Getting pregnant is a long time paranoia/fear of mine.
I was diagnosed with a UTI last week, and wondered if they can spot pregnancy with the urine tests used to search for problems. I haven't actually had sex, but I have fooled around alot, so I'm getting really paranoid. I was on the pill for my skin, but it was making me feel crazy so after about 5 days of taking it, I stopped. I then started to bleed for about a week. This was on the 10th of August and period before that was on the 24th of July. When should I expect my next period? I think I"ve really screwed up my cycle!

It's that time of the month...my periods only come about every six months or so...my doctor said it takes a couple of years to regulate...now that I have it this month and I have it for 10 days...around the 7th day it lightened up like it was gonna stop but then it became super heavy where I have to change every hour. I talked to my doctor and she says just wait it out sense its only been 10 days but it's gotten to where I can't even sleep. Another thing is that I don't even have any other symptoms...no cramps..bloating...or fatigue...just the flow. I'm just looking for advice from someone who would know what I am going through. Should I just go to another doctor or what? Is this normal?

Ok for the last 6 mths I have had this bad "ache" in my lower right side of my stomach kinda in the groin area maybe alittle above.It comes on at least 1 time a day and it lasts for about a hour or so. I have had ultra sounds, CT's and seen MANY doctors and they can not come to a conclusion to what it could be and then I hear that there is something called Chronic Appendicitis, Had anyone had this? If so was the pain on and off for a couple mths and it seems to start after standing for a while or walking? No it's not a hernia either. ( thats what I thought) I was wondering if this could be it and it so why would it NOT show up on other tests? PLEASE HELP this is a EVERYDAY struggle. Thanks!

I suffer from panic attacks and have PTSD and I find it very hard to have a "normal" life. There are times when I get very scared and for no real reason at all. I am taking paxil right now and have taken it before. I have even tried therapy and different meds but nothing seem to work. I would like any advice anyone might be able to offer. Thanks

Since half a year ago, I stopped having meat for dinner, say after 5pm. The reason is I don't seem to be able to digest meat after that hour. Trial and error along the way, and I realise that food like bread, fish, and soluble foods are fine, but not for chicken, beef or fruits like jackfruit etc. If I do consume the latter after that hour, I get gastric reflux which I developed years ago. Can anyone identify and relate with the same condition as mine? Someone told me it's got to do with my intestines and it's cancer leading.
