I took the morning after pill about 10 days ago and I started my period two days ago. My period is extremely heavy now, heavier than ever before! That is only the beginning of the problem though. I have been so depressed in the past week (starting maybe 24 to 48 hours after I took the morning after pill) and yesterday I was furious with anyone who talked to me...about ANYTHING! Everything made me mad I was so moody.

So, after a big crying fit I had yesterday (that completely ruined my day and embarrassed me), I remembered that I took the morning after pill. I had heard it is sort-of like birth control pills only in a much higher dosage, but I'm not sure if that is true. Am I understanding correctly?

Is all of this (the heavy bleeding, sudden bursts of rage, and horrible depression) related to the morning after pill I took? Maybe I'm just too sensitive to the pill? Should I see a doctor? It really feels like my hormones are going crazy and I'm so depressed now (and I've never been like this; it's awful)! :( (link)
I highly recommend you see a dr, preferably a gineocologist, because as you pointed out, all of these symptoms seem like side effects of plan b.

I would also recommend that you withhold from taking anymore doses of the morning after pill until you seek advice from a professional and give him/her specifics on all the above mentioned symptoms.

Hope everything works out,

i have a friend who is moving to NYC in a week and im planning on visiting her soon after. i was wondering what stores offer really great deals on clothes, shoes, accessories, etc. we both really love the store forever 21 and hate expensive brand name clothes. i live just outside new york, and i know the city fairly well. i know about canal street, but anything else like that would be fun.
also, any other fun things we can do (nothing tourist-y like the central park zoo, or times square, which we will probably do anyways) would be great! thanks! (link)
As far as fun things to do, I suggest you check out battery park, at the southern tip of Manhattan. It's not too "tourist-y" and during some months there are Sunset Walks, where a guide will have special binoculars where you can view the sun, close up, and talk about different species of fauna and flora that make their home in battery park.

If you're into massages and spas I recommend Aphrodite Skin Care located on 811 Lexington Ave, in Midtown. There you can get a facial or massage for, what I consider, to be good prices for the City.

As far as food goes, if you like Italian cuisine, a stop by Little Italy is a must... I knew of a really good restaurant that had a very attentive host called Fabrizio... but sadly I dont remember the name :-(
If you happen to be in the east village and LOVe LOVE LOVE pastries, especially Italian Pasticcerias I recommend Veniero's on 342 E 11th St. To die for.

Hope this helps,
Paige


So about a month a go I was hanging out with my boyfriend and our friend and our friend said that he hadnt worked all that week and that he had been bored all week. Well later that night I called his girlfriend and we were talking then she said that she hadn't seen him all tthat week and I ask why and she said that he was working then I told her that he told me differnt and then she dumped him. A few people found out that I told her that and think I purposly broke them and now everyone including her is mad at me and its been about a month and they all keep talking bad about me and they talk bad to me to my OWN BOYFRIEND! He tells them I didnt do anything and sicks up for me but even my own cusin is mad at me. How do I fix all of this? can I fix all of this? I didnt mean to do it I told her to think about it before she dumped him. (link)
If you innocently and unconsciously broke this news to the girlfriend, without wanting to cause her or your friend any problems, then I don't see why you should be ostracized by all your acquaintances. It seems like it was an honest mistake.

Were you good friends with the girlfriend before the conflict? If you were, perhaps it would be a good idea that you reach out to her, set a date to talk one on one, just the two of you, explain what happened and express your feelings - and give a sincere apology:: why the apology? because even though you didn't mean to cause all the events that happened, what you said did.

I would also advise, as you have said that the boyfriend is a friend of yours, to make an effort to carry on a similar conversation with him.

If this doesn't help, then it would be best to step back, take a breather, and focus on other things while they get over the situation and feelings mend. Sometimes people get so worked up over emotionally charged things that it is difficult for them to see the logic in a situation. Maintain a positive attitude and demonstrate to your friends that you are an honest and trustworthy person.

Best of Luck,
Paige
