I was just wondering what is the probability of me still getting pregnant after taking the Morning After Pill 65 hours after sex? The condom broke when me and my boyfriend were having sex Saturday morning at 2:00 am and I took the Morning after pill Monday at 7:00 pm. Just wondering.

I'm having a problem with removing the hair 'down there'. I can't wax ot, because my skin is too sensative, shaving, it grows back quickly and using creams, well I just used one and it burned my skin and caused irritation.

Any suggestions on ways to remove the hair and perhaps slow down the regowth?

My brother is 21 and still living with his parents... his criminal record is clean except for a DUI charge about a year ago... anyways the other night randomly my brother tried to kill himself. He slit his wrists and his throat and popped 20+ pills of xanax, 10 pills of phenobarbituates (bare with my spelling here I am only 17) and god knows what else. He seriously just went through every bottle (about 6 different prescription medications) and popped them. He then went to bed. We woke up and we see his wrists and my parents kicked him out. We didn't know anything about the pills although he was acting kind of drunk so we knew something was in his system... when he left we saw the missing pills and called 911 and had him bachoracted. He's in the ER right now sick as hell, he had a heart attack earlier this morning. He can't remember all the pills he took and the doctors were calling us trying to get as much info as possible... he's still sick but not dead so that's a plus...

I am incredibly shocked and saddened by her passing and feel somewhat guilty about her death. A few night ago she and I shared a 20 dollar bag of heroin it wasn't very potent but it made both of us feel pretty warm and fuzzy all over but it didn't get us to the point of nodding out or feel incoherent. So anyway we got high around 7pm and everything was cool, no strange reactions or slurred speach, nothing out of the ordinary. After about an hour and a half of chit chatting she gave me a ride home and at this point I felt that she was more than coherent enough to handle driving. After the ride she was then on her way to Evanston to cat sit and house sit. The next day I called her at work but she didn't answer the phone. Later I found out that she was discovered by her landlord injured and unconcious. My friend had been on all sorts of medication from percocet, fiorcet, an injectable muscle relaxer, and benadryl. What is the most likely cause of her death?

Or would you say anything? Here's the thing:

My mom is in her late 50's, 5'2" and about 165 lbs. She has a tiny frame and should only be between 110-120. She has for YEARS blamed her weight gain on having turned 35, and as my 35th birthday approaches, I keep hearing more and more about how I'm supposedly going to "not be so skinny" anymore and "you don't think it'll happen to you, but it will" and "age is a terrible thing, just you wait and see, it'll be your turn soon".

She blames it entirely on her age and not on the fact that she overeats. I mean SERIOUSLY overeats. I don't know about during the week--she follows her version of one of the levels of the South Beach Diet--but the weekends, she's admitted that she eats whatever she wants, from Friday evenings when she eats out with my step-dad to Sunday evening. When we're over for supper, she must eat 3 times the amount I eat. She's definitely a "live to eat" person whereas I'm much more of a "eat to live" person. ...

This happened back in June.. I smoked about 3 bowls one night and I got high but I noticed my hands became numb and so did my entire body. I couldn't tell if I was touching my face, hands, etc. but after about 3 or 4 hours I came down and I was relatively fine again. I smoked another bowl the next day and I became pretty toasted again but the effects seemed to last for over 8 hours.

I guess you could say that I no longer "mentally" felt high because I went to sleep and got up and was fine, but physically I still had the numbness effects and they lasted for over a week.

Anyone have any sort of explanation as to why this happened to me? Maybe because I didn't smoke that often and I could have overdone it in a way? I know it's not that the weed was laced--I smoked with a friend who had the same amount and she was fine after.

Thanks for your answers, no criticism or telling me, "Stay away from w33d!" please. I haven't used it again and I'd only smoked 3 times maybe before that.

Recently I have noticed that my vision is getting worse. It is especially annoying when I am driving or at school. I seem to be getting headaches all the time and it is driving me crazy. The persciption for my right eye is stronger than the one for my right eye so I was wondering if I could wear the stronger ones in both of my eyes until I can go to the eye doctor. All the numbers except the power are the same and it is only .25 of a difference between the eyes so would this be a problem? I know I have to go to the eye doctor but I wont have time for a few weeks so is this alright? Thanks!

I dont want to lose a billion pounds in the course of three weeks or anything, my main goal is about 20 or 30 pounds (Im 5'6", 165lbs, a month from 15 years old) But, I dont want a diet that will take me years to reach my goal. Im aiming for about 10 pounds per month (if thats too much, any suggestions?) I dont want something that will require me to buy weird foods or diet pills. I just want a healthy workout routine (for winter months ^^; Ill run, but Id like to know how to dress for cold weather if thats the case) and a diet that I can follow with basic foods you could find in any refridgerator (my family is generally healthy eaters, so we are actually pretty short on the junk foods and fizzy drinks)
Once again, no ridiculous wonder diets. Just something logical that wont get in the way of my daily life (no six meal a day diets, I tried that and didnt like it)
Thanks to anyone who helps :D

I have made it clear that I do not want him looking at porn but he continues to anyways. The other day I did a system recovery and found a lot of porn that was deleted from the internet history and the week before that we got in a big fight about it. Today I did the same thing and found more..he gives me so many excuses why he does it and tells me all men do. I have told him if he needs to then do it in the shower or another room but I do not want it being done to internet porn. We have sex maybe once a week but he masturbates to porn daily...and i am right next to him in the bed sleeping when he does it because our computer is in our bedroom. He has so many excuses.. He says he likes variety and if he can't do that he might be tempted to cheat in reality..he tells me that he doesn't have the energy to have sex so he masturbates because it's quicker and isn't as much work..and his excuses go on and on..I just don't know what to do..I don't want to throw my marriage away..

does your body naturally try to stay at that point and try to prevent you from gaining/losing weight? i am 17, 5'3, and like 107-109 pounds and sometimes i probably eat less then i should but i don't lose weight. is that because my body is trying so hard to keep the weight on? like if i was overweight and was eating less then i should i would lose weight right?

I'm supposed to have the flu shot at work tomorrow, but I'm getting over a sinus infection. Last Monday I went to the doctor and she put me on the antibiotic Levaquin, 500mg a day for 10 days. I have 2 more pills left to take, 1 for tomorrow and 1 for the next day. I think I'm over my infection- my nose is a still snifflely and my throat is a little scratchy but when I blow my nose, the mucus is clear (sorry, I know that's a bit too much info). So here's my question- can I get my flu shot tomorrow even though I'm still on antibiotics for my almost-gone sinus infection? Thank you in advance!!!1
