I am a 30 year old married woman who had two cycles on depo, the first was in my late teens for 18 months and the seconded in my early-twenties for 3 years. I have been off depo for over 3 years- however my cycle have not returned to normal. I have had a total of 4 cycles since the depo should have cleared from my system. All of those have been in the last 16 months. There has also been one period of spotting just resently. My husband and I are now ready to add to our family again, however we are having difficulty due to the irregularity of my cycles or lack there of.
Has anyone else experienced difficulty in returning to regular cycles and/ or conceiving post depo? Is there anything I can do? Is there anything that can regulate my cycle aside from the pill( it makes me very ill)? Thanks so much for your help everyone

I hate even talking about this. I'm prepared to go back to my doctor soon. I'm already on nose sprays that are not working. Anyway, here's my problem. Forgive me if it sounds disgusting.

For the past 3 years, Yes 3 years I have suffered with the left side of my nose constantly feeling stopped up. No matter how hard I blow most of the time nothing comes out. If anything does come out it is always clear, thick and almost like slime ( the kind you buy the kids to play with) It holds it form really well. Almost like it doesn't want to breakdown. It's always clear and very thick also. I am constantly clearing my throat as well. I bet I do it over 200 times a day.

On rare occasions I can get some to come out by blowing, but within minutes I feel like there is something in my nose again. Someone suggested I try musinex. I'm just curious as to what this may be. Last year I blew really hard and was freaked out by what came out of my nose. It was a glob the size of a half dollar. HELP!!

My tibia(bone area on the inner side of my calf) has ALWAYS hurt me for about 5 years or so. It all started when I was in high school in cheer leading, with all the gymnastics and running, im sure thats how I hurt it. But anyways, ever since then when I run(sometimes when I just walk) the pain comes back and its really hard to walk afterwards. And its always super sensitive to touch or put any kind of direct pressure on it. I once got xrays done but they didnt find anything, but I just dont think its "nothing". I hate it because I love running and exercising (if I didnt I would gain so much weight), so I dont want to have to stop. Does anyone know what this could be? I dont know if this helps any, but in HS I had an eating disorder and still exercised alot, im healthy now, but couldn't that have contributed to a bone injury?

I removed my cpn from my case for very good reasons! I requested a new cpn. My old cpn continues to turn up at my door and phone me constantly. Over twenty times since I put in my request. I have heard nothing about a new cpn and this is over 3 weeks later. Help, what should I do? This situation is making my position worse.

I'm not even 40 and I have not recovered from having my prostate removed. My surgeon told me to give it a year, but it has been two years and most of my sexual function is gone. I can not experience orgasm or ejaculation. Prior to this surgery I had my left testicle removed (they thought I had cancer, but I didn't). I'm on testosterone replacement therapy and I have sexual desire, but the problems is I can't do anything with sexual tension. I admit. I just end up crying. I don't know how to deal with this. I would do anything to have the ability to feel pleasure again. Anyone has been through similar issues? If you have similar problems, how do you deal with it. What about depression? I know I have a lot of issues going on, but any help or comments would be appreciated.

If I keep eating the foods I like just half the amount I usually eat, though I don't way over eat to start with and start incorporating fresh veggies and fruits into my diet. Stop drinking soda altogether and drink lots of water which I have already been doing for a few weeks (drinking the water not the soda thing). Excersise about 1-2 hours a day, every other day or as often as I can. I am not trying to get healthy, I just want to lose weight and I am looking to lose about 30 lbs, do you think I could possibly lose atleast 15 lbs in 2 months?

I been researching healthy ways to lose weight but I dont know if I am setting myself up for success or a big failure? If you have any extra tips to improve my plan please tell me.

CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation when you are hours away from the nearest medical treatment facility) 8.27.2007

The chest compressions are more important than the mouth to mouth; the chest compressing keeps the heart pumping and the blood flowing.

The formula is two mouth to mouth breaths about one second long after tilting the head up and making sure the airway is open; then compress the chest with the heel of your hand thirty times in eighteen seconds using a fast and firm motion (let the chest rise after the compression), repeat the sequence. Keep these efforts going until professionals arrive to take over. My problem was remembering how many compressions we are supposed to do in a given length of time. Write this on your fishing, jogging, biking, camping log or wherever you see it often and please attend a certified CPR class for important details.. Sunday’s Parade supplied details, my memory tip is:
1, 2 + 30n18 = CPR (CPR simple as 1, 2, 3)

I was diagnosed with Achilles Tendinitis, and was given meds and told just rest when it happens and what not.. More recently, it's been hurting a lot, even traveling up to my calf! The other night I was on tip toes trying to reach something when I felt the back of my ankle tear.. gross! I made an appointment with the doc, but what is the normal procedure for this besides painkillers and rest? Has anyone else had this problem or situation happen to them? How did your doc go about it?

I mean as we age the whole shape of the face changes, mostly the face becomes so round because of the fat. While the actresses and all, even though they are aged their face seem to stay the same, the same shape. How do i make sure that i dont gain fat on my face as i age?

please read this. Its a serious question.
o.k, me and my boyfriend had sex 2 days ago. He's slept with different girls before me, but he doesn't seem to have any STD.
this is my second time to have sex (i lost my virginity with some other guy)
The first time me and this guy.. (the guy who i'm now dating) had sex nothing happened, after 3 days, we had sex again and since then i've been having trouble to pee, and my vagina itches a lot and it hurts, but you cant see anything like bumps or anything...It worries me, because when i lost my virginity nothing similar happened. (i know it sounds gross, but i need help)
