Women's Health - November 2007

I had started a pack of birth control pills, but then I had lost the packet that they were in and this is my third day without pills. I just got my period last night [second day with pills], even though I was orginally into the pack for like, two weeks. Luckly, I had ordered three months in advance. So, my question is, should I start a new pack today or pick up a new pack and just pick up where I had left up on my lost packet?

My bf and i have only been together a few weeks anyway we used a condom but obviously something happened to it and i am now pregnant only 4 wks i know we should have waited. but whats done is done
i already have a 17 month old active son and i dont know what to do,
i looked into a termination but they are $225, in melbourne and i cannot come up with the money in time, it was just me looking into my options, but if i cannot afford one of those i definately cannot afford another baby,
the other thing is my family are strict catholics and i dont want them to be po'd at me for getting pregnant again because i could not raise my son without my family support which was what i would have to do if they found out i was pregnant again.
i just need some advice on what to do but i guess i need some further guidance coz i am not 100%sure what to do and it will be hard for him to get the money also as he doesnt start his new job till mid dec.

I have a few questions...
(1) What is the legal age you can get it without your parents consent? Is it 18?

(2) What do they do? I heard something about a pap smear, and I'm not clear on what that is. Does it hurt/is it weird/embarassing? I've never been to the obgyn. And I'm 17.

(3) Is it true you can get birth control through 'planned parenthood' clinics and your parents will not be informed? Someone said something about that to me once...

(4) Can you have someone sit in with you while you are getting checked out??

THANK YOU

I have been sick for three weeks now and I've thrown up twice in the past two weeks. I am not anorexic or bullemic because I eat normally like anyone should.

But whenever I did throw up, I had this harsh cough and whenever i would cough, it would be so bad that iy made me throw up

I'm 14. I look younger than i am, like maybe 11 or MAYBE 12ish. I'm an A cup and i'm just generally small. It runs in my family. It doesnt really bother me but everyone tells me that im so lucky and they with that they could pass for younger blah blah. how is that a GOOD thing? i thought people like looking older (i dont but it seems like other people do..)?

applied a cream called amerigel and its supposed to heal it from the bottom of the skin

anyways, it created a very thin scab which eventually (after 2 days) fell off in the shower

now what should i do
its red, i mean im not stressed since im def. not the only person in 11 grade w/ minor blemishes, but xmas pics are coming up ya know (nex sun. actaully)

so what should i be putting on it to make is scab (and thus speed up the healing process)

amerigel (http://www.amerigel.com/wounddressing.as...
neosporin
vitamin e


now tell me also
will putting retin A(tretinoin) speed the scabbing/healing process?

answers are really appreciated

I am a grad student, and spend anywhere between 6 to 10 hours a day sitting on my tukus. I have a very flexible lower back, so I typically sit on my bed to study, with my legs stretched out, so that my hamstrings don't get tight. I slouch casually, but try to straighten myself up every fifteen minutes, and I take walking breaks every hour. I rarely sit in chairs. This seems to have prevented back pain so far, but is there a better way to sit for reading and/or typing? Thanks:)

I find it really ridiculous that I'm that big and I'm only 13. I ahve scoliosis too (back problem). Is there anyway I can get them reduced and say it's my back problem? My mom and I went bra shopping yesterday and found one that fits, but when we got home I realized the straps weren't tight enough and I was sagging, but I couldn't adjust them anymore. The maker doesn't make DD for a 34. It's sooo hard to find ones that fit and I can't take it anymore. I'm getting SO frustrated.
Is there a way my doctor can tell our insurance that the back problem is from my big chest and use the breast reduction to help my back?

my birth control less effective? Has anyone gotten pregnant before because of this? I am on it because of migraines so if I had to quit taking it for a pregnancy I wouldn't be putting myself at risk for seizures but the migraines are horrible.

Okay I am 24 my baby is scheduled to be due July 3 2008. I will be almost 25 by then (my b-day is July 31st). The thing is, I feel too young to be a mother. There are so many things I still want to do and see like travel to Europe, Mexico, etc. I live with my boyfriend and we've been together for 2 years now, but have not made any plans of marriage yet or anything. Ideally we both would like to have children at around age 32. I know lots of women have children by my age, but I feel for me it's too young. I feel like my youth will be stolen away from me and I want to hang onto my youth as long as possible. I know some of you will say "well you should've not had sex" but I mistakenly thought I was in the clear bc my period had literally just ended and so though I was aware of the risk of pregnancy of having unprotected sex with my boyfriend this ONE TIME by the way (as other times I was either on the shot or on the pill and when I quit that he wore condoms), i thought the risk was LOW.

I've been having this weird problem with my bladder for quite some time now, I know it's not a uti, it's something more complicated. I'm really embarrassed to talk to my mom about it and going to the doctor. I really want to go to a doctor though to see what's wrong with me but it's going to be so embarrasing to talk to them in detail about my problem. I just need some advice on how to just get the courage to talk to a doctor. Has anyone ever had some sort of embarrassing problem they had to talk to their doctor about?

I first used it yesterday and nearly had a heart attack while taking it out as I felt like my womb was being pulled out. There just seems to be too much suction. The next time I took it out i tried to release it from the top but still got this horrible sucking sensation. I'm worried about doing some damage to myself. I'd really like to persevere so tips please :)

I've been taking clomid to help me ovulate so that i can conceive. Last week i got my period 11 days after i noticed that my BBT spiked up (which i assume means that i ovulated). But i am now finishing my period and my BBT has yet to go down. It did come down a little for two days to 97.5 but it's back to 97.8 which is way above my coverline. I'm not really sure what to make of it. I took a pregnancy test exactly two weeks after i suspect that i ovulated and it came out negative even though i had my "period." I was expecting my temperature to drop to my pre-ovulation temp. but that hasn't happened yet. Could i still be pregnant? I currently have had 17 days of high BBT's
