Women's Health - May 2007

I'm really sorry to post such an awkward question, but er. I live with a bunch of guys and so have no one else to ask, and I really need some questions answered. :P

Are any of these bra size calculators actually accurate? http://www.85b.org/bra_calc.php This, for example, gives me 32AA, but then I add the "above" calculation gives me 32A. Right now I'm wearing a 34AA but it's getting too small for me, but the band is fine. I don't understand if I go up to 34A or what? I'm somewhat shy and wouldn't get myself measured in real life (or probably even go into the store) so I just order them online so I'd prefer to get the 'right' one.

Should I just be sticking with kids bras or what? I think it's somewhat embarrassing that in school I'm wearing these lame, kiddy cotton bras when everyone else is...uh, not. Are undwired bras bad for when you're still developing? These kiddy bras make me feel even more like I'm flat-chested.

Sorry again to be annoying, but thanks for any help!

I have a monthly cycle from 26 to 30 days long. On April 27th I thought I started my period because I wiped and it was pink. That would be day 28 of my cycle. I waited and waited, but only had spotting for 2 days. Not even enough to fill a panty liner. The 3rd day the spotting was brown discharge. Again, only when I wipe. Todays is day 5, and day 4 there was nothing, and today a extremely tiny bit of brown again. Normally my periods are very heavy and 6 days long with only the 6th day being brown. I am concerned because about 3 or 4 days before the spotting started I had cramping in my lower abdomen, mainly on the left, but also on the right.

Anyone else experience something similar? And what was the problem?

I took a pregnancy test the morning the spotting started because I woke up and wasn't bleeding, so I thought I should check and it was negative. Was that too soon to test?

I have been having periods for about 10 years, and this has never happened. Thank you for your help

I get medium to severe cramping, irregularity (periods last more than 7 days on average, but the flow is only very heavy for the first four to five days, then it gets really, really light), very little pain from bowel movements, and every several months I'll get painful urination (most likely due to a urinary tract infection).

My cramping is almost always bad to the point to where I WANT to go to bed, but if I was forced to go somewhere, I wouldn't be groaning in pain. I'd get through it and pretend I don't have them. My mom said she used to get REALLY bad cramps at my age, and that I'm totally fine. She said she would get periods just like I do and that she never had any serious problems. My aunt is the only one in my family who has Endometriosis (my dads sister). She was infertile. But my mom had five kids, she was very fertile.

Is this normal for me? And if you do consider the possibility of me having Endo, isn't that associated with back pain? I don't get back pain at all...

I need to bring up the question when she got her period,because I heard that you get your period around the age your mother did and so I want to find out.But I never talk to her about things like that and I don't want her to think I started mine,she might freak out.I want to ask her many questions about that,but I just don't know how to..If you had the same thing how did you start these "talks"?
Some help would be greatly appreciated!!!Thank you all!♥

I started my period last Wed and on Saturday I had sex. Since then, I've been experiencing light bleeding, and I also have cramps. Is this normal? I've had sex before when my period was nearly done and this never happened ...

I had an 18 week ultrasound and yesterday, at 19.5 weeks had a checkup. The doctor told me that I would have to have another ultrasound at 28 weeks because a "low lying placenta" was detected. I can deal with that. I get a call from a nurse after I leave and she tells me that also in the ultrasound, they were only able to detect 3 chambers of the babys heart...they couldn't detect the 4th. i am going out of my mind with worry...it's making me sick. Has any of this happened to any of you? Have any of your babies ever been born with only 3 chambers? I need some calming words before I lose it

This was the email I got:

"A well known Taiwanese medical professor specialize[d] in cancer research based in a Japanese university a survey on 30,000 pre-cancer patients.

She found these patients are very choosy in their food, wash their hair during their period, carry heavy object[s] and drink cold drinks. This will cause incomplete ovulation, and the remaining menses will turn into toxins [whilst] the imbalance of hormones will lead to ovary and breast cancer.

During the research she found the method of prevention to this cancer.

The secrets are:
1. One must change their lifestyle and eating habits.
2. Do not wash our hair while having period; do not wash your hair just for the cooling effect and contraction of ovary.
3. Excessive bleeding must be investigated by a gynecologist.
4. No cold drinks.

If you feel drowsy, breast expansion and constipation these are the early symptoms of ovary or breast cancer."

So now what do you guys think?

I'm thirteen and this is what I experience every month:
1. Irregular periods that last up to 10 days (heavy for the first four to five days, then very light for the next 5 to 6 days), and cycles that ONLY SOMETIMES take more than 35 days to return (i.e. I started one period last year on July 4th and didn't begin my next period until the 11th of August)
2. Almost painless bowel movements
3. Rarely, painful urination (every couple of months, I suppose due to yeast infections)
4. Severe cramps (they vary every time. They can be so painful I have to stay in bed for a few hours, which is usually the case, but sometimes they can be pretty light. I use ibuprofen to lessen the pain)
5. Very heavy flow (for the first four to five days, then it gets really light)

I have had my period for almost four years...Is all of this normal? My mom says she used to be this way at my age and that I am ok, but I've never been to a gynecologist.

this is a true question: What happens during an orgasm, is it something you feel or comes out or what?

im 20 years old i have been working as a P.R for 6 months 3 months ago i noticed a pain in my legs i stand for 5 hours talking to people everyday. both legs swelled up and i was forced to take sick from work.
i went to the doctor who gave me a blood test because i was taking the contraceptive pill. everything came back fine i then went to see a consultant who said it was fluid and gave me water tablets and said to go back on the pill.
Im confused as im still in pain and its difficult to understand my doctor as he is spanish i live on a spanish island. i feel the need to go back on the pill but do you think it is wise to do so what should i do im still in pain and find myself most days staying in with my feet up as i find it helps.

Ok, I got the shot once back in October, then never again. Pretty much all of the first three weeks in March I had random spotting and cramping. I would cramp gradually from light to pretty bad, then it would stop, and I'd spot, no more than 2 days at a time. Then in the beginning of April, spotting and cramping for for like 2 days in the beginning of the month. Yep, and now today, same thing, but no spotting yet. Ans sometimes the spotting is so light it is just pink. I take a pregnancy test once a week and still nothing. I have gone to the doc for my yearly exam, and they haven't gotten back to me. That was a month and a half ago, so I don't think they found anything weird going on. Has anyone else ever had this kind of craziness? I know depo can take a while to get out of your system, but really is cramping and spotting common?

I know that that this is going to sound strange. But can a woman get a internal hernia like a man can? If they can how do they check for hernias on a woman? And if a woman did have a hernia how would she know? What are some of the symptoms of a hernia? And also How are the removed? I am just wondering on all of this I have been having severe pain and my hubby thinks that it may be a hernia so any ideas or advice would be helpful. Thanks in advance

When should I be concerned?
P.S. My doc is a quak and can not answer a damn thing.

My period was late on 3 days late was sick took a test it was neg on 4 days late was sick took a test it was neg and I kept feeling sick all day that night I started my period - It is a period and not spotting. This morning I still feel ill and tired yet I didn't throw up today. I'm not worried about pregnancy as I had sex twice and used a comdom that didn't break / rip even though I know there is a chance I can get pregnant its slim. I'm just wondering could it be a virus or something cause I heard that they make periods late. Also I have bad panic attacks and worry alot which sometimes makes me ill.
