I haven't had my period yet, and it's already into the next month, is that normal? But another thing is that about a week and a half before my boyfriend fingered me, and he had masturbated the night before. I couldn't be pregnant, could I? Couldn't it just be a delay?
All that's happened is that I haven't had my period, but I have been gaining weight, eating a lot, and my breasts are sore. That's pretty much it. Friendly advice and opinions are welcomed!

Everyone wants me to wear a "training bra", but I don't want to!Those are for little kids who have no boobs but want to get used to wearing a bra. I am twelve. I think i'm old enough and developed enough for a bra. I don't want to wear a stupid training bra but my mom won't let me get a real one. She says I can't get one until i'm 14! She says I'll just have to wear the training bras until then. But how can i? They give absolutely not support. They are just a thin strip of fabric that goes around your rib cage. Like the built-in thing in the cami. What should i do? All of my peers are wearing real bras.

This might sound really bad, but I'm 20 years old and I'm going to the Gyno for the first time Monday. I really don't know what kind of questions to ask and I was hopinf some of the ladies in here could help me out a little bit. I feel really dumb asking this but I really just don't know what to ask or what to do. I know the nurse set up for me to have a PAP test, and I do know what that is, but I really don't know what else to expect. Can anyone shed a little light on this for me?

What is this trend today of men shaving their pubic hair? Does it have something to do with hygiene? Is it a sexual "fashion statement"? Do we think pubic hair is ugly or doesn't belong on our bodies? What?

I think I had anorexia... but I'm over it now, did I used to be anorexic or just borderline.

First, I was 150 ibs and just realized I was fat so I exercised and cut my calories (ate on smaller plates, didnt eat pop or chips, ate less calories)... did that for about a year. I also counted my calories with a computer program (called dietPower). I ate less than 1,000 calories for about a year. Then, I weighed 100 pounds. I am 20 years old and 5'5''. I realized I was getting thinner but still believed I was fat, I had "fat rolls" etc... even at 100 ibs. I was very weak and slept most of the day and felt faint while walking. After months I just accepted that I would always have "rolls"... months later I gained 10 pounds and intend to stay at 110 pounds. I will not go any lower or any higher. I do eat normally now... 1,500 calories a day.
I did not loose my period or ever become "diagnosed" with anorexia, or ask my doctors about it... but I have been wondering... was I anorexic?

My top left canine tooth is above my incisor and there is a gap where it should be cuz i had the baby tooth pulled. its been like that for about the last ten years. My right side did it too but that one kind of went in its place better. Ive had soical anixety for the last ten years because im scared to talk to anyone cause im always scared im gonna be asked about my "fang"? I dont even have a job because I'm to scared to go to interviews. I just stay at home w/ my 7 month old 24-7. Does anyone know of procedures that can move it into place? just that tooth I'm alright w/ the rest of them. or have it pulled and a fake one put in the gap? and how much the cost would be? When i had the baby tooth pulled it was paid by my insurance cuz my dentist sent me to an orthodontist to have 3 of my baby teeth pulled.
