Hi Everyone. I'm Alli. ♥

So after a 3 year break. I'm back and ready to answer any of your questions you may have. I hope to help anyone & everyone as best as I can. Have a good day!

:)

19/F...

Okay, I am a week and 5 days late of my period.
6 days after my period was late, I took a pregnancy test, it came back postive. I was told it was better to take it first thing in the morning. I've been stressing about it really bad. My period is never late, and it has a good amount of flow.

Thursday, i noticed a little blood; it was really light and not alot. I took a pregnancy test Saturday night & Sunday morning and they both came back negative.

Just curious what this means?

I plan on going to the doctor Tuesday to get a blood test done just to put this whole thing at rest; but 3 pregnancy test, all negative, and NO pregnancy symptons, what is up with my period? Better yet, what is up with me?

Periods can be late or irregular for many reasons, it doesn't always mean that you are pregnant, but that's definitely one of the possibilities.

Here's some reasons why your period might be late or you are spotting.

1. Stress
2. Illness
3. Change in schedules
4. Change in medications
5. Excessive weight gain/loss
6. Miscalculation of your last period

The only way you can really know if you're pregnant is to set up an appointment with your doctor. Good luck with everything!

So my boyfriend and I were hooking up the other night and we were getting really into it and I was pretty turned on and he went to start fingering me, which I wanted him to do, but he kinda just stuck his hand down there and went to town. Like ALL OVER town. I think he actually got lost in town...anyway it so did not feel good and I was totally turned off right away. I tried moving his hand where I wanted and stuff but he wasn't moving it with me. I'm not sure if he didn't know what I was trying to do or what, but either way it didn't work. Eventually (not that long after) I just pulled his hand out. How do I help him get better without hurting his feelings?

Your best bet would to just tell him what you like and what really turns you on the most! I'm sure he would listen to you right away, because if it feels good for you, that really turns guys on and they enjoy it! And if you want to get really kinky, watch some x-rated movies together.. so he can see what to do the right way and then you can say, "that would be really hot if you did that to me like what they just did in the movie." ;)

Ok, I already got all his other presents, and I'm trying to figure out some stock stuffers! He's 18; and he doesn't like any type of candy.

I already got him a shaving kit, and a cologne kit, so I can't stick those in there, becauase they are already wrapped up.

I'm just in a tough spot. I am clueless.
I got him a toothbrush, 3 lottery tickets, and some gloves since he works outside, but I need a few more ideas.

ANYTHING WOULD BE HELPFULL!

Thanks!

How about a gift card from your boyfriend's favorite store/restaurant? They are very compact, and would probably really surprise him! Car fresheners (for his car if he drives) or a key lanyard for his keys! Even a new wallet! Hope I helped! :)

Hey. I'm just an ordinary girl at college, and well I have a lot on my mind. My roommate is never around and we don't get along really well. I have a lot on my mind regarding life, love, and struggles that I'm going through. The one thing I really want is just someone to really talk to about these things. I do consider myself social :) but none of my friends really help me out, or I just kinda feel like a burden to them and guilty for always coming to them for help. I guess I'm just asking for advice on how to find someone that I can talk to about personal things and not feel ashamed? Oh and I don't have a lot of money so I can't get a counselor or anything. Plus I think that would be awkward.

Sometimes I can really relate to what you're going though. I do have a lot of friends but I noticed as I got older, they didn't have as much time for me as they used to, especially for advice. I'm not sure what social groups are like at your college, but you could definitely join one and make friends there. Never feel ashamed about asking for advice or talking about personal things, because almost always, people are going through the same things you are! Also, I don't know what you're relationship is like with your parents but I've always found that my Mom is a great person to talk to and get advice from when there is no one else. :)

Normally I'm not a country music fan. But I heard a song and was so shocked that the lyrics were exactly how I was feeling! I'm starting to like country more and more.. But I'm not familiar with country songs or artists. Can a few people recommend songs or artists for me?

I'm mainly looking for songs about love (moving on, finding someone new, or waiting for someone) or about happy things like doing the things that make you smile or just partying and having a blast. But I'm up for anything really :) thanks!!!

I'm also not a huge fan of country music. But there are some great songs out there that I really like.

You should try out these:
Billy Currington - People are crazy
Jason Aldean- She's Country (AWESOME song)
Jason Aldean- Hick Town
Trace Adkins- Ladies Love Country Boys
Trace Adkins- Honky Tonk
and this one will put you in a good mood no matter what,
Rodney Adkins- If You're Going Through Hell

i have had a really bad love past. my first boy friend i dated 15 times, he cheated in me 3 of those times with more then one girl. My 2 boyfriend is just a sex feind he was exactly interested- i was the one that escaped his trap (didnt have sex with him) my 3rd broke up with me over some fake crap. and anyone else i've been interested in simply didn't want me or used my attraction for their own benefit.
i just started dating my newest boyfriend and he is thgee purest bf i've ever had....
he says he loves me but ive heard that so many times that i cant believe anything any guy says anymore.
is this normal???

Yes, It's very normal that you have a hard time trusting boyfriends because you've been cheated on and mistreated in the past. But you need to try and forget those times and take this new relationship as slow as you can, don't rush into anything. Let your new boyfriend know of problems you have dealt with in the past so he knows what you're looking for out of this relationship; trust and compassion. If you don't really believe that him saying "I love you" is for real, don't say it back. Wait and see where your relationship goes and give it time so you both can really mean it. Good luck with everything.

I'd recommend a Marykay Deep Cleanser, Marykay products work fabulously. Here's a link: http://www.marykay.com/skincare/classicbasicskincare/10105900/default.aspx

I'd also recommened to minimize your pores, Clinique pore minimizer, it works wonders:

i actually dont know exactly what size i am in for bras. and i have push up bras that pretty much don't push up my breasts. it acts like just a padded bra, am i in a size too big or too small?

you're in a size too big. wherever you're buying your bra's at, they always have sizing that you can have done, depending on where you go. victoria's secret has it, jcpennies, ect.

i use firefox and almost every time that i go to a webpage it will show this

i also have wireless internet

is there anything i can do to lessen the occurrence of this page coming up?

i see that in the bottom of your tool bar, there's a internet signal with a red cross through it. this means you're not connected to the internet. it's not Mozilla, it's your internet.

make sure every thing's okay with your internet connection, once it's all set up and working properly, you should never see that on Mozilla again.

And if you're having problems with your internet, contact your internet provider and they'll help you asap.

Tickets are not that expensive.
And they have directions for your city on the site if needed.

I went last year in Ohio and it was a blast.
I had the time of my life.
My opinion on it is it's a great experience, so I say go (:

So I really want to have a black and white picture, and then change the color of my eye's or like a ribbon in my hair. How do I do this? And what program can I download[must be free]? Thanks!

i did that once with picasa.

I'm getting my nose pierced next year or so. I'm just wondering.. how much it hurts. Like.. what does it feel like.. compare it to something? I don't really like needles, but I've always loved that damn piercing :/ I want a tiny hole/stud. So will the needle be huge anyway? Can I ask for a certain size? Do they numb it first or something? I've heard that some places do that or maybe I heard wrong.

Experiences? :]

I got mine done last year.

It feels like a burning pinch. It hurts for the first minute, and after it's fine. It'll be red for a day or two. They'll give you a starter stud, and as it heals you can always change it to whatever you want. The starter stud is pretty small, if you have extra money you can ask for anyone you want. But the starter stud is a really good price and it's perfect for your first nose piercing and/or caring for the piercing. The needle is really not that big. I didn't get my nose numbed, nope, i got it done professionally too. All she did was clean it and what not and she went right through.

It was fine in my opinion (:
Have fun.

I have a computer but I also would like a lap top to bring my relatives houses. My parents say that there is no need to get one if you all ready have a computer, but I go to my aunts house a lot and my cuz has a lap Top but of course he won't let me use it. So do you think I should get a Lap Top or not. And if my parents say yes what kind of brand should I get?

If you have the money and the permission, sure why not. Their very convenient and such. I'd recommend dell laptops, I've been using dell computers forever and I think their very good and have great performance and stability.

Here's a link that should give you some ideas:

i was wondering, can you track people through myspace or instant messaging? like pedophiles? or is their software or something you can buy to do it? or just track the computer? if possible, how much money does it cost to buy the software to do so? i was just wondering because my friend said that people can track where you are and stuff like that but i don't believe her.

no, you cannot track anyone through myspace, it's against the rules. if you've tried, it's most likely a virus of some sort, so don't do it.

as for instant messaging, i'm sure you can. but i'm not sure what it's called, but heres a link that says how you can see who's viewed your AIM profile.

Anyone who has BearShare:

Do you recommend this program?

I only recommend it if it's the purchased program. If you use the free BearShare download, I can guarantee you'll get viruses and spyware. I learned from experience on my old computer.

As long as you buy it, you're fine.

I got my first piercings done when I was a few months old. When I was a preteen, I found out I was allergic to nickel earrings. Just like my mom :/ About 3 years ago, I got 6 more piercings. None got infected, I always cleaned them and it was fine. I decided to change the earrings because they were huge diamonds and hoops and I just wanted tiny studs. I also bought pretty earrings to wear and for the longest time it didn't bother me.. until last summer when my ears would get so itchy.

Well my right ear suffered because I had long nails and pretty much scratched it to death to the point where it was bleeding.. I had more piercings on that ear than my left because someone ripped out the middle piercing in my left ear all the way down.

So i kept scratching the right ear, reopening it and it healed once.. but i reopened it after putting an earring in it for a few hours [so the hole wouldn't close]. My ear started to get a rash. The whole time.. I put some lotion on it to dry it out and it works now. Is it bad that it took nearly a year to heal?

Also why are my bottom piercings itchy but not so much my cartilage? And where can I buy non-allergenic earrings? pretty ones and studs? my mom keeps buying me hoops and those are a pain to close.

My holes are closing so I'm planning to get them repierced.

When you get your ears pierced, they normally tell you which earrings won't infect your ears and which will. You're probably buying and wearing cheap earrings. I'd recommend sterling silver, I never tried cheap earrings ever, but about all of the sterling silver rings are all non-allergenic. You can just go where you got your ears pierced, and i'm sure they'll have them on sale there at a cheaper price. Or just go to the mall and look for a jewelry store if you're not so worried about money. Oh, and probably all the sterling silver earrings are all cute, i swear :]

As for cleaning and care goes, I'd really recommend taking a break on changing them often, it can cause irritation. Clean them well, i'm sure you have before, but the more they stay bacteria free, the better chance you have that they won't get infected.

Good luck. :]

how do you block your friends list on myspace?????????

and copy the code to 'hide your friends' into your who i'd like to meet & you're good to go.

i have been dating this guy for over a year & i love him alot and don't want to be with any guy besides him. but, i look at other guys - i talk to them, flirt, etc... and i think it would be fun to kiss one of them, hook up with one of them.. but i don't want to be with them, i just want to be with my boyfriend. i want to be like, a slut for a day, but not a slut.. but i still want my boyfriend.

what should i do?

If you don't want to be with any guy besides him, i highly doubt that cheating on him would be the best thing to do. It's always okay to look at other guys and flirt, but hooking up or kissing another guy is simply out of the question -- It's called cheating.

If you want to be in a serious relationship then your best objective would be to never cheat on this guy, because all that will do is lead to a break up and breaking some guys heart just because of some bad mistakes.

Good Luck.

so i`ve been dating my boyfriend since july 4th of last year, so it`s almost 1 year.
i love him alot, but we fight ALOT. is that normal? we fight over stupid things and both get pissed off super easy, and it really makes me so mad sometimes. i don`t know how much of the fighting i can take, but i don`t want to break up with him. i`ve talked to hima bout it, but he thinks we`re fine. he knows i hate it, but neither of us can help getting mad.

what should i do?

It's definitely normal to fight and butt heads sometimes. But if it's an unhealthy relationship and it's constant fighting where you can't stand each other, then I'd say end it.

On the other hand, if you two just don't see eye to eye sometimes but you two both love each other, it could just be a rocky time for you guys. I'd say wait and see if you guys can grow out of it instead of jumping and making a big decision.

I'm sure if you take some time and try to go along and try your best not to argue as much as possible, everything will work out as it should.
