How long do you have to be on yaz birth control for it to start being affective?

With most pill-form birth controls you are protected on the 7th day after starting the pill pack.

The first month you start birth control is it going to be exactly ontime?

so i just started birth control due to my periods never ontime etc. ive been on it for a month and was supposed to get my period yesterday but it never came? does that mean something or will it just be late?The first month you start birth control is it going to be exactly ontime?
It can take up to 3 months for the hormones to regulate in your system. Your period may or may not come on the day it usually came without the pill. Time will tell.The first month you start birth control is it going to be exactly ontime?
No it doesn't mean it will be on time. You need to make sure you take the pill the same time every SINGLE day and never miss one. That will raise your chances of getting a regular period. As for me, been on the pill two years and I only just STARTED getting my period on the pill. ( I had a low body fat percentage and gained a little weight recently)...but now even getting my period it's not regular. Sometimes you may even get spotting mid-month (this happens to me often) just be sure to tell your doctor all about it and if he says it's fine (which I am sure it is ) it'll be fine.
birth control doesnt always regulate your period the first month, it might take a 2 or 3 months. ask your doctor or read the pamphlet that comes with it %26amp; see if u can get more info from that

My steam heater in my apartment gets way too hot, can't control it, what can I do?

In addition, I have read that removing the cover from the radiator can help make it cooler. I know this is a safety issue, but it is in a far area of the apartment I never walk near, and no pets in the house. Is this true?My steam heater in my apartment gets way too hot, can't control it, what can I do?
Have a plumber install a shut off valve for it.My steam heater in my apartment gets way too hot, can't control it, what can I do?
Because it is a rental unit you should check with your landlord. You are not authorized to have anyone do any major repairs to the unit without their approval. I have been in similiar situations and had to resort to keeping a window open. Hopefully your landlord will remedy the issue without any problems.





As far as a safety issue, it is a matter of things coming in contact with the hot surface of the unit. In addition to living things, make sure there are no combustible materials in the way like linens or curtains.
on the side of the heater is there a bullet shaped part on it?


ask a local hardware store for a thermostatic valve,. it will bleed some steam pressure out and will reduce the amount of heat
If the radiator is over sized for the space, then you must insulate it so there is no heat emission for a portion of it. Fiberglass will be fine, and then the cover can go back on.


Ask the landlord to reduce the venting action of the vent.


Turning the steam valve can lead to noisy conditions, and ask the landlord if the valve works.
  • Can someone tell me what happened in France during the Germany control of it in World War 2?

    Can someone tell me what happened in France during the Germany control of it in World War 2?





    Like how the French people were treated by the Germans, plans of fleeing the country if they able too, and about the resistance. Any additional information would be nice. If you have any links about this topic or book sources please include them. I want to know more about this subject.





    And please no smart mouth answers. I鈥檝e been researching this topic for a little while but I still want to know more. And I鈥檒l enjoy hearing your answers too!Can someone tell me what happened in France during the Germany control of it in World War 2?
    After the French defeat and the creation of the Vichy regime in the occupied zone, Pe'tain's government first repealed legislation banning incitement to racial or religious hatred, then on 3 Oct


    1940 passed its first fomal measure against the Jews, whom it defined as people with three or four Jewish grandparents, or two if they were married to a Jew. These measures had validity for the whole of France, including the occupied zone; in addition, when the German authorities in the occupied zone took steps against the Jews, the Vichy regime frequently followed suite under the pretext of preserving the administration unity of France.


    On 4 October 1940 another law created special interment camps for all foreign Jews in the Vichy zone, 40,000 Jews were interned in them by the end of 1940. For the moment they remained relatively unaffected. But this would not last. As early as August 1940 the German Embassy in Paris had begun urging the military authorities to remove all Jews from the occupied area. Action soon followed. In the occupied zone of France, the German Ambassador, Otto Abetz, urged immediate measures against the Jews. With Hitler's explicit approval, Jewish immigration to the occupied zone was banned, and preparations were made for the expulsion of all Jews who were still there.


    On 27 September 1940, with the agreement of the army Commander-in-Chief von Brauchitsch, Jews who had fled to the unoccupied zone were banned from returning, and all Jewish persons and property were to be registered in preparation for expulsion and expropriation.


    From 21 October 1940 all Jewish shops had to be marked as such. By this time the registration of around 150,000 Jews in the occupied zone was essentially complete. Also at this time the SS began taking a active role being responsible on the issue of 'The Jewish Question';.


    The Vichy regime also began carrying out Aryanization measures, by early 1942 some 140,000 Jews had been officially registered, enabling the authorities to pick them up when ever they wanted to.


    I'm trying to keep this as short as I can, all up, the French situation for the Jews was a disaster.


    On 15 July 1942 the arrest of stateless Jews began. French police used previously compiled files to identify and begin the round-up of 27,000 Jewish refugees in the Paris region. The scale of the action was so large that it could scarcely remain a secret even in the planning stage, and many Jews went undergraound. Just over 13,000 had been arrested by 17 July 1942. After sending all the unmarried peoples or childless couples to the collection camp at Drancy, the police penned up the remaining 8,160 men, women and children in the bicycle-racing stadium known as the Vel d'Hiv.


    For three to six days they stayed there without water toilets or bedding, in tempertures of 37 degrees Celsius or above subsisting only on one or two bowls of soup per day.


    Together with another 7,100 Jews from the Vichy zone , they were eventually sent via further collection centers to Auschwitz. Altogether about 42,500 were sent there by December 1942, among them was a transport sent on 24 th of August (1942) mainly of sick children and adolescents between the ages of 2 and 17 who had been kept in a hospital whilst their parents were sent to their deaths in previous transports. All 553 of them were immediately put to death on arrival at Auschwitz in the gas chamber.Can someone tell me what happened in France during the Germany control of it in World War 2?
    The conquered French were treated as equals by the Germans except those in the resistance. When France fell, its government went into exile in Great Britain and continued to rally support over the radio to the resistance. Some government officials still in France actually changed sides to the Axis powers. In doing so, they were given control of Southern France and her colonies and fought the allies until Frances liberation in 1944.
    Germans treated the French as their own, except the ones in the resistance.


    If they were caught helping jews then they were punished like a jew.


    Most French people were right along with the Germans in the prosecution of jewish people.
    They planted a lot of trees along the Champs Elysee, so the german troops could march in the shade.

    How can I get my bulimia under control,it is causing me to fail all of my classes and its only the 1st sem.!!?

    so I'm pretty sure you're stubborn like me and you don't want to see a therapist


    that's fine


    you just need to assure yourself that you aren't fat


    stand in front of the mirror and compare yourself to fat chicks


    honestly, you'll notice how thin you actually are





    This is happening to me, i know EXACTLY what you are going through. I was top of my year, now I'm at the very bottom


    start paying attention


    if you've only just started high school, you'll get back on track, but if you're a senior or a junior, then honestly, you'll probably want to get help

    Bulimia doesn't just go away for most people. You need to speak with a counselor in my opinion.

    Is trying to control something like say the weather the quickest way to lose control of it?

    Lets say as a race we did gain the ability to make the weather nice almost all the time. Is it still not true that the weather we can control has its own weather that we would not be in control of and would come to bite ourselfs in the end?





    Imo panic is the food of gods while respect is the gift of children.Is trying to control something like say the weather the quickest way to lose control of it?

    How many days do you have to take birth control for it to start working?

    Some say 7 some say 30 but all in all it's still not 100% and you still have a slight possibility of getting pregnant. I didHow many days do you have to take birth control for it to start working?
    According to my OBGYN, a woman should take birth control pills for 1-2 months before they reach their full effectiveness. So, it's possible they COULD help within the first month, but it's also highly likely they will fail to work at that time.





    And remember, no birth control method is 100%, so it's always possible to get pregnant no matter how long you have been on the pill. I've known a woman who got pregnant while using the pill AND a condom, so anything is possible. How many days do you have to take birth control for it to start working?
    If you start taking them the day you start your period then it should work right away. If you don't start on that day they say to use condoms for a certain amount of days like 7-14 days but I am not exactly sure on that. To be safe I would use back up the whole cycle if you don't start taking them the day you start your period.
    Oh my gosh NO, do not believe the people who are saying it works right away. That's why I have friends who got pregnant on their honeymoons! You are supposed to go through two full menstrual cycles (2 packs of pills) before having sex without a backup method like condoms.

    Have you ever awaken inside a dream and took control of it?

    Most of the time our subconscious mind runs things inside our dreams, it behaves like an animal, we are slaves to the environment, just following impulses and never stop to think of what we are doing and why we are doing it. Meanwhile our conscious mind is turned off.





    But sometimes it awakes, it quickly realizes it is inside a dream and starts directing things, planning, creating objects, scheming. It takes control of it's environment.





    Has it happened to you? What did you do?Have you ever awaken inside a dream and took control of it?
    It hapened to me twice.


    The first time I was spider-man and I was climbing walls!!


    The second time I was iron-man and I was flying holding a girl I like(!!) but I was scared too





    heres a cool site where you can learn many things about lusid dreams


    http://www.ld4all.com/Have you ever awaken inside a dream and took control of it?
    Yes I have. Once my grandmother was killed in my dream and horrible, horrible things began to happen. Then I realized, hey, my grandmother is alive b/c I can hear her speaking on the phone! (i was sleeping in at the time and my grandmother was on the phone) So i created obscure machines that un-did the ';horrible things'; and my grandmother ';came back to life'; in my dream.
    I use to do this all the time!





    I use to have dreams that someone or something really scary was chasing me and all I had to do was remember I could fly and all would be well. And I always realised I could fly when I realised I was in a dream.





    I could also change the content of my dream but not the pace. I once dreamt I was about to be crushed by a stampeding herd of zebras and elephants and I switched it into a horse race at the track with me as a spectator - so I was out of the way of the speeding horses and no longer in danger.
    yes i do all the time. its fun! i did last night. i was playing a strategy game called battle for middle earth 2 before i went to bed and i had a dream about it and kinda woke up in it and had complete control over everything i did in the game. i won in the end of course!
    Patricia Garfield was into this, back in the '70's- see if her book, ';Creative Dreaming'; is still in circulation- it sets out the whole picture, with techniques.


    ISBN 0-345-24955-0-175 Simon %26amp; Schuster
    Lucid dreaming, yeah did it once, but it didn't last long usually as soon as I realize I'm dreaming I wake up.





    It'd be nice to be able to do that at will, maybe get a few answers.

    When I am on birth control is it possible for me to get pregnant while on antibiotics?

    Doctors tend to tell me that i can get pregnant while taking antibiotics even if i am on birth control. They say it lessens the effects of the pill and I should use back up methods. I know that there is always a chance to get pregnant no matter what, but how likely is this?When I am on birth control is it possible for me to get pregnant while on antibiotics?
    VERY VERY VERY likely, The Dr.s Are right. same goes to drinking grapefruit Juice while on Birth Control pill ( the acid in it lessons the affect as well)


    I would just sustain from having sex while on the Antibiotics, till your system feels better and your no longer on them. Remeber all it takes is just once, Or you could use a condom, but those aren't 100% either. anti biotics are only taken from 3 or 5 or 7 days so you can wait that. And if your parnter can't well then I say Throw em to the curb. lol Good luck and hope you heal up quick.When I am on birth control is it possible for me to get pregnant while on antibiotics?
    Jenna sweetheart, You CAN get pregnant at anytime of the month, though the doctors do say it is unlikely to get pregnant before you ovulate u don't ovulate same day every month, I know cus that is how I concieved my son. blood test said I din't O but got preg. I o'd 19-23 of month concved on the 12

    Report Abuse



    Very very likely.


    Most antibiotics can possibly make BC pills ineffective or reduce the effectiveness. Be Careful!


    You should always use a backup method anyway. (Condoms)


    Whether you are taking antibiotics or not.


    We do know there are certain medicines that diminish the effectiveness of BCPs. The common antibiotics we use shouldn't affect the metabolism of BCPs. However, there have been some anecdotal reports by pill users who became pregnant while taking antibiotics. While the risk is very low, we encourage women to use condoms for the duration of their antibiotic prescription and for the following 7 days.








    These things are proven to make BCPs ineffective...


    the antibiotic rifampin. Other antibiotics DO NOT make the pill less effective.


    certain anti-fungals that are taken orally for yeast infections


    certain anti-HIV protease inhibitors


    certain anti-seizure medications


    St. John's Wort
    MUCH more likely. I know a few people personally who got pregnant while on the birth control and antibiotics combo.





    If it's only going to be for a few days, abstinence would be a great idea. If it's going to be longer, or he doesn't respect you enough to just wait, then ABSOLUTELY use condoms.





    Best of luck!!

  • How do I gain self control when it comes to eating healthy or dieting?

    I am about 30 lbs. over weight and I tried weight watchers to lose weight, it worked but I didn't stick with it so I am back were I started. I don't exercise, I don't eat right, and ALMOST don't even care. Deep down I do though and wish I could have self control over food. I know that I have self control considering I have overcome other and worse addictions just fine, one being to stop smoking cigarettes. How can I practice good eating habits for longer then a few weeks wthout giving up?How do I gain self control when it comes to eating healthy or dieting?
    You have to make a decision. Do you want to be healthy or not? Start with small steps and do it to be healthy, not so much to lose weight. I know it kind of sounds like it doesn't make sense. But if you make your goal to be healthy and not to lose weight the results will last longer! There are too many diets and pills and regiments that will help you just lose weight, but so many people gain it back because they didn't learn to live to be healthy. Start exercising 3x a week. For me I had to join a class because on my own I was not disciplined enough. Don't eat out more than once a week. This was the hardest for me. It is so tempting to just call and order pizza, or make a run to the fast food place down the street, instead of planning a meal. Once you start to lose weight, and go down in clothing sizes it is enough motivation to get you through the tough times!How do I gain self control when it comes to eating healthy or dieting?
    Seek out a Registered Dietitian. They can talk to you about what drives you to eat, when, and help you figure out ways lose weight. Plus it's customized which is always nice.
    I am struggling with the same problem, and lost 24 pounds on Weight Watchers, but I plateaued for about 6 months and am trying to break through that. I just started exercising a 1 1/2 weeks ago and already am losing weight. Maybe just take small steps at first and decide to exercise just for 15 minutes one day this week and go from there. Sometimes our eating habits, however, stem from deeper issues. I personally would explore that too and go to the one who created me to figure out how to eat right and be healthy. :)

    How long after starting Birth Control will it be effective?

    My doctor is starting me on the Pill in three days, and I'm just curious as to how long it takes for it to start working so I don't need a condom anymore?How long after starting Birth Control will it be effective?
    If you are not starting it within 5 days of the beginning of your period then it will take a full month until after your next period to become effective. If you are starting it within those 5 days it is considered effective immediately.How long after starting Birth Control will it be effective?
    It depends on a couple factors, one is the exact pill that they put you on. Some of them you have to wait 7 days, some you have to wait 14 days, and some are not effective until you start the second pack of pills. It is also important to start the pills the day after your period so that you will be fully protected. However many other factors can play into it, such as if you miss a pill, don't take the pill at the same time everyday, etc. Without the name of which pill they put you on there is no way to give you the information that you are seeking. Your best advice is to read the literature that came with the pills, post the name of the pill they gave you here, or to call your local Walgreens pharmacy and ask a pharmacist your questions.
    i just started the pill too...my doc said wait a month but then when i got home and read the pack it said I would be protected straight away.


    you have to start it the first day of your period otherwise u wont be protected for the month.


    ask your doctor as every pill is different. Obviously the longer u r on it the more hormone builds up inside you, protecting you from pregnancy and the doc will say a month just to cover himself but most pills u r protected straight away.
    It takes a month (one pack) to be established in your system and be fully protected. I didn't start it on the Sunday start because I was bleeding at the time (not a period). This is what my doctor had told me when I had to start them.





    Some doctors suggest a week (if you do a Sunday start as directed in the packet), but the longer you wait, the safer it will be against pregnancy. Everyone is different.

    When you first start birth control is it normal for your period to come early?

    I just started using birth control a couple weeks ago. I got my period 9 days early. Before I started taking the pill about 2 days before I had unprotected sex and possibly could have gotten pregnant. Is it a possibility that this is implantation bleeding? or is my body just getting use to the pill and is it normal for my period to come this early?When you first start birth control is it normal for your period to come early?
    Yes. I started early when I first began BC and it also lasted 2 1/2 weeks. The next month it was a normal 7-8 day withdrawal bleed that happened during my placebo pill week.When you first start birth control is it normal for your period to come early?
    You had sex, so yes you could be pregnant, take a test to be sure. But most likely it's just your body adjusting to the hormones.

    How does irregular taking of birth control affect it's effectiveness?

    If a girl is on birth control, but doesn't take it for that specific reason, merely to regulate her period. And she takes it at a relatively different time every day, how does that affect the odds of pregnancy?How does irregular taking of birth control affect it's effectiveness?
    If it's just to regulate your period, then chances are it's a low dose, which, sorry to say, is not that effective against pregnancy. Of course, I'm sure it depends on the individual. Anyway, if you're concerned about getting pregnant, always use a condom, too. That'll help protect against diseases and stuff too. I know that for a pill to be the most effective, you need to take it at a similar time every day.How does irregular taking of birth control affect it's effectiveness?
    Its the best idea to take it at the same time every day, but taking it in the morning one day %26amp; then the next evening isn't going to make much of a difference, if at all.





    Now missing the pills is a completely different story. That is when birth control becomes less effective %26amp; greatly increases the chances of getting pregnant.
    It lowers its effectiveness against pregnancy. It needs to be taken at the same time.
    If you aren't using it for birth control, taking it at the same time daily isn't really going to hurt anything. I take it to regulate my periods and I often miss a day. However, missing it for 2 days in a row will make my period come on.








    As long as a woman takes it within the same 12 hour period each day, it's fine and will prevent pregnancy. If it's not taken correctly, your ovaries will start to function normally again and you can get pregnant.

  • When you start the first pack of birth control does it stop ovulation for that month?

    I started it on the 'Sunday after my period' which was day 3 of my period. Please help.When you start the first pack of birth control does it stop ovulation for that month?
    It might, it might not. That's why they tell you to use a back-up form of birth control for the first month.When you start the first pack of birth control does it stop ovulation for that month?
    It says on the directions to use another form of birth control for the first 7 days after you start the pack. But, I always just used a back-up birth control (condoms) for the first month, just to be on the safe side.

    Most 'boyfriends' don't want anything with a girl but fun. Are you sure he knows you're trying to conceive a baby with him?How many days after you stop taking birth control is it still in affect?
    You have a chance of getting pregnant immediately after you stop. For some women their body has to regulate its cycle again, so it might be a few months before you can track your ovulation, but I have a few friends who got pregnant during the first month off the pill.
    Some people get pregnant right away, some people try for a year. How long will it take you? Only time will tell. Just be patient, have sex 2-3 times a week and it will happen when it happens.





    Good luck and baby dust!!!
    Well, it's possible that you can conceive on the NEXT cycle after you stop the pills. You won't ovulate the month you stop the pill.
    i would say about a week or two depending on what kind you were on. i was on yaz which has a really low dose of hormones and i got pregnant two weeks later

    How can I get free or cheap birth control without it showing up on my parent's insurance?

    I'm 18 and ready to start having sex. However,I'm not quite ready to break the news to my dad. So I was wondering if there are any places (in Michigan or on the internet) where I can get free birth control without it being billed on my dad's insurance.How can I get free or cheap birth control without it showing up on my parent's insurance?
    Planned Parenthood will provide you with birth control, and it's completely confidential. Kudos to you for protecting yourself from the start.How can I get free or cheap birth control without it showing up on my parent's insurance?
    Do you have a job and are you supporting yourself? If not, you are too young to have sex. Even with the Pill, you risk getting pregnant and will either need to pay for an abortion or support your child. Sex is an ADULT activity and not for kids. Adults don't rely on their parents to support them.
    I grew up in Michigan and if I remember correctly you can go to your local health department and they provide birth control for free. Give that a go :)

    Cowlick driving me crazy! How to control it?

    I have a cowlick right along my hairline in the front. It's off-center and increasingly exasperating. It ruins the whole look of my hairstlye. I have long blonde hair parted just a little to the right and no bangs. I like to wear it loose and straight but my cowlick ruins the symmetry and makes my face look unbalanced. It's the thing I hate most about my hair and I'm looking for sympathy (:P) and ideas on how to tame an out of control cowlick. Thanks!Cowlick driving me crazy! How to control it?
    With you there. :P





    I have 2 cowlicks, right at the top of my part on each side, they drive me crazy!





    The best way I've fond to get rid of the (temporarily, of course) is to straighten my hair in those spots. It takes a lot of heat but is totally worth it. A lot of the time I'll use my straightener on just those parts, if I'm going for a lazy hair style (The days I get up late, or just don't care).





    Another way (already mentioned) is the hair spray way. Most of the time I use it to control the fly aways around the cowlick, it doesn't seem strong enough to get rid of the entire thing. But what I do is spray the hair spay on my hand, then smooth my hair down my hair starting at the top.Cowlick driving me crazy! How to control it?
    My sister has this same problem and after years of her fighting it I finally convinced her to do a side part and use the cowlick to an advantage it helps give her height on one side You can't change the way your hair grows Some of my clients have found after using hair color which coats the hair shaft they are better able to get it to lay down Good luck
    you could use hairspray and pat it down.

    ~~Ali. :)When cats purr, is it voluntary? Or can they not control it?
    They can't control it. it is a vibration of cartalidge in the back of it's throat. When they are scared, they purr, and when they are happy they purr. With big cats, they cant purr. They have a bone that vibrates instead of cartalidge, so they roar.When cats purr, is it voluntary? Or can they not control it?
    I read somewhere that cats often purr as a way to signal to others (animals or people) that they are being non-threatening, it may be that it has evolved in this way but they obviously do it when they are happy too, so it's linked with their emotions also.





    Cats that are in pain will often purr and in that situation it seems to be a distress signal, like crying in humans.
    I don't think it's voluntary. I have read that when they feel any ';strong emotion'; they will purr. However, I haven't found any conclusive information on how they purr. I've heard everything from the aforementioned cartilage theory, to one theory that says the sound comes from blood hitting the aorta. Wikipedia mentions both of these theories if you look under ';purr';. It's inconclusive, but quite interesting. Here is the link......
    they can control they can turn on and off when it fits them and no one else.
  • How long does it take to get incontinence under control? Will it ever end completley?

    I have been going to a Dr for about a year and a half and they have found no solution for me. I went through so many different procedures. I hear commercials that this problem can be gone within just a few visits? What gives??? Please only serious answers. I am going to the Dr. for a visit soon to discuss this and tell him I need to know if he can help or I need to seek another specialist.How long does it take to get incontinence under control? Will it ever end completley?
    It depends on what caused your incontience to begin with. An injury, your age, radiation treatments, prior surgeries? I would strongly urge you to go to a physician who specializes in this condition though. I am a nurse in this type of field and I have seen a lot of people both younger and older with this problem and they have verbalized to me, '; I wish I would have come here first';


    Some times its a twist in medications that can help, other times physicians will recomend what we call biofeedback, its a type of retraining, other times surgicial interventions are the best bet!!!


    Please remember as a patient you are your own best advocate!!!!


    Good luckHow long does it take to get incontinence under control? Will it ever end completley?
    it all depends on what has caused it to begin with. my husband has his prostrate removed five months ago , and still has problems with the incontinenece. even though its not as bad as it was at the beginning, he just has accustomed himself to wearing the male guards not diapers till the problem goes away.

    i would love to know people's answers to this one too! i was on the pill for a LONG time and ive been off for 6 months and just started trying.





    i have heard of ppl getting pregnant right away after stopping the pill!
    3 years and i keep having miscarrages because of it i was on the depo and the bill it has really screwed me up but everyone is different good luck
    Seven years on birth control and two weeks off of it is all it took for me and one of my friends. Our babies were born two days apart as well.
    I was on it for about 8 months and it took me about 2 months to get pregnant. I am now 8 months pregnant
    i was on birth control for 5 months and i got pregnant while i was still on it =] lol
    Still trying after 6 months (I have PCOS unfortunately)!
    I was on it for about 6 years and I have been off it since October and still trying. :(

    I brush my bull mastiff every day yet she still shed's like crazy everyday. How can i control it?

    I feel your pain. I have 2 neo mastiffs- the hair is enough to make me want to cry sometimes. Bathe and brush-bathe and brush. My older male LOVES to be vacumed. He follows me around the house till I vacume him. I have heard of these new ';vacume'; type cleaners for dogs-that somehow really get to the undercoat and my sister told me her neighbors dog (Shamus-the St. Bernard) looks like a different dog after being done. Now that's great if your dog is not afraid like my other one is. She see's the vacume and runs the other way. I got into the routine- EVERYDAY...sweep/vacume/just surrender to it. Or it will drive you nuts. I mean, aren't they totally worth it??? : )I brush my bull mastiff every day yet she still shed's like crazy everyday. How can i control it?
    well what brush are you using? i have a labrador retrever and she sheds alot in the summer from all her winter coat and i found out that if you brush your dog with like a hair comb or like a flee comb it gets alot of the hair OFF your dog. yes she will still shed but when your dog goes to ich her side or something, if you brush her with a small toothed hair comb or like a flee comb it gets alot off her and less hair will come off her. see what happens is when you brush her with a dog brush that looks like a human hair brush, that just makes your dog looked...well....brushes, but when you brush her with one of the combs i said it will get the fur closest to her skin which help. she will just scrach off the hair she scraches off insted of the hair she scraches off AND the hair that just fell off with out ever coming off her





    hop that helpsI brush my bull mastiff every day yet she still shed's like crazy everyday. How can i control it?
    its the season for dogs like mastiffs! shedding season!

    Can i skip my period with birth control if it already started?

    My insurance wouldnt let me get my pills until today, meaning this is my third day of placebos. My period just started and is very light and i wanted to skip this month. If i get my pack and start the white pills right now, will my period go away? Will the birth control still be effective throughout the whole month?Can i skip my period with birth control if it already started?
    I'm a little confused at how you would skip your period, so you must take a pill I'm not familiar with. BUT, general bc knowledge would say no, your period won't go away, but it might get lighter. As for it being effective.... You said you are taking the placebos right now? If you take the same bc starting the day after you take the last placebo, it should be. Placebos are only there to help with the habit of taking it everyday, so if you start up again when the normal pills would be taken it'll be like you never stopped taking it. If you take a different kind of birth control or miss any days of actual birth control, it'll take some time to re-establish its effectiveness. Hope this helps!Can i skip my period with birth control if it already started?
    Hmm...if your body is off the pills for a prolonged period of time (with the addition of the extra days given by taking the new pack's placebo pills) I think that might make the pills less effective initially...If you want your period to go away, I think taking your active pills should accomplish that while keeping you fully protected.

    How long after you start taking birth control can it stop your period?

    If I start taking it about a week before I get my period will it still come?How long after you start taking birth control can it stop your period?
    You will probably not bleed that first cycle if you start the pill, but may have some spotting.





    (But there's no real point in starting then. You won't be protected from pregnancy for a couple of weeks. Just wait until you DO get your period, and start on the first day. You will then be protected immediately, and will save the cost of a pack of pills.)

    What causes AD-HD in children? And is there a better option to Control it other than medication?

    I have ad-hd. But really everyone does. It's an over analyzed condition in most children. Of course some cases are more severe and can even lead to short tempers in children/ people.





    I think just being aware of it, and not using it as an excuse.


    There are herbal supplements and vitamins safe for anyone at organic pharmacies etc.





    They work differently than psychoactive drugs.





    I have ad-hd and severe depression... according to the books and my doctors.


    Sure, but I haven't taken my med in over a year. And I figured it all out on my own. And also with help from friends family and counseling.

    You can probably pay your utility bills by direct debit.
    You need to speak to a reliable agent either in Scotland, or Portugal, regarding the law + taxes due in both Scotland and Portugal. Beware of cowboys in this matter.
    Put your utility bills on Direct debit and go paperless so that you don't have to worry about bills behind the door that is what I did.

    I can't stop crying - stress/anxiety related. How can I control it?

    I am really worried about a situation that might happen at work. It's something I've always feared. I just keep sobbing and bawling thinking about what if it happens. I don't know what to do.I can't stop crying - stress/anxiety related. How can I control it?
    You really should speak to a counselor about your overwhelming fear. Call your mental health center and make an appointment.





    Let me share this with you: I am an old woman, and my experience in life has led me to understand that the thing I have always feared most is the ONE thing that I have had to face, accept, and overcome.





    And here's the best part: that thing I feared happening turns out to be the best thing that could have happened for me at that time in my life!





    Speaking with a therapist, or someone who has been in the same position as you fear, will help you face that fear. If the worse does happen you CAN turn it into an opportunity for change.





    Now is the time for YOU to take charge of your fears. Make that call.





    Good luck to you.I can't stop crying - stress/anxiety related. How can I control it?
    I can completely understand where your coming from I have been there myself but you have to think of something that is less distressing start thinking of blue skies or something happier because if you let this get to you. You may upset yourself so much that you will make it happen whatever it is. try and find out what options you will have or how you can deal with the situation if and when it happens because it might help you to feel stronger.

    How long after you got off birth control did it take before you got pregnant?

    My boyfriend and I have came to the decision of getting off the pill.


    If we get pregnant we'll be happy. If we don't, it's ok. Whatever happens now.


    We're not really trying to get pregnant but we both really want a baby together we just know that you can't really plan for this.


    So I was just wondering how high the chances of getting pregnant sooner happen right after leaving the pill. I've heard that it sometimes happens faster once a woman gets off birth control pills. What was your experience?





    All answers are greatly appreciated!


    Thanks in advanced!How long after you got off birth control did it take before you got pregnant?
    I went off BC and got pregnant that mnth..good luckHow long after you got off birth control did it take before you got pregnant?
    I was off and on birth control for a while. i still haven't gotten pregnant after a couple months of being off of it. but i don't think thats the reason why. it also depends on what birth control you were on. talk to your obgyn about it.





    good luck!
    I stopped my last birth control patch the month of my wedding, and finished my period two days after the wedding. On my one month anniversary, the test was a big bright positive. I was on it for four months. God bless.

    How long after starting birth control is it okay to have unprotected sex?

    I've been on birth control for almost 3 years. i recently stopped using it like 3 months ago. i just got back on 3 days ago and ive had unprotected sex since then. am i going to get pregnant or am i okay??How long after starting birth control is it okay to have unprotected sex?
    Nope- most birth controls state they take 1 month to have full effect. Three days will definitely not prevent pregnancy. Is it recent enough to take Plan B (not the abortion pill, don't freak out people)? It can prevent pregnancy if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex. The sooner you take it, the better the chances of prevention. And, you don't need a prescription. You might want to check it out.

    When to start taking birth control if it is to regulate period?

    My girlfriend was just prescribed birth control to regulate her periods. The medication says that you should wait until your next period to start, the problem is her next period probably won't be for another 6 months. What should she do? This is the first time she's been on birth control pills.When to start taking birth control if it is to regulate period?
    Ask her to call a doctor .When to start taking birth control if it is to regulate period?
    Yes, ask the doctor.





    Otherwise just start the pack at the beginning (e.g. on sunday) and just go. Her periods will even out eventually
    She can start today, or anytime she wants, since she is not having a period.
    Your girlfriend should ask her doctor 'when' to start taking the pills to 'regulate' her periods. He knows 'what is prescribed' and how your girlfriend should 'take the pills' ... so tell her to go back to her doctor and ASK.
    If her doctor prescribed her the pills for regulation, then the doctor should have instructed her when to start the pills as well. I would have her call the doctor that gave her the prescription back for in depth instructions. I have to say that I'm as well on birth control pills for regulation and it really works...just make sure she does it the right way...for sure call!
    I was prescribed birth control to regulate my periods too. My doctor told me that I could either wait till my next period or I could just start taking them, and they would still regulate my period.

    How long after starting birth control does it become active?

    I started my birth control 3 weeks ago and am wondering how long until it is fully active? Thanks!How long after starting birth control does it become active?
    When babies stop crawling out of you.How long after starting birth control does it become active?
    Well, when you went to see the doctor they should have went over this with you.





    It all depends on the birth control.





    I would suggest a month since I dont know what type of application you are taking.





    Pill takes 2 weeks to a month til it becomes effective.





    Patch, doctors say 2 weeks, but I would stay a month to be sure.





    The ring is fully effective as 5-7 days. I would still suggest 2 weeks to be sure.





    BUT! Birth Control is not the only thing you should use to be safe. Dont be stupid, Birth control does not mean go to town without other things such as a condom.





    Be safe. There are enough people in this world making mistakes and raising children when they are still young themselves. Watch out for only you.
    about a week. Thats why they tell you to juse some other protection at the start of any birth control to reduce the risk of becoming preg. till the birth control takes effect.
    Generally, about two months. But it differs sometimes by brand. Check the information packet that came with your prescription. If your not sure, and nervous, just second type protection.
    It should be working. When I was on progesterone only pills its just took 10 days. You could just always call your gynecologist and ask or read the pamplet that came with your pills.
    They generally want you to use a back-up form of birth control for the first full month. So, use a condom until you start your second pack.
    I believe it's 30 days. You could do a search on your particular birth control or call your pharmacist and ask.
    its active 1 month after you start...i just started a few days ago..your doctor should have told you that.......did she? hope i helped. =))
    To be fully in your system and 97-99% effective- 1-3 months.
    yeah my pill is active from day 1 however there should be instructions supplied if unsure you should ask your doctor
    ummm we'll I think you have to go through your first back then it should be fully active.So that your use to that cycle.
    birth control makes you look fatter


    just use condoms
    most take 3 months to start being fully affective
    months. like 30 days - 3 months i think
    1AN 3 MONTHS
    about 7 days so yer good!
    no idea,srry :( im only 13
    what kind of birth control????


    if its pills or patch or shot then yes... u are good

    When your first start birth control is it normal to bleed while having sex?

    its nothing heavy..but i reccently when to get a pap smear,and everything came out negative..is this due to BC.When your first start birth control is it normal to bleed while having sex?
    It may not just be during sex. You could be spotting. Any hormonal birth control can cause spotting. If the spotting is problematic you should see your doctor for a different type of birth control. It may be as easy as switching to another pill (I assume you are on the pill). If you are on depo, then it is highly common to spot, as well as with an IUD. A doctor can play around with different pills to get you the right one that causes the least side effects. You should discuss this with your doctor to be sure it is birth control related.When your first start birth control is it normal to bleed while having sex?
    You should read the side effects of them on the information that comes with them.It is possible .Also you can consult your doctor. It doesnt sound serious though
    Could be. Check the information that came in the pack. My friend was on a pill that caused continuous spotting for like a month. She thought it was strange, but when she looked at the info, she saw it is a normal side effect.

    I want to start working in pest control Is it worth it?

    I live and California and I have a opportunity to start working in this field.





    They will give me all the decals and schooling for 2000.00





    I just don't know if I should do it or not. Please help I am just a young kid trying to get ahead in life any advice would be great.





    Thank you sooo much.I want to start working in pest control Is it worth it?
    You should ask yourself if this is really something you want to do for the rest of your life. If not, is it something you can do temporarily while you go to school for something else? What are you interested in? Asking yourself questions is the only way you'll find the answer. Unfortunately, you haven't provided any details about any of those type of things.. your wants, desires, needs, etc. How much would they even pay you an hour? If I were you, I'd probably want to train in something that a) I'm interested in and b) I can foresee a long and at least fairly happy future in. Perhaps pest control is for you, and perhaps it's not. Research and think about it, and you'll probably find your answer. Good luck!

    If you stop taking birth control is it normal to start your period early?

    is it normal to start period earlier than normal after stopping the pill? After not taking it for a month, and starting again does that make your stomach sensitive all over again? Does it take time for your body to get used to the pill again?If you stop taking birth control is it normal to start your period early?
    It is normal for you cycle to become disrupted after stopping the pill, because the pill regulates your hormones, which in turn regulates your cycle. now your hormones are in different proprtions than you were used to, so its natural for your body to act differently.


    If you restart your pill, it depends on how long you were off of it as to the amount of side effects you will have to endure, if it was just one month, then i would say that you would have to no discomfort from it.If you stop taking birth control is it normal to start your period early?
    Yes, yes and yes. I believe you can find that information also on the insert that came with your prescription.
    yes, some times if you miss a couple of pills you'll come on early.
    yea i guess i don't know
  • I have never seen a nude beach. I wonder when I go there, my private part reacts, How can I control it?

    I m a male 24 yrs but I had never seen anybody nude live. What precautions can I take?I have never seen a nude beach. I wonder when I go there, my private part reacts, How can I control it?
    I'd suggest that before you go, do something to ease your tension... a little self-love, if you know what I mean. ;) Then after you get nude, wrap a big towel around your waist like you've just gotten out of the shower. Then sit back and wait to see what your manhood does. If you're lucky, you can make it to the water, and it may probably be pretty cold.I have never seen a nude beach. I wonder when I go there, my private part reacts, How can I control it?
    Refer to Ralph above. Just pick out someone you know will gross you out (and there's plenty of them) in case that happens. Or, head straight for the water.
    hey just let it fly be free and when you see the old people it will go down
    the nude beach in the usa is full of gay men so don't get a hard on there, or else they will be calling each other to come look. nude beaches arent as much fun as you think mostly old peole and gay men. most peole look better with a little something on. dont go its a msitake.





    in europe they are better but ahve lots of families laying in the sun and eating picnics which is kinda weird the whole family mom dad grandparents and kids all nude hanging out on the beach.
    Duct tape, rubber cement, and thumb tacks
    bring an iced cold drink. if that part reacts give it the cold treatment. make sure to stock on ice. happy oggling. you can pinch yourself too.
    Drink a lot of whisky, it affects your ability to get an erection.

    How long do i have to be on birth control before it kicks in?

    I just got engadged and the wedding is a year away. My cute boy and I are waiting till we are married. How long before the wedding do I need to go talk to a doctor and start, or do things such as the pill or patch all differ in the amount of time till they become affective?How long do i have to be on birth control before it kicks in?
    I'm really suprised at how many women don't know the answer to this. Not you, because this sounds like your first time on birth control but the amount of wrong answers people give. No wonder so many people are having unplanned pregnancies.





    Its take THREE... yes, *THREE* months to become effective. So after you're done your thrid pack you will be protected from the pill or patch, whichever you choose.How long do i have to be on birth control before it kicks in?
    If commenced on the contraceptive pill use other precautions such as condoms for the first 7 days. If you have never been on the pill before I would suggest you start on it at least 3 months before the wedding that way if you have any problems with it they will be ironed out. Then you can enjoy your wedding day. Hope this helps.
    to be safe start liek 2 months early if not 3 or 4 that away youe body wont be going through any thign weird like spotting ans such witch can happen in some girls and that away you know you are good and protected.
    id go about 3 or 4 months before your wedding , as it takes a few months for your body to fully adjust. then you'l be fully prepared and wont fall pregnant until you decide you want to have kids.
    They are effective within two days of taking it.

    What is role of govt (State or Central) to control inlation in real estate industry? who can control it?

    What is Home loan rate of intrest for fixed and flexible? wht do you think whether home loan intrest rate will hike or low?What is role of govt (State or Central) to control inlation in real estate industry? who can control it?
    Govt do generally monitor real estate prices as it is a sensitive sector. Orderly growth and standardized process is necessary with respect to the price of any sector but more so with real estate as the whole banking system is based on the notion that real estate prices are relatively less fluctuate and reflects a realistic growth. Remember if real estate collapses entire banking system do follow the same.Though the reach of the govt by direct means to control the prices is limited in free market economy it follows the indirect means of controlling prices by regulating credit through banking channels. Reserve bank of India squeezes or eases liquidity to be flown into real estate by variety of measures through its credit and monitory policies. Regarding home loan interests for one year since now they Will raise after which there may be some cooling off.What is role of govt (State or Central) to control inlation in real estate industry? who can control it?
    It's a shared responsibility between the banks and the buyers. Banks shouldn't extend credit(or at least too much credit) to the underqualified, and people should know what they can reasonably afford before they even look at buying a house in the first place. It's what caused this mess to begin with.





    But, in the end, it's all about greed.

    Do you feel in control of your own world or does it control you?

    Or is it all just an illusion? Do you numb the pain, or embrace it masochistically because you feel you don't matter?Do you feel in control of your own world or does it control you?
    Nope! In control here.





    Life is not meant to be a struggle. It should flow with effortless ease , harmony, and simplicity. Suffering is always the effect of wrong thought in some direction. It is an indication that the individual is out of harmony with himself, the universe, and the law of his being.





    If you let cloudy water settle, it will become clear. If you let your turbulent mind settle, your path will also become clear. The secrets of the universe are only secrets to a noisy mind. Silence is the veil of God.





    (What else do you expect from someone called Tao Barbie? LOL)Do you feel in control of your own world or does it control you?
    We are all ultimately under the control of the great forces of nature. The greatest and the most terrible gift nature has given us is our consciousness, our ability to reason and to think outside the box.





    I don't think it's all an illusion. But if it is, it really makes no difference in the end.





    I think we numb the pain whenever we don't think about the inevitable and the unknowable; when we pretend we are content with it all. We embrace the pain whenever we are in our own heads and are asking questions such as the one you have.
    Big questions.


    Uh, I don't really know because I believe everything has a reason behind it, though when life sucks for me I fail to see what kind of not-pointless reason is behind that... Lol. I don't feel in control at all, I guess.
    Its not about controlling the world or it controlling you. Its about being happy with yourself and decisions.
    I have the absolute control over the world
    Obama wants to control your healthcare. Dont let him.

    How long after you start taking birth control is it effective?

    I started it a week and a half ago and had unprotected sex tonight. Is it going to be effective?How long after you start taking birth control is it effective?
    it takes 2 weeks.its so your body gets used to the pill.How long after you start taking birth control is it effective?
    hmm...i would say no...but thats my own opinion nothing really to back it up. i would think it needs to have time to build up in your system. Just b/c you are on the pill doesn't mean you wont get pregnant. If you aren't trying you def. need to take other methods as well..such as condoms.
    Most birth control takes a week to start


    the pill


    the depo


    the depovera


    not sure about the rest
    It depends on the type of pill your taking. It's usually a week but it can take up to a month.
    read the insert that came with your BCP's

    How long after you start on birth control does it become effective?

    I've heard 7 days, a month, or 3 months.How long after you start on birth control does it become effective?
    my friend is getting married in July and her doctor told her she has to start taking the pill 3 months before....How long after you start on birth control does it become effective?
    it depends on what kind you are taking. for the ones that last a month, pills, patch, ring, etc it's after you've been taking them for a month and once you've had your period and starttaking them again is when they are working.
    The depo shot, when taken when during your period, has immediate results. When taken before or after your period, has a 7 day waiting period.


    I recommend the shot-- no pill to take everyday and more effective.
    With the brand that I took I was told 30 days by my doctor.


    After you start your first period after taking the pill.
  • How long after you quit birth control does it take to get out of your body?

    I've been on some form of birth control for over 3 years and I just quit. Now me and my other half are trying to have a baby. How long will I have to wait until its all out of my system and I can get pregnant?How long after you quit birth control does it take to get out of your body?
    Again, it depends on the form of b/c. The Depo Shot can take a year to get out of your system, for example. However, you can get pregnant the very next month after stopping the combined pill. Of course, it also depends on your body but 3 years isn't too long to be on the pill (some women are on it for 10 years!) and if you're eating right and taking Folic Acid (or multi-vitamins) then your body will heal and get ready quickly, I'm sure! Good luck :)How long after you quit birth control does it take to get out of your body?
    All depends on the birth control. I had my implanon out on Monday and the nurse explained to me that if i'd had sex within 5 days previous to this then I could fall straight away however don't think in my case thats likely, lol. Double check with your doc if you have any concerns %26amp; remember 3 years on bc is a long time.





    Good luck xx
    there is no set time.. everyone body is different.. sometimes as soon as you stop you get pregnant.. good luck.. while you are trying you should change your eating habits and they say that you should stay away from caffeine because it can interfere with conception.. also you should start taking some type of prenatal vitamins.. you can get them over the counter or if you tell your doctor you are trying they will give you a prescription for some.
    I went off mine in January and I am still not pregnant however my OBGYN told me not to try to get pregnant in the first 3 months so the BC can get out of my system. We tried anyway but nothing yet. I know people who have gotten pregnant right away and others it took a year. Good luck!
    Could be instantaneous. Consider the fact that woman have gotten pregnant while on the pill, after missing their pill for just a few hours, or without missing it at all.





    Good luck, and talk to your doctor about any concerns that you have.
    took me 2 years

    How long after beginning the birth control is it completely effective?

    Pretty self explanitory.How long after beginning the birth control is it completely effective?
    In general if you start it on the first day of your period it's effective within a week.


    If you start it any other time it takes a month.





    It's best to check with whoever prescribed you it though just in case it's different or at least check the instructions that came with it :)How long after beginning the birth control is it completely effective?
    If you take the bc pills of a reputed company, regularly, daily, right from the third day of your periods, and follow the instructions on the pack, you may be sure that you are safe right from the first day of your taking the tablet.


    However as a precautionary measure, to be doubly sure, you may use a condom during your first cycle.
    Read the package, Usually its only one week. However it is safe to wait at least 3 weeks before having unprotected intercourse.





    Remember. Birthcontrol is NEVER completely effective, and you can always get pregnant, so unless you don't mind having a baby you should use a condom either way.
    discuss this in detail with your gyn %26amp; pharmacist BEFORE beginning the med. use condoms.
    One full cycle to be safe...and you always want to be safe in this area.
    About two weeks, but you want to give it a little more time, just in case.
    It works immediately. Go have sex now.
    Stop being a slut and you won't need it.

    How long after your start birth control does it begin to work?

    Im on the ortho mini pill and i started it the day after i started my period, which was 5 days ago. Is it working by now?How long after your start birth control does it begin to work?
    i use the same thing my doctor said it start about 48hrs after u take ur first pill but most doctors recommend to still use condoms the first month just to make sureHow long after your start birth control does it begin to work?
    I have heard that you should start taking the pill no less than 2 weeks before you plan to have sex. Better safe than sorry, eh? Just use a condom until then if you aren't sure.
    The doctor told me is safer to use condom or other contraceptive method until at least 2 weeks of taking the pill that is the safest way to go
    It usually takes about a month to be fully protected, so it's a good idea to use a backup contraception until then.
    It's usually 2 weeks.
    My doc always told me at least 2 weeks of pills before having unprotected sex.
    good question, was wondering the same thing...

    Has anyone played Major League Baseball 2k8 for ps2? The only batting control it is letting me use is?

    the right analog stick for the swing stick batting. I was trying to just use the regular old just push x to hit the ball and I see that in the control menu but is there something special i have to do for that to work?Has anyone played Major League Baseball 2k8 for ps2? The only batting control it is letting me use is?
    Yea i have the same problem dude...Has anyone played Major League Baseball 2k8 for ps2? The only batting control it is letting me use is?
    you can change it to swing by just pressing ';x'; button if you go into the settings menu and change the swing option control

    When should I start taking birth control if it is to regulate my period?

    My doctor prescribed me birth control pills to regulate my period but the instructions on the pack say to take it when my next period starts. Problem is - I have no idea when that will be! Anyone have any idea when is the best day to start taking it? Can I just start now? Thanks a lot.When should I start taking birth control if it is to regulate my period?
    When did your doctor say to start taking it?





    Call him/her up and ask. Inform them that you have no idea when your period will start.When should I start taking birth control if it is to regulate my period?
    Honey this happen to my daughter just las month! Her periods were soooooooooooooo long she thought she had polyps and something she had a lot of test, but it was all negative, so her doc told her to take the birthcontrol pills to regulate and it took a while for her to get her period but it came and she started the pills and it works! wait until u get your period honey dont rush nothing...u may make it worse.
    I dont understand why your doctor didnt tell you. Anyway generally i was told to take the first sunday after my last period. SO that would be Today.
    first, you must choose which day of each month (monday,tuesday,wednesday,thursday,frida鈥?saturday or sunday) you want to start each package with.


    for me, i chose sunday.


    therefore, the first pill i took was on the first sunday that came after my period.


    let's say i had gotten my period on sunday, i take the first pill that day.
    Wait until the Sunday after you next period. Don't start now since you don't know where you are at in your cycle. It will just make things worse. The hormones in each week of pills are meant for that specific week, so taking the wrong one may make it take longer to be effective.

    How big a dosage of birth control does it take?

    Ok, so How big a dosage of birth control does it take to have an abortion/miscarriage without overdosing on birth control? One of my friends might be pregnant, and she insists she'll get an abortion one way or another, even if she has to have someone hit her in the stomach, which could cause more damage then she would mean too... With the recent law being passed here that says someone under the age of 18 can't get an abortion, she's kind of stuck. I just want the safest way for her to have an abortion or miscarriage, even though I don't believe in that... I just don't want her to hurt herself. I'm trying to get her to reconsider, but if all else fails I at least want her to be safe. Help.How big a dosage of birth control does it take?
    High doses of estrogen that are used for the morning after pill are only effective to stop a pregnancy before it happens not cause an abortion. I am sure that her parents will not disown her, they may be very angry for a while but trust me as long as she is up fornt and honest things will be fine. She needs to tell her parents ASAP. She needs to see a doctor for prenatal care very early in her pregnancy. Talk her through it and be her support, it's the best thing that you can do for her. GOOD LUCK.How big a dosage of birth control does it take?
    She is underage and you want to help her right? Talk to your Mom, her Mom, someone at planned parenthood, call a crisis hot line. Do something proactive to help your friend. If she gets mad at you, so what, at least you have the satisfaction of knowing that you may have saved HER LIFE!! Her choices could result in serious injury.
    Don't take matters into your own hands.
    Dude! Using birth control to kill your friend's unborn child is not the answer. Abortion is wrong, period. I know I sound harsh, but there are other ways. Has she thought about adoption? Don't kill a human life just because its an 'inconvinece'.
  • Does God understand about teenagers lusting and masturbating since we can't control it?

    well i want to know if God understands why we teens masturbate over others by lusting or does he get mad over it?not to get personal but i masturbate and lust.does that make me a bad person?i mean i am 15 years old an i can't control myself.so does God understand?Does God understand about teenagers lusting and masturbating since we can't control it?
    It's normal. Don't feel bad about it, you are at an age when hormones are raging. Anyone who tells you that God does not approve of masturbation is misinformed.Does God understand about teenagers lusting and masturbating since we can't control it?
    I would say that He understands why adult males do it, so I would like to think that He also comprehends why you do it.





    While I think I understand why you want Him to understand, there really is nothing to forgive (so long, of course, as you are not harming anyone or anything via the solo activity that you do). By the way, if you are masturbating to the point that the same is interfering with relationships, activities, or things that you find pleasurable, enjoyable, enriching, or positive for you, then you have an unhealthy addiction to masturbation that you might want to seek professional help for. If, however, this is not the case, I would just enjoy your life as it is and not dwell on all of this stuff too much.
    wow buddy i went though the same thing when i was your age. im now 19 and i must say its still hard not to lust lol


    I know God understands but as Christians he wants us to have more self control. He says our bodies are temples.And im sure if God were standing there watching you, he would be very sad that one of his children fell into temptation. So he doesnt get mad, if anything He's sad. but He still loves us and he know lusting will only violate our body and minds.


    And noo our not a bad person, but it seems you know whats right and if you do than it makes it worst b/c its one thing doing it and not knowing....but it's worst when you know your sinning and continue to do it.


    dont try to stop all together b/c that wont work, but what i did was anytime i felt like lusting or masterbating i would say to myself'; is this something that God would be pleased with';,and if you continue to lust and masterbate after that than that leads to an entirely different level of sin that you dont want to be involve with, trust me on that.
    First of all, you're not a bad person. Let's get that straight.





    Lust is lust, not matter who's doing it. And yes, lust in the eyes of God is bad. It doesn't matter you're a teenager, it's still bad to lust or have lustful thoughts of others. This is (according to the word of God) just as though you were actually committing an act of adultery (sex without marriage). Matthew 5:28 states:


    ';But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart';





    So there you go, lust is bad.





    And you CAN control it. Thinking that you can't control it is not the way to think. You need to know that you have power and dominion over your body and it is subject to you desires and will, not the other way around. If you want to please God, show him by controlling the desires of the flesh and abounding in the Spirit.





    We all make mistakes. We all fall short of the glory of God. But when you fall, you get back up and keep at it. Don't fall and keep falling. Remember why you fell and what made you fall and don't repeat the same mistake again.





    Take care.
    Juan,





    I feel absolutely confident that ';God'; doesn't care. If he had not wanted humans to be the way they are, they wouldn't be.





    It is not bad to masturbate (actually its a pretty good preventative for prostate cancer, its the only thing they've found that reduces the chance and it reduces it by almost a third -- given its one of the most common cancers, that's good - it also helps you develop the capability of having good sex and it releases chemicals into your body that are good for you -- it is across the board good).





    Far from making you a bad person I think it makes you a good person.





    Now, in fairness, I think that those who use religion to beat down kids like you are actually cultists, and I have no use for them. Further, I do not believe that there is any reason for anyone to take fundamentalism of any form seriously. (I've put a link in below, ONLY read it if you are willing to think about what is there and if it won't bother you -- I don't want to cause you anxiety.)





    I know you are good and that there is nothing wrong with you or what you do. Be proud of your penis, enjoy it and do not worry. God is far more loving and accepting than we think.





    Have fun and masturbate and lust all you want. I started masturbating at 13 and have never regretted it for a second -- nor have a ever regretted the sex I've had. Thanks, I wouldn't trade a bit of it.





    Kind thoughts and lots of love, joy and peace,





    Reyn
    God made people with self control like when eve disede to eat the apple of the tree she did it with her own will and lust is aganst the bilbe so if God tell you dont do some thing he only understand that you disobade him but he also understand that we are born in sin and make mastkes so the only way he will forgive you for lusting





    but masturbateing is normal
    The REAL god or gods for sure understand. I mean they would have to wouldn't they. Supposedly they know everything about us.





    Don't listen to all the religious crap tho. They ain't got a clue about the real world. Heck they can't even keep from fightin with each other and then they think they know what's best for everyone's life. Any god is probably hoping the religions would just dry up and go away.





    Go right ahead and masturbate. It's healthy. Keeps you cleaned out and prevents wet dreams (messy). And all 15yo kids lust. It's hormones man. You are perfectly normal.





    Don't worry about what other people say or think. Do what feels good for you.
    I don't think masterbation is a sin. But you COULD control yourself if you really wanted to. I think masterbation is completely normal and natural though. I don't feel that God gets mad about masterbation. Pray about it and see how you feel.
    i am a 15 year old girl and i'll admit that i masturbate too. i think that God understands because he created us and knows that we sin. if you pray for forgiveness and try your best to be a good person i think he understands. but i dont think it makes you a bad person if you masturbate
    Self-pleasing yourself is not bad. It is an intimate moment you experience by yourself. Don't be ashamed, God is not going to get mad. Now if decide to have sex with a girl, God is going to get really mad if you're not married yet!
    it's natural and normal, it doesnt say in the bible anything about it being a sin to masterbate!, no you are not a bad person, your'e human!.
    There is nothing that says God doesn't like masturbation, just remember to control yourself around girls and try to cut down on the lust. It'll help you a lot. It also actually prevents prostrate cancer so go on right ahead.
    You can controll it. God doesnt ever give us more then we can handle. You can controll it, you just choose not to because its easyer.

    I have diabetes and would like to know some good advice to control it.?

    I just got diagnosed with diabetes. I am young and struggling with maintenance of this high maintenance disease. I know that it is a life style change but i am failing tremendously. Any good advice would be greatly appreciated!I have diabetes and would like to know some good advice to control it.?
    Ok, first of all take a deep breath and let it out slowly. Diabetes can be controlled and there are lots of things that can done to help you take better care of yourself.





    Some of them are:





    Exercising


    Understanding what foods to eat


    Natural supplements





    All of these can play an important role in managing your blood sugar and maintaining a long life.





    I have found a web site that has a lot of great information on it to help you understand about diabetes so you can make the best decisions for you.





    Good luck to you.I have diabetes and would like to know some good advice to control it.?
    Hi


    I just want to let you know that a lot of the advice given is for type 2 diabetes, and has virtually no relevance to type 1 management.


    So if you are type one;





    -ignore anything to do with type 2 diabetes, they are separate diseases,


    -Check your BGL lots. its easy to forget but being aware is the easiest way to control it,


    -learn the serves in all the foods you eat,


    -learn about the disease, even many doctors don't know what is really going on, only listen to your specialist.





    with these you can start learning and gradually changing, but always carry your insulin and glucometer with you, you have to make it a habit to always have them, at first don't worry too much about what you are eating, as long as you know the serves and take the insulin.


    it needs to be part of eating,


    at first I had no idea of the different serves, so all I ate was pasta until I learn the carbohydrate level of other foods.
    Three things to remember and religiously follow if you have diabetes:





    1. Diet


    2. Exercise


    3. Medication





    Consult your doctor for the details of the three. Actually, it is very simple to follow this regimen of diet, exercise and medication.


    By diet, you have to watch your food intake and follow the diet plan recommended by your dietitian or doctor. Exercise does not mean that you have to run many miles a day, but simply walking or yoga or philates would do. And medication is the most important especially if you are Type 1 because you need insulin everyday to control your blood sugar. For Type 11, you also need to monitor your sugar by taking oral pills.





    So, diet, exercise and medication are the keys to good diabetic control. Good luck to you and God bless.
    Diabetes is overwhelming so what can work is to write down all the things you want to accomplish. Use what your doctor has told you to do to help you make the list. Now take one goal off that list, like eating better, and break it down into little goals that you can work on. For example, maybe you decide that you eat too much fast food, like 5 times a week. Set a goal of eating at a fast food place only 1 a week and work towards that. Once you accomplish that, you can either work to stop eating there once a week or pick another goal like eat vegetables 3 times a week and work on that. This makes the goals easier to reach and gives you a sense of accomplishment. Over time you will have made many good lifestyle changes and it wasn't that hard to do!
    Drink a lot of water. If you are used to using sugar for different things, try splenda. It is the closest to tasting like sugar. excercise regularly , The more weight you lose, the better your chances of even not having to have to take medicine for that. My friend has type 2 but because of the changes that he had made, He looked so much healthier and he was able to wean off medication.
    Start by making diet changes. Avoid white foods (bread, rice, pasta, potatoes). These are high in refined carbohydrates which your body converts to sugar. Eat mainly green vegetables and fish. Walk 45 minutes a day.
    I would talk to your doctor about this


    but no soda or well diet soda would help hardly any sweets medication would help.!
