My last period started on 1st June. My cycles vary from 28 to 42 days. I had unprotected sex with fiance on 15th July and I suspect that my period was due around this time because I developed a spot on my chin, which always occurs a few days before (!). The period never came and since then I've been tired, bloated, and urinating more often (but could this be that I'm looking for symptoms??) Last week I had cramps every day, mildly at first for a few minutes then a little stronger during one night. My question is, as I only had sex just over 2 weeks ago but have missed the period, when is a good time to test?

I have been on antibiotics more days in the month of July than not. Now open to any herbal, alternative means for help. Don't want to go to the doctor again, only to be put back on antibiotics, as this is the reason Staph and MRSA are spreading into the community. Thanks.

would you mind telling me medications you are trying....are you on one or a combo

I'm seeing my doctor today and need to change my meds, I need some meds to discuss the advantages with him. In the past when he has tried to change my medicine he goes way backward....like only treating the anxiety, or only the depression and unfortunately it's the proper treatment for me.

I'm not new to anxiety...had it all my life...last year at 27 was finally brave enough to ask for help.

for the critics...when the meds are working well for your body...you feel like yourself all the time...not that you don't get sad or angry or fearful, but it's so much more managable
the meds I have tried before either didn't work at all or exasperated my social anxiety ( which is my worst issue), by making the depression and gad controlled

i'm kinda of rambling...I'm seeing him very soon...thanks

I had gone into a chatroom about 2 months ago and began talking with this "boy" named keith who said he was 16. which is 3 years older than I am, but I have friends who are 16 so I didn't think anything of it.

I had been contacting him since then, and we were talking and I really liked him a lot, he was sweet, and listened to my problems, and he cared about me. I'm going through a hard time right now with me family, and he was so nice, I always enjoyed talking to him.

he made a slip-up and told me that he has a job at UPS...I researched it and apparently you have to be 18 to apply. I confronted him about this and he admitted that he was 19. It turns out that he had been having sexual fantasies about me, so I severed all communication between us.

but now I'm so sad, and I can't stop crying. please, someone just tell me it was the right thing to do.
I am so scared he might have hurt me.

I got really sick last year and my teeth went bad fast - I brushed really good, but I was quite critically ill (adrenal insufficiency and pancreatitis) - doing better now.

so they are going to do partials for my top and bottom BUT my bite is terribly out of line and they are doing the partial based on my current bite which is terribly out of line, and basically the problem is my lower jaw is too far forward.
if you have a partial, can they still fix your jaw and bite problems? Would I want to do that?
I actually do want to do that. My jaw hurts all the time. I want relief.
does this make any sense?
how do they do that then? do they put braces on your partials? I'm scheduled to get this done like tomorrow, should I cancel my appointment and not to the partial? (They already took out 7,10 and they are supposed to take out 8,9 tomorrow). I can't believe I got in so much trouble.. even if they do that my bite really needs to be fixed, my jaw hurts all the time.

I am reasonably self confident. I am a reasonably succesful salesman, and would like to increase this to super self confidence. What I mean is I can put the act on and project self confidence, but i dont really feel it.

Also, I worry a lot about my reputation and how I am percieved at work. I know Im a decent guy and a good worker, but I always lose my self confidence and get very nervous around senior management.

Help me end this crisis and make me relaxed and confident.

Ok, I'm not one of those shallow little ditzy teens who are all "Oh my god I need to like lose some weight before school cause I'm like, not skinny." I'm actually overweight and I want to diet and exercise for my heath in the future. I know how to eat right and all of the rules with it, but I don't know exactly what I should do to help my anemia. My mother is just retarded and refuses to buy me my prescription for an iron supplement (sorry Mom, but come on). I've been taking Vitamin C to help with metabolizing my iron, but this has never been enough and it seems I just always remain anemic (I have been since birth).

Any tips on motivation to eat right and eating for my anemia are greatly appreciated. I'm willing for this to take a while, the main issue is that I get to my healthy weight. My boyfriend already did some research for me but I want to get as many opinions as possible.

The Stats:
Age: 16
Height: 5' 4"
Weight:152 lbs
Vitamin C Intake: 500mg/12 hours

im 14 and i have really dark circles under my eyes! i am going on holiday for 2 weeks to cornwall on thursday (2 days away!!) and as i cant wear makeup during the day (it will just wash off in the sea) i cant cover them up. i also have really pale skin so i look sooo gaunt and awful without makeup... i am currently putting on fake tan but i really could do with getting rid of the dark circles. i am going to bed early tonight but for some reason my body never seems to think i need mre sleep as even if i go to bed at 10 or 11 at night, i still usually wake up between 8 and 9 in the morning.. and this seems too early as it has resulted in tired dark circles. it also takes me around 2 - 3 hours to get to sleep at night and if i wake up earlier than i would have liked, i cant get back to sleep! has anybody got any idea on how to get rid of them (quickly) or how to fall asleep quickly? I REALLY NEED HELP OR I WILL LOOK AWFUL ON HOLIDAY! thanks xx

Sometimes I get overwhelmed with the feeling of being very cold, even though it may be warm outside or in. When I feel the cold coming on I get extremely sleepy to the point it’s near impossible to keep my eyes open. My body evens starts to feel a little numb and weightless like I took a muscle relaxant, sedative, or a lot of cold/flu medicine.

Does anyone have an idea as to what might be causing this? It happens every so often. I am going to visit the doctor but thought I’d ask anyway. Thanks.

An odd question, but stay with me: I haven't had any health insurance for 7 years. Now, finally with a wonderful new job, my excellent health insurance benefits start tomorrow. There is so much that I need. When should I go to the doctor? I'm posititive they will find little things that I have had for a long time, but done nothing about - will they determine it to be a pre-exsisting condition? I mean, if I go the first day of my insurance, they will know that I had this medical condition before my insurance was in place - does that make a difference? I don't know how it works. Thanks!
