"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love" - Albus DumbledoreHi, I'm Laura. I'm a senior in college & I'm slowly deciding what I want to do with my life. I love Harry Potter, coffee, writing, and sleeping (amongst other things). I'll never claim to know everything, but I'm confident in my ability to help people with their problems. Feel free to send me an inbox question; I'll get back to you!
A few thoughts I've gathered from my teenage years (and being on this site for most of them!):
1. If you Google song lyrics, the song will come up 99% of the time.
2. Dress to fit your body type, and buy the size that fits. If you're a size 6, squeezing into a 4 won't make you look skinnier. It makes you look fat when you aren't.
3. You will never regret waiting to lose your virginity.
4. There is such a thing as a stupid question, but we're all allowed to ask them.

^my forum, liven it up a little?
advice
Hi, okay so like 19 days ago I started my birth control.. Its called ortho tri-cyclen lo if that helps any.
Anyways so my last period was on July 19th so as you can see im late.
But I havent had unprotected sex or anything and the thingie says I will be protected the first day I take it if its a day one and 7 days if its a sunday start.
So theres like no possible way im pregnant. I know im not. [hopefully] but why am I so late? Is it because of my birth control?
&& I feel like im getting my period soon but ive also felt like this for a few days..
Any answers?
Please and thank you.
The first couple months you'll be irregular. You won't get your period like you used to, you'll get it when you start taking the inactive pills [sometimes not for a few days]. Or, you might not have a period at all the first month or two.
EDIT: It's okay to use tampons once you start your period. It's not a great idea to use them before or after, a thin pad is a better alternative.
(Rating: 5) you said not for a couple days.. well in 2 days is when I start taking the inactive ones... and I tomorrow im going to the mall of america and then on sunday im going to valleyfair and I REALLY DONT WANT MY PERIOD TO COME DURING THEN. so you think i'll get it then? and do you think I could just use a tampon even if i dont get it. cuz ive used tampons before when it was last the last day and I had no blood and I was fine think it would be okay? Sorry. Thanks in advance..
