What have been some of your side effects and how have you coped? I am only 14 and my doctor recommended me! She said I would gain an MAX. of 5 lbs during the first year. What a lie! I gained 20lbs in the first MONTH! AND I haven't changed my eating habits. I'm exercising but I'm still gaining weight like crazy! Not to mention the terrible amount of stretch marks I'm getting. She never told me I would have such extreme fatigue that I would start sleeping for 16 hours and still feel drowsy! She never told me I would lost my self-esteem. How can I cope with all of these things? I'm only 14 and I don't hang out with my friends anymore... I'm too busy sleeping. What would you suggest doing? I don't even know where to begin and I'm stuck with this in my body for another 2 months. I gain any more weight and I'm going anorexic. This is rediculous. I just feel so helpless and I don't even feel like myself. And I wasn't even warned about these things!

I can't get into my doctor until late January. My last period was early November. Since then my breasts have doubled in size, I'm tired all time, I'm clutzy, I can't think straight, I pee a lot, and then a couple days ago I got a positive HPT. Can I rely on it for an answer? I don't know what else would make my breasts grow.

I am using an IUD and have never had children. When I talked to my doctor, he said it was okay. I tried looking online but some websites say that it is okay some say it is not. In addition, many people have told me that they have heard that it is not okay if you have never been pregnant. I am a little confused and worried now, worried that I might never be able to have children.

I've been to 5 doctors and none of them helped I'm 35, do moderate exercise (brisk walking for at least 30 mins a day, yoga twice a week, weight training twice a week, occasional jogging). Don't smoke. I eat healthily. My cholesterol levels are very healthy. My blood pressure is usually around 115/75. The highest it has ever been is 120/80. I'm not even slightly overweight. I used to run track for my college. But...despite all this, my resting heart rate shot up to 95 bpm a year ago. (Previously it had always been around 50 to 60, depending on how fit I was). I invested in a heart rate monitor and what I've been seeing for the past months is terrifying to me. When I do modertae exercise, like taking a brisk walk, my heart rate shoots up to 150 to 160. I just went jogging five minutes ago and I had to stop after 20 minutes because my heart rate was up to 198!!!! And I was getting an ache just above my left breast. One doc did a cardiogram recently and said all's normal.

I need a cure for cramps...really bad ones....I've tryed the Ivprofin 800mg and that seems to calm it down but not to much..I've also tryed the Midol...and that seems like it hasn't done anything. Plus im on the pill which should make them not as bad but it doesn't seem to help....I'm in so much pain help. Do u know of anything I can do really quick that can help them go away or die down?

P.S. I've also tryed taking a really hot shower and that seems like it hasn't helped either...I think I might call the doctor in the morning and let them know whats going on.

I have to go see a GYN next month, and I'm dreading it. I've not had a pap smear or pelvic exam in about 12 years because I hate them with a passion. I am very overweight, and I can't get the image out of my head that the doc is thinking "Dear God, what a monster." Plus, I just have bad feelings associated with pelvic exams. HELP!!!!!

My 19-yr-old daughter had a physical today and one of the questions the doctor asked her was, "Have you ever had trouble growing your leg hair?" We are all baffled as to the reason for such a question! Does anyone out there know why a doc would ask this? We're dying of curiosity!!

Everytime I pass stools there is a large amount of blood coming with it. They are usually followed by cramps and not much else. I'm concerned.

I was just wondering, when did you get your period? Obviously I know that it comes the week when you don't have the ring in, but what day? Right now this is my 4th day without it in (took it out Saturday) and still no sign of it.
This is my first month on it so I'm really not sure what day it will come, so I just want to get some opinions!

OK, so its christmas, the holiday of over indulgence and generic stomach upsets. A lot of people eat too much and get bloated (I normally do!)..
But a day before the gorge-fest began, my appetite began to fade, not for lack of hunger, but because I got full halfway through my dinner. I usually have a pretty healthy appetite, but for the past few days I just can't manage food. Today, I put lunch off till well after 14:00, and still felt really stuffded after eating a few cold cuts and some celery!
I skipped dinner earlier, but had a bowl pof fruit salad about half an hour ago, and I feel like i'm going to burst!
I've had something similar before, but it wasn't so severe and didn't last as long..

If it didn't come on so suddenly i'd be more concerned.. But what the hell is wrong with me?

My doctor told me to take pills at least three days before my expected start date, but that doesn't work. In fact, it seems like nothing I do works for me. Every 28 days im dizzy, vomiting, and cramping really bad. What are some ways to avoid having such bad cramps that have me in tears. Is birth control an answer?
