Im up to my wits end its getting to the point where I will lite up and get so mad at myself curse at my self throw it away...just to lite up again,I will throw away a brand new pack then buy a new one 5min. later.I hate it I feel like such an addict.

I have suffered from this for 4 years and had surgery to laser off endo growths from my abdominal cavity three years ago. The endo came back and about a year ago I started depo shots, which stopped the periods and helped. Sometimes the depo seems to wear off early and I will have a period with intense pain. I am trying to find other options to treat the pain besides anti-inflammatories, which have caused ulcers. Any ideas as to what would help with the pain? I plan to have children and would like to avoid a hysterectomy for at least three years.

What have you heard about the side effects of the Morning After Pill? I mean it would be potentially killing a very early baby on the cellular level after fertilization occurs and before implantation. That's bad enough - but don't you think that women will eventually show issues with cancer risk and heart problems with messing with their hormones like this? The regular pill can cause heart issues, increase cancer risk etc..This high level dose would be difficult for the body to take, would it not? Isn't there a bleeding risk as well? Gosh, and of course when minors get a hold of it, won't they do foolish things like think it will end a pregnancy in progress and really mess things up? Has the FDA really done enough investigating or are they responding to pressure from pharmeceutical companies who need to boost their bottom line. That's what it's really about isn't it?

I have brown discharge during the time when I suppose to have my period last month. I don't know if that still counts a "period" or not...
My period should come in about a week, but my period schedule is uaually inconsistent.
I took a pergnancy test last week and it was negartive.
But I feel upset stomach and sometimes I had feelings that I wanted to throw up.
I only had this symptom but NOT others like tender/sore breast, and feeling tired .
Do you think I'm pregnant or I ate something wrong or I'm just under stress of getting pregnant?

My doctor thinks it's unusual for women who's never been through childbirth to have this problem. That makes me feel so alone. I was never tight down there not even when I had sex for the first time, according to my then boyfriend. (I didn't bleed). I feel droplets of urine whenever I laugh or jump. I'm looking for a pill solution instead of kegel exercises which takes forever and not really effective. I wish i could go for surgery to tighten my vaginal wall but it's not meant for women who want to have babies. Any solutions?

This may be a stupid question, but here goes:

20 minutes after I took my pill I had a bowel movement...

I think this bowel movement was normal but is it normal when it comes out in small and large pieces? Or do normal bowels always come out as larger pieces?

It wasn't runny or watery so this wasn't diarrhea and wouldn't have affected the pill right?

So this is for my girlfriend, whom I'm worried about. She's seventeen, so she has been having her period for some time now. However, she skips months rather often (out of 6 months shell have 4 periods). Is this a major concern? I think she should go to the doctor just to get checked out, but am I just over-reacting? I'm just concerned, and would like to know how seriousthis could be and whether or not anyone else has experienced it.

I turned 17 about two weeks ago and today was my last day at the bank as a summer worker. There's this guy there who introduced himself to me, he's always nice to me, and smiles at me, and he's the only guy there who didn't hug me goodbye. His name's Oneish and he has nice eyes and is good-looking. He works as a teller at the bank, which means he's already finished university and could be about 25 or over. He looked a bit suprised when I told him I was 17 (I always look older than my actual age) but he still spoke to me. I'm not saying I want to date the guy, I just want to get to know him. I thought about him a couple times over the last two weeks and I just want to talk to him to get to know him. Do you think I should call him or just let it go? If you think I should call him, what do I say to him, so that he understand I just want to get to know him?
