about

I'm a mom of 3 kids in a long term relationship. I like to think I'm fairly smart(IQ 131), but I definitely don't know everything. I work a regular job, finished high school, but dropped out of my first year of college. I'm not religious, but I think of myself as pretty spiritual. I'm always watching and reading new things that interest me, because I love to learn new things. I guess you can really ask me anything, I love to give advice. I'm sure the people that will benefit best from my advice are other people like me, but don't take my word on it ;)

advice

can you get pregnant by getting fingered even when he touched his penis ? 14/female me and my boyfriend wanted to have sex but he didnt have a condom so i said no bt he still pulled out his penis bt we didnt do anything with it i jus felt it and stuff like that bt he fingered me could i still get pregant even if he touched his penis then started fingering me ?

First off, don't feel pressured to have sex. 14 is way too young to have sex. From this question, it is obvious you need to learn a lot more about sex in general before you even decide to have sex. Always use a condom when you have sex. When men are turned on their penis usually leaks some precum which does contain some amounts of sperm. If you aren't touching any precum, and it's just skin, there is no way to get pregnant. The internet has a wealth of knowledge available 24/7. There are many sites with information about sex, stds, etc.

are they actually called marine life vets, or do they have another name? Also, how much money do they make a year?

Marine Veterinary Medicine is also called Aquatic Animal Medicine. Starting out you would make around $50,000/yr. But some of the highest paid marine vets earn close to $150,000/yr.

On my sim3 i dont have any expansion packs or anything just the main game and it still refuses to work. i try it everyday hoping its gonna work and it doesn't. it keeps saying please enter disc and try again.

I would try uninstalling the game, and reinstalling it. Something may not have installed properly. Another reason it might not run, is if your computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements to run the game.

Since yesterday after my dinner, I've been having sharp pains going up my spine, followed by more pain in my stomach, giving me breathing problems. Last night, the pain was so bad that every time I did move, it woke me up immediately and I was cringing. I also had difficulty using the bathroom. I was given stool softener to see if it would help, but it hasn't. I can't tell when I have to use the bathroom either because of the pain and I was just able to urinate a couple hours ago for the first time since yesterday without there being pain. I have no idea what's going on. All I ate yesterday was two regular coffees, a simple sandwich at Jimmy John's, a Southern Style and BigMac with fries at McDonalds. Today all I was able to eat was carrots and strawberries before I got sick to my stomach even more. My stomach is also making weird noises constantly. I don't know if helps, but I've also been having an irregular period, lots of spotting, and very heavy for eight days when I actually do have it.
The pain is getting so bad that I'm limping and having problems getting comfortable as every position makes me feel like my lungs are crushed, my stomach gets even more upset, and my bladder area. Any ideas of what's going on?

Okay, I have a condition in my spine, that usually effects and shows up in your teens. It's called spondylothesis. It's where a vertabrae slips forward and puts pressure on your spinal cord. When nerves are pinched, all kinds of things can happen, including everything on your list. It could be a lot of things, but this is just a suggestion. Look up some info on it, and also tell your mother that you need to go in. You shouldn't wait, what if it is something life threatning. As a parent, your Mom needs to wake up and take care of you.

My husband and I are trying to concieve. I was 5 days late for my period this month making me start March 4th. Immediately after it ended on the 8th, we began trying the 9th(it was over and completely dry) on the 10th I started to noticed what felt like ovulation pains and extremely fertle looking cervical fluid. We have been trying every day and on March 15th (12 days into my cycle) I notice some very light spotting. Mostly pink and brown streaks through my fluid when wipeing only. It was only durring that day. Now on the 18th I'm extremely tired and still a but crampy and very emotional. My cervix is high though but I don't see any cervical fluid that looks fertlie. mostly milky, sticky and a bit crumbly combined. Because I was so late for my period could I have ovulated early? What's up with my cervix and why am I feeling run down and crampy? Ugh. I am on a herble harmone balancer but have taken it in the past and never had anything out of the ordinary happen. I know it's alot but any ideas?

Or you could be pregnant! Some women still get some period like bleeding in the beginning of pregnancy. I had spotting at the beginning of my first pregnancy. I also had some cramping, and you get tired and just feel crappy. If you haven't taken a pregnancy test, take one! I really hope you get that positive you are looking for, good luck!!!

i got my ears pierced again on december 22, 2010. they're both right above my ear lobe piercing. i cleaned them everyday for 4 weeks after getting them and they seemed healed so i started to clean them maybe once a week. i change the earrings from small gold plated dimonds to silver ball studs covered in surgical steel from piercing pagoda. sometimes they bleed which i just attribute to sleeping on them and they get sore and what not. last night i was touching my right one and it was abnormally sore. i woke up this morning to clean them and i took the back off the right one and a big glob of puss came out. usually for both ears its a light yellowish color. today the puss from the right ear was a little bit darker but not much. im almost out of the ear care i got from pagoda so im starting to use Band-Aid brand hurt free antiseptic wash. it has the same ingredient as the ear care solution but also has Lidocain Hydrocloride in it. im wondering if my piercings are infected? the swelling is gone from my ear now and its just a little sore. the other one feels okay. if it is infected whats the best way to heal them without having to go to the doctor?

You need to go and get some better earrings. It is most likely a reaction to the metal. I can't wear surgical steel earrings, my ears are too sensitive. Buy some gold plated earrings, or real silver earrings. Keep cleaning them multiple times a day, and I would suggest sleeping without earrings to prevent any trauma to your ears. You can keep the earrings in while it heals, it will just take a while. Take the earring out and soak them in some of the cleaning solution while you clean your piercings to kill any infection/bacteria on the earrings.

february 26,2011 is the first day of my last period.
then me and my bf have sex last march 11,12ang 13 do i have any chance to get pregnant? pls. answer my question.

You are never fertile 100% of your cycle. If your cycle is regular and monthly, than those days would be in the time period that you could conceive. In a 28 day cycle, ovulation would occur around day 14. Conception is possible, 5 days before ovulation, to 2 days after. Sperm can also live in the body for up to 3 days. Hope that helps you out.

Ok, a couple weeks ago I had light brown spotting for two or three days. I had no pms symptoms. Now I am waking up in the morning with period like cramps but no bleeding, kind of nauseated and sore breasts. I also feel like I could take a nap by noon. (i get roughly 8-10 hours of sleep a night) I do have a cyst on my ovary. Could I be Pregnant? I took two tests and both were negative but i may have taken them too early. I am also five days late.

Usually by the time you would be getting your period, a test would show positive. I would go see your doctor to confirm either way. If you aren't pregnant, then the doctor could check you out to make sure nothing else is going on.

I have my first yeast infection, and i bought Monistat 7. i was wondering if it made the itching and burning worse for anyone else besides me?

It should not make it worse. More than likely you do not have a yeast infection, and should see your doctor immediately. You should always go to the doctor, if you have never had a yeast infection before. Multiple vaginal infections can look like a yeast-like infection. I've had multiple yeast infections, especially when I was pregnant. I wouldn't say they really itch, tho some people say they have itching, it's more the skin is red and irritated. Feels raw and sore, and you usually get a white discharge that has no smell.

My Sim3 has been acting up lately. every time i go to play it, it tells me to enter disc and try again.i do have the disc in and my disc reader in my computer is fine.. does anyone know whats going on or how to help my situation?

I have this game, and I'll ask a few things. Do you have any expansion packs? The way sims works is; whichever disk you installed last, you use that disk to run the game. Are you using the main game disk only? That should work, only if you have the main sims 3 game, and no expansions. Hopefully that will help you out. If that is not the problem, then you need to post more info so we can solve the issue.

my hair is long past my eyebrows to keep it down I just a wear a beenie but I'm thinking I should straighten it but what I'm wondering is if thats a good look for a guy?

Straighten it? Guys with curly/wavy hair are hot! Put some gel or something in there when it's wet and let it air dry. And skip the beenie, let the ladies see your hair!

i have a serious problem..

im a buff girl, im not skinny, but not chunky, and im pretty musculor. i used to be in a lot of fist fights and think i can beat everyone up and have that mentality that i was strong, and people were afraid of me.

until last year, my junior year of high school, i got beat up by a sophomore.. this girl completely caught me off guard and i was humiliated in front of my whole school.

this girl continued to cyber bully me for a few months but it ended last summer..

my problem now is that this girl is taunting me. i was hospitalized from the fight, and had a serious concusion and the fight always replays in my head (what i can remember of it).. i can never stop thinking of this girl and it drives me crazy! especially because its so old and i know she doesnt care about me anymore.

besides just her, im scared of everyone now! i feel weak, like i cant fight, and like i cant stick up for myself,., im always scared of getting beat up by people and my stomach turns everytime i see this girls face in the hallways at school.. i dont feel myself anymore. i feel so weak and helpless and i hate it,, i dont know what to do anymore. why is this girl haunting me SO much for SO long and what do i do about it?




also, i am pregnant now and my mom even asked me if i got pregnant on purpose so that the girl wouldnt be able to hit me again.. and now i wonder if subconsiously i did get pregnant thinking that.

i dont know, im messed up.. someone help me gain my strength back :(

You should really go talk to a counselor. The hormones during pregnancy make you more vulnerable to depression and other things. You shouldn't be feeling the way you are, it is not normal at all. Talk to your parents about seeing a counselor, if they won't help, talk to the one at school. Planned parenthood might even be able to help in some way. Your OB-GYN can help also.

I used to masturbate by putting my vagina against a jet in my jacuzi and by rubbing my vagina with my hand. Now, my clitoris is SUPER flabby and long. Has my masturbation caused this? I am really ashamed and I no longer do this.

Don't be ashamed at all. Your boyfriends will have an easier time pleasuring you. Some girls have hardly any exposed clitoris. More exposed means more area that will rub during sex, and easier orgasms.

I feel really ashamed for posting this question, but I'm 18f and I've critiqued my body for so long everyday that I just don't even know if I look skinny or good anymore. It's so frustrating, I don't know if I'm beach ready yet. help?

Too many people criticize their bodies now days. Everyone is beautiful in their own way. You don't need to be stick skinny to wear a bathing suit. When I see a girl so skinny she looks like a bag of skin on bones, I wanna puke. A healthy body fat for women is 20% or less, but women need more body fat than men for multiple reasons. 15-20% body fat is good. So find out what your body fat is, if it's in that range, I can guarantee you will be a knock out at the beach.

I really like this guy but im scared to talk to him any advice on how to do it?

From things I've read and heard, guys like a girl who will take the initiative. If you really like him, you need to be bold, and make the first move. Just walk up to him and start a conversation. Introduce yourself to him. Hope that will help get you started, and good luck!

im irregular im a teen. if i saw a trace of blood (spotting) does that mean im definitely getting my period? i often skip months. i REALLY dont want my period. if im stressed will it hold of? exercise? ANYTHING!?!! do i have any chance of not getting it or shortening it? thx

There's only one way to stop your period, and that's birth control pills. Stress can make you irregular, exercise won't do anything. It is very common to be irregular when you are young. I was very irregular until I had my first child. Then my system balanced out, and was predictable. Is there any reason you don't want to have it? Horrible cramps or something like that? I would just talk to your mom about your issues, and see if she would agree to take you to a doctor.


If you haven't officially had your first period, your body is readying itself for it. If you're spotting, you could get it anytime. Just keep pads with you in your purse or backpack, and wear a pantyliner just in case. That way no embarrassing accidents.

Hey im 18/f and my bf is 21/m i just recently started noticing that when we have sex it reallly hurts! It never used to hurt until like a couple weeks ago. Hes not really big either so its not that. The only time it doesnt hurt is if we're doing missionary. Other than that everything else hurts. We could do other positions and it didnt hurt but does now. Is there something wrong with me? I dont have insurance so i cant afford to go to the doctors. Can anybody tell me why this is happening? My boyfriend and i are both clean too.

Thanks a bunch
I will rate high!

Most towns have free clinics for the uninsured. Find out where your closest free clinic is, and get in asap. There's quite a few different infections that can cause this, and also stuff like pelvic inflammatory disease. Sometimes you have to go to the doctor even if you don't have insurance, they will take payments, even if you can only give them a few dollars a month.

Lately I've been able to predict pretty accurately what happens to me emotionally on certain days by merely looking at the calendar.

I've never had anything like this. It's been this way ever since I met this boy. Like I'd get feelings that I would be sad or happy or whatever on a certain day or time months in advance. And it's always what I expected it to be.

Even the things I've said to that boy about my feelings or fears about certain times turns out to be extremely accurate. Like thoughts like "I can't wait until this certain month" or "I need to get through this certain month". Then when I do reach that month, it comes true.

Could it be that the emotions that I have during that time period is so strong I can sense it? All of the strong feelings that I have are according to that boy. Or could it be that I'm thinking everything through so much that I'm catching on to the patterns in life?

It's rare that a true psychic, can see anything about themselves. It's more likely a self-fulfilling prophecy. You said you can't wait for "X" month, and your sub-concious remembers its.

When it comes to emotions tho, some people are more empathic then others and can sense the energy or moods of people around them. This would not predict the future at all in any way. I'm more "sensitive" this way then the average person, and so is my mother (it tends to be hereditary). I am very easily overwhelmed in large crowds, especially with strong emotions like anger or panic. This also allows me to read people better, which is a plus in my opinion. Could you be mistaking these kinds of feelings maybe? Also, I didn't really recognize I had this perception until in my twenties, even tho it has happened my whole life. I just thought it was normal. Hope I gave you something to work with, let me know. ^.^

The back half of my vagina itches, its seems to be on the inside-ish. I shave down there so my thought is that its chaffing (i hadn't shaved in awhile- so maybe it was caused by that). It doesn't really itch when im like lying down, its just when im walking/ moving.

Any ideas what this is (or if its just chaffing) and how i can fix it?

Thanks so much.

Besides chaffing, it could also be razor burn. I believe you can get creams to help with razor burn.

My boyfriend and I have been having issues lately. It's summer break and naturally we are seeing a lot less of eachother. I haven't seen him in over a week which is strange seeing as we usually see eachother every day. The problem is that I'm not taking it so badly. He thinks that I don't want to see him, but that's not it. I don't really like summer vacation because I feel like I'm kind of useless during it, but at the same time I'm an independent person. My boyfriend isn't exactly like that, he's a lot more affectionate you could say. I feel like there's all these things that couples are supposed to do and I just don't want to lose myself but it feels like I'm hurting him and this is hurting me too. I know this isn't much of a question but I just don't know what's wrong, we just both feel crappy about this and won't stop arguing about stupid things. :/

sometimes people's personalities aren't always the best match. I'm not going to say you should break up with him, every relationship is different. I would, though, look at your relationship, and decide if it is the best for you and your boyfriend. Everyone argues, but at your age, is this what you and him want? Also explain to him that you like the space, and you are not as affectionate as him. Nothing will get changed without everything laid out open on the table.
