Women's Health - September 2006

After having a baby a few months ago, I decided to go with Mirena IUD. After only a few weeks of it being in, I have noticed that I can feel the wire, it is about 1/2 an inch from being outside of me, I have also had some light bleeding and cramping this week. Is this normal to be able to feel the wire? I phoned my OB/GYN, but I am not going to be able to get in for 3 weeks, I am thinking to go to a walk in clinic. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this, I am hoping that there is not going to be some problem that will result in the Mirena being removed, I just paid 350.00 for this thing!!!!!!!!!!

How are we supposed to know from a computer from hundreds if not thousands of miles away? ? ?
Do we have some third eye we can mystically tell from?

Has anyone else had bad experiences with doctors? I am going to check ups for shortness of breath and severe reflux. I find that I am doing all the research and am not getting enough help from there end. For example, I was diagnosed with severe reflux (I asked to do a barium swallow and it was found) yet I wasn't even told what foods to stay away from!! There have been times that male doctors have flirted with me. There have been times when male doctors have disrespected and dismissed me since I am only in my 30s and am having severe symptoms (they're not taking me seriously). And there have been times when I've felt like either the doctors didn't know enough, or just wanted my money. I am tired of this. I may have a severe condition and I am scared that I won't be cured just because there are so many bad doctors out there! Anyone had similar experiences??

As quoted on BillDawes.net:
"Okay, that's still fine, but here's an interesting fact you may not know: women can be in the middle of a stream, and suddenly decide, Hey, since I'm here, I might as well take a dump! I'd hate to throw away this opportunity for a two-fer! Women love bargains. It's a scientific fact - go to WebMD if you don't believe me. "

News to me (as a woman) that that was surprising to a man. It got me thinking about women and peeing. Why is it that even if she pees before she poops, women always pee after they poo?

I have protected sex, we use condoms but sometimes i worry that one might break. I want to be on birth control just to be safe but i had an allergic reaction to the pill form. I tried to ask a gyno a few months ago (b4 I was having the sex) but the only advice she gave me was to " do some research, then talk to me about it".
Does anyone use any alternatives to the pill? what works best for you? how safe is it? my head is spinning trying to sort through all of the information out there.
Thanks

Why is it that some women can have orgasms without oral stimulation? I have never had an orgasm without oral stimulation. Is there something wrong with me?

Ok I used to care about my reputation on Y! Answers but I think that doesn't matter anymore since I realized no one knows/cares who I am. That being said, why the *&^% can't I have an orgasm? I know it's normal for girls to have difficulty getting one, but damn it i've been trying since the beginning of this year, and I CANT HAVE ONE. I JUST CANT. i can sit there and play with myself for an hour and i still cant get one. i am so frustrated at this point and i just want to get up, but i cant because its become somewhat of an obsession/addiction. i even started downloading porn but i usually delete it quickly and give up. so what should i do? i feel guilty for turning into a bad person, but at the same time i feel like if i could just having a ^&%$#@( orgasm i wouldnt be so sex obsessed. any suggestions?

My doctor mentioned something about my pH being off and suggested some pills you can get over the counter at health food stores. But it seems like I'm getting it every few months so I go into the doctors office, get the antibitics (flagyll) and then end up with a yeast infection on top of that that needs to be treated. Is there anything else I can do to keep this from coming back? I've followed advice of not wearing panties with my pantyhose, only cotton underwear, no douching, no scented soaps or sprays....what's going on???

I am only 32 so I don't think I am going through menapause. I have been doing this for about a year now. I don't understand. I wake up drenched in sweat even on my legs.
