If i go on the pill dose it make me gain weight?


Answer:
The amount of weight gain, if any, is different for everyone. The way the hormones effect you will determine the amount of weight you will gain, but it is usually only a few pounds. Your doctor may be able to offer suggestions about a low dosage pill, such as Ortho TriCyclin Lo that may decrease the chances of weight gain. If you notice that you are gaining an abnormal amount of weight with your pill, ask your doctor to switch the brand.
some do, yes, but normally it's a couple pounds, not a lot
In some instances the pill can cause weight gain. But, my gyno told me it can also cause an increase in appetite which may be what the weight gain is attibuted to. If it does, it's usually not more than a few pounds.
Women are effected differently. Mostly due to metabolism and hormones. Some can get rid of the weight they gain when starting it and some just drop the weight with no problem.
Well I'm on Yaz and I havent gained any weight. It's Been to months. since ive been on it. but some do and some dont.
yes if u do take birthcontrol pills it will make u gain weight primarily because the flow of the period is affected. I gained 20 lbs within 4 months and i m still trying to lose that weight and i have been off for 5 yrs now..

take care
There's no way to tell without trying. Some women gain weight with certain pills and some don't. You just have to try one to find out!
ive been on the pill for 2 years, and so far the only weight ive gained is in my boobs... can t complain there ; %26gt;
No. That's a myth.
When the Pill was first introduced it contained much higher levels of hormones than what is available in the formulations today (100-175 micrograms of oestrogen compared to 20-50 micrograms today). While weight gain was associated with these older high dose pills, the Pill formulations used today do not always result in weight gain. It is estimated that in the first year of use:

20-25% of women gain more than 2kg
60% of women experience no change or have a weight change within 2kg (both up and down)
15-20% of women actually lose more than 2kg weight.

The progestogen in the Pill can increase appetite which may result in weight gain. Some women may also experience water retention but this can often be reduced by switching to a lower dose pill.

If I go back on birth control?

I am almost 27, I was on birth control most of my young years, I have noticed since I have been off of it I have been breaking out. I mean its not real bad, but its bothersome. I am wondering if I get back on it if my face will be clear again, I have never had any face problems, it is bothering me really bad. But friends who are older say when they hit 25-30 they got acne again too, what is any ones input.
Thanks
Answer:
Many of the low dose pills do help with acne plus you will not be pregnant!
it could be the fact that ur not on birth control anymore...but chances are its just hormones. you can try birth control if u feel you really need it. otherwise try some face cleaners or something.
If the pill does not help with your acne you can always try over the counter acne products. I started having acne again in my early 20s and found that proactiv is the best product because it is sensitive to my skin and has immediate results.

If i get a pelvic exam will my hymen break and will i be in horrible pain!? im a virgin, any alternatives?

my urologist wanted to break my hymen and expect me to just take it. that heartless bitchh. who cares if i cant walk for 2 weeks and i bleed profusely. i hate pain but she doesnt care. is there any where around this? i wont let a guy stick anytthing up there, so how am isupposed to let a dr, just freely hurt the crap out of me?
Answer:
A pelvic or GYN exam should not tear open your hymen. The hymen is not affected by a gental pelvic exam with a small metal speculum.

The hymen is a small translucent membrane that partly covers the vaginal opening in most women. After puberty, due to changes in hormonal levels, the hymen becomes highly elastic and stretchable. Because of this elasticity the speculum, a small metal or plastic tool used during the internal exam, will not tear the hymen. For women who have never had anything in their vaginas, the smallest specula are used. These, Pederson specula, are about the same length as your index finger. Health Services is supplied with these speculums. Patients tend to think a plastic speculum will be more comfortable, the fact is that metal ones come in sizes much smaller and narrower than the smallest plastic speculum.

It is important to remeber that the speculum should not hurt regardless if whether or not you have ever had anything in your vagina before. Should you experience any discomfort during your exam be sure to communicate with your practitioner, let her know what you are feeling. Remember you are in complete control.
Ok, first of all you'll be FINE. It doesn't hurt to have your hymen break and you won't bleed profusely.you'll probably bleed maybe a tsp. amount. It's very little. She doesn't care if you hate pain or not because the test you are having is more important to your overall health than breaking your hymen. A pelvic exam sucks, don't get me wrong, but people have them ALL THE TIME and you'll live through it just fine. No alternatives, just suck it up and live with it. You will NOT bleed much and you'll be able to walk JUST FINE. If you've ever worn a tampon, you're hymen probably isn't in tact anyway.

If i do 40 sit ups a night will i get a 4pack in 3 weeks?


Answer:
No. You would have to do alot more every day.
no
Not likely for that little number. And you don't say whether you're altering your diet either.
Try like 150 a night if you want it in 3weeks.
no. ive tried 100 crunches a night for 1 month and it still doesnt work. well i have a 2 pack. if that counts. :S
if u mean a 4pack of beer, probably yes. for anything else 40 only and in just 3 weeks-forget it.
Everyone has a six/four/two pack, you usually just can't see them because they're covered in fat!!

You need to lose body fat first before doing crunches and sit ups. Doing something, anything that makes you sweat, and cutting down portion size is the only way to lose weight safely and stay healthy. You can see results in 4 weeks, but you'd have to work hard.

Good luck!
I agree with whoopi. During cross-country ski season in high school I was doing ~200 sit ups a day for months and pretty thin but developed barely more than a ripple in my stomach. Doing 40 sit ups a day isn't going to cut it regardless and if you have any fat on your belly, all your work will be for naught anyway.

If condom burst, what action should take to prevent pregnancy?


Answer:
mornign after pill
Morning after pill.
morning after pill.
the morning after pill
the sooner you take it
the more affective it is
Morning after pill and a trip to the doctor about a birth control back up plan to use along with a condom.
If the condom burst, and it's within the first 72 hours, have her take Plan B, its available over the counter now I believe and is not an abortion pill, but will help in not letting the woman get pregnant. The mechanism of action is the plan B is a super concentrated pill containing a group of hormones that trick the woman's body into thinking it's already pregant, so that the woman does not have a real pregnancy.
If this has only happened in the last 24 hrs you can douche yourself out with plenty of coarse cooking salt. The salt will kill any sperm that may be dancing around where it shoudn't be. An old nursing matron at a woman's hospital told a friend of mine this and both she and I used nothing but this as our contraception when we were of child bearing age and it never failed us.
go to the pharmacist and request a morning after pill for the girl. pay for it, give it to her and keep your fingers crossed.

If anybody squeezes breast of girls its size increases??


Answer:
i've heard the saying too, im not sure simply because...even a virgin girl can lactate if enough activity is going on with her breasts or even if she "thinks" shes pregnant.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...
You know that saying theres no such thing as a stupid question..
yeah people say there no such thing as a stupid question, but I guess now there is!
the answer is yes, provided you squeeze hard enough but the swelling will go down in a day or two!

If a young person breaks their hip, how long are they usually in hospital for?


Answer:
Not sure, although I broke my femur bone when I was about 8 and was in traction for almost 4 months...

that's the one leading into the hip, although my break was above the knee..apparently they're similar.

Hope they're ok :O)

If a women gets shot...?

if a women gets shot in the boob, does milk or blood or both come out??
Answer:
blood! you don't even produce milk until your pregnant and about to give birth. and really up until you start breast feeding lots of women don't produce milk.when the baby attaches hisself to the breast for the first few times nothing usually comes out. it takes a few days for anything to even start being produced. then after a few days of not breast feeding it will dry up.
If she isn't nursing, just blood. Women don't produce milk unless they are nursing a child.
blood
Blood, duh.
Blood of course
i have heard of stupid people but WOW...


lol joke

i know you joking
Maybe silicone, hmmmmmm!
It would depend if she were lactating or not鈥攊f not only blood..
saline sounds about right these days
The Breast Of A Woman Only Produces Milk In The Time Span After A Baby Has Been Delivered

Also, I Think Even If They Were In The Prime Time Span
There Would Be Much More Blood Than Milk
blood for sure; add milk if she's lactating (was recently pregnant)
just blood or some white liquid that isnt milk

If a womans very large breasts are getting her down, I there anywhere she can go for support ?


Answer:
I wondered that today when I saw this large woman with the most massive heavy bosoms I have EVER seen she could hardly walk!! I felt really sorry for her as I doubt there is a bra in existance that could support them apart from scaffolding!
To a plastic surgeon to get them reduced!

:)
yes. go to a store and look for underwire bras with large straps. very supportive. lol.
Sounds like she needs an over shoulder boulder holder.
I'm sure you'll be there to offer some assistance!
I'll lend her a hand (or 2)

If a woman suddenly discovers that she grows some hairs on her breasts, does it mean she is getting infertile?

Please no stupid jokes.
Does it mean that a woman produces less ostroegen?
Is it a warning sign that she is losing her fertility?
Is there anything she should do?
Answer:
no, that means you actually have more estrogen. Estrogen helps you gain hormones such as LH and FSH, which provide fertility of the egg. Hair growth on the body is a sign of high estrogen, which means your fertility is fine
No. I have always had hair on my breasts, since puberty, and have had four children.

In my case it means my hormones do not work optimally, however. More testosterone and androgen. :)
I hope not. Talk to your doctor.
Not necessarily I would go to a gyno just to check things out.
I get hairy nipples, and most women I know do. But just wax; shave and ssh!
so many jokes so little time
(sorry)
no
Hair on the human body is a natural occurance. The amount of body hair is generally hereditary and is defined in your DNA. Unless it is an excessive amount I wouldn't be too concerned with it. Pluck them out. If, on the other hand, there IS an excessive amount you may want to consult a physician.
arent we descended from apes
hairs natural
Doesn't mean a thing. We all have hair on our breasts
The human body has hairs all over. it is apparently left over fur from when we didn't wear clothes.
Oh Puleeeeze!!!!!!
Look its probably natural, but please wax that hair off!
no its normal
It could mean an increased amount of testosterone in your system (Yes! Women have that too!) of course, almost all women have hair there at least through one phase of their life. You may need to talk to your doctor to be sure, but i would recommend analyzing the ingredients of what you eat (Turn to a healthier diet) and if that doesn't help, try estrogen pills. Hope this helps!
no not necessarily

If a woman starting menstruating at 11, at what age can she expect to stop doing so?


Answer:
Typically in her late 50's, but all women are different.
women usually go through the menopause at the age of around 50 or 60
you have gotten all good answers..I have an aunt, who started at 10, and she is now 62 and believe it or not, she still gets her cycle. Go figure!
I started at 11. I'm 50 and I'm still menstruating. The sad news for us is that the earlier you start, the later you finish! The average age for menopause is 51. A lot depends on when your mother went through the change, but my guess is that it will be somewhere around the mid-50s.
It depends are you Latina descent? How old was your mother when she started and has she stopped yet, talked to her. Allot of South American women develop sooner. It doesn't necessarily mean it will end sooner, depends on your own heredity.
87

If a woman is on her period what are the effects if she goes into a pool?


Answer:
the effects are
people running out of the pool cause your period blod is in the pool but you can wear a tampon it wont leak in the water thats about it you can still do anything while you are on your period
It's not going to affect her but you need to have a tampon in so your bloody discharge doesn't get into the water.
None at all, if she wears a tampon.
If you wear a tampon everything should be fine.
If she wears a tampon, nothing happens. If she doesn't, she'll get blood all over the pool water, and probably ruin her swimsuit in the process. People will get mad at her, and they will throw her out of the swimming pool.

If a woman if 45 and has a tiny amount of bleeding between periods what does this mean ?


Answer:
its probably a hormonal imbalance..this is common at ur age when hormone levels are rising and dropping..if the bleeding becomes very heavy or ur passing clots u should see a doctor
she's gonna lose her period, i think..u know--menoposal

i don't know how to spell that word, sorry!
The most obvious answer is that you're beginning the menopause, but I would get yourself checked by your doctor because it could be something else (eg, cervical cancer - very unlikely, but you should get it ruled out)
Well, at this age one may assume that the menopause is under way. There are certain signs such a bleeding stopping and bleeding becoming irregular.
I would go see a women's health professional to find our where I am in that connection since there are other changes that are easier if I know for sure.
it is the start of her change of life.
it could be pre menopause or it could be breakthrough bleeding that is being caused by some othe reason but i would bet it is pre menopause though it is best to see a dr about it to be sure-and if it is pre menopause good luck with it and if you get hot flashes bad try a all natural product for them because i had them sooooooo bad i didnt think i could handle it any longer i tried the all natural supplementd have only had a few it many mths.
Do you have a coil fitted?
This tends to happen if thats the case - even if you previously have not experienced this before it is very common.

If not deff go to the doctors, it's probably just the meapouse as suggested by others but it will just play on your mind if you don't get this confirmed
You are most likely perimenopausal. The average age of onset is 45.

Contrary to what everyone is posting here, you don't just "get" menopause like some disease. There are stages. This one may last several years.

What this means and how it's going to affect your life is something you need to discuss with your doctor. It can be your family doctor or the one who does your Pap smears every year, but you need to talk with them about what it means.

I had this talk recently with my family doctor and he was able to answer every question I had. My time hasn't come yet, but it was a very informative discussion.
it means that you are at the stage of menopause,you are likely to cut-it of.most of women experince this state while at that age.but if you're stil healthy enough I would recommend that you to your doctor,coz you stil have 5-8yrs to go before reaching the climax(menopause)
my mum experienced this before she started going through the menopause
she has a period every 5 months now
Could possibly mean infection but the only way to know for sure is to have her get in touch with her dr to have them further evaluate the situation.
menopause.

If a woman doesn't ovulate while taking birth control then what happens to her eggs?


Answer:
they leave your body when you menstruate ( have your period)
In the old days the pill was strong enough to prevent ovulation. Now, the new birth control pills are low hormone so they don't always prevent ovulation. If a released egg is fertilized, by the time the blastocyst travels down to implant, the hormones in the pill drops and it causes the period to start, blighting a very early pregnancy.

Doctors don't tell women the pill might be abortive. I was shocked to learn it doesn't always prevent ovulation, just implantation.

"Some forms of contraception, specifically the intrauterine device (IUD), Norplant, and certain low-dose oral contraceptives, often do not prevent conception but prevent implantation of an already fertilized ovum. The result is an early abortion, the killing of an already conceived individual. Tragically, many women are not told this by their physicians, and therefore do not make an informed choice about which contraceptive to use." [1] "
I was told a women does NOT ovulate on birth control, so your period is completely artificial. Kinda scary huh?
The eggs simply remain in the ovary. They age, just like the rest of your eggs, and become less receptive to fertilization over time, so you won't stay fertile longer than most women. Since women are born with all of the eggs they'll ever have, the unused eggs just "die" and get reabsorbed into the body.
When you're on birth control you don't ovulate and you don't produce more eggs either. You have what they call "withdrawel bleeding" when you have the inactive pills in your birthcontrol pack. It is bleeding which occurs due to the radical change in hormones, because you're going from being on the artificial hormones to no hormones at all.
OK...I have to interject. We covered this topic recently in college human biology and I also did a bunch of reading about it when I went on a new pill. It is true that birth control pills do not always prevent ovulation...they work in several ways...inhibiting (but not completely stopping) ovulation, changing the female reproductive tract environment so it is less receptive to sperm and effecting the lining of uterus so that it reduces the possibility of implantation if an egg happens to be released and fertilized. (Obviously some people think this is "killing a baby" but I think that is absurd.)

Anyway, if you don't ovulate, an egg is not released. It most likely has not even matured, so it just kind of waits like it has been all of your life. We are born with all of the (immature) eggs we will ever have.

If a person...?

was to smoke only one day a year would it do them any health damage? If so, what about only one cigarette a year?
Answer:
Your body only needs one damaged cell to begin cancer, any chance you take at smoking could cause it.
If you have illness or cancer in your family you will be predisposed to getting that condition.
I say don't spoke at all!
They could expose themselves to dangerous toxins for one day a year...but they could get addicted while doing it and from one it will lead to another and another until they can't stop and they are a full blown smoker all the time. Besides that...you can't just buy one cigarette...so what do you do...keep the rest of the pack for temptation??
i doubt it. my mom smokes pretty much every night and she's been smoking for like 20 years, so I doubt it will any damage. By the time you smoke again, your lungs would of healed from the year before.

If a lady had her period June 11-14, on what dates would she have them in August?


Answer:
It really depends on how regular she is and the length of her cycle. Truth is only she knows for sure.
The amount of time between periods varies from woman to woman. Some may get it ever 21 days and others may get it every 35 days. The same woman may have differing times between periods each month. There is absolutely no way to predict.
28 days from this date
ideally 28 days after the 11th june, so 9th July,but even the slighest change in the body e.g stress,diet can change this cycle, everyone's cycle is different and most rarly stick to 28 days

If a girl says she?

what do i say to a girl when she says she is too fat to be anorixic?
Answer:
you should tell her your just exagerating you look nice or great
just tell her your not fat
there isn't much you can do or say to convince. Just give her random comments about how good she looks, it will help boost her confidence. If it is a major issue, get her help if you think she may really be anorexic
I think all women say they are fat no matter how much they weigh. I do and im only 93 pounds but i can show you belly fat lmao But seriously is she anorexic? Does she eat right or make herself throw up if she does she needs help now before it gets outta hand and tell her things like too skinny is nasty but your just right not nasty skinny and not fat at all. She will luv ya for it.
tell her she is sweet as a pumkin, succulant as an apple , love her the way she is
Who is she comparing herself to ? What is her idea of fat? And who is she competing with that makes her feel "too fat"?

When approaching, you cannot accuse. Inquire.let her talk and show you so that she can not feel on the defensive...
She might actually be anorexic.
The thing about anorexia is the girl thinks she's fat,
when she's not.
If you really think she is anorexic,
get help for her,
even if she makes you promise not to tell anyone
or something like that.
But if you dont really think so,
juss tell her she's pretty the way she is.
tell her shes perfict the way she is
Just let her know she's great the way she is and that you haven't given it a thought - She just sounds a little insecure right now - And you can show her she can trust you by your actions
You should tell her that she is way to beautiful and you think she looks perfect.

If your Pregnant is it good to buy a chawawa right before you give birth like 4 months to go is this safe?

SHE ALSO HAS A VERY OLD DOG (CHAWAWA) ARE THESE DOGS GOOD FOR KIDS. I SAID THY ARE NOT BUT SHE DOES NOT CARE.WHAT IF ANY BOOKS ARE THERE THAT I CAN GET TO TELL HER THAT IT IS OR IS'NT GOOD.
Answer:
not all chihuahuas are the same . I have two and they are super good natured they both like kids and they are good with adults as well . it just depends on the chihuahuas.
i would say don't get it so you can devote all of your attention once the baby comes, it's going to be quite hard, maybe you can get it after the baby is 2 years old, but when it's a newborn, it need a lot of attention.
I have a chihuahua and she loves my daughter. They get along wonderfully. She actually likes kids WAY MORE that adults. I think it would be fine as long as the dog has a good temperament,.
no / why / because/ the dog/ will /not get/ the care /it needs /because /when the baby /is born/ all attention/ will be on it
first of all you spell it chihuahua not chawawa

and no dont buy a dog 4 months early you have to train it what if it bites the newborn or what if the baby bites it
These dogs are not real good with small children. They are very nervous %26 territorial. Also small children like to get into dogs faces making them a prime target for getting bitten. Children also like to carry them around like a stuffed animal then drop them like a toy also very easily breaking the dogs legs. Also a very pregnant woman might not see the puppy right under her feet %26 step on it. Plus it is very difficult to bend over %26 pick up the puppy when a woman is past her 6 th month.Go to any pet store they will have books on all types of dogs %26 what their temperament is %26 the best type of household for each breed. The proper spelling is Chihuahua.
I don't reccomend that you should get any dogs. First, the dog might bite him/her for some unknown reason. That happended to someone I know. Next if you want a pet i don't recomend a chiwawa because they get excited easily and will "Play" with your baby by jumping on it. If it's a really really old one, i don't think you should get it. I knew a really old chiwawa who was blind in one eye and bit me alot! Last, wait till your kid is older because you don't want anything to happen to your child! Also, not making you buy a dog, but maybe when your child is older, you could get a golden retriver because I heard their great beginner dogs for little kids.

IBS and colonoscopy?

is a colonoscpy a common way to help diagnose IBS? I might have IBS and will be seeing a GI specialist next week. I'm not thrilled over the idea of a colonoscopy mainly because I don't do well with conscious sedation sedatives. a friend told me they will probably want to do it.
Answer:
Because IBS is inflammation of the bowels, causing a backlog so to speak, a colonoscopy becomes more of an eliminatory tool to rule out the possibility of a more sinister underlying problem. Many doctors are happy to say that bloatedness and gut-ache is down to IBS, but more and more specialists are ensuring that there is nothing else wrong first.

IBS is treatable with fibre and probiotics, along with a reduction in some foods which aggravate the system.
I have IBS, diagnosed based on symptoms. Before you agree to a colonoscopy, why don't you try diet changes and OTC products? In fact, that's probably what your doc is gonna recommend.

Ibprophin?

Hello, my period was due already about 2-3 days ago, well last thurs I had a wisdom tooth pulled and chose to take Ibprophin for the pain and have been taking quite a bit over these last few days, could this be the reason I have not had my period yet?

No I cant be pregnant because I had my tubes tied about 10 yrs ago, Im age 38
Answer:
Stress (from having a tooth painful enough need pulling) could delay a period. Ibuprofen is a common ingredient in period pain medication - doesn't do anything to delay them.
no.
I don't think the ibuprophen delayed your period, but the stress of the surgery and consequent pain may have.
no the ibuprofen wouldn't stop your period. I use it when I am on mine. (wish it would LOL). Are you dieting? Or under some stress? that would cause the lapse.
it only because of stress.

I`m nervous to tell my mom that i have a lump under my breast.what should i do?

i dont think its anything really bad because i am at a young age to get cancer, but i`m not sure. HELP!
Answer:
Why would you be nervous to tell your mom? You didn't do anything wrong. Just let her know that you found something and ask her to take you to the doctor. Its nothing to mess around with - the sooner you find out what's going on, the sooner you can either have it treated or just relax because it probably is nothing - BUT you don't want to make the mistake of assuming as such in case its not.
If your mom is going to freak out - make your own doctors appointment and have it checked out. If you dont have the ability to go see your regular doctor, go to a free clinic- planned parenthood can assist you with this as well - they're there not just for birth control reasons :)

Relax...it probably is nothing - but your health is nothing to mess around with. Just get it taken care of - if it turns out to be something, the quicker you get it taken care of, the easier it will be. If its nothing, at least you know its nothing and you can be relieved :)
It makes no sense to sit and stress over something that you can easily have taken care of - which is worse, telling your mom now or worrying about it every moment of every day and later finding out that it was something and if you had just said something, you wouldn't have to deal with it now.
If your breasts are just beginning to develope, then there's nothing wrong. Don't worry
Don't worry probably nothing but a cyst or similar.

However just for your piece of mind get it looked at by a doctor, tell your mum as she can offer guidance and support.

Please do it for you and your family, better to have it looked at now than something untoward developing.

Good luck, don't worry.
Well ignoring it sure isn't going to help. TELL your mother, don't be embarrassed; she has breasts too. She WILL understand. She can than help you make a Dr appointment. Most likely it will be nothing but you will have piece of mind having that confirmation from a doctor.
Ok. Weigh your options:
1. Tell mom you have a lump under your breast--%26gt;get proper medical attention--%26gt;live happily ever after
2. Don't tell mom you have a lump under your breast--%26gt;don't get medical attention--%26gt;go on living with this, worrying and very possibly watching it develop into something worse--%26gt;live happily ever after?

Tell your mom... she is your protector and this is not embarrassing at all. It is a serious health matter. If your arm was broken, would you not tell her? This is your mom, not some stranger.
Tell her to make you a doctors appt. And talk to your doctor. It may just be your breasts developing, but it isn't safe to assume so.
This is something really scary to deal with and anyone can understand that even your mom. She will probably want you to get checked out by your gyn, which you should. Even if you and your mom think it's nothing and it's probably not, you should go and make sure. Good luck and I hope that everything works out for you.
I am assuming that you are a young girl. Tell her, or at least get examined by a trusted health professional. This is a part of growing up and nothing to be embarrased about.

I.u.d. question?

hello, has anybody had a i.u.d.? my daughter is getting one put in on her next cycle. how safe are they? are there any problems involved? she chose that over everything else. on the patch right now. any help is greatly appreaciated. thanks in advance.
Answer:
hi, there are two different types of iud's. one has hormones like the patch (lasts 5 yrs) and one that is made with copper(10yrs). each one comes with certain "risks" just as using any other form of contraception...it only takes a few minutes to have done and really can't be felt after being put into place...if you have questions, you really should ask the dr. and have them give you the information packets with all the risks involved with the iud...generally though most people never have any problems, and are given instructions as to how to check the iud position and everything at the visit when she will have it put in...i've had my iud for over a year now with no problems, the only thing is my period has gotten a little heavier and a day longer...

so talk to the dr., get the packet, and ask them about anything which you are unsure about.
from what i have heard about IUD's they are very safe and very effective. They are one of the most convenient and effective types of contraceptive. With that being said, there are a few drawbacks. First, if not properly sterilized IUD's can introduce bacteria into the cervix and uterus which can cause infection. It carries a very slight risk of pelvic inflammatory disease. Lastly, it often makes a womans period longer and heavier. However, this usually only lasts for the first few months. Hope this helps..

I would LOVE to hear success stories from woman who have gotten pregnant naturally with PCOS??

Please.
I was just diagnosed with PCOS back in April, my husband and I have been trying to conceive for over a year now with no luck ( i am 21 years old)..
I have no symtpoms of PCOS other than irregular cycles, i do not experience weight problems( i'm 5'3, 108lbs),no facial/body hair,no acne, nor do i have cysts on my ovaries...All i have is elevated testosterone levels and high estrogen levels.Also i have been spotting every day since the beginning of April so i guess you could say i have been spotting for three months straight, though i think i might have started my period today but it could be messing with me..I had alot of red blood today but my cycle has done that befor, it lasted maybe an hour then the spotting went back to brown.
(I'M NOT ON ANY TYPE OF BIRTH CONTROL, hubby and i want to have a baby)
My doctor wants to put me on metformin though i have to get a hysteroscopy and an HSG befor hand which i can't afford the procedures at the moment..
success stories pleas
Answer:
Hi! There is a great site called www.soulcysters.net where you can post questions and read them from THOUSANDS of women with PCOS.

PCOS in it's most basic terms is a hormone imbalance and way low progesterone is usually the culprit. I'd see a naturopathic doctor who would probably put you on progesterone so you could acheive pregnancy...ODDLY...most mainstream OBGYNs either ignore how much women need progesterone, dont' know about it (which is a scary thought!) or don't care about their patients. I had THREE that knew I was low progesterone and refused to give it to me until I got pregnant.uhhh...duh, wake up doctor...progesterone is what causes your body to ovulate and since I don't, how can I get prego? GGGrrrrrrr... :)

There are many natural reproductive doctors around that could help you and their protocols are safer, more reliable and better for you as well. They have 80 percent success rates compared to IVF type stuff.which sits at 20 percent.

Metformin made me sick. And I didn't lose weight until I found the ND.

Good luck! :)
I did, I did! I have always had abnormal periods and facial hair, but no dr. could ever explain why. I was finally diagnosed with PCOS in '04 and put on Metformin. Within a year or so, I lost 42 pounds, stopped getting acne, and started having more regular periods (every 5 weeks or so instead of twice a year). However, I still couldn't get pregnant. My husband and I have been trying for almost 5 years. I took several rounds of Clomid and had three IUI's last fall, all to no avail. I was very discouraged and considering adoption. We finally started seeing a fertility specialist in January of this year. She recommended injectibles and more IUI's before considering IVF (which I wasn't willing to do). I had my labs done in Feb., and all came back normal, so they said to call when I got my next period and...I never got it! Miraculously, I ended up pregnant without any medical intervention. I'm now 19 weeks along and expecting a boy in the middle of November. I'm still in shock since I had figured it would never happen for us. All I can say is, take the Metformin, don't go on birth control, and see what happens. It's really hard not to get discouraged, but miracles do happen! Everyone kept telling me to relax, and I thought that was bull***, but it worked. As soon as we started seeing the specialist, I relaxed and got pregnant. Best of luck!

I would like to know can the morning after pill affect your periods and fertility?


Answer:
the morning after pill practically starts your period for you, so yes it that sense it will mess it up for a little bit. but it should have no affect on your fertility.

I would like to find a surgical menopause support group.?

i had a hysterectomy back in april of 06 and can not take hormones, have been having episodes of feeling very very angry and agitated and episodes of severe crying, then feeling ok, along with hot flashes. the emotional stuff has been the toughest. i just feel sooooo b#@%chy sometimes I can't help it, then other's Im ok. I just thought a support group might help. antidepressants just seem to make it worse. Help!
Answer:
I had my ovaries removed in May of '06, so I know what you're going through - except I have to take hormones since just my ovaries were removed, and I'll be taking them for at least 20 years. I've looked for surgical menopause support groups, but can't find any. Feel free to e-mail me if you need to vent... I'm a good listener.

I wont name names but a nasty gurl showed me her stuff and she had cottage cheese on it what is it?


Answer:
"Cottage Cheese" could be a number of things. This nasty girl could;
1. Have a yeast infection, or
2. Have an STD

Either way, I'd recommend you not touch that one! Good Luck!
its called a yeast infection. she should get some medicine for that
Cottage cheese?!?!?
Yep. She has a yeast infection. She should've been getting medicine to treat it.
wtf. cottage cheese?!
I'm not sure what it is, but I do know what it means. STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM HER

I wonder what pill should i take to enhance my breast?

i'm a bit conscious, my bf said that they are fine but i find them smaller, so i wonder what pill i should take to make grow bigger. Look, i don't want any surgery, that's too much.
Almost everything is good about my body except for my boobs size. Could anyone suggest to me any pills brand? (not a contraceptive pill okay)
Answer:
First of all, coming from a guy. Breast size really isn't that important as long as you are proportional to the rest of your body. Be confident with what you have and it will be more attractive than large breasts.
As we used to say "more than a mouthful is a waste"

More advice: My mom complained about her breasts being too small so my dad told her to rub toilet paper on them. When she asked why he told her it made her a** bigger didn't it? lol
there really aren't any pills that work at making your breast bigger,so you'll just have to live with it or have surgery .
i think your breast is fine, size doesnt matter as long he is happy for you and you love each other...
Take it from me girly. They dont work. I used them for 2 years and they are a big waste of money. Dont worry about your breasts. Just learn to love them. Before I had my children I was only a 34B and i got many compliments on them. A lot of men like smaller breasted woman. Having big breasts isnt all that. They can hurt your back, give you strech marks and it can be hard to find proper fitting clothing. Best of luck girly.

I went swimming without a tampon when i period was light..?

i went swimming without a tampon when i period was light but will i be ok? It was barely bleeding and after swimming didnt have any blood drizzling down. this won't hurt me will it? I feel fine.
Answer:
Yeah you're fine, but you really need to use a tampon. Your period doesn't always stop in the water. Don't take the risk.
yea, the reason you wear tampons is for the blood to not go in the pool and have embarrassing red stains. you will be fine, dont worry.
You will be fine...It doesn't hurt you to go swimming when u r on your period...most girl's periods stop when they go swimming and start back up again after...it won't hurt you at all...don't worry

hope this helped

have a great day : )
Whenever you bleed even with or without a tampon, don't ever go swimming in the ocean. Because the sharks can smell blood and they will follow you.
You REALLY shouldn't go swimming. You never know when it might start bleeding again!
it will be fine, but NEVER do this when your period is heavy you could spread some kind of disease.
Use Tampax/Kotex/OB/Playtex regular absorbency tampons.
You really should wear a tampon if you are on your period.

Just buy the lightest absorbency tampon.
