if the insert says "If you forget any of the 7 [ white] "reminder" pills in Week 4: THROW AWAY the pills you missed. Keep taking 1 pill each day until the pack is empty. You do not need a back up method."

it is safe to a assume that during that week i'd be protected if i was to have unprotected sex right? I mean i get my period on tuesday night usually. But I'm seeing my boyfriend the friday before until that monday (when i should be on placebo)....so its not like i need ot take the active pills to keep my period from coming...cuz he wont be here---but i'm stilll protected? i always thought during placebo you wouldnt be.

is it better to just take the active pills of next package to be sure?

I drink about 8 glasses of water, watch my calorie and fat intake (approx. 1300 calories per day) and doing 1/2 hour of low-impact cardio at least 5 times a week. Still, after weeks of this, I've only lost 2 1/2 pounds. I need to lose 50 according to my doctor. What am I doing wrong?

How safe is it for me if I take my active birth control pills back to back skipping the placebo pills? I have a couple events coming up that I don't want to be on my period when they occur. This weekend I should start but am going on vacation and would not and then next month when I would start I have a huge night planned. Please help me figure this out! Thanks for your help!!

i.e. one where you don't have to lift, bend, sit or stand for extended periods of time, etc.

no idea what kind of work would work best.

I did OpenVMS (old computer system) system administration in the past, but now that system is completely obsolete. I earned a Project Manager certification (PMP) since... I haven't worked in 5 years, I've been on disability.

but then the blisters go and a dark red mark is left behind. These look like birthmarks and are completely flat and smooth. They don't hurt or itch. Three doctors and the practice nurse have never seen anything like it before. Has anyone else?

I know I have to lower body fat. I eat 5-6 small meals a day. I do 3 days of strength training and 3 days of 20 min cardio workouts. I also do ab workouts on the 3 days of strength training and 8 minute abs (youtube) on my cardio days. What can I do to eliminate my obliques/love handles and reveal my abs? Any info would help. I've went from 211 to 197 in the past 8 weeks.

Iam a 30 year old mom, and I was talking to another mom at the bus stop this morning, and she was telling me how sick with the flu she was, and about how she felt like a guy, since she was on the bowl twice a day, and that normally females should go only 2-3x per week. I was floored, as I go once every single day, and occassionally twice a day. how often is normal, girls?

I'm 30. I've been off work for 10 weeks now with severe depression since having an unwanted abortion.

I feel guilty. I feel as though I'm never going to be how I was again. The only things that keep me from suicide are my 2 beautiful girls and my supportive family but I feel that they are getting fed up of me too.

I started cutting myself about 4 weeks ago But now I always want to do it

My tooth came loose and a fluid comes out and I extracted the tooth. Before, I went to a hospital to a specialist and she
couldn't see anything, she x-rayed. I read on the internet about
this disease about diabetics losing teeth but didn't print the story, my printer wasn't working, now it is.

So I missed my period this month, after taking many tests including going to the doctor I confirmed that I was not pregnant, I also don't have any other health problems which could be causing it, so we ruled it down to just stress, I started bleeding a bit a week ago, and I was really happy because I thought it meant my period was starting, I had unprotected sex believing it to be a "safe" time, it's been a week since and my period never did come although I have been having cramps, I'm pretty sure I was not ovulating at the time considering I was spotting and it was 4 weeks after the time I should have ovulated, but I'm just wondering if maybe the "safe" time was not as safe as I thought it was

I have a holter monitor on right now, and it has been stating that my resting pulse is between 48-56.. i am 25 with slight MVP. Nothing else. My mother has CAD at 46.

I noticed though that the numbers jump up and down fast cept when im resting and it stays in the 50's.

Can this be nrmal?

I have a TLC holter monitor where I recrord any symptoms and send it in over the phone. Can this be a little incacurate in taking the pulse? because I can yawen and my pulse will jump to like 110, but 5 seconds after that go to 50bpm


im just worried because while I am sitting idle, it goes to 49-56

Why do so many women especially buy into that garbage. Bra or no bra, depending on their size, weight and fullness they are going to sag no matter what. And then I hear people say for those who already sag bra is the answer to get them perky again. bleh

I have a pretty bad problem of grinding my teeth while I sleep at night. My dentist just made me a mouthguard for it (out of hard plastic that covers the top teeth). After waiting 3 weeks for the guard to arrive (after he made the mold of my teeth) he also spent half an hour with me in the his office making minor adjustments on it so that it would fit exactly right. Unfortunately, now that I've taken it home and tried it, it feels too tight in certain spots, especially the front-right canine tooth.

Will the pressure exerted on my tooth (teeth?) specifically from the mouthguard damage them, or is it supposed to fit very snugly?

Strangely,I had a dream last night while I was wearing it that my tooth kept chipping, but then I woke up and my tooth was fine.

My breasts are really uneven and its really a source of self confidence issues for me. I realize that "most women do have this problem, ect" but I don't think "most women" have this problem as drastically. My right is a D cup and my left is a B / small C maybe. I hate going to the beach, wearing low cut tops, and will not get undressed in front of anyone, period. I can't even find bras that fit correctly and its very embarrasing. Anyway I definitely want to have this fixed and I've read that the only way to fix it is breast Augmentation. Has anyone had this procedure, especially with a similar problem? Could you tell me about the downtime, costs, and pain? Would you recommend it or do it again?

Thanks everyone!
