So, lately my life has been so chaotic and busy I somehow ended up being quite stupid with my birth control pills.
Basically, I finished my pack on Wednesday, and was then supposed to have the week of placebo pills, but I wanted to skip my period due to various reasons, and my doctor said it would be fine. However, I forgot to take the pill on Thursday, so my period started sometime on Friday. However, because I was so tired and my head was so full off things, I took the first pill of the next pack like I originally intended to on Friday evening.
Now, I'm currently on my period and taking the pill like I would have normally, since I didn't think I should just stop it.
Will my period finish within the next few days, like normal? And then I just keep on taking the pill for the next few weeks and take the placebo ones in the end.
Any comments on this would be appreciated, I'm pretty annoyed at myself for being so stupid about this.
Don't worry, it's not a big deal.
Firstly, if you're sexually active then make sure you use an additional form of contraception, such as a condom, for 7 days as your body is going to think you've missed a day and you may not be protected.
Your period should end in a few days but it may be longer or shorter than usual. This is nothing to worry about. Take the rest of the pack including the placebos then start your next pack as you would normally. You may notice some changes in your cycle, for example if you usually get your period on your second placebo day then you may now get it on your third etc. Again, not a cause for concern.
My doctor has told me it's safe to run pill packs back to back as long as you don't do it for more than three months at a time. So take three packs back to back, then at the end of the third pack take the placebos. However, it's quite common for your periods to be heavier and more painful if you do this.

im not saying im scuicidal but just wondering what other people think on it. Do you guys see it as a person going thru so much that decided to end his misery. Or do you see it as some shallow uncaring jerk that decided to end it. I dont know i just kind of want peoples opinions on the subject whatever it may be.
As someone who's parent has tried to commit suicide three times, I really struggle with this issue.
The first time my Mother tried it, I was too young to understand so I didn't really react to it. The second and third times were different. Once the initial feelings of upset and fear had subsided and I knew she was going to be okay, I found myself really, really angry with her. I was furious that she could be so selfish as to do that to me, my sister, my Dad, her parents. Suicide doesn't just affect the person who is depressed, it affects everyone around them. It was incredibly traumatic and upsetting for all of us. Later I realised that she wasn't doing it out of selfishness but because she was very unwell. That doesn't mean I wouldn't react in the same way if she tried it again but it's very difficult to be understanding if you haven't been in that position yourself.

i just dyed my hair recently, if i go swimming tomorrow will the red turn green or a different colour?
It shouldn't do. The colour is usually only affected if it's bleached, like blonde. Red should be fine.

is it cheating when your husband fills out a profile on personals? and is it cheating when he coresponds to personals on craiglist?
If he's not cheating then he's definitely intending to.

My daughter is 13 and I'd like for her to start paying for her new clothes, accesories, and basically everything. Of course I would still pay for her food and keep a roof over her head. She doesn't have a job but she gets $5 a week for allowance. Do you think it's okay to make her start paying for stuff?
The columnists below me have already put it pretty well but I'll add my thoughts anyway.
Up until I was 16 my parents paid for pretty much everything. At 13 they gave me £25 a month (around $40) which was for me to spend on little things I wanted or to save. This eventually increased to £50 ($80). I have friends who were given much more but who were expected to pay for their clothes and some 'luxury' items and if I'm honest, it's those people who are better at budgeting now.
I got my first job at 16, earning around $500 a month and that's when my parents stopped paying for 'extras' - outings with friends, clothes I didn't need, most make up, expensive beauty products etc. They continued to pay for some clothes (for example if I needed a new pair of shoes, a coat etc), my phone bill and every day beauty items (such as shampoo and basic skin care products).
Personally, I think I had it pretty lucky and was probably somewhat spoilt. Starting university in September was a huge shock because I no longer had a job and have to live off around $300 a month - and that has to cover food, beauty, health, hygiene and sanitary products, clothes, going out and transport. It was difficult going from having $500 to spend on whatever I liked to having much less to live off. I'm not complaining about what I had but in some ways I do wish my parents had been tighter with money so I'd had the chance to develop better spending and budgeting habits.
Having said that, $20 a month isn't nearly enough to pay for everything and at 13 your daughter is very young to be given complete responsibility. I would suggest giving her a bigger monthly allowance and continuing to pay for necessities like skincare products and clothes. For now, her allowance could be for her to spend on things like going to the cinema with her friends, extra clothes and accessories or for her to save. As she gets older, you can start to raise this allowance and give her more financial responsibility.

What is the white goopy stuff that is called a discharge what is it made of?
Vaginal discharge is made up of fluids within your body with are expelled through the vagina, it mostly consists of mucus similar to that found in your nose, mouth, ears and eyes. It's the vagina's natural way of keeping itself clean and is completely normal. Females will usually start producing discharge a year or so before they have their first period and continue to have it until the menopause, when their periods stop.
Normal discharge varies between being thick and 'goopy' to thin and slightly sticky and should be a clear, white or off-white colour. Normal discharge will only have a slight odour and shouldn't cause any discomfort, itching or burning.
If your discharge changes colour, texture or has a strong odour then it could be a sign of a vaginal infection or STI and you should make an appointment with a doctor or gynecologist.
Some females choose to wear a pantyliner, which is like a small, thin sanitary towel as they feel more comfortable and dry but most don't.

why is anorexia bad for women
As an eating disorder, Anorexia is damaging both physically and mentally.
Complications include bone problems, low body temperature, irregular heartbeat, permanent failure of normal growth, loss of periods and the development of other conditions such as Bulimia and depression. Women with Anorexia are also at higher risk of miscarriage and premature birth, which can lead to medical problems for the baby.
According to this website (http://www.mamashealth.com/anorexia.asp) up to 10% of teenage girls in the United States suffering from Anorexia die as a result of complications, starvation or suicide.
Symptoms include refusing/not wanting to eat in public, anxiety, depression, brittle and spotty skin, shortness of breath, secrecy and obsessing over calorie intake. If you (or suspect someone you know) is suffering from Anorexia then you should seek immediate medical help.

is being bulimic bad?
Yes, not in the sense that it makes the sufferer a bad person but that it is hugely damaging to them - both mentally and physically - and those around them.
Bulimia can lead to a whole host of complications, including damage to the teeth caused by the repeated exposure to stomach acid, stomach ulcers, dehydration and heart problems (in extreme cases, heart attacks). As a mental illness it can be incredibly destructive, leading to depression and suicide.
According to this website (http://www.mamashealth.com/bulimia.asp), 10% of bulimics in the United States die as a result of the illness - from starvation, cardiac arrest, other medical complications or suicide.
Symptoms include eating uncontrollably, vomiting or using laxatives to lose weight, strict dieting/fasting, excessive exercise, depression, mood swings, dental problems, sore throat and blood shot eyes. If you (or suspect someone you know) is suffering from bulimia then you should seek immediate medical help.

18/M
A few hours ago i was talking to my girlfriend (Lets call her Torrie)
Well we were talking and she asked me if i wanted to take a break because i seem bored with our relationship and that i might need some "Room", but in reality i'm just busy. I mean yes i kind of am bored but the reason behind that is we never see eachother anymore, she's still in school and i have work. She is about to be done with school and things might change then but i still have fears i will be bored, but who wouldn't after a relationship lasting for over three years right?
But i was hoping to get some advice on whiles on this "Break" If i should pursue other woman?
But if i did i have a feeling i would feel guilty
and maybe fear she would see other guys. Or maybe she has ulterior motives? She knows that i'm not going to be in a relationship with someone that does drugs, maybe she thinks this is her chance to?
I don't know, i would love some advice on this... Thank you in advance for all of your help.
Those are all things you need to discuss with her if you do decide to take a break. It's really important that you set out boundaries and guidelines so that you both know where you stand.
Relationships take alot of time and effort. If you do decide to go on a break, it needs to be for the right reasons. Taking time out because you're bored may not be the best option. I know you're both busy but you need to make time for each other. Is there any way you can say something like 'right, we'll both keep Wednesday evenings free to spend time together'? Then try to use the time you have together more constructively. Do different things/go places etc.
If after you've given things a go and you're still feeling the same, then perhaps a break would be a good idea, in which case you will need to have the 'rules' conversation. No one wants to end up like Ross and Rachel.

I am an 18 year old female who is a virgin. If I give a guy oral sex am I still a virgin?
Personally, I considered myself a virgin until I had penetrative sex, as did the majority of my friends. If you ask someone when they lost their virginity, most people will tell you when they had sexual intercourse for the first time.
However, as those below have said, it's a grey area. All that should matter is whether or not you consider yourself to be a virgin or not.

Umm i obviously did look for it there but i cannot find it and in fact it is not my homework :)
Strangely enough, I found the answers pretty quickly using Google and the ever helpful Wikipedia. You'll have to forgive me for thinking it was your homework or some school related activity - it seemed logical given the format, style and subject of the questions coupled with the fact that you needed the answers quickly.
Oh, just as a side note: If you use the 1 rating you should always follow it up with an abuse report as a 1 is only given for abusive answers. The link is located under the 'Miscellaneous' heading on the left sidebar.

what do you think guys like more, bjs or handies? and when in a relationship would be the right time to do this?
This was summed up pretty well by a male friend of mine who said of the hand job 'why would we want you to do something we can do better ourselves?'
You'd be hard pushed to find a guy who'd say no to a blow job but then again, most of the time they should count themselves lucky they're getting anything at all.
Do it when you're both ready.

this site is typical right wing bunkum. people come to these sites for quick an relatively painless ways of committing suicide, not to be told "no, don't do it, u have so much to live for!!!!!!!!!!" Believe me, most of us have already thought through the alternatives, been to numerous councellors, tried antidepressants etc. these treatments just don't work for everyone. Just offer practical solutions for those who have made the moral right to choose to end their lives, or shut the hell up and stay off this forum!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm definitely not right wing. But then again, I'm a young Politics student so I'm not allowed to be.
Right wing or not, no one here is going to tell people how to kill themselves and if they do, they get banned and the answer deleted. We are an advice site, not a suicide how-to. I'm sure there are people on this website who believe it is ethical to help people end their lives but like it or not, suicide is illegal. This website doesn't support law breaking, whether that be underage sex, drug taking or murder and we don't tolerate people who encourage illegal behaviour.
Those who are considering suicide are almost always suffering from a mental illness, including depression. As a result, they are unlikely to be thinking straight and are desperate. It's immoral to take a very vulnerable person and give them tips on how to kill themselves. If someone wants to know how to do it, they can use Google. The fact is, most of the people posting the 'I want to kill myself' questions often just want support, kind words and to be told not to. If they were really, really that desperate to end their lives, they wouldn't bother posting a question on here and waiting for answers.
If you are looking for someone to give you a 'practical solution' on how to end your life then I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place. If you'd like some advice on what to do next and where to get help and further support for your depression then there are plenty of people on here who are willing to do so.

Okay i like this guy and we make out alot. i seem to turn him on just being there. But he wants to have sex and im not ready. If i tell him im not ready will that turn him off? And a blow job that seems too far. but i still want him to like me and i wanna make him feel good :)
If he goes off you because you don't want to have sex with him then he isn't the kind of guy you want to be having sex with.
Tell him you don't want to, if he doesn't drop the subject then drop him.

i have never wanted something more haha i sound ridiculous but PLEASE help me. i NEED the new iphone. i NEED it. but without an upgrade it costs like $700. yeah not happening. what are some easier ways i could get the phone? can i use someone elses upgrde? AAAHHHHHH PLEASE HELP ME
You don't NEED it.
You NEED food and water because if you didn't have them you would die. You will not die if you don't have the new iPhone.
Trust me, there are bigger problems in life than not having a new phone. Soon, another model will come out and I expect you'll NEED that too.
Talk to your phone company about the possibility of an upgrade. Often you can trade in your old phone and pay less a new one. Failing that, get a job and earn the money yourself.

can you tell me how to get my butt and boobs bigger withought getting fat???because ive been looking everywere and nothing works so can you help me??
Short of cosmetic surgery, there's nothing you can do. It's not possible to put weight on targeted areas of your body.

Well, I've been talking to this guy lately and we aren't dating yet but we both see it heading there. He has a best friend and she is a girl. They dated for like a week a while ago and then just became best buds. I have absolutely no problem with this at all because I have some really good guy friends too. So her and I have gym together. We have never really talked. Well, we are on the volleyball unit and we got on the same team. So I was wondering what I could maybe say to her to start a conversation to talk to her more.
Thanks.
Just say hi to her next time you have gym together and start a conversation about the class or something. She probably already knows who you are so just be friendly. Be careful though, you don't want to annoy or scare off this guy by palling up with his best friend.

I have stretch marks on my butt. I hate them cuz it looks so ugly. What can i do to make them go away?
btw im a teenage girl. age 15-17
Unfortunately stretch marks never go away completely. Over time they will fade so you can barely see them but they will always be there. To speed up the process, get yourself some Bio-Oil, which is formulated to fade scars and stretch marks and massage that on the affected area daily. Alternatively you can use a rich body lotion like cocoa butter.
Remember that stretch marks are really common and almost all women get them at some stage in their life.

20/F This Fall, I'll be going to a local University to work towards a Bachelor's Degree. I am going to live in a 4-person dorm and we each get our own rooms. I do not know the people I'll be living with. They will be chosen at random. Can you guys please provide me with your experience of living with roommates? Also, did you guys take the time to "get to know each other" or did it just kind of happen? This is my first time living away from home, so any input will help. Thanks!
I'm nearing the end of my first year of university and I share an apartment with four others - two guys and two other girls. We have our own rooms and en suite bathrooms and we share an open plan kitchen/living area.
I get on well with one of the girls and the other girl is fine too but I've had alot of issues with the guys. I have at least two friends who also don't get on with many of their flatmates - one of them doesn't really speak to any of them. I don't know anyone who gets on with ALL their flatmates and the likelihood is there will be someone in yours that at least gets on your nerves. You get thrown together with people and they probably won't be the kind of people you'd usually choose as friends. Sometimes that's a good thing but don't let it get to you if you're not all best friends. Most of the friends you make at university will be people on your course or in any sports clubs/societies you join. Having said that, I also know people who love their flatmates and are living with them again next year.
My flatmates and I tried to 'bond' in some part. We went out and bought a bin because our apartment didn't have one then we all decorated it and signed it. In my friend's apartment, they bought a big canvas and all took turns drawing each other then hung it on the wall. Things like that are nice as they break the ice and you have something in your apartment that you've made together. With the girl I get on well with though, we just kind of clicked.
Next year I'm moving into a house with one other girl and two guys, none of whom I am living with now. I'm looking forward to it because it'll be nice to live with people I know I get on with and who are more 'my kind of people'. Just remember that you will only have to live with these people for a year and if you really don't get on with them, it's not forever. If they turn out to be horrible and there are serious issues, you can request to be moved - something I was seriously considering at the beginning as one of the guys in my flat is so unpleasant.
Also bear in mind that this is a really important life experience. There are always going to be people - whether that be at work, within your family or on your course - who you don't like and learning to put up with them is a really important skill to gain. It's also a good opportunity to socialise with people you wouldn't necessarily choose to spend time with. I would never have met the flatmate I get on with in any other circumstances as we're quite different and would move in different circles but I've made a good friend in her.
Go in with a positive attitude and an open mind and don't beat yourself up if they don't turn out to be lifelong friends.
