My periods have been as follows:

October: 39 days
November: 31 days
December: 34 days and counting

Before October, ALL of my periods came every 28-31 days. I still feel like I am going to start my period any second, but it never comes. I had sex with my bf once this month. We used a condom and he pulled out. We checked the condom after we were done and there were no holes or tears.

I have been cramping and feel slightly bloated. I keep thinking I have started my period but it never comes. Should I be worried about pregnancy? Or is it normal for my period to be this long?

Has anyone ever been late for no reason at all? Or have your periods become irregular after being regular for years?

Asking for some advice:

So Im 19 and my curfew is around 11 pm. I rarely get the permission to drive my car at night(this is always a fight or argument to get permission to drive at night). Incredibly strict rules. I think Im mature enough to do a lot of stuff.

Note: Not to brag but Im a 4.00 second year student with chemistry as my major. I think Ive proven my maturity.

Im thinking about joining the Air Force

Okay, so I was eating lunch here at work and the news was on. I sat there watching the latest on suspended lethal injections for rapists, murderers, and serial killers then a story came on about a woman who murdered her 19 month old an threw him in a dumpster. I wanted to puke!!!! I lost my appitite, got up from the table and came back from lunch early!!! My baby is 16 months old, ever since I became a mother I CANNOT STOMACH such horrible stories, I want to beat the crap out of that woman and cry for her baby. How do you deal with such emotions that come about in this way?? Now watch, this woman won't have to pay for what she did because leathal injection in the state of California is now considered cruel and unsual punishment....WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE MAKING THESE DECISIONS??

I know that alot of schools nowdays do not allow corporal punishment anymore, but where I live alot of the schools still allow it. They send a letter home with the kids at the beginning of the year, asking if you will allow them to spank your child if they get into trouble, and you have to tell them yes or no. I have always said no, not because I am against spanking, but because I always felt that if my son needed a spanking, that it should come from me or my husband. I got a letter sent home a couple of weeks ago saying that my son had gotten 2 detentions (1 for not turning in homework one day and 1 for excessive talking). It asked if I wanted him to serve it before or after school, so I wrote before and sent it back to him. He was to serve it on Tues. and Thurs. mornings of that week. I got another letter day before yesterday that said he had been given 2 days of in school suspension, because he had not shown up at detention. I went in to talk to his principal, and was told that at the fourth grade level, they expect the kids to be responsible for serving their detentions, and that if they haven't served it within 2 weeks, they get a day of ISS. His principal said that my son was not a bad kid, but that it was just a way to teach them responsibility. She suggested that I change the form I filled out at the beginning of school, to allow them to spank him, because some children respond better to that than ISS. What would you do?

Why the hell do so many women post questions on here telling us their whole cycle and sexual history of the month, then tell us their period is 5 days late. Obviously anyone with a brain cell would just go get a pregnancy test. Yet these people act all confused and ask us if they might be pregnant! Why don't they realize a test could give them a definate yes or no? I'm just sick of it. Sorry about the rant.

I just got back from a few hours of comforting a neighbor who just got back from the hospital.His wife ended up in there after a suicide attempt. She swallowed all of her epilepsy medication and was found passed out in the bathroom. She may now have organ damage (its too early to tell yet).What caused this????? To sum it up, she and Frank (her husband) have been trying desperately for a baby for over two years now with no success. When I last talked to her, she explained to me that she had become really religious, putting all her faith in God, and attending church regularly. She believed that she would become pregnant after a dream in which God had told her "to prepare the nest" (the words she heard in the dream). She was certain she was pregnant later, but it turned out only to be a late/missed period. She was devasted. She told me that why as a good person she should be barren when drug addicts and unwed mothers can so easily get pregnant. I didn't have any answer for her. Any help?

My daughter has bypass constipation, and the doctor said to give her prune juice, but when I try to give it to her, she doesn't like it, and wont swallow it, How can I make it so she gets some at least...She's pretty smart, and even if I use a dropper she'll spit it out, I just want to get some in her, to try and help her relieve this constipation, it's very painful for her, and she cries all night long, i just want to sleep, and let her be pain free!!! Thanks!

I have a 3 month old little girl. I wake up about 2-3 times throughout the night to feed her. I just wanted some imput on how often you clean your baby bottles. Do you switch to a new bottle after every feeding? Do you just rinse it out? How often do you boil them? I dont have many friends with babies so I was just curious on what others do...Thanks O:)

I'm 22 days late, but I have taken many home pregnancy tests and even a blood test, and they're all negative. I thought I had what it's called "implantation bleeding" (time and description did match)... but how come the pregnancy test results are negative? I've always been extremely regular... why am I not getting my period?

I am a divorced single parent. I beleive it is in the best interest of my child to stay at home as well as engage my child in nursery at a balanced level at age 3. I believe that children should have support of a parent in a near constant state to provide the basis of a healthy foundation of nurturing and love at the most fundamental level. I do not understand parents who leave the upbringinging of a child to institutions who can not form the special bonds as parents from such a young child from say 6-9 months onwards. Why have a child if this is what u do?

My boyfriend and I are expecting a child this spring and he just lost his job. We are in our mid 20's and don't have much money when he IS employed. Anyway, he wants to get his little sister (16) and niece (13) something for christmas because he thinks they'll be heartbroken if he doesnt. They have a huge family and will be getting a ton on gifts from everyone else. I say that they won't care if they don't get one from us, and probably won't even notice. What do you think?

Also, I'm not trying to be stingy. I would like to get them something, or better yet make them something, but we seriously can't afford more than $10 each. What's an inexpensive or hand made gift that would cost only $10 that you would enjoy?

I'm looking at land, its the perfect location, except I don't like the school district it's in. I heard you can send kids to a school in a different district, and I want to know:

Can it be done--I don't mean private school, I mean a different public school?
If so, does it cost extra? How much?
Might the bus be able to pick him up (it isn't far out of the way at all) or will we have to drop him off and pick him up everyday?
And anything else I need to know.

My son isn't in school yet so I dont know about these things, but I will need to. We're in Ohio if it matters. Thanks!

My 3 1/2 year old has a disorder called pica. He has a compulsion to chew and eat non food items. We visit our pediatriacian regularily for blood tests on iron and lead levels but are still struggling with modifing the behavior. He takes a multivitamin daily and for a while that seemed to help. Now he is chewing on his windowsill. He gnaws at the wood and actually eats the wood. We have tried putting hot pepper oil on the wood and this deterred him for a short time. He does not limit himself to wood, he also eats books, cardboard and will chew his toys and fingers.

Does anyone out there have experience with this and if so, how do you cope with it? Do you have any suggestions as to help deter him?

Thanks!
