I'm a couple days late for my period and I've been on a steady 21 days cycle for 3 months now. I have a few symptoms of pregnancy like lower abdominal cramping that has been occurring for a few weeks now, my hips hurt like they are being pushed apart from each other, and the color around my nipples is getting darker. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex during the days I was most fertile and ovulating, but I've taken 5 pregnancy tests and they have all come out negative. What does this mean? Why am I late, experiencing symptoms and not getting a positive result. The suspense is killing me. I know that the test says your HCG levels need to be high enough to register, but how long could that take? Is my best bet to go to the doctor at the end of the week if I still haven't gotten my period and have them do a blood test?

If I stand up for any prolonged amount of time (maybe 30 minutes), my lower back begins to ache and becomes weak. Are there any suggestions as to best alleviate the pain and to prevent from happening again? I want to use a trip to the Chiropractor as a last resort.

Do they really help or is it just some money-making scam? How much does a bottle cost on average?

My sister is suffering from serios kidneys problem with >90% cells died. She has been installed a tube on her body for "internal body washing". I believe it is to replicate original function of her kidneys. After few months, her immue system seems to perform too good which results in high APO index. As a result, doctor has given her steroid. It seems that the only cure for her is kidney transplant.

Recently, a friend has introduced to us Nutrilite products. We were told that this is actually food supplement which could help to build up body strength, to repair internal imbalance condition, etc.. Unlike medicine which could cure only symptoms, this kind of food supplement could help to resolve fundamental health problem.

Any comment on the concept? Any comment on the said Nutrilite products?

I have gynecomastia.I am 23
I don't remember since when,since as a kid I did'nt
understand these things.I realized this
problem when I was 12.I have been obese and
overweight since childhood.
A plastic surgeon told me this can be cured by
surgery

I wish to avoid surgery
reason 1 --weakening my body
reason 2-- complicated surgery--doc said so
reason 3-- expensive surgery

I am thinking of getting a proper figure by
exercise.(i.e becoming trim and fit)---for the whole body
Then let me see whether the breast part remains.
please recommend exercises that will help in my
case;it shud not worsen the situation
Is it possible by exercise?

Also
Suggest cures in alternative medicine like
homeopathy,accupuncture,accupressure,ayurveda, etc
PLEASE GUIDE ME.I WANT TO GET CURED
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANKS

my fiance thinks i might have a cold sore but im not sure. its on my mouth in the corner. and this is i think the second time ive gotten on in the past few weeks. its always when im at my mother in laws house and my allergies are bothering me and my lips are really chapped, and i have a habit of picking the dead skin off my lips. is it true cold sores are std's? i've only been with the same guy for the past couple years. could it have anything to do with being on birth control...like a side effect or something conteracting with other meds? what can i do to stop this? whatever it is?

I love this beautiful, wonderful woman and I know the feelings are mutual, but it seems like she won't let herself experience or express that feeling. She is really not commited to anything in life. She works hard, but I really think it's only to try and forget that she is avoiding commitment. I am just wondering if anyone can shed light or share experiences on fear of commitment. How does it manifest itself? Has anyone had success dealing with it? I want to hope, but I don't really know what I'm getting into. I know I can't change her or help her unless she asks for it. I am just hoping to set some reasonable expectations for myself if I choose to pursue this further.

I've been going through months of emotional and mental stress with three different problems I'm trying to iron out. For the past two weeks, I've been feeling a deep-down physical exhaustion from all the stress. Vitamins aren't helping with the exhaustion and tiredness. Any suggestions besides spending money going to the doctor?

I'm on birth control. I recently got my period and (this is detailed) something passed through me that was definitely not the regular consistancy of blood. It was a clump that was thick, gooey (grosse, I know), and looked like blood. Could it have been a blood clot passing through? If not what could it have been?
