Health - 10 August 2006

I'm getting married in less than a month and I'm allergic to latex condoms... so I'm thinking about trying polyurethane condoms... but I don't know too much about them. I have read up on them online but I was curious to see if anyone could give me first hand advice on them or had useful info on them that isn't in the blurbs on condom buying websites..

I did find this statistic "Over six months, couples using polyurethane condoms had a 9% chance of getting pregnant. Those using latex condoms had a 5.4% pregnancy risk."...

Being that I'm allergic to latex, have less than a month before I need the birth control method to kick in (the pill wouldn't work..), and I'm a little hesitant to use more non-natural methods (like the shot or something) because I do want to have kids later in life and I wouldn't want it to mess anything up somehow (my sister had 15 miscarriages and mother 3 so I already will be working against genetics when the time comes.) does this seem like the best option?

And if you know anything about it - is there any more detail you can give on dehydration etc and how it affects your urine?

Funny question I know, but I am just curious.

Thanks

Atleast for the last 60 hrs. Can it be for real or is my brain having its sleep without my knowledge or is it just an illusion. The recent circumstances wouldn't let me close my eyes. Would sleeping pills be of any help. If yes, can someone tell me which....!!!!

About 4 months ago I was put on 20mgs of prozac, well suddenly i'm obssesed about cleaning my house. I would clean maybe 11 hours a day and still not be satisfied. It was like having ocd. There would be rooms that come nighttime i would have to make myself stay out of them or I would have to clean something in there.
A little less than 2 months ago, I went back to my doctor and had them up the dose (I take it for PPD) but now, at 40mgs, there are days I can barely make myself clean the house. Why did that happen?

I eat very healthy, veggies, salads, fruits. But I dont seem to lose as much weight as I want. I have lost atleast 20 lbs in the last 3 months. And I was wondering with all the sweat you contract from dancing can you lose weight a tad faster. I am several lbs bigger than my suppose weight. So I need to quickly get down there. I need extra help!

My 16 year old friend is struggling with bulimia/anorexia. For the past month she hasnt been eating, and if she has she throws it up. I am the only one she has told and i have finally convinced her to see a doctor. She is worried about her mom finding out though from the doctor. Because she is underage, is the doctor required to tell her mom about her disorder or is her secret safe in the doctors hands?

Also, this maybe a dumb question, but is there medicine a doctor can give her? What will a doctor do for her?
