I've been trying to use tampons for the longest time and it just doesn't seem to work! I know how to put them in and for god's sake im not even a virgin so it should be pretty simple! It seems like everytime i try to put one in it goes in crooked.. left or right but never directly in the middle... i push it towards my back but it still seems to go in crooked and it does not feel very nice.. could i possible have a crooked cervix? I've never had a pap but my gyno has never made any comments about it. I switched to plastic applicators to see if that would help.. it is not as painful but it still seems to go in a bit crooked. Also, it seems like they give me more cramps.. the tampons i have now are a lot shorter than the ones i originally tried.. if i try to go longer i can not push it in far enough, it actually starts to hurt my abdomen.. the smaller ones just make me cramp more.. not only that.. but a lot of times the blood doesn't go through the tampon and goes straight to the string!

5'2", I went from size 12 to a size 5. Yet everyone I know keep making comments like I should regain the weight or gain a little bit more. I feel comfortable with my body now and I have a little confidence now. I dont want to gain any weight or lose any more.
What should I do? listen to loved ones and gain some weight or listen to myself and try to keep myself healthy? I wish that they could see that I am happy with myself now...

I am not sure if I have insomnia, but I havent been able to fall asleep at a good time. In high school, I was used to sleep at 3 in the morning and be able to wake up for early period at 6 in the morning. But now in college, I cant wake myself up in the morning for the life of me. Even with an alarm clock! This seems to be a reoccuring problem. For the past week I havent been able to sleep before 5am. So far, I have been lucky for I have gotten up for my classes; but I dunno how long I can keep it up. And its annoying! I need to get my sleep.

To gain 35-40 pounds in 1.5 months?

I train during the summer, high carb/protein diet. I work out 4 days a week. I jog every morning from 5am - 6:30am. I then do dry training which involves another 45 mins of skip rope.
Whats absent is my old ice training when I played hockey before I quit to focus on my studies.

Im pretty sure the weight is healthy, but a few of my friends have stated they've never heard of people gaining that much weight that quickly.

I have been with my fiance over a year & we never had sex. I cheated and possibly contracted sifilis. Can he catch the std through kissing me (open-mouth)? I am worried about him. If he gets it, he said were over, and I don't wanna loose him. Can he catch the std through kissing, or by just blood/body fluids?

Glasses especially those with frame may trigger fungal deposition. Usually this fungal (greenish alga) will gather around areas such as 2 plastic pads supporting the frame against the nose and surrounding areas of the lenses attached to the frame.

It looks horrible and the stain will remain there after a long time.So in yr personal experience or knowledge that u have, how do you get rid of this?

I would say that i have been drinking heavily for the past 5 to 7 years. Often i drink 5+ days in a week, not always to the point of intoxication, but i can drink 4 or 5 beers without being drunk. SOmetimes if a couple days go by, and i havent had any beer i get really bad shakes, my fine motor skills dont work and its visible to other people. I am a 25 year old female, and i am also very athletic. i work out about 3 days a week (with weights, jump rope, yoga) and I alwyas take the stairs/walk every where i go. I am very active.

do i have a problem with alcohol?

Is a light cola better than a dark cola? Is eating a pot pie ok? What would happen if your glucose reading is between 150 -281 everyday in the last four months. How long can you have this reading before something happens? What will happen when something does happen? Is there a way to buy insulin over the counter? Is there such a thing as Pre-diabetes? Is it the same as diabetes? Can someone with Pre-diabetes become normal? How long should one wait to check their glucose reading after they eat?
