I'm not allowed to take pain killers because I've abused them in the past. But my girl organ is hurting bad and I'm not very happy ATM. And I'm not just talking about exercise and crap like that. I mean full blown alleviation.

This will sound wierd but... When most women would get PMS I get something else. Every month, a week before I start my period I begin obsessivly cleaning my house, my car, and when I finished with that I'll clean my sisters house. I will go on for nearly twenty hours, not eating, not resting and barely sleeping. It will go on until I get my period. Then I go back to normal, until next month. My doctor put me on antidepressants, but that only made it worse. The symptoms would last for the entire month. Nothing is helping and I'm driving my husband nuts! Everytime he goes to get something, I've reorganized and it's someplace else. If anyone knows what this is or knows how to help, I would really appreciate it. So would my husband:)

What is the typical cost of a breast reduction. I don't have any insurance, so I would have to pay cash for it. I wear a 40 I. I would like to get into a C cup.

What is it about chocolate that is so attractive to ladies? Its a serious question honestly. Most men can take it or leave it, but ladies appear to need it. Why is that?

Ok, so hi. This has been going on for about 3 months, give or take. It's not a constant pain, but when it does come around (at least once a day) they are small, sharp pains, mostly on my right lower side, around my hip bone. it mostly hurts after a meal or a snack when my stomach is full, and my belly pokes out from eating. i dont have a fever or anything else, and i went to the doc about it, didnt say much of anything, but said i would have a fever or be sick if it was my appendix.

Actually it is in my adomen directly below my belly button. I have been sensitive in this area for about 2 weeks now. If you press lightly, it gives discomfort. I know I am not consitpated nor am I pregnant. ( I have not ben sexually active since October 2006 and I have not missed my period. I have been on birth control for 3 years and we used a condom. I have taken HPTs at home and twice at my DRs office.)
I do have IBS but have never had this sort of issue before. My doctor treated me for UTI because at first the discomfort was all across my abdomen. Now its centralized right below my belly button. It spasms every once in a while.
Any clues to what this might be?

I found out the I have HPV ( Human Papillomavirus ) last year. There has been a lot of talk about this new vaccince, Gardasil, that has come out to help prevent cervical cancer caused by HPV; therefore, I want to have my daughter take the vaccine because I don't want her to have this. In your opinion, do you think that others will think I'm saying that it's ok for her to have sex now that she has this vaccine??

Background Story.
I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend about a month ago. I know, bad on my part, but it was a heat of the moment type of thing. Prior to that, I had gotten pregnant with another boyfriend, who is the SCUM of the universe. I had aborted it which left me into tiny little pieces. But that's another story. But, ever since then, I vowed to myself that I will ALWAYS use protection from now on. But, this time, it was an accident and I didn't think he would ejaculate in me. I was expecting him to pull out. Guess not.

So, afterwards when I asked him where he came, I flipped out. The next day I went to a local pharmacy and had purchased Plan B. It was taken within those 24 hours. I had taken it that night I went to my boyfriends house. That night we had PROTECTED sex.

Few days later, I started to bleed. Spot, rather. For like a day. I know that is a side effect. But still I became worried cause I read that your period will either be late or early. Ever since then, no period. I usually get my period the first week of each month. It's been a no-show since then. I had taken 2 pregnancy tests and but had came out negative. All sexual activity has been protected. My period is regular. Never had a irregular one. Always on time.

My question is, Did plan B throw off my period for this month?
Should I take another pregnancy test by the end of the week?
Should I wait till the next month to see what happens?


I've been stressed out, really bad. I know my stress can effect it; but honestly.. even if I stress... it doesn't really effect my period. I don't know.. but please, someone help me.

of going braless. Will my breasts sag later in life? Will I develop back problems? Are there any benefits to wearing bras or are they just a product of cultural socialization? I just find bras sooo damn uncomfortable.

This happens mostly when spring comes, but sometimes in autumn too. I wake up, then I get very hot and sweaty for 20-30 minutes. It's been happening for 3-4 years, and it's not menopause. Asked one dr. and no answer was forthcoming, and I figure it's not important, just annoying.
