Before I start any inappropiate answers wil be reported.
I had the mirena UID fitted last monday, I bled for a few hours after & had cramps & was heavily spotting for 3 days. That was to be expected. After a week when I stopped spotting altogther I thought it would be ok to have sex, but after I had terrible cramp & was bleeding, is this normal? This has happened twice. & despite having sex yesterday I'm still bleeding & have slight cramp.
I know I should see a doctor if i'm worried but If it's normal I wish not to waste her time.
Any help would be much appreciated.

They moved into a big old farm house in 2003 and about a year later they started getting sick, sinusitis, bronchitis, flu, colds, viruses, stomach viruses,strep throat, ear infections, over and over and over. So last night when I talked to her she said her older one (6 yrs old) has sinusitis and the younger one (4 yrs old) was up throwing up all night. both running 103 fevers. now this after I just talked to her 4 days before and they all had strep throat and the week before that thjey were in the ER for stomach viruses, so I asked her if this could be something in her house like a mold or something and she got defensive and said "NO, we dont have mold in OUR house" but dont you think that it a little excessive for kids to be sick THAT much?

Not only do I not like to cook, but I live alone and am not a very good cook. Also, since I don't like to cook, most recipes are way too involved to make.

I went to the doctor a week and a half ago and she told me she thinks I pulled my abdominal muscles and muscles in my stomach and gave me medicine. I'm just wondering about when it will stop hurting.

An 18 wheeler hit our truck from behind, we weren't going very fast but it was still severe enough that my son and I hit our heads on the back window & broke it. I felt something hit the right side of my head & I was jolted to the front. When everything stopped, I realized that we had been hit & turned to check my 5 year old son (he just had a big bump). I looked back & saw the window broken & in that instant could not think of what broke it & hit us, but than realized that w/ the force of the accident my son & I must of hit our heads hard enough on the window that it broke. When the paramedics arrived they checked us and said we seemed fine. We decided not to go to the hospital b/c we felt fine (right now I do feel lightheaded & my back hurts) & am wondering if maybe we should go get checked out. It happened less than 2 days ago....should we go to the hospital to get x-rays of our heads or should we not. I'm worried about the long term effects. What should we do?

Is it the house, the state, their parents, or their pediatrician? If my kid were thhat sick - I'd freak and do environmental testing as well as allergen tests, but they just feed them antibiotics and move on. I knew a sickly child who actually got sick from the antibiotics, that's pretty scary. Or is it just that some kids just get sick alot?

My new years resolution is to lose the 20lbs that I put on during the last year. I have not exercised in a long time and someone told me that taking muscle milk before I excercise (I exercise about 3 times per week) would help me shed some pounds, but everything that I've read so far is about how the product builds muscle & bulk. I could use some muscle, but right now my main concern is shedding the fat. I just want to know if it is something that I should be taking.

I'm anxious to find out if I can pause my period for just a few more hours. Having heard that sex itself sometimes releases just enough hormones to perhaps accomplish this, I wanted to find out if it's just anecdotal, or if a lot of people experience this?

I have been in a sexual relationship with someone during the last 5 months. yes we are 16 years apart from each other, but thats okEverything was great, we had lots of fun and no one was getting hurt (i knew that we would never actually become "something" so i kept myself from having feelings for him) Don't get me wrong, i do care for him, and miss him but im now in a mess!At the beginning of the year i learned that he had been seeing someone since July & they were actually serious and together , she is only 1 yr older than me!He said that he never told me in the beginning because he didnt know what was going on between us, but he made the ground rules so i know thats bullshit!She doesn't know about it, & i don't think I will tell her(i know her but not close to her at all) but he still wants to have sex with me & i don't mind it, but should i just leave him alone, or should we continue?I have had the most fun in my life with this man and don't want the fun to stop! what should i do?
