... do they have more interest in sex than usual? I mean... I know sex is 80% mental, but do women feel any increased physical drive or desire to have sex during that time of the month?

I currently weigh 227 pounds and am progressing towards a goal weight of between 145-160. How terrible of a time will I have with loose skin around my abdomen? I see people who get gastric bypass and am appalled by the excess skin they have and terrified that I'll look like that (of course these people weighed a considerable amount more than I do before surgery, but it's still scary to see!) I am only doing about 50 crunches a day along with one hour a day of exercising to meet my goal weight over a span of a year. I've cut my calories I ingest down to 1,200 a day as well. Thanks for your help.

I've done a lot of looking around, and am not interested in stopping the use of condoms (that would be silly) but would feel a little safer if I knew I was drinking a tea that would render me less fertile, or something along those lines. I've done the pill, I've loathed the pill. Any good books out there? It's a touchy subject to find case study on, I've found, because many herbs are abortifacents and some people aren't okay with that, although I am...

I recently gave birth to my fourth child (he's two months old now) and had my first period. It woke me up it hurt so bad. i thought maybe i was just hungry, because the pain wasn't where it usually is from my past periods. It's more of a under the ribcage, in the middle of the abdomen pain. I noticed if I drink something carbonated it feels better, but mostly the pain just makes me sick. It went away when my period was over, but now that i've started my second one the pain is back. So what's the deal? Is it my body getting used to having periods again? (This is my second baby in two years) and if so, how long til I have normal, somewhat non-painful periods again? Ibuprofen doesn't seem to work to make it go away either, so any advice on making it feel better is most appreciated!

I have been prescribed two Xanax pills for an upcoming flight next week, one for the flight down and one for the flight back. I will be 5 months pregnant at the time of the flight and my doctor (after much research) has determined that a low dose of Xanax taken on a two time basis only, would be highly unlikely to cause harm to my baby at this stage of development. This drug is also likely lablelled the "class D" as a precautionary measure because there hasn't been a lot of research on it.

I've done a lot of research of pregnant women and sedatives and almost all have been prescribed Xanax for limited use over drugs like Valium and Adavan.

My question is that since I've never taken Xanax before (pre-pregnancy I took valium to fly), I'm not sure how soon I should take it before my flight and how long it lasts. My prescription is for two .5 mg pills (one for the flight down and one to fly back)

Also I'd love to hear positive stories from those who've taken it to fly.

Okay, well I've recently started to eat about 1800-2000 calories a day to try to gain back my weight. I have a problem though. I have been constipated and bloated ever since I started eating more. Is it normal to be constipated after anorexia? Is there something to relieve it? I have been drinking many weight gain drinks, and eating very healthy. I drink plenty of water, and get plenty of fiber in my diet now.

Please, is constipation normal? It's really annoying, and making me bloated!

I had a wreck over 9 years ago, and I never had a weight problem, now, I'm 43 and am paying big bucks to lose going to the dr. and I've lost 17 pounds in 2 months, which they say is the best...but, every week, one tells me, I'm not eating enough, or eating too much, or not exercising, or not eating little meals every few hours, ect....how does your body know if you are eating food, when you or so they say, can lose weight on say, slimfast, what is the difference in eating, vs. vitamins, vs. liquid diets????? To me, liquid diets are just the same as vitamin/mineral supplements taken with say V8...would someone tell me what to do...I have never had a weight problem, and all I can think about is food, and I know I am an emotional eater, and know why, but, I am going to lose to 120 which I weigh 175 now since I've been with the dr....I am alone, my kids are gone to college, and I want to know is there anyone out there that has this same problem.
