Women's Health - December 2007

I got my first depo shot in October and started bleeding two weeks ago. Not too heavy, but not spotting...somewhere in between. I figured if I was going to have any bleeding that it would have started within the first few weeks, but two months later? I am going to call my doctor after the Christmas holiday, but just thought I'd see if anyone else had this issue?

I was put on birth control in August b/c i had developed a hemmorhagic ovarian cyst- the birth control i am on (micro-nor) does not cause me to have a period, which is nice. my dilema is that i want to go off my birth control this week when it ends b/c i am not sexually active but my doctor basically implied that if i want to remain cyst-free i should stay on it but left the decision up to me... i dont want to go off it and develop a cyst next month. i am looking for other people's opinion on this, should i stay on it just to be safe or go off it?

pros/cons?
what you wish you knew that no one told you?
when do the breasts stop producing milk?
how does it affect your body hormonally?

I nursed my son for 16 months. During the course of that time a small dark spot (not raised, just flat surface of skin) developed near the aerola of my breast. I thought it was due to his having bit me more than once during the course of weaning, or the fact that my skin around the nipple would often crack, and was always healing or bleeding.. Now a month after I've completely weaned my son off, my nipple is always peeling dry skin, and making way for fresh new skin underneath. However, it still has that dark spot that appears smaller, but itches like crazy! I've tried different ointments like Lansinoh, Vaseline, and Neosporin, but nothing stops the itch. I've done a breast examination twice and feel nothing different or wierd. So I don't think it's that. Is this normal? Does anyone know what's wrong with me? I plan to go to my GYN soon but I just started a new job and can't find the time to go as of yet..
Please help!

I've been sexually active with my boyfriend for 5/6 months and it's like everytime i finish the antibiotics and wait a week (for the pill and we use condoms) i get another one! I've had blood tests for everything and there's nothing unhealthy with me, i not dry during sex (used to be but changed pills), cranbury juice doesn't seem to be helping, majority of times i go to toilet before and after sex.

My doctor gave me some non-spermicide condoms which were meant to help... they're not. I asked if not using condoms would help (we're clean) nurse says they have to advise me to use them as i medical person etc. Do you think not using them would work? I was gonna not use them next time (been waiting a couple of weeks after antibiotics) but it's just a circle and can feel another one coming on.

I take the pill each night around 9. I can't take it in the morning because the times I wake up vary a lot, and same goes for the times I go to bed. I don't want to take it at lunch or anything because I'll be at school (awkward!).

I already have them out in plain sight next to my toothbrush but what are some other tips to remember!?

I am taking the 3 day version of monistat. I have had a yeast infection before, while pregnant, so I am aware of the symptoms, but this doesn't seem to be working. Last night was the first night I used it, so I have two more left, but I feel worse than ever! I feel itchy and uncomfortable. My ob/gyn is closed Christmas Eve and Day other than emergencies, which this is not, but damn if it isn't the most uncomfortable thing ever!!!
Does it get worse before it gets better? I don't remember that happening last time. Thank you!

i am on b/c for painful periods just switched from microgynon to cliest and have been now taking the new ones for 2 weeks.
for 1 week i have been bleeding but my gynecologist said spotting for the first month was normal.
last night, down below was very itchy, and the same tonight, i went to the loo and when afterwards it felt as if i still had loo paper stuck there, so i looked in a mirror and it looks like my vagina has swollen.
two red lumps have appeared either side of the "hole" it does not itch but i can feel it.
what is this? the swelling has gone down a bit.
i am still a virgin, my doctor refered me to the gyne cos he believed i might have endometriosis, i get blood clots.
do you know what is wrong with me? if so what could i use to make it go? i cant go to the doctors today as i am babysitting and not for the next few days as it is christmas,
thanks

k so me and my boyfriend are going to have sex only one time (i swear!!).lol. He is going to use a condom but i know that those aren't 100% effective.
So i was just wondering if it would b ok if i took the pill only on the day that i was going to have sex?
will i end up pregnant if i only take the pill that one day still or should i take it like a few days before i have sex?
because i so don't want to become pregnant and i know that the only way to guarantee that is to be abstenent, buttttt yah know.

This is not a question that is out of experience (virgin all around am I) or immaturity. I was just seriously curious.
If a guy masturbates, get semen on his fingers and then fingers a girl could she just as well get pregnant?

I am afraid that when i have sex, the guy will get grossed out by how much i sweat. i am in good shape and drink plenty of water, i just sweat a lot when i exercise. Is there anything i can do to not sweat so much? do you even really exert that much energy during sex?

i am 17 and a few years ago was diagnosed with a imperforate hymen and because of that i was not getting my period- well i was but it was staying up there. So they made an incision and it went okay. a few weeks later i had to get another surgery with a scope and they diagnosed me with endometriosis. well that was like 3 years ago and i have been on the nuva ring for 2 years. i have really bad pain when i am on my period and it is getting worse.. like kind of a cutting pain. i also have it randomly when i am not on my cycle... is the endometriosis getting worse and if so what can i do to help ease the pain...

I have searched for information and keep coming up with nothing.. a month ago my left breast was very sore and painful.. almost like a pre menstral feeling but much much worse.. it hurt to touch or put clothes on and it felt very hard.. (I am NOT breastfeeding) I rushed to the Doc, who did an ultrasound and found nothing.. the pain eventually went away... this morning I wake up with the SAME pain only worse, on the right side.. I am not getting my period.. I am not pregnant (havent been in 5 years) and while the doctor wrote off the first side by saying I must have injured myself.. now its on the other side.. Has anyone experienced such a thing.. it is not red or distorted just very sore and hard.. (not a lump.. like the whole breast) like when your milk comes in....and just the one side... (no discharge or anything either... ) HELP!
