Lately I've been having some weird pain it almost feels like cramps/period sort of thing it has been coming and going for about a month now but the past week it seems everyday. The thing is, I haven't had a period in 5 years because I've been on birth control and I have been on "Mirena IUD" since 2007..Never have I exsperienced this sort of pain not to mention slight back pain as well. I do not bleed and the chances of getting pregnant is 1% (Yes I know there is always that 1 chance) Yes, I do have sex and most of the time it is unprotected. I have not took a pregnancy test recently because in my mind why waste the money when it is probably going to do the sad face and say negetive anyway. I do plan on see my gynocologist but I wanted to see what other people had to say also...Do you really think I should take a test? Plus if anyone eles is on the same birth control what are the odds of getting pregnant? :/ eh..

I'm just going to guess this could be pain related to your IUD. Seeing your doctor will be your best course of action. If he/she feels you need a pregnancy test after checking it out, then by all means take one. :)

Will Michael Jackson's kids be homeless? I know he has three children: Paris Katherine, Prince Michael, and Prince Michael II--also known as Blanket. They're all underage so they need an adult guardian, at the very least.
Now that Michael Jackson has died, will his kids become wards of the state or something? I know that Michael Jackson wasn't married when he died so the children don't have a proper mother, right?
Will Michael Jackson's children be placed in foster homes? (link)
| |
Why would his children be homeless? They all have mothers and michael had a large family. I'm sure his kids will be very well taken care of.
|
Michael Jackson died today at age 50. It's really sad, actually, because he was pretty young to be dying of heart problems. I'm not saying I liked or disliked Michael Jackson so please no bashing of the man here.
Anyway, reports have indicated that Michael Jackson died of cardiac arrest but nobody can be 100% certain until there is an autopsy done, right?
When will Michael Jackson's autopsy be performed so we know if Michael Jackson really died of cardiac arrest, a drug overdose, was murdered, or actually committed suicide? (link)
|
The autopsy is being started today (Friday).
Since he was young and didn't have a history of heart problems, an autopsy is necessary.
According to the family lawyer/friend he has been warning the family of Michaels being "over medicated" since the death of Anna Nicole Smith. He says he told them if that ever happened here, he would not keep quiet. SO, I suspect it will be found
that he was again addicted to prescription medication. This is just a possibility, we will know soon.

I have stretch marks on my thighs from a growth spurt, and I want to know if anyone has like secret tricks to get rid of them, I don't have coco butter like everyone says works, and I really can't afford to go out and buy products, does anyone have a good way to get rid of them within a few weeks or months? (link)
| |
Cocoa butter will be your best bet. Any lotion that contains cocoa butter. This will only help to fade them. You cannot get rid of them completely. Stretch marks are damaged skin that cannot be repaired. They are similar to scars.
|
Are there any good fan sites for Michael Jackson?
I miss him greatly already and am really sad that he passed away today. I've always wanted to become some sort of fan member of Michael Jackson but I never took the time to sign up and express my love for his music and talents. I even feel sick to my stomach that I never took the time to see Michael Jackson in concert :(
So, yeah...anybody know how I can become an official fan member (I will even purchase a fan membership somewhere if possible) of Michael Jackson, the King of Pop?
THANX (link)

What's the deal with Jon & Kate Gosselin!?
I heard something was up and their marriage was ending but I never got the story or the truth. Please tell. I don't know is reliable sources and I trust Advicenators to be honest with me. (link)
| |
Its true they are divorcing. It was in the news recently that they have actually been separated for 2 years. Guess this is one reality show that is a fraud.

the time came..where i was within 50 feet of him, i saw him but not his face..so im unsure if he saw me..but im sure he heard me..anyways yeah yesterday i saw him at his job, i told you that right? and well yeh. i avoided going past it so much, then gave up..yeh.. next thursday will be 2 months. woot! it seems so hard yet so easy at the same time..but yeh yeeep! what do i do nowwwww...just wait some moreee? its hard if he knows i know he works there and i appear a lot it may seem like im doing it purposely, i had to walk the long way around of the store..it sucked..then i needed something and im like erh i guess ill go the long way.. then after awhile i gave up. :-\ (link)
| |
You don't have to avoid seeing him. Just keep it casual. :)
|
Well the title pretty much says it all.
I've come back from uni for the summer and I was tidying up the spareroom and found a tape in the machine. So i know it probably wasn't right of me to watch it but it turns out it was porn! I looked in one of his draws and there's like 7 tapes in there!
I really don't know what to do, I want him to stop doing it. But i don't know what to say to anyone? Or whether i should say anything at all?
I don't think it would bother me so much if he wasn't over 65!!!!!!!!!!!! It's disgusting!! And it's really on my mind loads.
we are moving house soon, so i was thinking maybe i could 'misplace' them in a bin somewhere and he wouldn't notice?
thanks in advance... (link)

I know you don't want more answers, but something was left out I feel should be added.
I know this is a bit weird because it is your dad we are talking about. Most likely, as has been said, he has been doing this a long time. It is also probably true that your mom may watch it with him. If she doesn't I am sure she is aware.
It is also a fact that as men age they sometimes have a problem getting or maintaining an erection.
Watching porn is a lot cheaper and a LOT more healthy than taking viagra, or any of the other drugs out there for erectile dysfunction.
So don't say anything at all. It would be embarrassing for you both. I understand you were shocked and disgusted by it. Just understand that your parents are free to do as they please in their own home. Be thankful the girls are on film and he is staying home! :)

me and my boyfriend have been dating 6 months. befor we were dating, he was i guess u cud say a man whore haha he jus had sex wit alot of girls. he has depression and is going through a really hard time right now with family and stuff so he is stresesd. wel while we were dating for 6 months i am a virgin so he has gone without sex for 6 months. yesterday, he was going to take my virginity but he couldnt get hard. i was naked on his bed and he said he wanted to have sex with me so bad but he couldnt keep an erection. at one point he had one and then he was about to go in and it went away. he said he was embarassed and didnt know why it was happeneing but today we were lightly kissing in his bed and he got hard. i dont get it. it haappens at all the wrong times haha whats wrong with him? (link)
|
His depression and/or meds he may take for that depression could be causing it. As has been said before me, just the stress of the situation could cause it. Fear of getting caught, fear of getting you pregnant...the list is long!
It couldn't hurt for him to speak to his doctor about it if it continues.

I recently went to the gyno to diagnose a painful abscess I had on my inner labia- she said it is a blocked gland, so I had to put hot compress (with hot epsom salt water) and was prescribed an antibiotic. After a day, the abscess drained on its own- (mix of blood and pus came out), and I was told it was a good thing, and to continue with the treatment. I also have a pill (difflucan) in case of a yeast infection caused by antibiotics.
I noticed that the area is now purplish (looks like a bruise) and is slightly white-ish/grey. Any thoughts? (link)
| |
The discoloration is normal. It will probably not go away. It is not a sign of anything bad. Unfortunately its just a result of the abscess.

I have been with my boyfriend for about 7 months, he's my age. I really do love and trust him. he never pressures me into anything. We got on the topic of having sex. I feel like i'm emotionally ready, but i don't know if i'm physically ready. I haven't seen a gynecologist, get birth control, or get vaccination for cervical cancer. I don't want to take any chances, cause a condom isn't enough. so i want to wait, but how do i approach the whole situation? on top of that, how do i tell my mom? (link)
|
I really don't have much to add to what has already been said. Just wanted you to know that its refreshing to see someone who is actually thinking before having sex.
So long as he isn't pressuring you & you two are talking about it, tell him how you feel. I'm sure he has those same fears. They are not silly, they are very real. Condoms work very well, but accidents do happen. Pregnancy scares when you aren't prepared for it are emotionally draining, even for adults!
About the cervical cancer shot, I agree with witty
about that. I have worked in the medical field and personally would never take ANY new med until it was out for at least 7 years. Thats the recommended time to wait by those not looking to make a buck OR those doctors who use their own minds and don't just push things for drug company reps. As bad as I wanted to try Phenfen for weight loss when it first came out, I waited. A nurse friend lost a TON of weight so I knew it worked. Then people started dropping dead from heart attacks. Glad I waited! You can find more on that online. But it is becoming common. They rush things out to market without a lot of testing anymore.
Just have a talk with your mom about birth control. Have a girls day out or something and get her to yourself. She may be a little upset
at first. Its hard to realize your daughter is becoming a woman sometimes! But, she will be glad you came to her and are being smart. It will bring you closer together too. Give her time to
take it all in. She will. It may take a couple of days, be patient.
Boy, said a lot for someone with nothing to add!
Best of luck!

So I'm confused. I've heard that when a boy says you're "cute" it means that he doesn't really think you're that good looking but he would still hook up with you. Well I've been called cute a lot, but I'm not sure if its the same or not. After I say something funny/ditzy or if I have a blonde moment he will say "Ha, youre cute". Or when i come into school a boy will say "Well don't you look cute today?" and I'm just confused cuz I've heard them say to girls that they look hot so I don't know. Oh yeah I get a lot of "youre so adorable"s too. Maybe this is because I'm quite a bit younger than most of my grade? I don't know, what exactly does "cute" mean??? (link)
|
Cute just means cute. Trust me when I tell you guys do not go out of their way to say one thing and mean something else. If he says your cute, that's what he means. Weather he is talking about your looks OR your actions.
So long as he isn't calling you a dog or saying your ugly or stupid...your ok in his book.

how do i gain weight on just my butt? Excersize does not help it makes my whole body thin. (link)
|
You can't gain or lose weight in any one area.
You want a big butt, you have to eat a ton and get fat everywhere. Some people just have a big butt only because that's just the way they are built. They usually wish they didn't have one.

I feel like such an idiot. Today is friday and I took a tampon out that I left in for 4 days. When I put it in I was going swimming. My menstral flow was very light almost non existant, but I wanted to be on the safe side. THe size tampon was junior the smallest that playtex makes. When I removed the tampon there was no blood on it.But it was soaked with Vaginal secretions. There was no bad odor. I am now worried that I will have toxic shock syndrome. I am in a panic. I am 41 and this has never happened to me before. I only use tampons in the summertime when I swim so that is probably why I forgot about it. Please answer as soon as possible.So far I have not had any symptoms of TSS. (link)
|
Don't feel like an idiot! It is very common actually. It is a concern though. Here is a link to my forum that has everything you need to know about TSS. It is about the 16th subject down from the top.
It is mentioned in other topics along the way too.
You most likely would have had symptoms by now if you were going to. Just don't hesitate to seek medical help should they develop now.

I've been with my boyfriend for about seven months but we were close friends before that. Our relationship has never been plain sailing and we have had countless problems and arguments, even briefly splitting up once or twice. Recently it's just got to the point where we're barely together. We rarely see each other, when we speak on the phone we just argue. Neither of us know what we want, we've said 'I love you' to each other but I don't feel like that anymore.
I keep thinking about my ex and how happy I was with him, we split up over a year ago but I know I'm just thinking like that because I'm not happy with my current boyfriend.
I know it sounds obvious that we should just split up, but everytime I try and do it something stops me. I've been diagnosed with Depression and I'm scared of being alone, as my boyfriend is my rock. As I said, we were very good friends before and confided in each other alot. I know it would be selfish to expect him to stay friends with me if I were to break up with him. I know he cares about and loves me and I don't want to hurt him.
I don't know what to do. I feel so selfish for not making a decision but I just can't bring myself to do it. We've tried going on breaks and things still aren't working. What should I do? (link)
|
You have been given some good advice, don't know if I can add anything worthwhile, but I will try!
It is possible you were meant to be just friends. Now that you have become boyfriend/girlfriend it is hard to step away from each other. You know the relationship can never go back to the way it was. You don't want to lose that bond and its scary to think you might. Neither wants to hurt the other or be the ONE to actually say its over. But it kinda is. Am I close?
Something that stands out for me is that you "rarely see each other". Why is that? School? Distance can cause people to grow apart too. And then to argue when you do speak on the phone is not a good sign.
All that being said, it may be time for you to really end the boyfriend/girlfriend part of the relationship FOR NOW. You can still be friends, it won't be exactly the same, but it is possible.
It could just be simply that neither of you want to give up that friends part of the relationship. So, you just keep plugging along as boyfriend/girlfriend for fear of losing that bond.
Talk about that.
Thinking you could still be friends is not selfish. It happens all the time. It may take a couple of months of no or very little contact to get to that point, but it can happen. Probably after you've both moved on.
Since you are probably on meds for your depression, is this relationship or feelings about it, the only thing you are still having a big time problem with? Have other things improved?
If so a break might be the best thing for now.
Remember breaking up with that first boyfriend? How hard it was? But you survived and made it through> Same with this one. It takes time.
After all that, You never know what the future holds. Time is a great healer. You could both decide you want to be together again.
I sure wish I could tell you exactly what to do.
All we can really do is give you some things to think about.
I do like the other advice you were given. You have some thinking to do! Either way, I wish you luck. You know where to find me if needed. Best of luck sweetie. :)

I'm just following up with you. I'm the person who needs to keep hydrated at the race track. This event is the Indycar race in Toronto in July. Security people check bags constantly here.
They won't allow any kind of bags, bottles, cans in at all. I've seen them take stuff off of people. I can get an exemption but I need a doctor's note. I'm not going to waste time doing that.
They sell bottled water for obscene prices there and it's a crummy sized bottle at that. I need those big ones or an idea on how to buy the tiny ones and not spend a fortune on them as they seldom cut it.
There is one air conditioned building within steps of my seat. If they have water fountains perhaps I can get away with refilling the bottles. I'm not cheap but I don't like paying over $5 a bottle when the bottle is the size of those small individual sized coke bottles with the red tops. I guess you can get my drift.
The concession foods are even smaller than the conventional pizza slice size here. It's incredible but the racing is usually great. (link)
|
Our track did that the first year. They haven't since. Of course you can't count on that. I don't blame you though, I wouldn't pay that for water either.
Our track does have a few...lets call them REAL restrooms. Complete with running water in the sink.
The refilling a bottle may be your best bet. You may even be able to bring your own empty bottle in.
Might be worth a shot.
Seems those places always overprice everything. Its just ridiculous.
Enjoy the races! You will have a blast I know! :)
|
I know you are in the medical field or were at some point. I figured I would ask your advice on this. On July 10-12th I'm going to a three day racing event from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. each day when the track goes dark.
I'll be out in the sun the whole time but there is one large building there with air conditioning and exhibits when there's breaks in the action. I'm on lithium, seroquel, lamictal for bipolar and have to stay hydrated the whole time with water.
They haven't made it easy this year as in years past I could bring in as much bottled water as I could stuff into a soft-sided cooler that goes under my seat. The new promoters have banned coolers all around and anything from outside the facility which is a temporary street course.
I don't want to spend a bloody fortune on small tiny bottles of water to keep safe. I want to be safe but not drain a lot out of my limited funds. Any idea how to play it safe while down there? The only water I want is the HUGE bottles but they might not have that.
Sunburn is also something that cannot happen for the same reasons as above. Beside sunscreen and a sensible shirt there's not much I can do as I'm sitting in the grandstand with no canopy above me. I have to be cool and constantly slugging back fluids other than alcohol. (link)
|
If its affordable for you, go to walmart and get one of those very large straw looking bags. They remind me of knitting bags. They are with the purses and backpacks (which might be another solution). Carry in your water in it. The water may not keep cold (could try freezing it and/or wrapping it in foil) but it will keep you hydrated.
I doubt they are going to inspect your bag. They have started that around here at our car racing track. Main reason is (according to them)trash & broken glass from peoples containers.
If you drive bringing a cooler and leaving it in your car is also an option. Not one I like though because it means walking back and forth to the car.
Then, I would invest in a big floppy straw hat or an umbrellas to shade your head. That, along with your sun screen will hopefully keep you from burning.
I'd also put in a call to the organization holding the event & complain. :)

I really hate my mom's boyfriend. I swear he really does try to disrespect me on purpose. Everything has to be in his control. Behind my moms back he is inappropriate I swear to god I want to leave I hate seeing his face everyday. I think the guy is sexually attracted to me or something and he is like 34 and I am only 22. Maybe other girls are into that type of fooling around but I am not. And it pisses me off that he thinks that about me. And then its like the only thing we can trust is his opinion like he does not want to share us his just a boyfriend of my mom and I am an adult for him to act like he can control me. I hope you understand how I feel. Cause I know some people have a hard time figuring out exactly what I feel. Moving out is something I can not do right now so dont tell me that. (link)
|
Don't put up with his crap. Tell your mom what is going on. Does he live with you?
Anytime he makes a move on you, loudly tell him to keep his hands to himself. One way or another, get your mom to start paying attention to what is going on. Yes, it might hurt her feelings, but if this guy is doing this to you, he will eventually do something to someone else and hurt your mom anyway.
If he tries to get to intimate, call the cops on him. You are an adult, don't allow him to control you.
If he is not a live in, make it a point never to be around when he is over. Go to a friends or whatever you can to just be gone while he is there.
Do talk to your mother though. She needs to know what is going on.

I found a hard (sort of) lump on my vulva the other day- it had a small white head, and a tiny bit of pus came out. It is now much larger- i took a warm bath and applied a warm wash cloth, but it is quite large (about the size of a pea, or little bigger) and nothing seems to help. It is pretty sore...
I will call the gyno to get it checked out
Anyone know what this could be? I am really worried. I have had sex only once (few years ago), and tested for STDs, but am now worried this could be cancerous (HPV-related), or will not heal properly on its own. (link)
|
They will get bigger before they burst. Until it does it could be very painful. If you have some triple antibiotic cream put some over it. Cover it with something because it will make a big mess, but it will probably break. You won't believe the crap that will come out of it, don't let it scare you.
After it breaks continue with the antibiotic ointment. Covering it after it breaks isn't real
necessary but may make you feel better. It will take some time to heal.
I realize it may be in a place that makes covering such as a band aid impossible. Gauze or anything like that places loosely over it will work.Just stick it to the antibiotic.
