how long does it take for birth control pills to start working important

I have been on the same pill for 8 months, the first 6 months were fine and last month I had spotting and cramping while taking my active pills. This month I am having cramping and a lot of clear liquid discharge, but no spotting. I haven’t missed a pill, and I took two pregnancy tests last month and they were negative.

I went to the doctor last week and he said I was not pregnant (but he didn’t give me a test) and said it was just a common thing that happens with the pill. I am thinking about just throwing them all out and using condoms until my hubby and I plan to conceive in January. I still have a 4 month supply of pills left (cost me $50!), but I am sick of the constant cramping. After 5 years straight of taking the pill, my body needs a break!

Should I just throw out my birth control pills now since we plan to conceive in 3 months?

Could I be pregnant even though I have no other pregnancy symptoms?

Can a doctor tell if you are pregnant from your yearly exam?

I have read post after post where people are are telling mothers or caregivers not to worry about brushing their kids teeth until they are 3-4 years old!! To me that's just CRAZY! Baby teeth should be taken care of too- so what if they are replaced later with permanent teeth! Who wants their kids teeth to rot?? Plus teach them young about good oral hygiene.

I just hate to think that there are parents out there who don't brush their kids teeth! I would feel so guilty taking care of mine and not taking care of my helpless toddler's teeth!

What a shame!

I just found out that I'm pregnant. I have 3 other children but I've never had this kind of cramping and back aches in this stage of pregnancy. Is it normal?

Im already 34-35 weeks pregnant and Ive dropped the ball a little on researching Doctors. I found out last week that my Dr. has only been delivering babies since 2001 and got his degree in costa rica. Im pretty scared about all that. he seems nice, but that just doesnt cut it. Will other doctors decline me because of high liability now? And What do you think about the whole costa rica and 5 years in practice thing?

Okay i am 4 months pregnant. The dad was my boyfriend of a year and i dumped him when i got my bank statement back and he stole over 500 bucks from me by forging my checks. I was never going to talk to him again but i found out i am pregnant. He was using the money to do cocain. Believe it or not doing cocain does not mess up sperm so my baby should be fine. Anyways he graduated with a BS from penn state over a year ago and still has no job. He wanted to be with me or me have an abortion. I am not having an abortion so he threw me accross the room and I got a restraining order against him. What should i do about when the baby is born? Can I not put him on the birth certificate and still get child support? Where i live it is 1000 a month for day care and i make 1600 and rent is 500 so i will be hurting for money but it is better than killing an innocent person. He sends me e-mails saying he wants to be im the kids life but i don't trust him. butI don't want my kid to hate me

Hi, i was just curious. This is my first pregnancy and it has went smooth. But in my lower stomach area I get these flutters, nerve twitches, bubbles bursting, I think that is the only way to explain it but is that the baby? Sometimes if I lie in a position that is ackward I get a harder persistent thumping. Is that the baby?

I have a 2 yr. old son(3 in feb.) now and I am due on Oct. 12th to have our second child. I was wondering how your child adjusted to having his parents attention to his self and then the baby came along and took some of that attention away. I don't want my son to become upset or feel that he is less important so any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I found some new belly rings for pregnant women and their strateching belliles. These belly rings are longer than normal ones and are flexible so that the belly can stretch without pulling the belly button. Do they really work?ARe they okay to use or will my peircing holes still stretch out and look strange?

Is it normal to have a 3 year old girl sleeping in her mothers bedroom? (parents no longer live together) Are there any laws on this in Canada?

It's older..from the early 90's to be exact. It was from Graco and it had a white frame and light blue fabric with little hearts. It had a removable tray on the front as well. It didn't have a handle bar that you pushed, it was the kind with the two separate handles. Does anyone know the name of this or where I could get one? Thanks!
