I started on Desogen about a month ago, this is the first period I'm experiencing since starting the pill. I got my period last Wednesday, and it hasn't stopped yet. As of yesterday, the bleeding got heavier -- should I contact my doctor or is this a normal side effect from beginning packs of pills?

So I have been struggling with these warts for about 8 friggin' years. Yeah they're stubborn. I have tried Cryo-therapy from the doctor (about $500 per visit) which I cannot afford. I have tried Aldara (about $180 per prescription refill), which did nothing for them, except making them considerably more sore. Recently I started using the Compound W FreezeOff since it's about $20 a can (way cheaper than the doctor visit) and Tea Tree oil in between freezings. Although the treatment is working it's like trying to dig a ditch with a teaspoon...very slow going....and excruciating to boot. Does anyone know of a treatment that works, is less painfull, and doesn't cost a fortune? All of the physicians that I have encountered in my area not only don't know (the first one told me that it was "skin tags" and not to worry about it... delaying treatment for 3 yrs) but also like they could care less. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

It appears that the hospital is doing this to save on disposal fees. Any opinions? Is it any worse than having an abortion in the first place?

I seem to have problems concentrating. It has had a serious effect on driving (I keep getting distracted and as a result, failed my practicle test 5 times) I find myself driving along and going 'OOh whats that big white thing?'. I also feel its had an effect on my eductation, I can never 'knuckle down' and get some serious work done, i just get distracted all the time.

Is this a real medical condition? I would feel happier if I had a proper excuse for being so bad at some things...

Since I started my new job, I spend most of my day sitting in an office chair, which happens to be leather. I've noticed a rash appearing on my butt lately and I'm just curious if that could be the case. Any ideas?
