Health - 22 October 2007

Had sex and started my period a few days earlier than expected.Did not have any clots or anything, just some bleeding, cramping and lasted only 4 1/2 days. My period quit but I still have cramps off and on, my back hurts and my boobs are still sore. Plus I've been very gassy, hungry and I have to pee a lot. My fiance even noticed that I had a stronger smell and that my vagina seemed a lot warmer than normal. Is it possible I'm pregnant?

I take NyQuill but my folks say it is going to destroy my insides. I guess I should just watch TV or something but I am afraid that my insomnia will come back (been gone for about 6 months but I am scared it will return). Any tips or tricks or am I ok with the NyQuill??

If I eat so much as a single orange section, my whole mouth tingles and stings within a few seconds. It starts on the roof of my mouth and then spread to the rest of my mouth. This has happened to me since I was a child. Weird thing is I am not allergic to other citrus fruits such as lemons, limes or grapefruit.

Realizing, of course, that it is best to limit fried/fast food completely, which is worse for your body: if I was to eat 4x a week but stick with a small burger and fries (burger sat 6, trans 0.5; fries sat fat 4, trans 1) or just to eat once a week but get fries, onion rings, and fried chicken (fries sat 16, trans 6; onion rings sat 4.5, trans 4; fried chicken sat 4.5, trans 3).

In this example, I would end up with more saturated fat (40 vs 25) but less trans fat (6 vs 13) by eating fast food MORE often.

So, essentially, my question is: what is it that makes fast food so undesirable? Is it the amounts of times you eat there, or the amount of bad fat that you ingest per visit, that is the real problem?

I am taking Portia birth control. I missed one dose and took it the next day. That was last week. I ended up getting my period on last Monday (I forgot the pill Sunday). I had it for about 2 days. Then it went away. I got it again on Thursday and Friday, then it went away. Well, I got it again today. I took a pregnancy test yesterday afternoon and it came back negative. Please help! Has anyone else gone through this? Could I be pregnant? I forgot to take my birth control before, but this has never happened. Thank you for reading!

My friend is 27, and has had one child 4 years ago. She is 5'4", 108 lbs, and a 34B. She is single and has not been sexually active for several months. She last had her period 2 weeks ago.

She has complained of tenderness or soreness of both breasts for about 6 weeks. In the last 2 weeks, there is also some swelling. A self exam didn't reveal any lumps. The tenderness is clear through both breasts, and there doesn't appear to be any single spot that is more sensitive than the whole.

So ruling out pregnancy because of the period and lack of sexual activity, what are some possible causes of tenderness and swelling for someone her age and size? Has anyone ever experienced something similar?

There are alot of people asking if it works for newly formed stretch marks, but I only have old ones. I know that the only thing that will make them disappear completely is surgery, but will Mederma (or anything else) make several years old stretch markes less noticable?

They range from very small to MASSIVE.

There is an infomercial for a belt you put on and it works your abs and hardens your stomach. It is called the slendertone. It is supposedly better than any of the other belts out there and this one is the only fda approved. Has anyone used this one and does it work?
