Health - 21 January 2007

I'm 23, and I take the pill with strict discipline, I have never ever missed a single pill in over 2 years now. But lately my periods are getting shorter. Sometimes it lasts 5 to 6 days which is the normal span, 4 days, which is acceptable, 3 which is ok, but this last period only lasted almost 1 1/2 days. It was normal flow but not really heavy. I'm used to having normal periods. What could this be? Could I be pregnant? Has anyone heard of someone who got their periods every 28 days, been on the pill and still gotten pregnant? Serious question please don't write things that do not contribute. Thanks

In the last 7 months I have been eating very healthy; I've only drank water, milk, and juice for over a year; and I've been taking a good multivitamin, echinacea with vitamin C, vitamin E, and vitamins A & D every day. I take probiotics when I can remember before I go to bed; and I try to get 7-8 hours of sleep each night.
3 weeks ago I had a sore throat, and I lost half of my voice, after about a week, I was pretty much over it. then 3 days ago I started coughing and my throat got sore again, I lost almost all of my voice yesterday, and I didn't have any energy at all! I didn't even feel like moving. I've been coughing up this nasty junk. and I feel a lot better today. I know this stuff is going around like crazy, but is there anything more I can do to prevent from getting it again?

I read somewhere that if I run and do push-ups, crunches, and stuff like that, I will develop muscles OVER my fat and so I will never be able to get rid of my belly. Is that really true? I did run 1 mile every single day, for 6 months and I lost 4 inches (from 42 to 38) but no weight, so that seems to contradict the idea that I will never lose my belly! On the other hand, my belly is still at 38, instead of 28. It used to be 28 when I was 28 (18 years ago).

Any ideas what I should/could do? I want to lose 6 inches and 60 lbs. in 6 months. I am 5'7" and I weigh 190 lbs. right now. I eat very little meat (once every two weeks or so). I don't eat fried foods, and I take sugar (a spoon and a half) only in my coffee (one cup every day, 5 to 7 days a week). I am not into cookies, ice-cream, and stuff like that. I walk (not run) about a mile each day, already.

I have recently switched from using the mini-pill (Cerazette) to the depo-provera jab. I am worried about the side-effects warnings that come with depo, especially that most women experience around 5lb weight gain.
When I was taking cerazette, the only side-effect I had was stopping of my periods. If progesterone-only pills didn't have the weight-gain side effect on me, is it likely that depo won't either? Or is there no relationship between how you react to these drugs?

I really enjoy eating lemons, I ate a far bit of them in my lifetime, they are my favourite fruit. I used to have braces and I know that from eating the lemons it caused my teeth to wear down, so when I got my braces removed my teeth were all bumpy and they had to fix them further... anyway, Now, I have a weak stomach... I cannot drink any alcohol or I get really sick... I got to thinking and I was just wondering if lemons may have had something to do with this ?? lol

Thanks.

Im not sure why but any time I try to speak loudly/ shout my voice breaks up and comes out in a gruesome squeal. Im fine when talking at a normal sound level. This problem gives me trouble when ever I go to a noisy bar or nightclub, and also gives me problems when working, as I work on very noisy building sites. What type of specialist would i need to see to get this sorted?
