I've been on birth control for about 3 months now (Femcon Fe). I have ALWAYS gotten my period smack middle of a week during the active pills, and NEVER during the week of the sugar pills. I have had my period now for about a week, and it dosen't look like it's stopping. My doctor said to start taking 2 pills a day (one at reg. time and one before bed.) Is this ok?!

Ok, so my boyfriend and I were fooling around a little bit this afternoon and our "areas" were rubbing against each other. My underwear were a little damp and he said he had a very small area on his boxers that was a little wet. I'm on the pill, but I'm just curious if anything could happen as far as pregnancy? I've been on the pill since July. He never came inside of me, so I was wondering what the chances were that anything bad could happen...? thanks!

Jill weighs 160 pounds but is now on a weight reduction plan to loose an extra average of 1.5 lb per week.

Her brother weighs 108 pounds but is on a weight gain plan to gain an average of 2.5 pounds per week.

After how many weeks will they both weight the same?

Hes much older than me ,im 25, my cousin-he is 50,hes married, no kids. im starting my career, i never had much to do with him, he lived 5 hours away, was never friendly or tried to get to know me, just one of those fake family members who you see only x-mas, thanksgivng. I tried being friendly by sending him friendly emails, no response. Asked him to call me when he watches a movie i reccomennded, he says"oh your phone is always busy" i say leave a message, he sayd "oh",, offered him , his wife and their 12 yr old niece free tickets and backstage passes to justin timberlake show,, his 12 yr old niece told me she loves justin timberlake so i offered..
i never got a reply back..then i asked him what happened, he says"oh it was too far"

(I told them earlier i could arrange since my bfrnd works in entertainment biz, they said "oh yes wed love that")

I also brought him really nice christmas gifts every year, last year he said "why r u buying me nice gifts"? I said well i know what u like, he said "umm but still why"?

So now i got a new job in a great position, he asked me last i saw him "hows work", I said great mentioned my new job and all the traveling im doing now"
He didnt smile, he says "Well what r u doing when u travel"? I explain to him, then he says very stern INTIMADATING WAY "Umm are traveling to Washington too"? I said no just LA,
I thought it was weird question, then he stares me down and says nothing.
Now my Mom says he called her and wants to know the exact street I work on and she told him.

Whats up with him? and weird? rude?

the reason i was friendly is cause my Mom says hes so nice and her fav nephew, thought maybe there was something wrong with me, so i reached out to him
i think she doesnt know him well

Im feeling really stupid and disrespected by him

My vitamins say

" TAKE 2 pills TWICE daily."

Does that mean I have to take a total of 4 pills in one day?

or does that just mean I take 2 pills in one day?

please help

Someone told me that if you drink a glass of unsweetened grapefruit juice with each meal you will lose fat. Is that true? (they said they lost 12 pounds in 6 weeks) Any research to back it up?

For the past few weeks, people have really started to get on my nerves. I have said it to myself over and over that I rather be with animals then people. I'm annoyed when people almost slam into me with their car because they are talking on their cell phone, smoking a cigarette and totally not caring about what is going on around them.

People piss me off. Is it me, or are people becoming more insensitive and not caring about others? I get upset reading the news and hearing about another gang shooting (I don't read the news anymore).

The last thing to really be hurtful is someone from work telling me that I gained wt., and suggested I look into gastric bypass surgery (I weigh 150)

I have so much vented anger---I feel anxious and I am afraid I am going to go off on someone.

I am usually really easy going and things like this don't bother me----so what is wrong with me?

I have recently found out that I am fructose intolerance. I have to eliminate all fructose in my diet in order for my chronic pain to leave. The dietician gave me a list of foods that I can and can't eat, and sucrose (table sugar) was allowed. However, I was looking on many medical websites, and they said that you should stay away from sucrose. Does anyone know if I can or can't eat it? Thanks!

Okay, so I already have Bigeminal PVCs. Chest Pain everyday (sharp, little stabs). That, sadly, is normal for me. I am 20, not overweight, relatively healthy I would say.

Today however, I have a new feeling in my heart. It kind of tickles and is really irritating. I don't like it. I don't know what it is but I want it to stop. Is this something worth seeing the doctor for? I'm tired of going and hearing that everything else is too normal and I am too young to have any real problem. I would rather keep my $20 copay.

Thanks a bunch!

im not old, nor sick nor have experianced many deaths in my life but something, i dont know what,sparked this obsession i have about dying. I've been so down for two days thinking about death, is this the end of us? do we cease to exist and the world goes on? i don't want to stop, i dont want to die. This is all so scary, I mean, I can't get this off my mind. I'm afraid of dying, afraid of thinking why bother doing this that or the other thing when I'm just going to rot in the ground?

I had my first pap smear and pelvic exam on Oct. 23, so tomorrow will be exactly 2 weeks. I was wondering if anything was abnormal with my pap if you all think I would have heard something back from my doctor by now? My doctor said they would call if something was wrong on the form I filled out. For those who have experience with this or have had abnormal paps, how long after your appt did you hear back from the doctor? Please not for those who received a normal letter in the mail. Also those who had abnormal results were you called or did you receive something in the mail about it?
