I can't afford hormonal birth control, I can't remember to take the pills. So, what are my other optionsof birth control? Of course, I'm goin' to a condom and please don't put "absitence". I wanna know what my options are and the percentage of the failure rate and such. I wanna know the statistics when used with a condom.

Can someone provide a qualified answer based on experience or expertise? I've heard from some doctors that people naturally will tend to lose some degree of rectal muscle control in old age and anal will only encourage the muscle loss.

my period has been more towards the end of the month. So could it be that my cycle is just trying to fix itself?

I am 24 and a mother of 1 he is 3. His dad walked out on me when I told him I was pregnant. I carried on with the pregnancy. I live in a nice home in a nice part of London and I am in a good job. I was also due to start university in the new year.

I have been seeing a really nice guy for the past few months. I have known him for 7 years we were friends before we were lovers. I had the coil in and he was using condoms. One time the condom split and now I am pregnant. He wants me and the baby so much but I am scared that I will be left alone again with the baby. My parents have already warned me that the support will not be there the second time around. His family has pledged support and he has told me that if abort the child it over between us as I took an abortion pill a couple years ago when we were seeing each other.

Some advice please!

My doctor said my fundus is measuring the same size as a woman who is only 22 weeks! He says it could be low fluid, the baby being small or I got the wrong due date but that would mean I got the first ultra sound for determining the sex when I was like 12 weeks! Is it possible that they couldve mistaken a 12 week old for a 20 weeker? I hope its nothing serious I go to get my U/S on Tuesday
Im 28 weeks now, the doctor said I look fine just measuring six weeks too small. I go to get another ultrasound on tuesday but it is stressing me out this is my first pregnancy.

I eat normally, three meals a day, and people are telling me I am anorexic because I think I am fat when I am 70 pounds at 5"6.
I thought anorexia was when you don't eat anything. Am I anorexic?

I've been having right sided lower abdominal pain off and on for the past 18 months. I was admitted to hospital in September with severe pain and ended up having my appendix out (which turned out to be normal, and I was diagnosed as having had a ruptured ovarian cyst). About six weeks later I was readmitted with similar pain, and eventually had an exploratory laparoscopy, which found nothing to explain the pain, but confirmed a diagnosis of PCOS (which had already been diagnosed based on clinical signs and symptoms). Anyway, all the literature says that PCOS doesn't cause pain, but I'm sure the pain I'm experiencing is coming from my right ovary (I'm a junior doctor by the way, so I do know where my ovaries are etc!).

Does anyone else with PCOS suffer from chronic lower abdominal pain? It's like a twisting pain, comes and goes, sometimes lasts a few hours, sometimes a few days, happening at least once a week. Any ideas?

I just got off Depo-Provera and have had my period for a month straight now. I went to the doctor today and my pregnancy test came back positive (I have not been sexually active during my cycle). Is it possible this is just a mistake and that my period is somehow raging more hormones than usual?

I am thinking about it ..no implants because I have large breasts that are fairly firm but the problem they are a little too large and that makes them heavy. They are beginning to sag because of their weight. I just wanna lift.. how did your go and what are the scars like..thanks ;)

Every one in my family had big breasts at my age. (I'm 14) However, I am a AA. Is it because I am skinny? I am 5'3 and 87 pounds.

I am not interested in or trying to get pregnant but I want to know if it is okay for me to take prenatal vitamins...

I have been getting quite a few colds lately so I am trying to take more vitamins- I have put myself on Vitamin C and was told that prenatal vitamins are great vitamins to take whether you are pregnant or not.

I just want to make sure it is okay or not.

Is it possible to get pregnant while switching from Ortho-Lo to Sprintec (the generic form of Ortho) ?
I was on Ortho LO for about a year, I began getting my period every 2 weeks - so I called my doctor and asked to switch to a stronger strength pill. She switched me to Sprintec (which I was on prior to the LO) ...
... help me do the math...

I was on my period 12/13 - 12/15 (ish)
Then again, I spotted for (1) day - around 12/20/06

According to my pills - I am not due for another period until the week of Jan 7 ...

But is it possible to have gotten pregnant because of the switch?
Any opinions are appreciated :)
