Every month, my period has run like clockwork. It comes between 6 and 6:30am, the day that it's due every month. I'm a week and a day late. My fiance and I always use protection, but not always correctly. I've taken two home pregnancy tests, and they both turned out negative. Unfortunately, they were left in my car for a week, and I'm afraid the cold could've damaged them. I don't have medical insurance, and I don't have any symptoms of pregnancy, at least that I know of. I have an okay diet, I get plenty of exercise, and a good night's sleep every night. I've been under tons of stress before this month, and my period always came like the sun rises. I have frequent migraines, and I went on a new diet pill about 3 weeks ago. I've quit them the day before my period was due, and the kidney pain that I was having prior to starting the pills, has returned. My blood sugar has been crazy since then too.

I hope I'm not pregnant. I pray that I am not. If anyone has advice, I appreciate it.

I've been struggling with a medical problem since December 2004, shortly after I had food poisoning from undercooked chicken, but most doctors I've seen said these are allergies with an unknown cause. Symptoms are constant eye redness, dark bluish circles under eyes, some energy loss, pain in the back of my neck and head, and constant ear popping and pain (my ears rarely stop popping, and this has been going on for months!). I've seen mostly eye, ENT and allergy doctors and I've taken a number of anti-allergy things, but the only things which have been effective in improvement have been Augmentin (875MG) and TobraDex. I've moved to a different apartment, changed clothes and furniture, changed shampoo and soaps... everything I can think of. What's the next step for me?

I am 21 years old and live in southern cali. Iwork hard as a contruction worker and comes home to nothing at home. No dinner, dirty everything and my wife jsut sits down and watches television. I must have the worst luck in my life becuase today i stubbed my toe on rebar, got into an accident and didn't have enough money for lunch. Then i get home i get out of my truck enter the house and hear loud music comming upstairs from my room. I go up there and the door is slightly jammed. I hear voices and the children are no where to be found. I opened the dorry and my wife was sitting on a guy while sucking another guy. My heart fell into a state of suspension and my eyes and mind didn't agree on what was going on. The sad thing is even though she saw me she kept going. i felt like shooting them but my body wouldn't move. What would u have done?

P.s i've already asked this question i just posted it in the wrong section so if you have answered it please don't answer again thanks

I am type 2 diabetic. My level in the morning is in the 140's, in the afternoon and evening it's in the 200's. I take metaformin 500 mgs before each meal. I've been watching my diet and still can't bring my levels down. For instance today all I ate was orange juice, bagel and cream cheese, turkey lunch meat one slice with one slice of swiss cheese without bread, apple, few pieces of watermelon, and diet cola. What am I doing wrong?

I finally found an antihistamine/decongestant that works for me and its over the counter. It's wal-mart's generic for children. I'm an adult but out of desperation I tried my kids med. and it works. Since I have congestion year round is it safe to continually take it on a daily basis?

Can anyone that's tried it tell me what they thought of it? Which tape(s) you liked the best? And what you would consider your level of fitness (beginer, intermediate, advanced)? I'm curious because I was thinking of trying it out.

I have been itching and burning on the right outter lip of my vagina and my anus has been burning also. Im on my cycle could this be the reason the inside of my vagina started to burn when i had a tampon in so i switched to pads the new kind with the wipes i was better after the tampon was out but its started again. I havn't had any discharge, odor, or burning sensation when i urinate, not burning inside of my vagina except when i had a tampon in, and im not sexually active so what could this be is it the tampons and the new pads with the wipes irritating me or is it something else this is only on the right side of my outter vaginal lip and around the anus could this be from shaving or something?

I heard that an otc pregnancy test isnt accurate when you're on the pill because of all the extra hormones. is that true?

I had a really mean dentist when I was little so now in my 30's I am still terrified of the dentist. Whenever I have major work done I have them use the gas. I would rather have a baby than go to the dentist. Anyone else feel the same way?

Hi,
I'm a 32 year old breast cancer survivor, diagnosed15 months ago. I had 4 positive lymph nodes. I had a mastectomy with lat dorsi reconstruction & 6 months of chemo & 6 weeks of radiation.

I am now feeling 'normal' again, except some operation-site body discomfort.

Of course, I have no idea if I got the cancer early enough. Maybe I'm cured? maybe there's a few specks floating around that will resurface somewhere in a few years and my life will be cut short?
I'll never know.

how do i remember to LIVE EACH DAY FULLY?
I remember at diagnosis the immense feeling of mortality and how IMPORTANT it was to live each day with purpose & meaning, but now things seem back to normal, and I'm just back to 'normal' living.
I don't like this. I want an EXTRAORDINARY life, because if my life could be shortened, I don't want to die regretting things I never did & yet I find it so hard to put that into action by DOING what I really want to do.
Please tell me what works for u. any tips?

This is in explanation to my last question - the total of my allergies seems to be misunderstood. I am actually only allergic to a couple of the foods. I am seriously allergic to the protein in eggs; I am more seriously allergic to the powdered cheese sauce that comes with pasta (I am not sure which part) and I am allergic enough to the casein in milk - another protein (and carageenen in rice/soy milk which is very similar) to cause pain that makes me unable to stand for a couple of hours. I am not allergic to pasta, food preservatives, etc. I simply am not able to swallow them as a taste/texture/ill feeling thing. I can't eat at restaurants because I get panicky wondering what they have used in the food - and cross contamination at potlucks has resulted in many reactions. I would like especially some suggestions for 'normal' food that can be eaten in place of breakfast (I used to have cereal pretty regular) and when I am stuck for something else. Thank you.

Does anybody know any harmful health effects of using Turmeric excessively? Turmeric is a spice used in Indian food and i read a lot of health benefits of using it but could not find a single site which talks about harmful effects, if used excessively. Even though I know so many health benefits of it, i wanted to know the other side of it as well (harmful effects if used excessively).

I request you to give serious answers and please do not give funny answers. I appreciate that.

I smoked about 8-12 cigarettes per day for 18 years, but three months ago I decided enough was enough and I quit cold turkey. Since the day I quit I've had no serious cravings and no withdrawal symptoms. I'm also at the point where I find smoking to be disgusting. Why was quitting so easy when other people have such a horrible battle trying to quit? Am I just lucky??
