Women's Health - February 2007

My husband and I had unprotected sex 2 days ago while I was in the middle of my cycle and think I had already ovulated (we are new to using the diaphram and forgot to put it in). I took plan b 24 hours later, but didn't take the second pill until 17 hours after the first. How effective is plan b if I missed the second pill by 5 hours? Also, if I already ovulated, and the egg was fertilized, can plan b still work? I thought it worked through preventing the release of the egg, but what if the egg was already released? How high is the risk of pregnancy if I already have a fertilized egg in my system, but used plan b within 24 hours of unprotected sex? I know it's supposed to shed the uterine lining so the ovum has nothing to attach to, but is this realiable?

First of all I want to thank all you gals who answered my Pre-hysterectomy questions a few weeks earlier and shared your stories with me!! I need you to share again....

It is now week 2 post-op. Had the full open surgery and am healing fine. I took my own staples out (the day before the doc was going to remove them) for they were driving me nuts, poking me from different angles. Went to the checkup a week after and my doc was surprised I hadn't had any hotflashes yet . I have had no hot flashes but have been warm on a few occasions but nothing like the horror stories of sweating I have been told.

I feel tired way to much in my opinion and yet do not sleep well at night. Is this normal ? Will this be life from now on ?

I am sore, achy, headachy & pale and wondering how long this is suppose to go on. The doc. says, of course, 6 weeks is recovery. I just want you gals to share with me your post experience now to sort of calm my anxieties of what is going on.

I've missed two periods the past 2 months. I've taken two pregnancy tests -- 1, one week after i missed my last period and 2, three weeks after the first test. Both were negative. Before this, I had NEVER missed a period since I started them 12 years ago.

I know I need to go to a doctor, but I won't have health insurance for 90 more days.

Does anyone think pregnancy is a possibility if I've already had two negative pregnancy tests? And what else could cause this? I was taking birth control pills until I missed my first period, and I haven't taken any medication since then.

The reason why I'm asking is we all know what happens to a women who has a regular menstrual cycles. We don't know why some women don't have a monthly menstrual cycle.

Or do we?

What happens to a woman who has no menstrual cycle for 3 months or more? Who I might add is Health and not having sex.

My girl just now told me that she was having abdominal pain since 2 months ago. She said that she had been to the hospital and the doctor told her that it's common and that it will rupture or gets better on it's own. Im not sure what rupture means in the medical field. So i wonder what might have caused a swollen ovalry. Can anyone help me understand this female part?

Apparently my asthma inhaler has caused me to develop thrush and, yuck, I want to get rid of it! Is seeing the doctor for a prescription of something the only route? He didn't take it seriously when I told him that I was having troubles and just said to rinse my mouth thoroughly or brush my teeth after using the inhaler!

I always thought when you got your period you count from the last day of your period to find out when your going to have it again, but my friend counts from the first day of her period. So, I was wondering what one it really is. Is it the first day of your period? It it the last day of your period? pleas help. and please dont say both :(

When I was a little girl, I used to climb on my nightstand to see out the bedroom window. One day, I slept and fell while climbing down and the corner was jammed up into my vagina. I don't know if it actually went inside or not, and I don't remember any blood, but I do remember that it burned to pee for awhile afterwards. Is it at all possible that my hymen was torn or stretched?

My boyfriend and i have started messing around a month ago. I had discharge and an itching, burning sensation of my vagina/vulva. I went to my doctor and she did a pap smear, saying I had an yeast infection (very first one) and a bladder infection. I thought it went away, and we started messing around again. During intercourse, i have a really burning sensation in my vagina that really hurts. but then discharge came again, but not the burning/itching. so i thought i had another yeast infection because it started a few days before my period. so i went to the store and bought monistat. it's a week later, and discharge is still somewhat coming out. and it still burns during intercourse, and now my vulva has been all red and swollen for the past few days. what is wrong? i need advice. i know i should make another doctor's appoitment...but maybe i still have an yeast infection??? please help.
