I have been taking birthcontrol for 2 years, I have two children, My question is if you are on birth control and you are taking penicilin can you get pregnant, if so how soon can you take a pregnancy teest to confirm if you are or not. Thank You (link)
| |
You can. Probably not real likely but it is possible. Call the pharmacy or your doctors office and they will give you the info you need to be sure. They have so many home tests anymore that say they can detect it early but I have my doubts about that. Call and find out for sure.They won't charge you for it.

okay symtoms of genital herpes :
Numbness, tingling or burning in the genitals
burning when you urinate
watery blisters in genetal area and flu symptoms
Doesn't really sound like herpes.And it is sexually transmitted, so I doubt thats it.
Now what you could have is genital warts. They are painless, kinda greyish white (may kinda look like cauliflower but not necessarily). They can be itchy or mildly sore. Warts are harmless,but contagious. They are just like the kind you'd get on your hands. I looked them up and it say's they usually disappear on their own within 6 months-2 yrs.
The good news is that a doctor can remove them. I have worked for DR. and it doesn't take long. I know that it's embarrassing but that is what I'd recommend you do. If you do have sex use a condom because they are contagious. After they are removed if they don't come back you are probably fine. But, a doctor can give you that information for sure. The main thing is they aren't from anything you've done. They are the same virus as the one's that grow elsewhere on people so don't be embarrassed. Tell mom and see a doc. Okay?

i got my period for the first time about 1 year, and 8 months ago. I haven't had it very many times since. i get it like every 2 or 3 months? i heard that body weight has something to do with it and some sites tell me that im "emaciated" and stuff like that, but i eat, have a fast matabolism, and im active. do you think this is why my period is irregular? ps im like 5'6 and 105, i think. thankss (link)
| |
You can also not have it if you are really athletic or if you are under age 17 they can do what your's are doing because you are growing. You are fine.

i thought i was pregnant because i was giving my bf a handjob and he was fingereing me and i didnt know if he had some on his finger..because he jacked off b4..but anyways, i took a home test and it said ii wasnt and i went to planned parenthood and they said i wasnt. but i dont know i keep thinking i am..how accurate are planned parenthood's tests? because i didnt get a period for the month of m arch, but then again neither did my mom and she just got hers today and im usually right after her--but im freaking out.. (link)
| |
Stress is probably causing you not to get your period. If you are growing yet (under 17) that can cause you not to have it. Planned parenthood tests are exremely accurate. You are fine.

Hi,
I'm trying to lose weight. STOP right there - don't pass this on by thinking it's just another one of those 'HOW DO I DO IT?' questions. I know how to lose weight, what my basal metabolic rate is, even what excersizes I should be doing. What I want to know is:
*How can I keep this up? How do I stay motivated?
*And how many times will I have to sit on my hands to resist the urge of going to the biscuit tin before saying 'no, I don't really want that' becomes a habit?
Thanks!! xxx (link)

email me if I can email you. Doing good so far but, hey would be nice to have support now and then. Address is on my column if interested.

Is it true that you can loose calories by chewing gum? I heard it today, and it makes sense because you are chewing and not eating, and I've heard that it can help you loose weight while cooking so you don't eat, so what's the deal? (link)
| |
Anything you do will burn calories. I doubt that chewing gum will burn enough to count for anything. Wish it would though I'd be chewing all day! Same with cooking. Because you are up and doing something not because you aren't eating. If you want to burn a lot of calories, enough to make you lose weight, you have to do some form of exercise. Hope you're on the winning side of the bet. :)

is there any way to get your period to go away faster...cuz i have a competition on monday and just started my period today. also..what can i do for cramps? thanks a ton! (link)
|
Unfortunatley there isn't. You can regulate them somewhat if you are on the pill but they don't go away faster. They just have a mind of their own! Hopefully by Monday it will be done or will have slowed down at least.
Midol is good for cramps. Hot water bottle on your tummy works too. :)
|
does the type of tampon you use make you more likely to get TSS? i mean if you use regular as opposed to light will i be more likely to get TSS?
thanks
(link)
|
Superabsorbant tampons increase chances of TSS.
Believe it or not most cases of TSS in women who use tampons is because they forget to take that last one out. I've heard it recommended that you change them at least every 8 hrs. So, you can sleep with one in just remember to remove it in the morning!

|
if your are really athletic, are you less likely to get you period? or is it the exact opposite? (link)
| |
If you're really athletic, you are probably going to start later. You may also skip them altogether some months when you do start.

I'm really beginning to think that I'm paranoid. Many people say that I am but I'm really not sure. Everything scares me and I always think the worst of things. If someone doesn't call when they say they're going to, I get worried something happened. When my parents are late getting home from work and they don't call, I think they got into a car accident or something. Whenever my boyfriend calls and says "I want to talk to you" I start crying because I think he's going to break up with me. Yesterday I was hanging out after school with a few friends and we were just walking around town and I kept looking behind me because I always think that someone's following me. At night, if my dogs start to bark I keep thinking that someone is breaking into my house. I can never get sleep at night. I'm always tired and I can't focus in school. My grades are suffering as well as my relationship. I need help. I don't know what to do anymore. (link)
| |
You tell your parents and see a doctor. You need help dealing with all this because it's making you miserable. Don't let it get worse, tell them now.And don't hold anything back.

This is the second time i have posted this.. maybe someone will remember me from the first time. I am not 16 years old and i would say that i have felt insecure for as long as i can remember but it has worsened over the past year. I dont feel im a "normal" teenager, my mother has even said so a couple times. I dont like to go out, i actually dont like to do anything. I hate the way i look and im very insecure about my body. (actually im insecure about everything about myself) I no that its "normal" for a girl to be insecure about her looks but theres more. I have so much doubt and regret that im drowning in it. For the past couple of months ive been thinking that its possible im depressed, like clinically. Im not suicidal but i feel so sad all the time and spend alot of the time crying and begging God to take away all this pain. So far my prayers have not been answered. I havent told my parents for a number of reasons. I know that i can tell them anything but im scared. Im afraid they wont take me seriously and im embarrased. I also dont want them to feel like its their fault or anything because i do have a pretty good life, which actually causes me to feel really guilty. Im just really scared and its been sooo long that i have felt this way and havent told them i dont want them to be mad and i just dont know what it will be like afterwards. Im also scared to see a doctor but i also really want to stop feeling like this way. Tonight, after having a good cry i thought about telling them again but i dont think i can get through it without crying like a baby. So i decided to write a letter and give it to them but im afraid im not brave enough. I did start the letter though. Please someone tell me what i should do. I mean.. what if im just being dramtic and looking for attention and i tell them and they take me to a doctor and its nothing, i will feel so embarrassed. I dont want people to feel bad for meand if i tell my parents i wont be able to take it back. But i just dont no and im sick of wishing i could run away and start over with a new life. I sick of wanting more. Everyday is just like the one before it and i cant handle it. I feel like im going to fall apart. Ok i think this is long enough.. what im asking of you is that u tell me if u think this is depression or am i just being overly dramatic and also do i tell my parents and if so how.. was the letter a good idea?? PLEASE HELP!!! (link)

You need to tell your parent's and get some help.
Teen's get depressed for any number of reasons. You don't have to be suicidal to get help. You don't want to depressed to that extent! So, you really need to tell your parents and make them understand so they get you some help. Okay? Let me know how it goes. :)

I babysit for an hour and a half everyday.
Lucky me, I get the hours when the youngest baby wants to go to sleep more.
The parents keep asking me to try and keep her awake till they come home cause if not she won't sleep at night.
I always fail and she always ends up falling asleep then the parents have trouble getting her back to sleep in the middle of the night.
So I need tips on keeping her awake. She's 8 months old. Don't just say ''Play with her'' because I keep trying but she just crys then I pick her up and she falls asleep.
Oh and I also babysit her sister who is 3 years old so anything that they could both do would be good, I don't want to leave any of them out.
(link)
|
Maybe you could suggest that the parents put the baby down for a nap earlier in the day so that she is willing to stay awake while you're there.
At 8 months old it isn't going to matter much though. She's still going to sleep when she pleases and wake up at night. :)

somehow, a friend of mine found out that my best friend and i and two other guys were going somewhere next week and she invited herself to the double date and already told her date. i cant just not invite her because she is a good friend of mine nad i don't want to be mean, but i want it just to be the four of us. what do i do? what do i tell her? (link)
| |
You just tell her that the four of you already made these plans and there is no room to add more. Then, in a few day's I'd gently try and explain how you really shouldn't invite yourself on other peoples dates. Nicely.

My best friend(we'll say lucy) is going to prom with this kid(we'll say nick). Well recently they got into a fight because nick went out and picked up our other friend and brought her out to lucy's house after we had asked him to. Well we promised that we would give him ten dollars gas money, since he was low, if he did this for us. Well lucy has been practically obsessed with nick for the passed two years but he won't give her the time of day. Before lucy and i started talking i had dated nick and it was actually through him that lucy and i became aquainted. Lucy and nick are both seniors and lucy's dream was to go to her senior prom with him. Luckily thanks to the help of her friends, nick agreed to go with her. Well when lucy worked her ways nd talked nick into leaving without that gas money, he got really mad. (because he was on E when he got home) And the reason she didn't give it to him was because she didn't have change for a twenty. When nick got home he txt messaged me to tell me that he wasn't going to prom with lucy and this really upset her. Then another fight broke out because I have been talking to him AS FRIENDS and some of lucy's other friends don't see this appropriate. But when i don't talk to him, everyone gets mad at me and yells because they say there is no reason to hate him just because he broke my heart. So me, trying to be the peace maker, started talking to him civilized once again and now we're friends. (NOTHING MORE)Well he called me today and we got to talking. I begged him to reconsider taking lucy to prom because i know how much this means to her, nd he said: "Hmmm, i have an idea". Well this idea isn't any good :( AT ALL-- He agreed to go with lucy again to prom on one condition; if i sleep with him. He has been bugging me to sleep with him for the passed 7months because i turned him down the two times we were together. I know I can't do that to her even though it would get her to prom. And i don't know how to tell her because it would devastate her. But what if i tell him no and he wont go to prom with her? Then i will feel like this is all my fault because i didn't betray my friends trust.. I'm so hurt and confused-- please and thank you for listening to me babble!! (link)
| |
It might hurt her but you really should say something to her. Maybe she will get over her obsession with him. He isn't real crazy about her or he wouldn't be jerking her around like he is. Nor would he be wanting to sleep with you! So, tell her. And never fall for that sleep with me for favors thing. You will just feel bad. The friend will find out and she'll feel bad. The only one benefiting is him.

i have this friend and she's like my best friend here at this school i just moved to, and like she knows everything about me and what not. but like recently i've noticed that she's been copying me, like everything and it's really annoying. i mean she's super nice but also shy so i don't know how to tell her this. like my handwriting is my handwriting like it's your thing and i like my handwriting it's actually nice but i've noticed that she started copying the way i write like my n's and h's and t's! like it really bugs me! she also copies the way i hold my hands while walking and she's starting to say things like i do!i always say holy crap like as an expression and she says it too! Like before i came here she seemed to have friends but like when i became friends with her she seemed to be attached to me and i'm like the "leader" of the two of us! isn't she the one who's supposed to show me around and tell me stuff...not me? i made new friends and like i have a lot more in common with them then the ones before that i ate lunch with, with my bff, but when i went to eat lunch with my new friends she wanted to follow, like i didn't want to say no but i didn't want her to come, i know that may seem mean but like the two groups don't mix, but she came and she started comming everday so then everyday up to this day we eat lunch with my new friends but everyday she seems depressed when we eat lunch with them. she's very insecure it seems and it seems like no one really treated her as a real like member of her group before i came, like she even told me that i was the one she was the closest to in all of that table, but i'm like didn't she hang out with them for like five years...shouldn't she be good friends with at least one of them? in the beginning of the year i remember someone mentioning that she was copying them before i came. so how do i tell her that i need some space. or do i even tell her? i mentioned to my new friends that i wanted to hang out with them but being with my bff hasn't let me...sorry this was extremely long. (i have never been the "leader" of a group, we were always all equal and just had fun, and we mostly weren't shy between ourselves! AND i've noticed that i've started to become like her more and it's not the good things, the way i walk like she walks really fast because she's insecure/shy and seems like shes in a hurry all the time and i've started to do that too!) how would i deal with this situation? (link)
|
Have her over and look at magazines. Try doing a makeover on her and all that kind of thing.She just seems to need someone to follow. Since she has elected you to be the leader...show her what to do. Try to see it as a positive. She just needs some guidence so try to show her how to have her own style.During all this explain to her about your needing space now and then and how she really shouldn't copy every single thing others do. Just say it nicely in conversation so her feelings don't get hurt.

my friend is having her bday party...but my other friend is having hers the same day..but invited me afterwards. I want to go to both..should i try and work where i leave one party early to go to the other..should i just pick one party to go to? i dont want to hurt anyones feelings. (link)
| |
If you are able to do it I think you should try to go to both. Just explain to them that you want to come to both party's so you will have to leave on early to go to the other. Otherwise they will think you are playing favorites.

One of my best friends (Lizzie) has been totally ditching me for this other chick (Amanda).. And it's starting to worry me, because Amanda is kind of bossy, and a bit of a whore.. Lizzie has always had self esteem issues and stuff, and i think Amanda is gonna end up hurting Lizzie.. And I'm also kind of hurt because Lizzie won't talk to me (Amanda and I hate eachother), and I really miss being friends. Any thoughts on what I should do? (link)
| |
You could ask her why she suddenly doen't want to be friends anymore. After that you just wait and see if she doesn't get sick of the bossy Amanda.Most likely she will sooner or later.

I've liked this boy since i was 8, his name is Ty. I never told him becuase id thought he would have laughed.
Since i have moved up to my next school grade 6 he has been hanging out with me and my new mates after school and i like him more, he is my best friend.. well one of them! But i have my new best friend abi, she is blonde, a model, good looking, fashionable, funny and everything a boy wants. He is really into her and she is really into him. They have been dating on and off all through the year, well since we started our new school.
I wish he liked me... he told my friend lauren that he liked my personality but likes abis looks... so he basically is going for abi becuase her looks..
He wont date me becuause im not blonde. Im not gonna dye my hair just for a boy i mean boys come and go so why would i do that? [if u suggest that] but i really do wanna date him he is so good looking and all the girls like him.. i guess im lucky to be his best mate but i wanna b more.
I got dared to snog him but he wouldnt [coz im not blonde] i told him a millioon times i liked him! but he dont listen. how could i make him like me? i mean im not exactly pretty but i have a nice body [not bragging] and he flirts with me sometimes. I just so wish he would date me!!
So yeah how can i get him to like me?? please post
lush me x (link)
| |
Well, I think you've done about all you can do for now. If the ONLY reason he is going out with Abi is her looks, it probably won't last long. So, if/when they break up then make your move! Until then though, you don't want to pester him to much or that may be a big turn off. Sorry I couldn't offer happier advice.
|
|
I need help... well i am going out wit someone lets call him Jason! well anyways I really like Jason but I really love my old boyfreind lets call him Jon.. well me and Jon talk alot on the phone.. i loved him since we started goin out heck, ive liked him since i first saw him! lol .. well what I am asking is should i break up with "Jason" or stay with him.. I mean i like him and dont want to hurt him but I love Jon! I cant not think about him.. i dont kno I am so confused (link)
| |
I guess if Jon wants to give it another try then you should follow your heart.There is no way to get out of a relationship without hurting someone. So long as you're nice about it though you may still be able to remain friends with Justin.
