I want to stay away from any hormonal methods for obvious reasons... Even the mini-pill will negatively affect milk supply. My OB/GYN suggested a copper IUD, but that is too expensive for us.
My husband and I both hate using condoms. So far, we've been relying on breastfeeding as a contraceptive (and also withdrawal) but I know that protection lasts a maximum of 6 months, and that it's not entirely reliable anyway.
So any suggestions?
(Oh yeah... My baby is 3 1/2 months old. She nurses ever 2-3 hours durning the day, and I haven't gotten my period back yet)

I've heard on one hand that they can cause infection, and on the other hand I've heard that it is very unlikely as long as you wash them and shower. Can they cause infection or health problems, and if so how can this be prevented? What are the chances that a thong can create a health issue?

times i can get so stressed it's mad.
i shake like a loony, i scream until my throat just can't take no more, i even damage my families bodies.
my mum has many large holes in her which i think is actually infected.. ugh.
my little bro who is 7 is also being pushed over because of my stressingness. we're usually very close.
i cant help but self harm to calm me down.
if i dont then i could tear down the house. it sucks tbh.
ive tried loads of different things... counting, drawing, singing, dancing and prancing, yoga, writing.. EVERYTHING.
i'm usually very calm, nice, happy... but seeing all these marks makes me so miserable...
i dont want to self harm at all, it just makes me feel miserable and ashamed.
i have tried avoiding where i can get stressed, but that's just not possible.
what can i do?
xxxxx

Ok i would like to know that if you had unprotected sex, how long would you wait for your period until you took a test. Ive been very stressed out this past month and i think thats why i missed my period. It is 3 days late. Could it just be stress. How long should i wait until i took a pregnancy test

Any ideas? I am a forty year old woman. Single mom, work full-time at a high stress job. I have tried yoga and have just started taking a supplement called "Relora." I eat a fairly balanced diet and my BMI is in the "healthy" range. Thanks! Rachel

It happened yesterday, and it doesn't hurt, but it's disconcerting, and I don't know what to do to get it out. I really don't want to go to the hostpital. any bright ideas? It's about 4 inches up there, so it's just out of reach of my fingers, but I can just barely confirm that it's still there.

The Dog Whisper says that to be healthy, happy and balanced dogs need: exercise, discipline and affection. Do you think this could apply to people, especially those with down-in-the-dumps depression?
Exercise: produces endorphins, and general over-all health benefits.
Discipline: Sticking to a course of action, or a project to raise self-esteem and give sense of pride and accomplishment.
Affection: Being loved, cuddled and praised.

I find if I'm missing one or more of those things in my life, I feel down. What's your opinion?

I've usually got a deep voice (but not that deep, as if I've got to go to the doctors or something) compared to eveyone else in my class and I seriously resent having it, as it lowers my self-esteem, and I get paranoid and worried that people will make fun of it as it has happened a few times in the past with my former class.

But in a few occassions (and only a few) when I speak to some particular people, the pitch of my voice raises and it's at a normal pitch like everyone else's and I don't know why that happens, as most of the time I speak in a low voice.

I'd really like a permanent higher pitched voice so I can speak more clearly for people to understand and to impove my confidence and relieve myself of that paranoia. And before ppl say that having a deep voice attracts girls, it doesn't in this part of the U.K, so unless you want to get poked fun at, there isn't any real advantage of having it;).

Any answers would seriously be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

Recently I filed a claim with my insurance company to pay for my Psychcology vistits and meds.

The insurance company's 3rd PARTY ADMINISTRATIVE CONTRACTORS (an outsorced entity that handles the insurance company's paperwork only) are asking me to send in my doctor's treatment notes (which are highly private), but NOT for a doctor to review, but rather for some low-level admin (non-medical person) to read and pull out various pieces of info.

Is it legal for NON-MEDICAL personel to review such highy private info about me? Shouldn't this type of medical information go straight from my doctor to the inusrance company's doctor for review; instead of being intercepted by some random low-level admin person?

Are there any privacy laws regarding such disclosures to NON-MEDICAL persons, and where would I begin to research such privacy laws regarding disclosure of my private medical records?
