Ok, here it goes. My fiance and had sex in August and the condom broke. Nothing happened though. Well i had a normal period in September, lasted the normal length came on on time. Well my period is due for Saturday. I have some light pink spotting now. My breast are sore a little, and my back hurts. I feel very bloated and i am constipated, i am a little moody. Can this be that my period is getting ready to come on? Cause after my period in September, i took a test and it came out negative. Plus I have been a little depressed because my fiance is gone to boot camp. Is this normal?

My dad, my brother and I all suffer from (I don't know the technical term),cracked skin, like small razor cuts on fingers and sometimes the toes, when the weather changes here in Fl. It is EXTREMELY painful, and takes days and days to heal just like any wound. All 3 of us are in diff. lines of work (dad's retired). My mom, other brother & sister aren't affected.
We have tried everything, year around, to try to find a solution. I've done oil bathes faithfully, hand-cream every night, gloves on, gloves off, udder creme, crack creme.....you name it....I've tried it!
And still, already 2-3 weeks ago, the humidity went down, temp. dropped to high 60's(at nite!), and BAMM. 3 cuts. I used to love this time of year so very much and now all I seem to do is think about is the pain of going through another 6-7 months of this again.
I first remember this happening on a trip with my husband to the NC mountains in the mid-80's. In Dec.
Thanks for any insite

I've grown such a belly that people think I am pregnant, it embarrases me a lot! It looks worse, because I am very thin, the only fat part of my body is my belly! I need advice on how to lose this fat, pronto! I can't even wear tight shirts anymore. The thing is my schedule is so full, I'm so busy, I have no time to go to a gym.

I started doing abs, but people told me, if I did, the fat would get hard and I would never be able to get rid of those lovehandles. So I stopped, because they told me I needed to burn the fat first, before I did any abs...! Is this true???

I don't want to take diet pills, and I hope no harsh diets. The problem is I have a very sweet tooth, and love junk food and I drink lots of soda!

HELP!

I am not sure, but what they told was either fat got hard, or the muscles (by doing abs) would trap the fat and preventing it from dissapearing

Is it bad if I consume less calories than the amount I use?

I am going to try out Wellbutrin. But I am worried if it will cause me constipation. I don't like getting constipated.

Is it common side effect?

Since I can remember, once I got my adult teeth, I've always had divets in the front top two teeth, close to the gums. It doesn't go all the way across the tooth, it's in the very front middle where the teeth come together. I'm not sure if it's enamel or maybe lack of proper nutrition as they were growing in, but it seems to be increasing over time. You can't tell unless you're up close and looking for it, my teeth appear to be normal, but when you feel them and look closely you can see visible (for lack of better terminology) "worn places" in my front two teeth, as though someone sanded them down a bit or something. They're just as smooth as regular teeth, no extra sensitivity or anything. Any ideas as to what may have caused this? Better still, can it be fixed? If so, how much does that generally cost? Thanks for your help!

I know this is weird, but I have to know. Since having kids, I have found that when I go poop, not all the poop comes out. I have realized that there is a "pocket" in my rectum that doesn't go straight to my anus. Even with pushing not all the poop comes out. I can still tell there is poop in there. Does anyone else have this or know what this is? How can I get it corrected? Is there a way to correct it without having to go to a doctor? Thanks for reading. I didn't know who else to ask.

I am in my twenties. Well until some months back i wold get menstrual cramps only once in 3-4 months but now every month, on the first day of my period i get very bad cramps. From the time i started my periods till some months back i have never experienced this kind of regular pain. Other aspects of menstruation are normal except the pain part. What could be the reason. Don't think it's an infection as i fell ok rest of the time.
