Hi im a 22 year old girl and im desperate for a baby. Thing is i think i could be infertile. Ive been trying on and off for like 4 years and im still not pregnant. My doctor has done no tests but thinks i must be able to become pregnant because my periods are regular. The only thing i can think of is shortly after i begun my periods for the first time they were really heavy and really painfull but i kinda thought that was fairly normal. Does anyone know of any tests that can be done to check fertility rates?

If you are a Paxil user or have used Paxil, what has been your experiences with it? Was it hard for you to get off of it. I personally don't feel that it is having any effect whatsoever, except for diminished sex drive and dry mouth and making me feel sluggish.
What do you think? I would like to slowly taper myself off of this drug, but my doctor insists that I keep taking it. I think it just keeps him in business. He's a psychiatrist, but he doesn't do any counseling. All he does is write prescriptions. I would like to have some counseling, but my insurance doesn't cover it. I don't think that pills are the answer at all. Please help!

I have had my period for 9 days now and it usually lasts about 5 or 6 days. I had not taken a vitamin in a while. Once I started taking the vitamin, the flow got noticably less and I think it has stopped. My mother thinks I am anemic. So could an iron defiency be causing my prolonged period?

i am 17 years old and extremely confused. throughout my teenage years i have been shifted from school to school due to the lack of finance which has moved me away from alot of people that i grew up with. i have felt as i have hit puberty that i have been different form other people. i can't neccesarily talk much with people as i have no confidence and worry if i say something it will put them off me. i am however a very good listener. i'll listen to anyone at college if they seem down or pissed off with something. i probably have two friends who i can really talk to now and even them i don't see much as they live so far away. my girlfirend is lovely but i can't bring myself to talk to her anymore as i really do feel im socially inadequate. when i want to say something it comes out all wrong or takes about ten minutes to get out of my mouth! i do shut myself off from people too due to this which i don't like. i want to have a large group of friends and i want to socialise! please help!

My friend has a 12 year old almost 13 year old. She's already started her period, etc. I was talking to my friend about conception as to whether or not it's the right age to talk about it. I told her once they start their period it's possible for them to conceive. She said her daughter is to young, it began to make me wonder a bit if I was wrong. So I'm asking for opinions as to whether you think it's possible. If infact I can show her and she'll have a little bit more of an insight on how young and different things are today then they have been in the past.

I see this all the time especially at restaurants. It is disgusting. You mean to tell me your going to go to the bathroom, grab that dirty door handle and then go eat?

Call me OCD but I like being clean. I ALWAYS Wash my hands whether I'm at home or in a restaurant. And when I leave the restroom at the restaurant I make sure I have that paper towel with me to grab that handle.

I guess that's why I never get sick. It's August and I haven't had a cold yet this year (knock wood).

Just a simple survey:

Gender:
Age:

When you go to the bathroom, do you wash your hands when you are done and why or why not?

I am a 37 year old with a strange feeling i can't describe well, over the years, back to when i was a teenager. but more often now days as i get older. i have recently noticed it happens more around my period, i never noticed before because it was so few and far between these episodes. anyway, it's like a reminiscent feeling, strong, comes on slowly, i feel little confused and faint, but only did ONCE, and it passes in like a minute or so. i usually lay my head down and dont' wanna talk. but i am completely coherent, sp?) about what is going on around me, just feel really sublime and peaceful after wards. tired but it doesn't feel like panic, maybe anxiety? i have had problems with nerves for long time, am currently on zoloft, i have been checked out, discussed this with a few dr's. all of which think it's panic attacks. i thought those lasted a while and felt scarey?? this isn't really scarey, just almost like de javu

Sometimes my pupils (in my eyes) are drastically different in size...sometimes slightly..sometimes not at all. Is this something that just happens with some people? Has anyone else had this? I'm looking for firsthand experience. Thanks everyone :)

P.S. - I know I should see a neurologist..and I will..I'm just looking to see if anyone has firsthand experience of what this could be. Can it be benign?
