I am on the birth control pill and have been taking it regularly but when my cycle of pills stops on the Saturday before I am supposed to get my period, I don't get my period until 3 days later on Wednesday. I am wondering if this delay in getting your period is normal or if I should talk to my doctor about changing when I start taking my pills. Any help with this?

i'm considering this surgery, and i want to know about any drawbacks, legal stipulations, height/weight reguirements, etc.
i've been giving this a lot of thought, but i need to know more than the basics.i have a particular disorder that prevents me from menstruating, and i think this would be good for me. when i speak with my obgyn i don't want any surprises.

Sometimes when I feel the need to urinate I contract my bladder and the muscles in that region and I have a great feeling surging up my spine. Is this some kind of orgasm or what?

Please forgive my apparent ignorance, I'm still a virgin ;)

Glutamine is a supplement used for achy joints, but where do they get it from, is there a food that contains it or a plant?

Across the world some 125 million people - up to 3% of the worlds population - suffer from psoriasis, a serious skin condition that can cause debilitating discomfort and distress, I am one of these people. Approximately 23% of these people - that's 28 million - go on to develop painful psoriatic arthritis. Quality of Life (QoL) research shows that people with psoriasis have almost the same reduction in QoL as people with diseases such as cancer, diabetes, or depression. Psoriasis can even lead some patients to consider suicide as the only alternative they have.

Better diagnosis and treatment of psoriasis is needed now to alleviate the suffering of many millions of people around the world who are not getting the help they need.

I believe that the World Health Organisation (WHO) must take urgent action to recognise psoriasis as a serious disease deserving international attention. By doing so, the WHO will increase the possibilities for people with psoriasis to gain access to appropriate care and treatment.

With this in mind, please could you take your time to add your name to the online petition at

First time was about 4-5 weeks ago, took diflucan, went away for a week. Felt itchy again the following week, used monistat 3, but it only made it worse, burning, itching. Went away for a week, had sex w/ condom and now it is itchy/burning again when I pee. I am on my period now and the GYN said they can't do much when I'm on my period and to let the period "flow it out" and to use monistat, but no way am I gonna go that route again!

What to do? I bought vagisil and azo yeast pills to possible help? But why do I keep have recurring yeast infs? My GYN just said, "well some people just are more susceptible than others" Thanks that didn't help me much GYNO!

Alot of people talk about how if you don't get your children immunized that they will get sick. That is a bunch of crap because neither one of my kids were immunized and there isn't anything wrong with them. The doctors try to pursue you and tell you why they need to get them and bad things that can happen to them. Can someone tell me how injecting a child with the virus itself is benefiting a kid at all. Frankly, I think they crazy. And ask yourself, why are they pushing vaccinations so much? They cause more than they cure!
