thats normal because it probably not up far enough. make sure its in you all the way till you cant feel it. the first few times that could be hard and sometimes the do hurt you just have to keep using it and you will be better with it. make sure you read the directions and understand the pictures

I'm 17 years old and a junior in highschool. I recently went for a physical and realized that I weigh 95 pounds. I'm 5'8", and the doctor said that I was way underweight. She said that I may be coming anorexic, however this is the first time that that issue has ever come up. I eat EVERYTHING, and the reason I weigh that much is I play four sports, and I'm constantly doing something. What should I do to get everyone to stop worrying about me? And what should I do about my weight? (link)
| |
well the doctor is probably concerned about your weight because if your body does not have enough body fat it tells itself it cant make babies. that is why girls naturally have more body fat than boys. because were supose to. shes probably worried that your hormones may try to shut down and make it so you cant have babies. (sometimes this can make you gain major weight.. its sorta like going into menapause) And maybe she just doesnt see alot of muscle mass on you. maybe she is afraid you are struggeling with anerexia nervosa which is very damaging to your entire body. so maybe try to fix them both? figure out about how many calories you eat every day. in fat carbs and protein. you probably should be eating 1500-1800 calories a day, mainly in carbs and protein. but dont forget to get some healthy fats in there like nuts and fish. eating enough carbs helps your body because carbs are very easy for your body to burn, so it can store the protein for when your working your body hard playing sports, and the healthy fats and likley to add a little bit of body fat. this may take awhile. it can be very hard to gain weight for some people, because you play sports your metabalism is probably very fast. if you are very concerned go back to your doctor and ask about meal planning for you to gain weight. either she will do it herself or she will refer you to a doctor or dietitian that knows more about it. Hopfully people will stop worrying about you and let you play your sports. i hope this helps if you have any more questions please message me back.

im 14 and ive never used a tampon. i dont understand why i cant do it. since like i cant get in into my vagina. like it hurts so badly and it like doesnt fit? and i can never find it. i can always read the directions. but it still doesnt help me. ahh help =( (link)
| |
well your hymen might be strong.. so it is not breaking or streching enough to let the tampon in. but before you assume this try using water aroudnt he applicator of the tampon. try the smallest tampon you can buy. if water does not work doctors advise using water based lube. using lotion can give you an infection. and honestly even for me iv been using them for like 5 years and sometimes it still hruts or i get resistance when putting it in. go slow and try to relax. if it does not work after trying this you may want to see your doctor if you still would like to use tampons. They will do a simple procedure IF NESSESARY.. cutting the hymen so it stretches without causing you pain. it is simple and doesnt hurt. i hope this explains enough. good luck.

Hey im 17/f and i went to the doctors for birth control and recommended Yaz. I got it and i wanted to know a little bit more about it. If you're on it what are the good effects and bad effects of it? Can you please just tell me a little bit more about it. Thanks a bunch! (link)
| |
first month for me was so dizzy and light headed i would have to stop walking and sit down constantly. (no im not out of shape)cramps were terrible, it made me sick if i forgot a pill. now 7 months later, still dizy, still light headed, doesnt help with bloating, i still get sick before my perios, my cramps are worse, my periods saty 10-14 days long. (my first period on the pill was like 18 days). i had perfect periods before i started it, they were just very irragular. i would go months without them. i wish i was not on it. i hate it. i have been on three other kinds of birth control and they worked better for me than yaz. but its low dosage so the side effects are lower.. if i did not need to take it i wouldnt. but hopefully it will work for you!

Im only 18. I have a full time job, but i still live with my parents. My fiance is going to college next year and im not sure what im going to do. I want to get married and have a baby. We both want them. I want to get married because it feels normal although we both understand that we need to have money, and a house, and good jobs i feel so ready it feels right. I already started thinking about baby names with him and we are completely ready. I know that we could take care of a baby if we had to but at the same time he wants to wait. I understand the consquences but its just i dont want to wait but then again i do. What should i do? Is this normal? (link)
| |
actually.. it is normal. forevery person it comes at differnt times. i had posted pretty much the same question a while ago on here and people told me to be an adult and control my urgers. but im going to say is stay away from that talk, the tv shows, and going in and looking at the new baby stuff or reading up on baby health websites and stuff.. because you both know how bad you want one.. and putting it out of your mind while your busy shouldnt kill the drive to want the family or to buy a house is this terrible economy. actually yesterday i was reading an artcile about development. *apperently* your frontal lobe (part of your brain, does allthe processing, critical thinking ect) is not done being formed till your 25. that is why some people say dont marry till 25 or have babies till 25 (they say your not fully mature...). and although i have a wounderful boyfriend, and a great career already, i too still live with my dad and have more years of school to take on. so i try to put it out of my mind so i dont try to rush it. it seemed like the more my boyfriend was accepting to it and would bring it up himself, the more i wanted it. so we kinda had to stop talking about it so we did not feed off of eachother. i say to try that... it has worked pretty good for me. pregnantless and baby less!

alot of people ask how they can lose weight but i wanna know how i can GAIN weight. im 17 years old and i weigh 98 pounds and i have a small frame. i used weight gain pills and those didnt seem to work. and i would like to gain atleast 10 pounds. any help wold work (link)
| |
well if your metabalism is fast then your going to have to eat more calories. these calories should be made up of healthy carbs (like wheat, toast, oats, rice, ect.. the less processes the carbs have gone through the easier it is for your body to burn them) so your body will burn carbs while storing healthy fats and protein (muscles). make sure your taking iron pills. eat fish, chicken, beans, beef, ect. these should nto be fried bec ause all hough it may have mroe fat and calories it is bad for your heart and will not get you any healthier. try doing light weights too to gain muscle. hopefully in a few weeks youll see imporvment. it c an be a long road to gaining weight but that should work. consult your doctor too if your on any mediations

I'm on birth control, Yaz, and when I start taking the white pills I start my period, and it ends 1-2 days after the first pink pill.
Well, I'm going to Europe soon, and I will be getting my period because I'll be on the white pills right in the middle of our vacation. Will it be safe to start a new packet as soon as I finished with the pink pills of the previous packet? Just skip the white pills and start a new packet the next day?
Oh, and I'm not sexually active I'm on the pill to regulate my periods.
(link)
| |
i would not suggest you do that. other birth control pills are speicaly made for less periods. so dont skip your period. if your going to do it anyway atleast do it this way... dont take the last 5 (or how ever many days your period lasts) PINK PILLS... and then start on the white pills. and start the new cycle. dont skip your period.. your period might be lighter this time or shorter, but its better than going without. But honestly.. its not a good thing to do.. but hey good luck.

Recently I think I had a miscarrage. If I had the bleeding from one saturday until yesturday and now its like almost completely gone and I had to get blood work done and my doctors wanted to make sure I wasn't pregnant, so I had to pee in the cup...since it was so recent would it show up that I was pregnant--if I did have a miscarrage? I need to know what to except especially from my mom! (shell be the first to know because they will call and tell her.)
thanks in advance. (link)
| |
it shouldnt show up if you are nto prgenant anymore. and btw...... after 13 they are nto supose to give lab results like that to parents after your 13. if they do yo need to remind them of the HIPAA laws... sooo anyways the results shoudl be accurate...

For the past couple of days I have not been able to use the bathroom because of this intense pain I get in my anus. I know I should probably go see a doctor, but this is just really embarrassing. I've been looking online to see what it could be, and I am pretty sure it is an anal fissure. I just want to know if theres anyone who has had an anal fissure before? And what did you do to help it heal? And how can I make it easier for me to use the bathroom?
Thank you... (link)

okay iv never had one... but i was doing a job shadow (im trying to become a nurse...) and one of our patients had one. he went to the doctor.. try tried to remove it.. which inhis case.. didnt work that awesome. it closed up but it was still there.. so he went in for a second surgery to put a band around it. but he was on ALOT of pain killers. and anti biotics.. he told me that was the only way he could go after awhile.. so seirously if you think thats what it is theres no reason to get emberassed because doctors deal with stuff like that all the time.. and if you dont go it can get alot worse.. so anyways im sorry this sint the answer you wanted cause iv never had one.. but i figured since you havent had any responses yet that id atleast say this. anyways good luck and i hope someone can give you mroe advice. take care.

I'm 16, soon to be 17 in june, and I don't like tampons. Im scared that I'll get that TSS, and everytime I tried to wear one, it still bleed onto my panties, and i hate the feeling when taking them out. Is it normal or weird to like pads over tampons at my age? (link)
| |
honestly everyone btu one girl i know wears tampons. but that does nto make it weird.. or normal. or bad or good. do what you want. the reason peopel wear them is that it works better for them for different reasons. so its okay that you dont use them. do what you want and feel best using!

ok so i got my very first period in february
and im on my third period cycle right now, well i've had it for 4 or 5 days
well the first 2 times i got my period and it lasted for 10 days
so i just assumed that the cycle im on now would last for 10 days but today i woke and i had very little blood even though i slept gor 10 hours.
and there was no blood in the toilet and when i wiped it was brown sorta like discharge.
so am i getting off of it early?
[sry for the the details, but please help] (link)
| |
usually yes that means that your going to stop your period but sometimes when you first start it can be heavy and then really light like your going to stop then just kinda start up again. so you might be stopping, but you should watch what YOUR body does.

Is dry-humping bad if you have a tampon in? Like, if he went a little bit in me kinda but with shorts and stuff on is that not good if you have a tampon in? (link)
| |
theres really nothing that could happen. he cant actually penitrate you, just putting preasure because he still has his shorts on wont do anything bad to you.
|
i didn't know what to put this under, but as we all know prom is coming up. ours is in the first week of may and my boyfriend and i are going - both juniors.
the only problem is that i have embarassing acne on my back. nobody knows about it because i've never had it before like during summer when i wore tank tops and not like.. shirts and sweaters. it just started showing up and i dont know what to do.
i want to get a really pretty dress and it will most likely make my back show.
help? (link)
| |
very formal dresses usual have shals you can wear. or if you have long hair you could gett i done so it looks very pretty down so it helps hide it. you can also get one that hides it as much as possile... try to go to a dress shop that someone picks out dresses for you. they will help you find the perfect one either there or somewhere else. so i say try all of those things. have fun!

i'll get right to the point. i want to lose the fat. i'm strong [for a girl] and have abs just its under some fat. and guys take createan to bulk up so isn't there something like createan that i can take. but i don't want it to work like a steroid giving me acne, vomiting, or anything. is there something i can take that won't hurt me, that i can buy to help burn fat or anything? (link)
| |
honestly those fat burning pills, diet pills, hunger loss, ect pills dont work. if you wanan go out fo your way and buy some protein shake that tastes horrible and coast lots of money, and then work your butt off.. you can do that. or you can jsut eat low fat protein (eggs chicken stuff liek that). the problem with diet pills is they mess with your metabilism. they can mess with your thyroid which can make you not be able to gain weight or loose weight. before you want to take any kind of pill to help you burn fat and gain muscle you need to talk to talk to your doctor. i feel the best way if just to do cardio. either way if you read the package with the pills it will tell you exersice is adviced... thats how you will get any kind of results. anyways i hope this helps. sorry it was kinda long. but good luck

Okay this is embarassing for me but whatever.

I went to the gynocologist[sp] for the 2nd time in my life today. And I was given more birth control, had blood taken--no stds for me! and I had the body exam or whatever they call it.
Well, My left breast has hurt this bad only twice, always around the time of my peroid but last time, there was no discharge, but I can't be sure because the discharge only comes out if pressure is added to certain parts of my breast.
So Facts:
*major pain on left breast, not so much the right.
*discharge that is milky colored and watery comes out ONLY when pressure/squeezing of the breast.
*around the time of my peroid
*I haven't had kids so I don't think it's breast milk.
Any one know what it could be, like any ideas of what you think?
And do you think I need to get it checked out asap?
Thanks so much in advance. (link)
| |
YES YOU NEED TO GET IT CHECKED ASAP! none of us can or will diagnosis you over this. there are MANY MANY MANYYYY things that come with nipple discharge. soemtimes its as simple as hormones not balanced well... dont be emmberassed get it checked out!
|
I haven't gotten my period since like maybe around October? And I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and know what's wrong. I'm already scheduled for a doctor's appointment on Friday about it but I was just wondering if it's anything serious or something.
14/F (link)

dont worry too much. they will probably do a blood pannel on you. check all your hormones. ask them about PCOS... or they might mention it. its polycystic ovary syndrome. this missing a period for so long might be a one time thing.. maybe not. most likley they will put you on some progestern pills for 10 days and hopefully in about two weeks you will have your period! anyways good luck and dont worry too much make sure you ask lots of questions even if you think they might sound dumb.
|
|
well ok im 16 and i dont know how to ask this question without sounding absurd. i hope it doesnt sound stupid but...like most teens i go to bed late. cant rly help it and i cant change (trust me ive tried). because i get up early i am always tired. so my question is if anyone knows of someway to have more energy during the day besides of course going to beed early or consuming coffe, sugar, or energy drinks. hope this isnt a stupid question... =] (link)
| |
alot of things like magnesium, zinc, iron.. i coudl list tons more if they are too low iny ur body your going to feel fatiged. your gonna be tired fast even if you slept good. start taking a vitamin and go with your doctor if you have health insurance and if you bring this up they might to a blood pannel on you. im sure they will fix it if the vitamins dont

okay this may be really gross but i dont know what it is.
ok so you know like when you have a cold and you blow your nose and sometimes the snot is clear, well for the last week i have been farting a lot and my stomach has been really hurting cuz i would have to go the bathroom and... [#2] well today i wiped my but and it looked like clear snot all gooey and stuff but there wasnt poop marks. or anything well one of my #2 pieces were floating at the top of the toilet water and it was the size of a prune and it look like a raisen.
im scared and i dont know what it is also everytime i wipe sence i've been pooping a lot my anus has been really sore.
p.s. i have only gotten my period once and that was on jan. 31 and i havn't gotten it again.
please help me (link)
| |
okay what it porbably is is discharge from your vagina. when you ovulate (eggs drop for your next period) the discharge tends to be like a loogie or snot. i doubt that it was anything from your butt... if it happens even while on your period then its anal discharge and that might just be eatign too much fake sugar (spleda, sweet and low). i really hope this helps
