Ok, I understand the questions you ask are embarassing, personal and all that. I also realize alot of guys might not no an answer but is it neccisary to put "women only" on your questions. I understand that you will probably get the best answer from a women but what if a guy is a doctor or something. I mean, guys have embarassing and personal questions that might be best answered by guys too but we welcome womens opinions openly. In fact alot of girls answer mens health questions.

Okay ive been intaking 200 calories a day and burning 1000+ for the past 4 days.

I would burn a 1000 calories on the tred-mill, do 30 minutes of cardio, and tone for 15 minutes.

I know its very unhealthy, but im a boxer and i want to stay in my weight range which is 130. Im only doing this so i won't gain any weight, and i definitely don't want to loser any.

So if i keep on with this will i be losing weight or just not gaining. If i do this til my next match, which is December 5th, will i have lost any weight or still be in my weight range.

I just don't want to gain any weight, but i can't afford to lose any either.

Thanks, and no sarcasm be mature about this.

How common is it to take 5 over the counter pregnancy tests and they all turn out negative? I had a really light period last month---Im on the pill and it was brown discharge for only a couple hours.That was my complete period. t's NEVER been that light in 8 years that I have had my period. I took the test before my period, after the light period, and then 19 days after I had sex with my boyfriend. Would I know if Im pregnant by now and took all those tests?? I spaced the tests over about 3 or 4 days too but heard that the otc tests don't work.

I had my wisdom teeth out last month, thats why Im freaking out because they had me on all these meds and put me under for it, and I had sex the weekend before I did that and heard sperm can live in your for 7 days. They had me on 3 antibiotics too, but I still took my birth control like usual

What do I do if this month I skip my period or its really really light? Im so worried Im overeating and really stressed thinking about my peroid
