly every day. Now, for 3 days in a row, no answer on his phone. He & wife live WAY OUT in the country about 350 miles from us. We called both area hospitals, he's not at either one...The sheriff probably wouldn't do a wellness check for a non-relatve that involved about 80 mile roundtrip drive would they? Also we got the names of his closest neighbors based on property assessor site, but how weird would that be to call
what may be total strangers? Somebody give fresh ideas? mucho thanks...! (link)
|
Actually, I believe the sheriffs department would do a wellness check. It can't hurt to call them and ask, if nothing else they may offer some suggestions for you. I'm pretty sure they would check if they felt it was necessary.
It is good news that the hospitals doesn't have him & that he isn't alone out there. Its possible, with him living so far out, that he isn't in the hospital as an inpatient but, could be having a treatment daily or something that makes staying in town easier than driving back & forth.
How about a family member? I'm sure you have thought of that one already. If all else fails I would call one of those neighbors.

Ok so stupidly me and my boyfriend had sex whilst on my period (obviously it was in the time i wasnt taking birth control pills) Ive looked online and im worrying because I saw that the birth control pill can kill a baby when your pregnany, seriously harm it or cause miscariages.
What if I am pregnant? We only had sex 2 days ago so I wont be able to take a pregnacy test but If I am pregnant I dont want to harm the baby. Im meant to be taking the pill starting today.. I dont know what to do. Should I stay off it until I take a test? I am still on my period atm and the only thing that makes me stop my period is the pill. I dont know when I can take a test to find out... does anybody know? (link)
|
If you have been taking your birth control pills, you are not pregnant. You can safely have sex while you are on the off days. You are still protected.
No need for a test or worry unless you have pregnancy symptoms. Your chances of being pregnant are the same as they would be any other time of the month while on the pill. Rare.

I love my boyfriend and we have unprotected sex all the time. Hes ready for, and wants children but we are not married yet, and I am completely not ready to have kids right now. I want to finish college first. So every time we have sex, he never finishes inside of me because I don't want him to. I should be on birth control but I do not have insurance right now and cannot afford it! Problem is I know he really wants to finish inside of me and I want him to especially in the moment because it is such an intimate, close feeling, I just don't want to get pregnant. Anything I can do? We hate using condoms by the way and never do. Please no lectures about that, I'm not a little kid having unprotected sex, getting pregnant would not be the end of the world I just am not ready for it at the moment. (link)
|
You can go to your local planned parenthood, health department or a free or low cost clinic for a pelvic
exam/pre pill exam.
No insurance is not an excuse for not being on birth control pills. I don't know of any insurance that will pay for birth control pills anyway. I've always thought they should, but they don't.

alright, i could write ALOT about this, so i'm going to try my best and be brief. me and my mom have always been on and off, fighting pretty good and then other times we're totally fine and happy.
but anyways, i'm going on 19 in the next couple of months, have been in college for about half a year now, have had a steady job for two years and some friends of mine (i commute) were thinking of all getting a place together and asked me (which makes me happy cause i really only get to see them when i go to school or stay after school and don't ride the bus home so i can hang with them). well i mentioned this to my mom and she was just flat-out no about it. other situations liek this have happened - i'm going to a concert a state away and she FREAKED out when she heard cause i didn't run it by her. a friend a couple hours away wants me to come visit at their college but i'd have to take a train - "no". i want tattoos/piercings, but i can't get any unless i want kicked out of the house, but i can get them when i get my own place. well i just TRIED to and i can't! i understand where she's coming from, she's my mom and everything, but i just feel like she's not realizing i'm going on 19. my brothers a couple years older and he just randomly'll go out come home at 4am sleep all day and yeah she blows up on him but it just seems like there's that "oh well that's typical him "attitude to it and when it's something i did it's like, "how could you"? the most rebellious thing i ever did was went behind her back a couple years ago and gauged my ears and they're not even that big.
i just don't know what to do. i've tried talking to her about it and it just seems like she doesn't want to listen and "she's right". it just pisses me off cause it's like i need to abide by all HER rules in her home until i get my own place, but then i TRY to and she still says no. its just driving me crazy cause i just have no idea what to do.
i don't even know if this is something anybody can really give me advice on (my mom really doesn't like hearing anything that would put HER in the wrong; she just likes her side of the story), this may have been just more of a rant type of situation but if anyone feels like they can give any input i'd much appreciate it. i can try to explain it more if there's even more to explain, really, haha. (link)

If you're 19 and can help pay the bills at this apartment then just do it. Don't ask permission first. moms rules only apply so long as you're living under her roof.
Now, I don't know how you're paying for college. If mom is footing the bill she may use that to hold you there. it will be a big decision for you to make so think about it carefully.
She will be upset at first. She will get over it in time. Its not always easy seeing our children become adults. Sometimes the kid just has to get tough and make the move.
It comes down to this. you are 19 and legally an adult capable of making her own decisions. You have jobs, its not like you are taking off first and then looking for one. Keep in mind that you will have less spending money, but more freedom.
The choice is yours to make!Good luck.

so theres this guy i reeally like but he still likes his ex. but where quite good friends for a while but then it kinda stopped cause he knew that i like him. now since i told him that i dont anymore ( i lied :/ ; he told me that he stopped talking to me cause he didnt know how to handle the situation ) we talk again & he always gives me loads of eye contact, when we walk next to eachother we touch arms, when we have classes together he sometimes turns around to look/smile at me, he often smiles at me and everytime he sees me there's a spark in his eye. ive even been asked if we're going out so i guess im not the only one who sees it. so is there a chance that he maybe likes me back but doesnt know it cause he's so focused on liking his ex?? (he's liked her for a long time now but she has a bf and isnt interested)
is there any way to make him realise that i am likeable too? cause we have soo much in common & he really seems to like me as a person so ..
& he also often plays around with my hair haha
so is there a chance that he might like me back but doesnt know it?
& he did all those things before i told him i like him as well. he also continued keeping eyecontact when we didnt talk that much anymore. i like him soooo much & i cant get over him :/ (link)
|
Any guy who is this focused on his ex is not looking for a relationship with you. He has even backed off when he saw that you were having feelings for him.
I know it sounds harsh but you'll only get hurt if you are thinking he likes you but "doesn't know it".
Thats just not the case. Talking and eye contact does not in any way mean he wants to have a relationship with you. He may like you as a friend but that's all it is.
You may want to back off for a while and see what happens. His feelings could change over time of course, but I don't think you want to be rebound girl. Those relationships don't last.

i've had a minor crush on a guy for a couple months, we didn't hang out outside of work, just talked a little at the office. I knew he was going through alot. he told me about how he didn't know what to do with girls. he felt that he just gave and gave and when he needed something they didn't care about how he felt or what he needed. (which is something i've experienced as well... its very discouraging and you begin to think that there are no good people n the world)
he also is in the military and hates his job with a passion... he feels that it is a waste of his talents. he says "i've owned two businesses and employed over 500 ppl, yet they don't trust me to do the simplest tasks because of my rank" ... i was retired from the military because of the extremely OVERWHELMING anxiety i experienced from these SAME feelings.
just knowing what he was going through made me like him even more because not to long ago i was going through the EXACT same thing.
also...after spending 3 years as a lesbian because of bad experiences with guys... we slept together very soon after starting hanging out. I forgot how different sleeping with a man is. I wanted friendship... something casual, that grows naturally with time and when both people are ready... but sex made me scared and feel like i had to be important in his life or i would become a sex object... so i told him we cant do that any more. he agreed, and said he'd still like to hang out.
I still really like him, he's a super sweet guy who's going through a lot. i dont know that i'm ready for something serious... and for sure he isn't either. I think friendship is a good option because I've been where he is... but how do i separate my feelings for him from the friendship? or should i?
(link)
|
I think you stick to just being friends for now. Get to know him well and make sure he isn't handing you a sob story for sympathy. I hate to say it but
he wouldn't be the first guy to get in a woman's britches by using the poor pitiful me story.
If after couple of months he seems like a great guy instead of just a whiner, then you can pursue a relationship with him if you still want to.
You don't have to separate your feelings for him. Just make sure what you are feeling isn't just empathy. That would be a natural emotion for you to be having since you see a lot of yourself in his situation.

I am a 25 year old female. And it's this guy I've been seeing for the past month. Ok here goes... Our first time being togeather we went out to eat. And everytime following we only went to his place. We have been intimate everytime we see each other and we only see each other like at night mainly after ten at night.
I have gained really deep feelings for this guy in such a short peiord of time. I usually go over his house because he lives alone, and my aunt lives with me until she gets her own home. And when I do go over we usually watch a movie. But what I've come to notice is he don't cuddle with me during the movie he don't put his arm around me only time he wants to cuddle is mainly when we are about to have sex. And we mainly have sex after we finish watching the movie. And another thing I notice is that he shows no emotion towards me. He's always getting phone calls late at night and he runs in the room to answer the phone.
And just the other day when I was over, I forced him to have a talk with me. I asked him how he really felt about me and I told him I tiered of just having sex and I didn't want to this time. So he told me told me thathe had to meet with his brother and I had to leave. I was hurt and really confused.
And yesterday I found out my best friend of twenty years past away. And when I got the news I was over his house. He didn't confort me he didn't hold me and I was really crying... He just took me home and he still haven't call to check up on me. It's easy to just leave a guy alone that you don't really care about but... When theres feeling involved it's always so hard for me to leave. Usually their the ones who leave me and that's how I usually move on. And it's so hard right now alot of things in my life haven't been going right. What should I do? And how can I do it? (link)
|
Sorry to hear about your friend.
This guy has gotta go! You should never have to force someone who cares about you to talk to you.
Its obvious this guy is emotionally just not there.
He just wants sex not a relationship. You can do a lot better than him. All you have to do is tell him its not working out for you, then don't go out with him again. Don't even bother talking to him again since he doesn't have a lot to say anyway.
It will be hard to do but waiting will only make it harder on you. Dump him and find someone who really cares about you.

im a 54 year old grandma , who is trying to get 2 of my grandkids out of foster care .im getting no help with c.p.s. at all . does anyone know of a agency i can contact if i have a complaint against c.p.s. thanks so much (link)
|
You should probably get a lawyer to help you with this. They will know who to contact & how to get
the answers you need. They can put you off or ignore you, they won't do that to a lawyer. I think this will be the quickest way to get something done.
You might also contact your state representative since this is a state government entity.

I am getting a mole removed from my face. And it's not because of anything like skin cancer. I just feel like I want to get rid of it because of beauty reasons. So should I contact a cosmetologist and set up an appointment? Also, I know i'll need to wear a bandage over it for a while, but does anyone know for how long? I have a photoshoot soon, so I'd just like to how long it'd take to heal or whatever. Thanks. (link)
|
A cosmetologist does make up I believe and not surgery. You will want to contact a dermatologist first & then you will be referred to a cosmetic surgeon if necessary.
Actually, if they can remove it using laser surgery, a bandage may not be necessary.
After surgery it will scab over and heal within a couple of weeks. Redness may last longer than that,
but could probably be covered by make-up.
All good questions to discuss with your doctor at your first appointment.

I am going to the gynecologist soon and I have a few questions:
1. I'm not sexually active, I'm just getting put on the pill for my period. But I'm almost positive I'll be sexually active 6 months to a year from now. I was wondering if I should mention that during my visit? Or just mention it during an appointment after I lose my virginity?
2. If you're not sexually active, do they prescribe to you birth control pills that arent as effective as ones given to those who ARE sexually active? Or all birth controls just as effective regardless if you're sexually active or not?
3. I am not comfortable showing my body to anyone, especially strangers (like doctors.) What is a good way to get over this feeling and feel more relaxed?
4. Is there anything I should do to prepare for my appointment? Any other tips?
Thank you for your time. (link)
|
First let me say that you don't HAVE to go to a gynecologist for birth control. You can go to any doctor who is a family practitioner. Gyno's are expensive because the specialize in reproduction.
Just putting that out there for those who may not know that.
If you believe you will be sexually active within the year, you need to mention it. You don't HAVE to but they can provide you with much needed information. Just being on the pill isn't enough. The pill does not protect you from STD's.
All birth control pills are created equal. Those for periods are as effective as those for pregnancy prevention.
Believe me when I say no one is comfortable with
pelvic exams. A nurse will be in the room with you the entire time. While it is an awkward situation, they usually keep you talking about something totally unrelated and its over before you know it. Being a bit nervous is perfectly normal. Wish there was a way not to be but there really isn't.
Before you go for your appointment, write down any questions you may have for the doctor or nurse. I know it may sound silly, but as mentioned, you'll be nervous. Its really easy to forget to ask something, or just opting to get out
as soon as possible! Some of the questions you've asked here would be good ones to ask. just to ease your mind. :)

I am a 39 year old male and have been happily married for almost 9 years. My wife and I are soul mates and love each other deeply. In the past 2 years I have had erectile disfunction and our sex life is not what it used to be. I cannot perform very well. I have the sex drive, but my equipment doesn't seem to work. I have tried Viagra and others like it to no avail. My wife never complains, but I know she is missing out because I can never penetrate her. We have talked about engaging in other couples. I have mixed feelings about it. It is kind of exciting but I don't know about my feelings of sharing my wife. We have never considered doing anything like this before. We do everything together and this would be done together or not at all. Is this a road we should take? Please help. (link)
|
Absolutely not. It will probably do nothing to help your ED. Seeing another man satisfying your wife while you feel you can't certainly won't help your ED. It could even make it worse.
Speak very seriously with your doctor about your problem. Not a doctor who will just throw some Viagra your way either. There are many causes for ED that can be fixed with time. A doctor who will just give you Viagra is not attempting to fix the problem correctly. If you have already been tested for diabetes and other causes, there are other things to be tried medically.
If you and your wife love each other, you can have a very happy sex life regardless of your ED. Don't bring in another couple to complicate the situation even more. Nice fantasy for some, but
reality is a whole different ballgame.
