How do I repel mosquitoes and other bugs?
Posted Tuesday June 2 2009, 1:25 am
I really need to know how to repel mosquitoes from myself. I heard there were some natural ways involving some sort of vitamins or garlic but I am not exactly sure what the correct information is.
My mom said they made some stuff to spray on you that repels bugs but I don't know what it is called or anything.
Can someone help me? These bugs are eating me alive already and I don't want to get West Nile Virus!!! How do I protect myself from the West Nile Virus when these mosquitoes don't stop biting?!

Vaginal care 18/F
Posted Tuesday June 2 2009, 12:34 am
So I've decided to take extra good care of my body, which includes eating healthy foods, remembering to take my dietary supplements, deep conditioning my hair, and flossing after lunch and dinner, and excercising. But also this includes taking care of my intimates. This is a subject I've never talked about with my mother, and I recently learned that washing the area with just plain water is not enough, you should use a mild soap on the external area. Well, I have been using a body wash, but I don't think it's meant to be used on the vaginal area. I have heard of Summer's Eve Feminine Wash, and that it is made especially for the area and doesn't irritate or upset the pH. Is this product a douche or a soap (internal or external)? Is it safe ...

Light brown discharge
Posted Monday June 1 2009, 9:53 pm
19/f
Today is the 30th day of my cycle and I started getting a light brown discharge 3 days ago. I usually get my period every 25-33 days. I dont have sore breasts or anything like I usually do and I have only ever had this discharge after my period, NEVER before.
My boyfriend and I dont have sex but we fool around a bit so I doubt i could be pregnant unless he had semen on his fingers or something.
I was on the pill but I have had 3 periods since I stopped taking it and I havent had light brown discharge before any of them.
Should I be concerned? Because Im scared.

Diseased or Hormonal?
Posted Monday June 1 2009, 6:56 pm
I'm 16/f and lately I've noticed that I feel rather odd. I feel very tired at times when I go to school and I try to combat it with coffee so as not to fall asleep. I get enough sleep I think, from 11pm to around 6:15am? After school when I am coming home from school I feel my eyelids closing and I get motion sickness in the car ride home. My first thought was pregnancy, but that one has been completely ruled out (I've had two periods since the only time I had sex). So I'm not sure what's wrong. I also get joint pain a lot which is probably unrelated. I would go to the doctor's but unfortunately my medical insurance expired last month and my physical last month showed no abnormalities. So, is there something wrong with me? :(

Iron
Posted Monday June 1 2009, 11:28 am
16/f So recently i had surgery, and before it i had to get my blood drawn. Well they told me that i was anemic or something and i asked what that was and she told me that i was really low on iron. I was wondering what foods have iron in them. I usually eat healthy foods and i like to be healthy so this kinda bothered me. Any ideas on how to get it up would be appreciated. Thanks =]

Lo ogestrel
Posted Monday June 1 2009, 12:03 am
Okay. So I've been on lo ogestrel for about 2 weeks now. And I've broken out outrageously. Like I used to get maybe three at a time and alot of blackheads on my face and the occasional back zit. Since I've been on this pill, I've gotten like 4 zits on my back, a ton on my butt, a few in m cleavage, and my forehead is covered in white heads, as well as other parts of my face. My question is, I know it's a possible side effect, but has anyone else on this pill experienced this? And if so does it go away after the first month or so, or did it stay that way for you? Thanks. And yes Ik bc is different for everyone but I'm desperate here

weird "spotting" ?
Posted Sunday May 31 2009, 4:47 pm
alright, I'm pretty confused.
today, I had a stomach ache for a little while which felt like period cramps. I'm not due until around the 8th (it's the 31st).
so, today, while my boyfriend was fingering me, I looked onto my underwear to see it was damp with this brown color all over the pad area.
I didn't think anything of it, so I changed my underwear and then we proceeded to have sex. however, i noticed that on my new pair of underwear I had two tiny brown spots .. I thought it was an early sign of my period.
however, no blood showed up on the condom or anything, but somehow the blanket got in the way of us and a whole streak of what looked like the same color of my spotting wa...

I do it for flavor, and it doesn't hurt. My boyfriend said that it makes me taste really good :]
He uses it to keep me sweet and whatever flavor he likes :]
But... is it bad for me? Like could I get an infection?

Birth Control
Posted Saturday May 30 2009, 4:00 pm
I've been on birth control regularly for about 2 years and it is very vital that i am on it. Anyway, my refills were about to expire and i was actually at the doctors a week before they did so i asked if she could refill them, she printed me out the re-fill sheet and gave it to me but she regularly faxes it over so i assumed she faxed one over and then just gave me a copy. so when it came time to go get a new pack, i called the pharmacy and they said i had no refills so i had to go pick up the sheet at the doctors and by the time i was able to do that, it was thursday and i'm supposed to start the new pack on sundays. Soo basically my question is do i have to wait to get my period until i can start up my birth control again or think i will ...

I could be pregnant; taking test tomorrow. If I am, what's next?
Posted Friday May 29 2009, 11:32 pm
I have a gut instinct I am pregnant. I am always regular, but now I never had my period.. two weeks late and I am waking up getting sick, and I cramp so bad I could cry. I've been so moody, and I have a big headache. A few random times I had sore breasts but not right now at the moment. Well, took online tests and said it's a 60%.. and won't know for sure til I test, I know. I am testing in the morning.
So to the point, what can I do if I am pregnant? I have no insurance; although if I am positive I may sign up for medicaid and welfare.. I just got laid off from my job, and no one is hiring. Same as my fiance. I reside with parents for financial reasons, and I know if they find out I am pregnant, they'll kick me out.

pills

The pill and the morning after pill
are they the same?
Because I swear both of them stop your period , so they must be the same?
And as for the pill, when does it wear off?
