That's when a woman says she's on birth control, but she's not, and she wants to get pregnant from guy who thinks he's safe with her. Or when a guy pokes holes in a condom or diaphragm because he's ready to be parent, but he his partner isn't. And lots of other stuff like that.

I think it's really terrible! What about you?

I work in one of the most stressful places...prison. The department that I work in makes me very stressed and to the point of anxiety attacks. It seems like everything I do isn't good enough for my supervisor or my boss. I just got my six month review, and they're extending my probation another 90 days; telling me that I basically do nothing. I feel I work my butt off. Anyhoo, I went to see my therapist this past week. In a nut shell, she told me that I'm oversensitive and that I over exaggerate things. Oh, and I make excuses.
Basically, I'm asking you all what would you do in my shoes. Stay with the job or seek another job within the department? I don't know what to do, and not sure how to go about it. Just typing this makes me wonder what I should do. Any help?

I am sixteen years old and my doctor told me that my cholesterol was high because it was 205. She said anything below 200 is ideal. I became pretty concerned and confused because I run daily and follow a very healthy diet. This "bad" news traumatized me slightly. I don't understand how my cholesterol level can be high if I'm normal weight (93 pounds, and I'm 5'1) and I eat healthy and exercise daily?? Can anyone explain any possible reason(s)?

I'm scared I might have some sort of STD. Ok, here are the events of the last week. One night, I ended up hooking up with a guy in a bar. A few days later, I spent the night with one of my friends. I used condoms both nights. Two days after I was with my friend, we hooked up again but did not use a condom. My friend is very large, so it really hurt a lot in certain positions, but not so much in other positions.

So now I have little, red bumps/sores? on my vagina. My vagina and my anus hurts. It's difficult just to go to the bathroom. I also have A LOT of vaginal discharge, it's a light color. Which sucks because I need to go to the bathroom a lot to change my pantyliners (i wear more than one because of the discharge.)

Ok, those are all the details. I'm gonna see the doctor in a few days, but the curiousity is killing me. And please don't judge me, I realize I've done things I probably shouldn't have.

I was wondering if someone could help me with this - my child is getting the adult teeth (front top tooth in particular). The new tooth that is just starting to come in is fairly yellowed with opaque white spots on it. What is this and how do children get it? Does it go away on it's own or is there something we need to do?

1. I have a bicornuate uterus
2. I have low amniotic fluids
3. My placenta is "fully aged" [?]

So I had an ultrasound appointment today [I normally have them every 2 weeks].. Well my Specialist took one look at the ultrasound and shook his said saying, "No, no.. Her placenta is fully aged. Put her on monitoring" and walked out.. So the ultrasound technician said now I'm on monitoring.. Which means I have to drive out of town twice a week to get an ultrasound at some special place.. I think it's like a half an hour away.. Not that bad.. But should I be freak out?? I mean, I have my specialist/ultrasound visits every other week, my regular OB visits every other week, and now these out of town ultrasound visits twice a week??? It seems a little excessive to me, is something wrong?? What does it mean my "placenta is fully aged"??? My baby is only 4 lbs right now.. I'm so scared he will be born too early and have poor lungs, deformed body parts and grow to be short... HELP

Hello my name is Eric. Im 16 years old and my dad is currently diagnosed with PAPILLARY THYROID CARCINOMA, which is Thyroid Cancer.

I have a few questions that are an EMERGENCY.
Here is the story...

-My dad (48) has had this lump in his neck for a few months (tumor) we had no idea what is was so we did not care. a few weeks after i looked it up in the internet and i didnt find anything, he went to the doc anyways and had the tumor removed. then we found out it was a tumor...from the Thyroid Gland...then the doctor told him he had Thyroid Cancer and nothing else..he told my dad to go to a specialist because my dad has to go work out of town....1000miles for 4-5 weeks...so he went to the specialist to see if it was a problem to go out-of-town.

The doctor then did almost nothing and said it did not matter if he left hte Cancer alone for another 4-5 weeks.
Today my mom asked me to investigate how true this was..she is really scared that somehting might happend to my dad...What?

I just took a couple of extra pills, and I had a seizure. Usually more is better and a couple of extra pills shouldnt make one vomit. I dont understand why just a coulple of more pills would make one sick. Two extra pills should make one feel better and not sick.

I'm on my last week of my birth control pills (yaz), which i'm on because the doctor's THINK i have over active hormones. Two weeks ago I got strep throat and my doctor gave me Avelox to treat it. About 2 hours after I took my first pill (avelox) I got really horrible cramps and started bleeding..a period? I dont know. Along with the bleeding and cramps I got a yellow-brown jelley like substance come out but only twice. I am STILL bleeding and have the horrible cramps. If this is a period then it is the second one this month and I dont know why its lasted two weeks instead of the normal 5days. I'm really worried and would like to know whats going on. Did the avelox counter act my birth control? Should I start over with a new pack of yaz? Please help. Thanks.

I have been quite thin for about 8 months now, I just sort of lost my appetite and that combined with stress has made me a bit thinner than I would like to be. Anyway, my boobs were always a C cup but now they pop out more and they actually DROOP more now. Is this because I lost weight or did they just start drooping? I'm 21.

So if I want my breasts to look normal again do I have to gain weight? Any exercises I can do?

Hulda Regehr Clark claims to have found a cure for cancer and all over diseases, but you have to buy medicinces and 'zappers', which must keep being used ( and bought ) in order to keep yourself healthy. Many people say it works but itsn't officiall for
if it was, a lot of money would be lost. What do you guys think about it? real or just another scam?
