What happens if you forget to take one a day..should you take two the next?

Do you have to take the pill at the EXACT time or can the time be a little off by like 30 min?

I am at the stage in my life where EVERYTHING is changing...friends, schooling, career, living situation. I feel in over my head. I'm so used to living with the people I know and I'm comfortable with but soon I will be leaving them and going to a whole different area. I'm scared, intimidated but for some reason I'm scared of being by myself. So I guess what I'm asking is whats the best way to keep my spirits up and optimistic?

I'm a healthy 15 year old girl with very, very fine hair and for some reason i'm losing WAY too much of it! When it started we (my parents and I) thought it was iron related because i was a vegitarian so i began to eat meat again and it stopped for a little bit but nows it's happening again?? Any other tips on how to keep extremely fine hair healthy would be appreacitated

I know its normal to lose about 100 hairs a day or something like that, but i'm losing more than that...

Alright im OBVIOUSLY getting it from my boyfriend, anytime we have sex without a condom ( just for a little bit ) a couple days later i start to get BV again. And i know im right cause this has happened acouple times and i got a Prescription for it.. and it worked yes. But i have it again and its slowly comming back. ill go to the walkin and get a new Prescribtion.. but my question is...

For my boyfriend... how can i treat him? If i were to get the same prescription for him would that work? do men have to take the same type as well? Theres no ifs ands or buts about him passing it to me ... its quite obvious. A doctor told me "he will have to be treated as well, and you guys willhave to take the prescription at the same time/together"
p.s. i know its not REALLY possoble for men to get it but i dont know any other name for it for men ahah.

10points to best awsner! thanks!

I need to contact either careline or childline. But I can't use the house phone or my mobile because it would come up on the bill and i haven't got any credit on my mobile. I need to speak to someone because I have felt so unhappy and my mum shouts at me all the time and slags me off. She snaps at me for everything even though sometimes it is my brother's fault. He goes out so he does not have to get told off and coz i am there my mum shouts at me and says i am useless and i have nothing about me and i am thick. I tried talking to my mum about me feeling depressed but it has not made any difference. She blames me for everything and i am scared of her. Please help. What is the number for childline and how cn i call them?

But I feel there is more, like what to expect, what should i do to prepare myself mentaly and physically, how long will the procedure be, etc.. I just want some other imputs that maybe someone out there didnt ask but wished that they did. Please give my any advice, and nothing stupid like you shouldnt do this and all the scary you could die stories, keep those to yourself because i have done my research and thats why I am asking for help on some questions I should ask.... thank you for any help

I'm not suggesting eating youghurt INSTEAD of brushing your teeth. Brushing and flossing are OBVIOUSLY the best approach to taking care of your teeth.

But there are times when you're on the go and can't stop, etc., when you need a snack or light lunch during the day. I think youghurt might be not just safe to eat but more beneficial to my teeth than other foods.

The bacteria in yoghurt are supposed to thrive in acidic environments. Decay-causing bacteria excrete acid, which cause decay. I realize they're not necessarily the same acid.

Would the bacteria in unsweetened yoghurt compete with, displace, overwhelm, kill or otherwise counter the presence of decay-causing bateria on the teeth...?

Has any research been done on this...? How significant is the difference...?

(I specify unsweetened because sugar would remain long after you swallowed most of the youghurt bacteria.)

Please cite your sources. Thanks to all serious answers

It usually hurts after I sit for a while... so nothing new... but this couple of days, it is as soon as I am sitting, 1 minute later it hurts!
Instead of being the lower back (I usually have pain in the lower back with the sitting position) it is the upper back (so painful)

I swim, I bike, I am super active. but I do have an office job, and I can't stand the sitting position.

Any suggestion most welcome!
Thank you!
