My uric acid is higher than limits and I use loprin as well. How should I control it?

an unusual name for aspirin! well higher uric acid levels if asymptomatic could be observed but do have a risk of potentiating gout, so ask your doctor for dietary modifications, otherwise if you have gout or if these are too high then allopurinol is the first drug, colchicine may be helpful but less likely in asymptomatic stages, indirect benifit could be acheived with cozaar and tricor, lastly prednisone, good luck

Do any of you use birth control? Does it have an effect on your relationship with your spouse?

I read an article about how birth control messes with a woman's perception of an attractive or compatible man. So it's possible that a woman who is on birth control to be attracted to a different type of man than usual, someone who is genetically similar or whatever. A friend of mine told me a story about his brother. When the wife started taking birth control, her relationship with the husband went sour. When she was off of it, everything went back to normal. Is this actually for real? Any of you have experience with birth control?Do any of you use birth control? Does it have an effect on your relationship with your spouse?
Not anymore. I used the patch awhile back and it made me dizzy, bitchy, and bloated. Yuck!





I'll never take hormones again. Plus it decreased my sex drive and sensitivity, kind of like what pregnancy does.





Screw that, it's condoms for us until we make a decision for permanent birth control.Do any of you use birth control? Does it have an effect on your relationship with your spouse?
Yes it can cause negative effects if it doesn't adjust properly to the womans body, my wife changed birth control and turned into a monstor, crying over nothing basically and clinging to me a lot more, she's off it now and the effects are wearing off thank goodness!
i do but have had no side effects that your talking about

Regarding birth control, is it still effective the week after you take the ';blank'; pills with the active ones?

I've read that you should use secondary contraception during the first seven days of starting the pill. Does this mean the week after you don't take it to have a period? The way it goes is a 3 week on and then have a one week period. Then you start the active pills again.Regarding birth control, is it still effective the week after you take the ';blank'; pills with the active ones?
No, you don't have to use back-up every time you start a new pack of pills. That's only when starting the pill initially. The first three weeks of pills are taken to prevent ovulation; without ovulation, pregnancy is impossible. The bleeding during the placebo week is actually withdrawal bleeding rather than a period per se.Regarding birth control, is it still effective the week after you take the ';blank'; pills with the active ones?
I believe it means when you start the pills initially. Not your first week after the sugar pills every month. Not 100% thou, call your pharmacist, they should be able to answer this.

Shooters are generally not going to know anything about this. This is an engineering challenge and may get a better answer asking this in an engineering venue.





Remote photography (usually using video, not still film or sensors) are sometimes coaxial to the control ';stick'; (as in an underwater ROV) and monitored with on-board camera(s) and lighting. Some use a rear amounted fisheye to give the operator an overall view of the vehicle and the some kind of articulated camera that works in parallel with an articulated arm with a tool on the end of it. The whole package usually has some kind of telemetry on-board that gives a constant x-y-z readout of the ROV based upon some kind of reference point, either artificial or one based upon actual long/lat readings with a vertical component.Gsm based robot is normally for to control it over very long distance. but how we observe robot %26amp; take views ?

What kinda of food to you feed ur chihuahua to help control it's weight?

Diet dog food-LOL


JK- if you put a little soda in the food i will make it better, not caffine though, and not flavored i mean like seltzer sodaWhat kinda of food to you feed ur chihuahua to help control it's weight?
I have three Chihuahua's and they all eat Natures Variety Prairie Dog Food; this is a high quality dog food so they do not have to eat much to get their daily nutrients. http://www.naturesvariety.com/ http://www.naturesvariety.com/prairie_do鈥?/a>


They love the food and the Kibble is small so easy for them to eat. They eat the Chicken flavor. I think the Chihuahua's really love the freeze dried raw Bio-Coating on the kibble. I also give my Chihuahua's, mixed in with their food to regulate their digestion, canned pumpkin. http://www.nummytumtum.com/products.htmlWhat kinda of food to you feed ur chihuahua to help control it's weight?
royal canin makes a special weight control specificaly for chihuahuas, but it can be a little pricey so any small breed weight control will work, but make sure you slowly change foods so he doesnt get diarreah and make sure your giving him the correct proportion sizes dont over feed their beggers but they dont need to eat more, just like us dont over feed

    I recently quit birth control is it normal for my period not to start as normal ?

    because i really highly doubt i am pregnant.I recently quit birth control is it normal for my period not to start as normal ?
    Yes, it is.


    Your cycle has been very different while you were on the pill: you did not have any periods. The 'periods' women get on the pill are just withdrawal bleedings, there is no ovulation. They're sort of fake periods.





    So now your body needs to get back to its own natural cycle, and that may very well take a while.I recently quit birth control is it normal for my period not to start as normal ?
    im in the same boat i stoped 3 1/2 weeks ago so we shall see if we get our periods but yes its normal

    Today is my forth day on birth control.. Is it safe to already start having sex without a condom?

    If you are on a birth control pill, then you need to wait 7 days...look at the pamphlet - 7 days...Today is my forth day on birth control.. Is it safe to already start having sex without a condom?
    ummm no! did your doctor tell you nothing... ?


    you have to wait a month braniacToday is my forth day on birth control.. Is it safe to already start having sex without a condom?
    NOOOOOOOOOO!!! U need 2 wait 1 mo.
    No it is not. What kind are you on? With Depo or the pill you have to wait at least a week. I do not know about other things, but read the instructions that you got from your doctor. If you are on the pill, the instructions in the packet will tell you how long you have to wait, normally a week (a full SEVEN days) from when you took the first pill or less if you started on the first day of your period.
    No! Don't do it! It depends on when you start the pack. You don't need to wait a full month, that's old wives' baloney.





    If you started the pack of pills on the FIRST day of your period (meaning the first day you bleed), you're protected from that day, since you're starting on the first day of your cycle. If you started the pack of pills on the Sunday after your period, you need to wait seven days.





    If you want to be on the safe side, always wait SEVEN days if you're starting the pill, if you've missed pills, or if you're just unsure.
    NO, it says that if you start on the sunday following your period then you must wait 7 DAYS but if you start on the FIRST day of your period then you are protected from day 1





    You may want to wait a month JUST to be sure if you want.
    stop being so fast. wait a month. best to be safe than sorry. and i would still use a condom even with the bc.
    NO, you need to wait a full month
    ***No, now you need to wait until you're sure that if you DO get pregnant you can afford to raise the baby.
    no wait a month. dont be so eager, DAMN!
    No you should wait until you start your next packet/or whatever. Otherwise you could increase your chances of getting pregnant.

    Is jitter a problem for SDH? How it occurs and what is the mechanism to control it?

    I presume that by SDH you mean Synchronous Data Hierarchy. Yes, jitter is a problem. The higher the data rate, the greater is the problem with jitter, which is the variation in the timing from one signal edge to the next.





    Reducing jitter basically entails all methods used to ensure signal integrity, including impedance matching of driving output, transmission line and receiver input impedance. Also, board layout is critical in that outgoing and return currents must remain as close to each other as practical at all times and the transmission lines must be kept away from all other signal sources and lines. These guidelines are true of both clock and data lines.





    There is much more to it than this. I have given 1 hour seminars on this subject and still not completely covered more than the very basic fundamentals. You really need a good college course to understand this. Unfortunately, many college professors do not understand this area well enough to adequately teach it. However, I hope this information has helped at little.

    Slow down your pace. You would know the tempo which is best for you; just slow it down.


    Also, you can control your orgasm with your breathing... if you hold your breath you'll come faster, if you make a deliberate attempt to slow down your breathing, everything else in your body adjusts accordingly (that's the core to tantric sex).How to have a delay of ejaculation and have a better control of it during intimacy till my GF reach hers?

  • I took the shot version of birth control. it has been 4 days since my missed period. is it supposed to do that?

    We had unprotected sex a week before i got the shot of birth control. I took a pregnancy test the day after I missed my period. It said it was negative but I still have not started my period. This is the first time I've ever gotten the shot. Is it supposed to make me skip my period or am I pregnant?I took the shot version of birth control. it has been 4 days since my missed period. is it supposed to do that?
    I was on the shot for over a year and you are not supposed to have a period at all while you are on it just possible light spotting. They tell you not to have unprotected sex for I believe 2-4 weeks after they give you the shot(just like the pill). So in your case you are either pregnant or the shot is working correctly. I was 6 weeks pregnant with both of my children when I was able to get a positive on a at home pregnancy test.I took the shot version of birth control. it has been 4 days since my missed period. is it supposed to do that?
    Wait until you are two weeks late, then take another test to make sure. Many forms of birth control, especially Depo Provera, implants, or IUD can stop your period because of the amounts of hormones they contain. If anything leads you to believe you are pregnant, (such as symptoms) ask your doctor for a blood test. Just remember, pregnancy, hormones, stress, and birth control (and more) can all cause pregnancy symptoms. Good luck!
    Sometimes you have to take the tests again a few times before it really starts working. This has happened to my sister, who is now pregnant. It said it was negative before, but a few weeks after it said positive.So just go to the doctor or wait a few more days to see again. :) And keep checking.
    you dont have periods with the shot so you should be fine take a test if you really worried about it but i doubt you pregnant i was on the shot for a year and didnt have a period the whole time
    you could be pregnant. i got pregnant while on birth control, the doctor said i didn't give the birth control enough time to take effect.
    it's very common to not have a period at all while on the shot. Relax. You're more than likely fine.
    not sure call doc
    Look the product up online and check for side effects. If it's not there....ASK YOU OB GYN!

    Do you think that the US will one day control soccer the same way it controls hockey?

    The US didn't invent hockey, but it has won most of the Stanley Cups, including every one since 1994. Hockey still ranks below High school football and golf in the US.





    So will the US control soccer one day, even if most Americans are unaware of the same?Do you think that the US will one day control soccer the same way it controls hockey?
    Definitely - in fact it has started to take place already... with Beckham coming over to play in the MLS and reports of others following him (Zidane, Ronaldo, etc.)... The MLS will become the premier soccer league in the world and everyone will start to come over to the US to play. After all, who can resist being paid as much as someone like Beckham is being paid?Do you think that the US will one day control soccer the same way it controls hockey?
    i would have to say no , third world countries have too much talent when it comes to soccer
    Sure, as soon as we own almost every World Cup team we will win most of them. We don't OWN hockey if you go by international competition. The U.S. is good in hockey true, but you are comparing the NHL(which is basically U.S. run) to International games. Heck what international team has won the MLS title? See we OWN in Soccer. Anyway if kids get interested in soccer and stay interested then the U.S. may get good. Remember NHL teams are still mostly Canadians and Europeans.
    I don't think it is a fair comparison because in the hockey example you are comparing US vs. Canada. In the soccer scenario, it's US vs. the rest of the world.





    My opinion is that the US will not dominate in soccer until it is a front runner in media coverage, fan base, revenue, etc. We are so behind in soccer compared to the rest of the world... and for the rest of the world soccer is like the NFL or baseball in the US.





    A good example of this is how the US Women's National team just won the Algarve Cup, one of the most prestigious tournaments in women's soccer and it barely made news here! I just feel like we have a long way to go to catch up - and if we do, it will be a reflection of Americans to fall in love with the sport and give it serious attention - the rest will follow.





    Find more discussion, information, articles, tips, drills, etc on soccer and more at http://www.active.com and http://active.typepad.com/teamsports
    Oh dude!. This is the worst question ever. The usa will never dominate soccer. The usa doesnt even come close to dominating hockey. The usa isn't even in the same league as canada for hockey. The americans have the lowest percentage of hockey players in the NHL man. 65% are canadian, 15% are american and 30% are european. woohoo mike madano is the highest scoring american born player. big whooooopeeeeee. yes you are correct in saying that ';american teams'; have won more stanley cups latley. However the highest percentage of players on those teams are...get this, are you ready...hold on to your hat, giddiup fella, close yer eyes. CANADIAN!!! thats right. big ol' canadians who rule the hockey world. And yes , a canadian is also the MVP 2 times , 2 times in the NBA. thats MR. NASH to you kid. if it wasnt canadians playing for american teams the USA would have nuthing. Europeans even have to come to the usa to play soccer to make attendance ratings higher.


    NEXT QUESTION PLEAAAAAAASE!


    ';HOCKEY...INVENTED BY A CANADIAN...PERFECTED BY CANADIANS.


    P.S. notice how very few americans play hockey for canadian teams.


    please vote my answer as the best...because it is the best.

    How do I get new items to open without holding control key- it has something to do with certificates I think?

    How bad can insomnia get if you don't take control of it?

    My friend, who is 16, he is a really hyper talkative guy and outgoing and I never knew til yesterday that he takes pills for insomnia. (LMAO. No wonder) And so I was wondering can insomnia go away or does it stay with you forever if you don't take control of it?How bad can insomnia get if you don't take control of it?
    It can screw up your sleep pattern. Make you stay awake all night, not able to fall asleep until you're really tired, which for some people makes the sleep pattern highly irregular.

    Why can I not see past my own failures, I allow my past to inhibit my life and to a sense control it?

    Why would I allow myself to be fooled? Or allow myself to be controlled by this destructive way of life?Why can I not see past my own failures, I allow my past to inhibit my life and to a sense control it?
    Well once you are in a pattern of self-destruction its easy to keep that pattern. I suppose so you don't have to deal with those bad feelings. It seems in my own life it has been one way to cope, by putting off the inevitable. Which is getting yourself to learn new ways of living life. I am having this problem myself. I just know I have to change my life, the present and future. There is NOTHING anyone can do about past mistakes. Which of course causes continual frustration, because it is human to want things to be perfect. (Do good deeds, help others?) We are only making our futures worse, if we don't cope now, and make changes now. You have to want the change. You have to stop abusing yourself, in order to help yourself. I just know now that I have reached a point in my life, where, enough is enough. Its not going to be easy, but, I NEED to do things differently in order to feel better about myself. I imagine you do to. Don't wait another day, help yourself.


    Take care!Why can I not see past my own failures, I allow my past to inhibit my life and to a sense control it?
    Failure is hard to forget. Keep trying. It's all you can do.
    THere must be something about your personality that you are not paying attention to that leads you to a certain lifestyle. I noticed that there is a big difference between having good intentions and actually doing them. Sometimes we have good intentions but our personality is not the type to follow through so you need to give yourself a realistic view of who you truly are and like that you will see what your shortcomings are. It can be hard to do it but be holistic and focus on yourself this will lead to a better understanding of who you are and a better lifesty e too. But don't be too critical see your possibilities, do your best and be happy.

    What are benifits of Texas trying to control/manage it's exotic species?

    Exotic species are good if you are a hunter but for biologists that care about conservation they can be bad. Why would Texas want to push for more control or regulations on exotic/non-native species??? ThanksWhat are benifits of Texas trying to control/manage it's exotic species?
    Exotic and invasive species push out native species and upset the ecosystem. There are plenty of native wildlife that can be legally hunted with the proper licenses and/or permits during the right season. No need to bring in destructive pests so that hunters can hunt them.

  • Diabetes problem which medician i take for control it?

    i have a diabetes problem from last three year and now i m on insulin. I can't not take insulin longer.Diabetes problem which medician i take for control it?
    Only your doctor can tell you this. AND --- your doctor needs to tell you WHAT KIND of diabetes you have.





    If you are a Type 1 Diabetic, you CANNOT get rid of insulin. You WILL be taking shots for the rest of your life. You will simply need to get used to it.





    if you are Type 2 Diabetic, you are on insulin because your diabetes is SEVERE and potentially life-threatening. unless YOU control the disease you may need insulin for the rest of your life.





    The best ';medicine'; to take is a better diet, more exercise, and lose weight.





    When YOU make the effort to control the diabetes, it will affect you less and less. The more healthy you eat and exercise and maintain a ';normal'; weight, the less insulin you will need.





    Eventually, if you are successful at controlling your diet, getting more exercise, and losing weight, it may be that the doctor can stop the insulin completely. It may also be that you will NOT NEED any medicines, controlling your disease ONLY with a proper lifestyle.





    The sooner you make the necessary change to you diet, exercise, and weight loss, the soon you can stop using insulin.





    The best medicine for controlling diabetes is living a better lifestyle.Diabetes problem which medician i take for control it?
    If your doctor has told you that you need insulin to control you diabetes then you need insulin there is nothing else available to replace the insulin. Insulin can be taken for as long as you live there is no reason for you to stop taking it after any number of years
    lmao iv been taking insulin for the past 15 years (im 16 now) youll get used to it soon dont worry just remember that its keeping you alive and well.
    No choice. Insulin...or it's the end of the road.

    Is gastric reflux going to be a bigger problem for me later and do you know any methods for easy control of it?

    I suffer serious gastric reflux and so many things aggravate it. Coffee, pies, pizza, oily foods and of course alcohol. What are the long term effects if any? Should I have an operation to fix it? Also do you know any natural methods to control the reflux that allows me to have a reasonable social life as well?Is gastric reflux going to be a bigger problem for me later and do you know any methods for easy control of it?
    First, how much time do you mean when you say later? People do this all the time, they ask and then leave out important info like this. Next is finding a good GI doctor and then following their advice. It won't help you at all to get a good doctor and then just not listen to them either. These doctors are experts in this and other digestive disease problems too. Please take them seriously so you can gain from the testing they do and then the diagnosing they make. They will go over everything with you and then help you do what's best for you and your body. The foods you mention you will most likely say good-bye to as they cause acid problems to begin with and surgery is not always the best answer for anyone. Anyone can have as satisfactory a social life as they want by just having a good time with good friends. A special person of the preferred sex always helps too to enjoy anytime with, even relaxing at home with the TV going, or listening and dancing to favorite tunes. Then try to save up for those special vacations if even found in the nearest large city. No matter what your health is like, when you have a good doctor and are following their advice anyone can enjoy the holidays they want to, when they want. Good luck and God BlessIs gastric reflux going to be a bigger problem for me later and do you know any methods for easy control of it?
    How to best relieve symptoms of acid reflux involves making lifestyle changes such as avoiding certain foods, losing weight, stopping smoking and exercising regularly. A wide variety of over-the-counter medications such as antacids, anti-gas or ant-flatulence drugs, oral suspension and H-2 receptor blockers are available to provide temporary relief.





    Avoid the overuse of over-the-counter medications as they may cause side effects such as constipation and diarrhea. For more frequent and severe episodes of acid reflux, your doctor may prescribe medications such as proton pump inhibitors. If lifestyle changes and prescription medications fail to offer improvement, surgery may be recommended.





    Natural Remedies





    Natural and holistic treatments have been used for centuries to treat and provide symptomatic relief for digestive problems. Homeopathic remedies are safe and effective to use for people of all ages without unwanted side effects. Carefully selected ingredients such as Calc phos, Carbo veg, Nat phos, Mag carb and Silicea helps to neutralize acid in the stomach as well as cleanse and eliminate toxins from the body and relieve symptoms of heartburn, indigestion, bloating and gas.

    Birth control is it generally good or bad for your body? Do I have other options?

    I have had a very irregular period since about last year I finally got my period after 3 months of not having it....and before that I didnt get it untill 6 MONTHS! I am not sexually active but i wanted to go on birth control to regulate my period. My mom thinks its a horrible idea and it can only damage my bodies ';System';. I understand what she means but I dont want to worry about my period soooo much and have all the horrible symptoms when it does happen. I started drinking soy milk and it has helped me get my period sooner. %26lt;---strange i know....but should i get on the pill or is it bad for me?Birth control is it generally good or bad for your body? Do I have other options?
    You don't give your age, which medically would be the deciding factor in any medical answer I would give. If you are young and have not yet established a regular menstrual cycle I would advice against using the pill. it might well stop your normal ovulation cycle from being established. This might well make it difficult for ovulation to establish properly in the future, when you might wish to get pregnant.





    It is also important to make sure that your extreme irregularity is not due to PCOS, in which case it might be very appropriate for you to be on the pill. I suggest you go and see your GP to establish just what is happening.Birth control is it generally good or bad for your body? Do I have other options?
    Use the back door U.T.B.N.B.
    your other options:


    condoms


    the ';ring';


    the calendar


    the patch


    abstinence


    masturbation


    toys


    become lesbian.....





    or the Pills!
    If we are messing round with the human body feeding it hormones that it wouldn't normally get then I believe it harms the body. I never wanted my wife to take it because it causes blood clots amongst other things. She never took it-but she had a choice. We had two healthy children eventually.
    I personally don't like being on birth control, but I'm also on it for a different reason - its treatment for endometriosis.





    At any rate, the pill has been safely used for generations of women with little or no side effects. It will do nothing to mess up your 'system' - however you may have to try a few different ones before you find one that works for you. They all have different hormones in varying levels. Some typical side effects can be heightened emotions, tender breasts, breakthrough bleeding, headache, and weight gain. But like I said, different ones will work better for YOU than others.





    I would hope that your mother would honor the doctors recommendations. Good luck!
    Towards the beginning of my period it was so irregular, but I found after time it got better, so perhaps you should consider waiting a while before deciding to take the pill. I know that many people at such a young age may get irregular period.





    If you get unbearable pain like I used to, there are other ways such as pain relief tablets - I use nurofen it's the best. I used to get HORRIBLE pains, i still do but now I don't feel paralysed lol, the pains were unbearable before, but I find that I can manage my pain better now. Just let some time pass by before you make a decision about the pill.





    My doctor told me to take the pill but I've heard of many side effects when using the pill which I would rather not risk.





    Don't worry about a thing at the moment until you are older. If they are still irregular then, then you should ask for help on this subject.
    Hi Sweetie,


    Yes, u do have other sources to use, like the I.U.D., ubstaining, relying on the condomn. However, I feel these all over-rated %26amp; harmfull in different ways, when the Pill is 99.9% effective in building r interior body %26amp; keeping r period in line, ';so to speak.'; The difference, r hormone level will increase (bigger chest), r'll be able to rely on


    a date-date period, if happen's u do become pregant, u'll have the right to do what's good 4 u. ';VERY RARE'; My younger sister %26amp; niece had to do the same thing to regulate their period's %26amp; from my prospective, I think u r making a wise choose, should this be r decision The Pill, a very realist, safe, %26amp; wise One!!!


    I Wish U All the Best,


    P.S. I drink Soy Milk everyday, Plse eat more for r greens eg. spinish, green peas, beans, anything green, %26amp; Liver is good for r


    blood stream. (hate it put lots o' ketchup) the more U eat Right, the less u have to worry. U r what u eat! Check Library, full of knowledge on Eating Well instead o' vitamen's, but r body needs essential foods 4 a candidate like u, needed Iron, cause of blood loss! I have Endometriosis which is the worst, %26amp; pray u'll never end up with it!!!


    LOL, Diana D
    i heard many things about the irregularity of period but, the only option that has been given to rearrange the period until now is this contraceptive pills. remember, it damages your health as your mom told u specially for girls who dosen't give birth still now because it affects the reproductive system.
    I was put on the pill for the very same reason that you were, and have been on for about 7 years with no adverse side effects.





    With that being said, now that they are coming out with pills that enable you to have quarterly periods, or none at all, some doctors are taking the standpoint that monthly periods are no longer necessary at such a young age, because obviously, the function of a period is to enable someone to get pregnant. Now that we are waiting much later in life to have children, it is no longer necessary.





    I think you should consider your age in your decision. When you are young, your period is often irregular and will regulate itself in time. I chose to go on the pill when I was 13, and made the decision to stay on the pill when I was older even though my period could have regulated itself because I knew I would be sexually active, and welcome that extra protection.





    It is really a personal decision. I would talk to your mother and your doctor and make a decision that is best for you, rather than based on information given to you online.
    I think it's a good idea. I had the same problem. (not quite as bad as yours but my period was slightly irregular) and when I did get it, it was very painful and I would often be forced to stay home from school/work. When I told my doctor about this, she actually suggested the pill. Now I am on the pill and it has made my periods regular, shorter, and much less painful. I haven't experienced any ';damage'; to my ';system';.





    I hope that helped. And I recommend seeing your gynecologist before you get on the pill, just as a precaution.
    It sounds to me like you may have a touch of PCOS. I do, and had that same problem all throughout my teen years (I would go five to eight months without a period -- regularly). They put me on the Pill at 18 to regulate my periods without checking me for PCOS. One year later, I almost had a stroke because of my blood pressure. I was only 19.








    Hypertension is a symptom of PCOS and a side-effect of the Pill. Make sure your doctor rules everything out before deciding to put you on the pill. It can have some dangerous effects if you really do have PCOS.
    Seeing as you are about 13 or so (I'm guessing I got my first period at 12) you will be irregular for a time. Until your body balances out. I'd almost say wait.





    I started BC when I was 17. I used to have unnaturally long periods and cramps that made me not want to move from bed.





    I started on Ortho Trycyclen. Cramps went away, periods were predictable to almost the hour and they ended up being only 3 days! Other benefits were my breakouts I'd get before my period lessened, other cramps went away and I didn't get the water bloat.





    Though be careful. Some don't react as well with it. Go to your doctor to get a sample. Try it for a couple months. I say be careful because I have a friend who gets very unstable if she uses certain types of BC.... Though that reaction is rare, it is possible. The pill will force your body to regulate, though if you do become active do use condoms and NEVER forget your pill!
    Birth Control is generally bad for you. It's causes alot of prblems, depends on what you are taking too. The Depo shot is probably the worst, but they are all pretty unhealthy. Blood clots, strokes, heart attacks, cancer (breast, cervical, etc.) infertility, weight gain, etc. I was on the shot for 7 years (really screwed me up) and all of my friends have been on some form of birth control since puberty and they feel ok while they are still on it but they are generally pretty messed up after. It might regulate your periods, it might not, but it will also stop your body form having any chance of correcting itself naturally over time. Just do some research. I personally use NFP now. I don't have to put any hormones into my body and I know I will still be able to have children some day.





    Seriously, just do some research before you decide to put some drug into your body everyday for years and years.
    I had excactly the same problem as you my love!!! wen i wasnt sexual active i didnt worry bout it but when i got with my boyfriend i went on the pill - end result.?? depression and multiple blood clot on the lung... Obviously this is not the case for every one!





    I've heard that the coil is quite good.





    I think your mum is right, it the hormones in the pill that mess around with your ';systems';. so try and find a non hormonal one.


    go to your GP or local family planning clinic and just chat to them about what you want etc.


    Hope this helps!


    Good Luck
    In long periods of taking birthcontrol





    it will stop your period
    my sister was prescribed the combined pill to regulate her period, but it is best for you to go to your G.P and explain your situation. Your G.P will be able to run tests and prescribe what is best for you. Good luck :-)
    it has just been proven that the pill can protect a woman against ovarian cancer for at least 20 years after she stops taking it.





    when the pill first came out years ago, the hormone levels were really strong and unsafe but after years of trial and testing they have made it perfect now and it is at a safe level.





    dont listen to your mum. go and get the pill. it is not going to do anything bad to you and in your case it will be great cause it probably will help make your period regular.





    it is safe as now days compared to when your mum was your age. i wouldnt worry. ive been taking the pill for 10 years and im fine.
    Go see a holistic doctor in your area, you might find a natural way to help you, but birthcontrol will help, make an appointment with you doctor to discuss your options, he'll most likly say birth control, but there are good points to it studies have been finding that birth control helps prevent some forms of cancer, it reduces cramps, and helps with acne, you might gain a few pounds, but if they put you on the right type, you should only gain like 3 to 5 pounds, wich you can exercise off easily.


    Good luck

  • Birth Control, is it ok to take at different times but within a few hours every time?

    I am taking it to help with the cysts in my breast and don't want to stop use because of the acne. Any topicals you can suggests?I am taking YAZ birth control and it is causing a lot of breakouts, any helpful tips for me?
    There's nothing you can really do. The hormones are changing your body. If you've only been on the birth control for 1-3 months then this is normal. Breakouts occur and usually after the three months side effects will subside because your body is used to the hormones. If you've been taking the medication for awhile and are still experiencing breakouts I would ask the doctor at your next check up about what other birth control options are available. There are others that will help with your cysts also. Some birth controls just aren't right for certain people.

    I am a Sugar patient, should i take insulin or will it be good to control it with tablets?

    hi, Im a sugar patient, 47years lady. After breakfast i use to get very tired, and my whole body feels like shivering from inside, what can be the reason? Sometimes my sugar raises high sometimes it will be normal. Now its above 300, should it be better for taking insulin, im avoiding insulin, i use to take tablets,I am a Sugar patient, should i take insulin or will it be good to control it with tablets?
    shivering can be also due to high bp please consult a good physician and a diebitician taking advise from here can put you in trouble neem hakim khatere jaanI am a Sugar patient, should i take insulin or will it be good to control it with tablets?
    There are different stages for the sugar , better consult your doctor about it . And better consult with experienced and especially sugar specialist .





    Apart from that start morning walk at least half an hour daily and Yoga . Try to wake up early in the morning and go for morning walk , this habit really helps you to control sugar . As you have mentioned you sugar level 300 which is very high , so this can be the major reason for shivering .





    And don't take it lightly and consult with the doctor immediately .
    You need to ask your doctor. Soon. Do not ask or accept medical advise from people on this type of forum.





    Tired and shivering inside can be either high or low sugar symptoms, and can result from poorly controlled diabetes..





    If what he advises is tablets, take them. If he advises insulin, take it.
    Sorry but this is not a question to be asked to people in general. It is highly specific. Only your Family doctor can guide you best. You are not suppose to avoid anything because you think so or others tell you so etc. Medicines are not taken for pleasure and diseases are not invited! Thinking some thing, assuming some thing , taking for grated some thing wont help. No No .... Take your Family Doctor's advice.
    dear friend! any question related to the usage of medicine can only be said from the examination by doctor so u better consult and get the appropriate medication. if you have any further doubts and need some diabetes tips and control measures you can see this and this will help u a lot-
    That is something you need to discuss with your doctor. It does not sound like you have control over your diabetes, which can lead to some serious side effects.





    We can't tell you here whether to take insulin or continue with oral medications. See your doctor ASAP. Follow his treatment plan.

    If a girl forgets to take her birth control is it she more likely to get pregnant?

    I heard that if a girl forgets to take her birth control for a day then she actually gets pregnant easier than if she wasn't taking it at all. Is this true?If a girl forgets to take her birth control is it she more likely to get pregnant?
    here is the thing about BC pills. they were originally made to get you pregnant. they suppress your ovulation. so if you miss or stop taking them then you ovulates.





    but i think it takes more than one day. unless you are real off and on about them. if you regularly miss them then yes you are more fertile than an average woman not taking any at all.If a girl forgets to take her birth control is it she more likely to get pregnant?
    I don't know about ';easier'; but just as easy,yes. I got pregnant on the pill because I took it not at the same time each day,only a few days a week (not every week) would I take it not at the same time,or at least within the hour.
    http://sex.healthguru.com/content/video/鈥?/a>





    This is a short video about birth control and how effective it is. Hope this helps!
    Not really true, but it can happen.





    She can take 2 pills the next day if she misses one from the day before to ';catch up';





    It normally takes more than 24 hours for all of the hormone to leave the body.
    Easier? No But if she misses her pill one day her chances go back to where they were before she got on the pill... But no just because you miss a period it does not accelerate your chances lol
    I wouldn't say easier but it can happen ... trust me!
    Umm..yeah! About the same I guess...

    If you had severe acne, what did you do to control it?

    I need your best advice, because my face just gets worse and worse everyday. I've used every single kind of face wash, and it's not enough. Help?If you had severe acne, what did you do to control it?
    i went on the yasmin pill.


    it cleared up within a few weeks.


    worked for me, maybe u should look into it.


    face wash tend not to work with acne,


    ususally anitbotics you need.


    but even those didnt work for meIf you had severe acne, what did you do to control it?
    I have adult, hormonal acne, and it is severe and affects my face, neck, arms, back and chest. Dianette helps but it's too severe for just Dianette alone so my derm has added 100mg Spironolactone (an anti androgen). So far so good, although the texture of my skin is not great after years of severe acne, so I'm going to start Retin-A gel soon.





    Hope this helps.
    I had moderate acne for years, tried it all too then finally saw a dermatologist at my walk in and she gave me Retisol-A. It has made my face completely clear up after 10 weeks. You do break out more during weeks 4-8 but by week 12 it's all gone. It's a high dose of Vitamin A (but not as much as Accutane), and promotes fast cell turnover so it brings all the gunk to your face and then it's all gone, I love it!! Dries out your face in the beginning though. I would really look into that product.





    A couple other things I can recommend is of course Accutane as it is made for severe acne that nothing can get rid of. Very harsh medication though..but it's worked on many people I know.





    Another thing is Diane-35 birth control pill. It says on the box not to use it for contraception alone, but it is an acne medication and I am on that as well. It stops the production of androgens which is responsible for breaking out.





    Any of these methods should give you a huge improvement- but remember it doesn't happen overnight. You usually have to be patient and wait 3 months to know if it's for you or not!
    i used to have a huge acne problem when i was in college. it got really bad during times of stress, like around exam times. i found that the major reason for my breakouts was stress and poor nutrition.





    the best thing you can do to prevent acne, is to drink lots and lots of water. tap water is the best. it detoxifies your system. fruits also help a lot; especially citrus fruits.





    don't go for soaps or cleansing agents that claim to get rid of your acne. they just dry up your skin. excess oils may cause acne but your skin still needs the oils. don't over wash either for the same reason.





    i tried a lot of products from the internet because i was desperate for an acne-free face, since i was in college. the girls just didn't dig it. nothing worked as well and as fast as Acnezine.


    here's the link to their site


    http://www.acnezine.com/?aid=155535





    i saw the effects in a week. i was so relieved that i found this product. it just turned my social life around. it not only cured the acne i had but also removed blemishes. i still use it during stressful times to prevent future breakouts. i highly recommend it
    same thing happened to me, ive tried different combinations of face washes, oral medication, and 3 differet perscription creams and lotions and mostrizers. NOTHING WORKED! so then my dermatologist talked to me about Accutane. its an amazing drug to clear up acne. becuase it contains much more vitiman A then you need and it actually permantly shrinks your sebum(oil) glands and its VERY effective to clear up acne for the rest of your life and you only take it for 5 months. talk to your dermatologist about accutane, and pretty soon you will be acne free. but caution especially if your a girl they are extreemly strict its kinda scary you MUST take 2 forms of birth control while on accutane becuase it causes HORRIBLE birth defects. but it srsly works!
    I've been in that situation and there is really nothing you can do about it. There are things you can do to try to reduce the blemishes and get rid of acne/pimples temporarily but you will always be finding yourself cleaning your face or your body depending on where it's at.





    I mean of course your acne should go away eventually but for some this is the case their whole life.





    I'm 29 years old and have been suffering from these little pests since I was a teenager. I tried all sorts of face washes from the local grocery store and what not, but nothing seemed to work. If anything it would just make my skin dry and itchy.





    Literally the best acne face wash I've ever used has been this stuff called clearpores. It has got rid of the acne to quickest and has been a success ever since I got it. It's unique cause of it's herbal supplement you take a long with it that helps your skin from the inside out. I saved money on it at skincleansingsystem.com at the time which was helpful.





    You should really look into this stuff and if you can to assure the best results, get the 3 month supply because if it doesn't work it will still save you butt on the return policy.





    Well good luck and best wishes.
    Apply a paste made of nutmeg powder and raw milk on acne or pimples and wash it off after 20 minutes. Do it for about 10-15 days to see the difference. More such solutions at http://solutionsforpimples.blogspot.com/

    When getting off birth control is it easier or harder to get pregnant?

    Actually it depends on how long you've been on them. If you are only going to take them for three months, you wont have any trouble at all. For people who take the pill for years it can take up to six weeks for their hormones to start working right without the pills and they start producing an egg again.When getting off birth control is it easier or harder to get pregnant?
    ive been wondering the same thing, im hesitant to go on birth control, because with my luck, ill have trouble getting pregnant, i dont need the added factor of it possibly being harder tog et pregnant after birth control.





    best person to ask would be your doctor





    answers here may vary, ull get people who said ';it took me 8 months after going off birth control to get pregnant'; while others may say ';i went off birth control and a month later i was pregnant'; because remember, every woman is different.





    good luck!When getting off birth control is it easier or harder to get pregnant?
    even though all these people are saying its harder.... i'm possibly pregnant and if i am i would've gotten pregnant a month after getting off the pill. I've met women who get pregnant right off getting off and some it takes longer. Each person's body is different so all of our answers are just from experiences none of us can really tell you.
    My doctor suggested staying off the pill for 3 months before trying. After those 3 months, it took us two weeks to get pregnant. So I have to say that the pills did not make it harder in our case.
    I'd been on the pill for 13 years and my doctor told me to expect it to take anything up to 2 years. It took 6 months


    If you work your timing right it shouldnt take any longer I dont think
    Its harder. I believe they generally say expect up to 6 months..
    Harder. It took me three years to get pregnant after stopping birth control.
    harder to get pregnant
    Sure hope its not that hard =/

  • I've been on seasonique for about a year, does birth control make it hard to have children once stopped?

    I take seasonique, and have been for about a year. When you stop taking the birth control, does it make it hard to conceive. What about Seasonique, does that brand make it really hard since it's only 4 periods a year?I've been on seasonique for about a year, does birth control make it hard to have children once stopped?
    I was on Seasonale for a couple years, and was able to get pregnant within 2 months of being off of it. Every womans cycle is different, and I know that taking birth control can make it more difficult (usually anywhere up to a year tp cpncieve) but I dont think that taking the continuous cycles will make it that much harder than those who take placebos for a week each month. Good Luck!I've been on seasonique for about a year, does birth control make it hard to have children once stopped?
    I and my sister-in-law have been on pills but it wasn't hard for us to get pregnant after we stopped taking contraceptive pills.Maybe it depends every woman's cycle.Just keep on trying and don't forget to pray.Good luck.

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

    30 days. Use condoms in the mean time.How long after you start taking birth control is it effective?
    my doctor reckoned it was about 7 days but i suppose it would depend on the medication. however i would strongly recomend asking your doctor or pharmacy about it.How long after you start taking birth control is it effective?
    30 days
    whomever gives you the birth control sell it takes 30 days to get in your bloodstream.

    How long must you be on Birth Control before it starts working?

    The pst two pills brands that i have been on say that they take 7 full days before they start working effectively. It always depends on the pills that you are taking. Some brands take around 2 weeks and others say to wait for the first month. If you look at the packet that comes with the pills that you have it should say how long to wait.





    If you cant find the packet or you threw it away then call your doctor and ask. Or just look up the pill brand online, there are quite a few sites that list out all the directions for that specific brand.How long must you be on Birth Control before it starts working?
    You have to take it @ the same time everyday for 7 days for it to work and you have to take it from then on @ the same time everyday, you miss a day it wont work if you double up the next time, you have to start over again @ the same time every day for 7 days then you will be good.How long must you be on Birth Control before it starts working?
    It usually takes about a month, but it all depends on the pill and your body. Sometimes it can take up to 3 months before the pill is effective.





    Continue to use a condom, even after the pill is effective. I am 32 weeks pregnant while on the pill and using foam.
    Yea the doctors will tell you to have protected sex for the first 30 days of starting a new form of birth control.
    I have heard a month as well. You should definitely use alternative protection in the meantime.
    About three full days. Talk to your doctor. It also depends on which one your taking. I know three for the pill.

    If you skip a day of birth control will it make your period start a day later.?

    should get period on wednesday.


    hoping for a way to make it start a day later.If you skip a day of birth control will it make your period start a day later.?
    No, if you skip a day, more than likely you will start bleeding in a couple of days because of the loss of the hormone in the bc pills. You could take one pill from the new pack in addition to the pack you are taking, which might give you an extra day before you start. Then next month, just take one less and you will be okay.If you skip a day of birth control will it make your period start a day later.?
    No, skipping a day is not a good thing to do either. You should take them on time and you just have to deal with when it comes sorry.
    If you miss one day, take two pills the next day.





    If you keep skipping pills, your period will come sooner, not later.

    During sex my semens coming out quickly.How to control it can i take any food to control it?

    There are no foods to take, however have you tried pleasuring yourself before you have sex? that way you wont go so quickly when you are doing it since you already came? Some guys are just like that, ive been married for 7 years and im lucky if our sex last more than 5 minutes.During sex my semens coming out quickly.How to control it can i take any food to control it?
    Try Kegel exercises...and stop and start technique...if u don't know them, type it in google or youtube...u'll learn how to do that!


    Next time u have sex.. don't flex ur penis or ur butt...cos the more u flex ur penis..the more blood goes into ur penis, making it more sensitive...then making u c*m faster! so just move ur hips only!!


    U can even change the position...(most guys c*m faster when they're on top) so let her be on top..and ride it the way she wants!...then while u're layin there....don't flex ur penis, ur butt, u don't even have to move ur hips up and down!...


    And of course u might want to think of other stuff, while u're at it, to stop urself from being soooo excited!


    when u feel like u gonna c*m stop and squeeze (kegel exercise)....(u can use this time to change to another position instead of just stoping) then when u feel like it's gone...start again (start and stop technique)


    But most importantly...it all depends on how u prepare ur mind...if u aim to pleasure urself...then u'll c*m faster...so instead....aim ot please ur girl for AS LONG AS u possible can...this way u won't be thinkin about how u're feelin but how she's feelin...and u'll last sooo long!!!


    Hope that helps!


    Good luck!
    Settle down. You're fine. When you feel an orgasm starting, stop what you are doing until the feeling subsides then continue. It will make the sex better and last longer.





    Women don't like two pump chumps.
    When you are peeing, start practicing cutting off the flow. Start, try to stop, start again etc. It will help strengthen your urethrae muscles!
    think of other things!

    How do I control my low self control when it comes to junk food?

    Before I got married I was about 180 lbs. I am up to 215 after 3 years. The problem is that I don't have any self control when it comes to junk food. Before I got married, I used to simply not buy any junk food, therefore it wasn't in the house, and I didn't have easy access to it. It was the only way to control my junk food habit because if the junk food was there.... I would eat it. I could eat a half a package of Oreos, or a box of Ho Ho's in a sitting.





    Now, my wife keeps buying junk food, even though I ask her not to. The obvious solution would be to go shopping with her, and remind her that I shouldn't eat certain things. However, I am not always able to do this due to severe back problems (had surgery recently but it didn't help).





    So since I have no self-control, and my only method for controlling my junk food habit (not keeping any in the house) not possible, how can I control my eating of junk food? Hiding it doesn't help, I can usually easily find it if my wife hides it.How do I control my low self control when it comes to junk food?
    I know what you mean...and try to do something before you do have children, after there is no escape: delicious sweats everywhere that you will justify to eat since they usually leave peaces all the time.


    Is not easy but essential to achieve some self control, unless you want to end up sick. On the other hand if your wife does not have your problem, is not fair to ';forbid'; her to buy and eat what she wants just because you can not resist the temptation.


    Well, start trying not to search for the hidden things and think how childish you would look if any of your colleagues would see you in that situation.


    Try to brain wash your junk food addiction reading pseudo medical articles over the subject and then think about how much better you felt with yourself before earning 35 pounds.


    Of course, you can loose that weight if you engage in a serious training and diet. That will also help you to set your energy in a more productive place than chasing sweats or chips.


    If with all this, you still keep on finding by accident the hidden cookies think in drastic solutions: your wife is trying to make you fat to be sure, you will not be able to pass through the front door or might be she is planning to prepare a huge barbeque next summer with your meat.


    If she is a wonderful person, buy a safe that explodes while forcedly opened, and ask her to put her items in that place.


    I hope this could be enough to help you.


    FroHow do I control my low self control when it comes to junk food?
    Put a little hot mustard on a plate, about fifteen pretzels, and you won't eat more than you should. You just have to ignore the junk food till she's the only eating it...and then start reminding her it's not good for her either. Exercise together!

    theres only 1 thing that will help, you need motivation


    you need a reason to do it
    You know it's a problem, deal with it, ask your wife again not to buy it and if she does, bin it! Why does she buy junk food in the first place?
    My only suggestion is if you guys have to have any kind of junk food in the house have an alternative. Instead of cookies and Ho Ho's eat granola or some other much healthier snack. Believe me there are things out there for you to eat instead that doesn't taste like wood, but the hardest part will be for you to make that change due to you previously craving and eating all the wrong things. Also it would be nice if your wife would help you out with this. If she knows you have absolutely no self control then she should never tempt you with having those things in the house period. Have a real talk with her about how you're feeling. I'm pretty sure she doesn't want you to be unhealthy but somewhere in there she's not taking your poor eating habits very seriously.


    Goodluck.
    I got into a junk food fetish myself. I went from 190 to 235 in less than a year, it was a very depressing time. Finally I just decided to stop eating junk food and went on a very strict 1000 cal a day diet and burned 500 cal a day on the treadmill 4 days a week for 2 months. I still got cravings but when I did I would just ask myself ';Am I really hungry, or do i want to eat a tub of ice cream because it would taste good';, and that helped me a lot.
    Don't have it in the house.
    I understand...being a junk food junkie myself. I would eat it just like yu and then I started having health problems....high blood pressure and along with that water retention. My blood pressure became difficult to control. So whenI started having all of those problems, I decided that it was more important for me to exercise some discipline and not eat it , even if it was in my face. When I get this urge to junk out, I ask myself...what is really going on? Sometimes we eat to fill an emotional need. When you binge...check out your emotional state. If you can deal with the emotional state, you will be able to control the bingeing. Exercise also helps.
    Mabe she likes your chubbs? That is the best solution to not have it in the house but I suggest chewing gum. Chew gum when you have a craving for junk and drink a bottle of water. Everybody needs water and most people don't get enough of it so good luck!
    well i fill my day up with so many activities that i dont have time to think about food


    sometimes i even forget to eat
    quit telling yourself you have no ';self-control';





    do you hit everyone that makes you angry, do you rape every woman you find sexy?





    you have self-control, USE it for FOOD. Find a SUBSTITUTE for the junk, something UNRELATED to food, like EXERCISE.
    instead of buying just junk food.





    buy some healthy snacks as well man.





    then when you feel like eating a snack. instead of poppin' some candy. grab yourself a baby carrot or something.





    i'd also make a list of things to buy before your wife goes to the store. do not deviate from this list AT ALL! :) it will help with budgetting and also keep her from buying too much junk food.





    you have to also respect her wishes if she wants to have a little.





    also. try to get out and walk a little bit.t here's got to be a little bit of exercise you can do. walking might do wonders. maybe not marathon distances..but somethin.





    you have to develop will power. noone is born with it.





    Smartyphred out!!!
    I suggest you tackle the real problem....low self esteem. There are GOOD counselors available to help people with this issue. I don't think you should focus as much on calorie in take until you get to the root of the problem. That's like trying to put bandage after bandage on a cut to keep the blood from seeping out. Heal the cut and the bleeding will stop. Good luck,friend.
    I think you need to have a talk with your wife. If she refuses to respect you and your choice to not eat unhealthy foods, she needs to rethink a bit, because should be supporting you all the way. If she keeps bringing it home, ask her to keep it out of your sight, and ask if she could buy fruits. If you ever have a craving, reach for an apple or for a peach. I often have difficulty eating when I have nothing else to do, or when I want to be chewing something, so it helps to have peaches in the house or gum.
    I don't have any control over junk food either. But the best thing to do is just don't buy it and start exercising. After a few weeks you'll start getting use to it so you won't want junk food as much.
    By the sound of your emails beginning, get a divorce.
    Seriously; tell your wife to stop buying the junk and say that if she doesn't, you will throw away the junk food she buys next time!


    Tell her that you really want to improve your health, but that you need her help. Maybe you can suggest a list of foods that she CAN buy? Or ask for her help in finding more healthy snacks?


    Either you don't communicate clearly or she has a problem to take you seriously. Take charge. You decide. If she wants to eat junk food, tell her she can do it outside the house or keep snacks at her workplace.


    I've had health problems that makes me more sensitive to certain types of food and people just don't understand!! You have to just be harder and ignore that they'll be grumpy or despise you for it. Maybe decide a certain day of the week when you can eat sweets and junk? Maybe you can even make it a fun date to go out and eat sweets or junk food once in a while??
    Exercise your low self-control eating nutritous food.

  • Why have parents lost so much control that it is now acceptable for kids as young a 13 to have sex?

    It disgusts me so much on here hearing about teens who have had sex, or even to it regularly. Has marriage lost all its sacredness?Why have parents lost so much control that it is now acceptable for kids as young a 13 to have sex?
    Since the 60's parents have become obsessed with the idea that their kids must ';like them and want them to be their friend';. Not so. Your kids want parents and rules that they must follow. Praise when they've EARNED it, and to know that they re loved, no matter what. You can love someone but not like their actions


    Permissiveness by parents and being taught in school that ';I am special and theres no one else in the world like me';. Has ruined a couple of generations.


    If I'd even thought of having sex at 13 my Mother would have hung me out to dry. I was still a kid and acted like one. We expect way too much from our children and want them to grow up way too early. They aren't ready. Hope you can get


    control again. It's sure overdue. Check all the publicity that the youngest Spears kid has gotten. She, and her mother are both irresponsible. The prospective father should have had more sense than to fool around with ';jail bait';. I understand the cops are looking for him. Wish them luck.








    Good luck.Why have parents lost so much control that it is now acceptable for kids as young a 13 to have sex?
    I agree.


    But I wont be like that because I'm saving my first kiss AND sex for marriage.


    Because having sex within marriage is the sex (lol)(that means its awesome)


    premarital sex is just... terrible.


    and so is gay sex.
    I dont know where you live, but parents are not happy when their 13 year olds had sex and are having a baby.
    I think that for a majority of society the problem lies in the parents and their parenting skills. I don't believe that parents are consistant in their parenting and putting down appropriate bounderies and then following through. I also don't believe that allot of parents are giving their kids what they need emotionally and therefor they are looking for it elsewhere. It also doesn't help that it is becoming acceptable.





    I don't think a parent who's marriage is falling apart and had the child out of wedlock themselves is able or feels capable of changing that DNA. And more than likely the child will repeat the actions of the parents.


    I don't believe that marriage is sacred anymore in our society. I think that people should change their vows from ';for better, for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, for as long as we both shall live'; to until we don't feel like we love eachother any more. If people stuck to those origional vows there would not be the divorce rate that there is today! That is a promise and a promise is something that should be fulfilled regardless.





    Now if someone's marraige has turned physically abusive and they are in danger I do believe that they should get out, but I also believe that the rest of the marraiges need to stop being self consumed and start serving eachother first and formost and I think that people would be surprised what will happen.





    I'm going to stop since I have already probably offended people... my appologies.
    It is disgusting. More parents need to spank their kids and then these problems would go away.
    Parents are not happy but it's beyond their control, ur child goes out to hang out with his/her bf/gf, and tht's totally acceptable, but they can't do anything about them having sex if they only think the children are mallin or hangin out......and personally I don't think marriage is sacred, like wut's with the dun have sex until ur married thing??? It's 2007, almost 2008, maybe you ppl should learn more about modern society.
    i totally agree with you and DISAGREE!!!! with erica it is disgusting, a thousand years ago they would stone you to DEATH if you did that.





    ~Yes i am a Christian and my views are not Christian they are what is purely right and safe would you like to be 13 and preggo?~
    i agree with u brother , its just kids rite now r so mature
    I'm 13 and a proud virgin. This one girl in my class whom I've known since second grade is 3 months pregnent. It's unbelievable! I know better than to get involved with the wrong group of people but I know people who are naive enough to do so. Some kids are stupid and do harmful things to be ';cool'; but the funny part of it all is they will all turn 30 years old and will most likely not be the immature teen the once were but they still have that reputation following them.
    Id tap thatt.
    They gave up the control because so many are too lazy to keep watch over their kids.
    It is a combination of the media's downplay of the importance of sex and the dual working parent/single working parents household that America has become accustomed to. They do not have enough time or energy to make sure their kids are not getting into trouble or watching inappropriate TV shows.
    Thirteen year olds should certainly not be having sex. I was 15, yes, but I regret it everyday. Though I do not necessarily believe that you must wait until marriage for sex, I just think that you need to wait until you are both old enough to handle any consequences that may come from sex, whether it's pregnancy, STDs, or the emotional effects on the people.
    My sister is pregnant


    She's thirteen, it doesn't matter if it's acceptable
    Why do you care what other people do? Mind your own buisiness. No, marriage has not lost its sacredness or w/e.

    How long after using birth control is it safe to have unprotected sex?

    My girlfriend started taking it and she doesn't know how long till it starts taking effect...How long after using birth control is it safe to have unprotected sex?
    im on birthcontrol and my GYN [female doctor] said to be careful ONE MONTH.. but unprotected is never safe, birthcontrol is not 100% effective so watch the way you use the word safe :) but me and my man started havinq unprotected from day one im not preg, but i would NOT reccommend it and wait a month like the doctors say :)How long after using birth control is it safe to have unprotected sex?
    You should use another form of birth control for the first month that she is on birth control. After that, as long as she takes the pill consistently and correctly, it should be 99% effective. Even if taken properly, birth control pills do have a slight failure rate.
    Generally it takes 3 months for her body to become used to the birth control. My doctor told me to wait 3 months before having unprotected sex after first taking the pill.
    It should say on the leaflet she got inside the pill packet, but usually it is about 1 week
    One month, a full cycle. Until then wear a rubber %26amp; use spermicide.
    full effect is 2 - 3 months
    At least one full cycle, so about a month. It's not fool proof. Keep that guy wrapped up!

    Should government take away birth control because it may cause an abortion?

    Some state legislature have seen this potential law recently.





    My grandma has 15 not counting miscarriages because her religion was to have as many as God would give and not use any method of birth control.Should government take away birth control because it may cause an abortion?
    No we might end up with a population of chinaShould government take away birth control because it may cause an abortion?
    no that would be crazy
    Perhaps if driving were illegal deaths caused by drunk drivers would be stopped. Maybe we ought to make roads illegal, breathing, too because it causes lung disease when you think about it, if you don't breathe, you don't smoke....
    What people should do is to start living moral lives.
    what the? Are you not aware that AIDS is out there? They will never take away condoms.
    I personally support all means of birth control except for abortion.
    convert
    Government should keep their dirty noses out these issues.
    last i checked abortion was legal.
    Her choice of religion

    How long after stopping birth control did it take your periods to regulate?

    i stopped the pill march 17th af came march 21-28...tomorrow af is supposed to come again but i have no sign of it coming! no cramping no chocolate eating frenzy lol nothing!How long after stopping birth control did it take your periods to regulate?
    I am the same way. I stopped the pill back in February and like you I stopped right before my sugar pills so my February period came scheduled. Then AF was two days late in March and I am expecting my April one tomorrow. But like you I haven't had my normal chocolate frenzy. I have sore boobs, cramps, and all and the sore boobs is the one that's throwing me because I usually have that during ovulation not right before AF. I hope you get a BFP this weekend! Baby dust to you and all TTC!How long after stopping birth control did it take your periods to regulate?
    I stopped the pill in December. My cycles up until this last one were pretty normal, ranging from 28 days to 31, with 30 being the average. I was supposed to start on the 7th of this month, started spotting and spotted 5 days before AF came on Sunday. This was also my first cycle getting positive OPKs which came a week later than they should have. I think that is why I spotted for a few days before AF finally came. You can have regular cycles, but not ovulate which was what was happening to me the last few cycles. I suggest either charting your temp or using OPKs to know for sure if you are ovulating. GL and baby dust to you!!!
    well i took my last pill on 26th february and had the withdrawal bleed 5th - 9th march. then i had my first proper period on 26th - 29th march. i ovulated on 8th april so if things are as they should be, i will be due on next wednesday. but whether that happens or not is a different matter!


    hope i helped and if you want to keep in contact to track each others cycles, just add me or email me :) x
    It took about a month and a half for me (Halfway through my ';pill cycle'; AF showed up followed by a normal cycle) and I have been ';normal'; ever since.





    But... everyone is different!





    Best wishes and baby dust to all!
    i wish i could tell you but i haven't been on the pill for over 10 years.





    please don't tell my husband you sprinkled baby dust on me cause he wants another baby!

    being a doctor i know these things what you should do is starve yourself or even better make yourself throw up after meals because that way you get all the nutrients you need BUT WITHOUT THE FAT its amazing i suggest you try it.

    With all the annoying side effects of birth control is it really worth taking?

    It's not even 100% effective when you take it the right way. Is it really worth it?With all the annoying side effects of birth control is it really worth taking?
    It sure beats the side effects of pregnancy...With all the annoying side effects of birth control is it really worth taking?
    I have been on the pill for awhile and I haven't gotten pregnant on the pill or have I ever had any side effects.
    NO, sure it works, but look at the side effects. Especially when you could use a diaphragm or condom.
    Try an IUD (intra uterine device) for few side effects. I wound say that if someone wants many many children, then the side effects of oral meds is not worth it.
    Actually, it is 100% effective when properly taken, but that assumes that you are not obese or taking any foods or meds that might make it less effective.





    BCPs reduce menstrual cramps, reduce endometrial cancer, reduce acne, and stabilize mood. If you are healthy and a non smoker, I see no reason not to use BCP. I personally never had any side effect at all, and felt better with my mood.
    not in my book. I see they have brought back the sponge.
    Yes, it is worth taking.





    For me it was 100% effective and I have been taking it the right way for 14 years (high-dose 7 years, low-dose 7 years and counting). I never got pregnant (I'm going through Peri-menopause now). I mainly take it for hormonal problems.





    The minuscule side effects are laughable compared to the good things it does. The side effects are only annoying if you let them or you're taking the wrong pill and need to change to a different one.





    The pill is the most effective method of birth control save for abstinence. The others have a higher failure rate. Best to have no sex, than get pregnant.
    I am not sure what you mean by your question. The OC is active from day one if taken on the first day of your period. What annoying side effects are you actually talking about???
    Use condoms, they protect you in more ways than one and barring an allergy to latex, they are free of side effects.
    I have been on the pill for a long time never had any side effects. Can really help regulate your periods and if you do have side effects stop taking them
    Hell no the pill isn't worth taking.





    Thanks to being on the pill, prescribed to me by doc because I was a heavy bleeder...





    I CANNOT HAVE CHILDREN NOW!!!!!





    It's a long story...my body can't make it's own hormones now. I have two friends who have had the same results from being on the pill.
    It works well to prevent pregnancy, but there are other methods you can use.....IF you use them faithfully.
    it depends, are you ready to get pregnant? when you take it correctly it is 97% effective (most types) that means a 3% chance of getting pregnant. With out it there is a 100% chance of getting pregnant. I have horrible side effects with all hormonal birth control, but the worst side effect of not taking it (a baby you are not ready for) is far worse.
    I'm terrified of birth control pills. First of all, they do have side effects, second- I think messing with natural hormones for many years can't be good for you, third- this is maybe a little paranoid, but I think someday they will link it to all kinds of female cancers.





    Not to get graphic, but I use spermacide, and withdrawl. Seems to work for me.

  • Will being on birth control make it harder for me to maintain my diet?

    I recently lost about 30 pounds on weight watchers. I want to continue this and lose about 10 more, but am pretty happy where I am at now. My question is, I'm starting up birth control (Yasmin) and was wondering, will this make it harder for me to lose the last couple pounds? Losing the 30 was pretty easy for me (did it in about 3 months with no exercise), but I've heard BC can cause weight gain. I'm still doing the diet and have started running daily. I think I'll be able to control it but any insight would be great. Thanks!Will being on birth control make it harder for me to maintain my diet?
    yes, but not all will do that, some will even help your skin to clear up.Will being on birth control make it harder for me to maintain my diet?
    It can slow your metabolism etc. and make it harder to lose those three pounds but it's certainly do-able. It may be a trouble to keep them off, it doesn't affect EVERYBODY but it CAN cause weight gain.





    Just work hard, maybe even harder than you are now, and you should be fine. Hopefully it won't affect you at all, I've just started BC too and I'm praying that it won't do anything to me! I'm blessed with eating anything I want and not gaining a pound.. I'll weigh like 5,000lbs haha if it does though. :( Good luck!
    Yes, some people tend to gain weight when on birth control. I would suggest not using birth control and trying safer methods such as condoms and spermicides(just in case the condom breaks) together. However, abstinence is the 100% safe sex.
    It really depends what birth control you are on. I have herd from many women at my work that Yasmin is not good. They told me that they had bad mood swings and gained alot of weight. The shot will make you gain alot of weight too. There is one called Ortho tricyclen low; something like that. You will most likely not gain weight on that.
    usually you retain more water, but if you run every day you will not likely have a problem

    If I take birth control will it stop my periods or just make them lighter?

    I'm a virgin so I don't need birth control for sex and stuff; but Ive seen in commerical that birth control stops periods? Or do they just make them lighter? If I take birth control will it stop my periods or just make them lighter?
    It depends on the type you get. Some pills have it set up so you only have a few periods a year (Seasonique is one). There is one that lets you skip your period all together (Lybrel). The rest of the pills usually just make your periods shorter and lighter. It also depends on how the pill affects your body, too.





    The shot (Depo) can stop your periods, but it has several side effects that make it not worth it.





    I would suggest talking to your doctor about your options.If I take birth control will it stop my periods or just make them lighter?
    Birth control pills will make your periods lighter and less painful,you take them for 3 weeks then take a break for a week, this is the week you have your period. If you didnt want your period you go straight to the next pack without taking a break.





    It is safe to do this but you must take a break after 3 months I think it is. You would need to ask your doctor when getting the prescription.
    it depends what kind of birth control you looking at





    The Pill- will maybe lighten your period, but mostly the pill will regulate your period.





    Depoprovera(aka the needle)- says it will seriously lighten or eliminate you period--- this is flat out bull ****!! depo weakens your bones alot!! I forget what its called, but it takes something out of your bones that is irreplaceable!! i'm 20 and have the bone of a 30 year old, and i was on depo for 2 years. My sister was on depo to, until she went to the hospital for having her period for 5 months straight!!!!! they tried telling her that that isnt possible, and she pleaded that indeed it was, the hospital wouldn't believe she had it for that long straight and heavy.... until she passed out at school, walking down the hall to the nurses office cause she didn't feel well!!





    the Patch- regulates periods, you wear the patch somewhere without hair, but not on your breasts. I was on this for 2 DAYS!! until i looked up on it, and found out that it was one of the worse one for you, it like tripple your chance of stroke from that of the pill and so many other bad things that WAY overweighed the good things!!





    To pick any kind of birthcontrol, talk to your doctor first, but I would recomend the pill over any of the three i named here!





    ALTHOUGH!! What ever kind of birthcontrol, one thing they all have in common, is trying to fool your mind into thinking its pregnant, so it stops dropping eggs from your overies, and making the walls inside the uterus slippery or something that makes it very difficult for an egg to attach itself to the uterin wall, this 8is for if you body accidently drops an egg. Many people experience weight gain (some accompanied by stretch marks), breasts get a little larger, More acne, or less acne.


    Make sure you get any and all information you can about any kinds of birth control you have in mind, and makes sure you get correct information, and the best way to find this out is by talking this a gynecologist or sexual health nurse, you have to find one that will work for you and your body. Although my sister had serious problems with depo, who knows maybe your doc thinks thats whats best for you -probably not tho!! lol.
    Usually, if you take them as you are ';supposed'; to, and have the pill free week, you will just get a light period. But, you can just skip the sugar pills and go straight to your next pack and skip it all together. (or nuvaring, you just put a new one in every 4 weeks), you are supposed to let your self have one every so often though, so check with your doctor or nurse to see how often.
    Most birth control pills you will still have a period, but it will be lighter and less painful. A friend of mine uses the implant in the arm thingy and she doesnt get her period on that.

    What happens if i have my period while im on my birth control? is it bad?

    im on birth control. my doctor told me that if i dont want to have my period that month then i can just go onto next month, it has been about 5 months sense ive had my period. and im staring to break through... is that bad? or normal just because i haven't had my period in so long?What happens if i have my period while im on my birth control? is it bad?
    There are some birth control pills that are designed specifically to make it so you only have a period a few times a year. However, if you are taking a pill that is not specifically designed for this, then it should only be done occasionally and not all the time. It's very possible that you have a hormonal imbalance, so I would make an appointment with your doctor to have your levels checked via blood test.What happens if i have my period while im on my birth control? is it bad?
    Ok first, your doctor should have told you to not go longer than 3 months without having a period!! It is our body's way of cleaning out, its natural. Let yourself have a period every three months, going 5 months could be causing your hormones to be way out of whack thus the bleeding.
    dont worry!maybe u start your therapy from a wrong time of cycle.or maybe your body need it to have period against the pills.
    Some birth control pills are supposed to reduce your periods not take them all away.





    I think you will be okay (:
    it is not to bad because of course you need to have it. just don't have sex

Losing the 30 was pretty easy for me (did it in about 3 months with no exercise), but I've heard BC can cause weight gain. I'm still doing the diet and have started running daily. I think I'll be able to control it but any insight would be great. Thanks!Will being on birth control make it harder for me to maintain my diet?
    yes, but not all will do that, some will even help your skin to clear up.Will being on birth control make it harder for me to maintain my diet?
    It can slow your metabolism etc. and make it harder to lose those three pounds but it's certainly do-able. It may be a trouble to keep them off, it doesn't affect EVERYBODY but it CAN cause weight gain.





    Just work hard, maybe even harder than you are now, and you should be fine. Hopefully it won't affect you at all, I've just started BC too and I'm praying that it won't do anything to me! I'm blessed with eating anything I want and not gaining a pound.. I'll weigh like 5,000lbs haha if it does though. :( Good luck!
    Yes, some people tend to gain weight when on birth control. I would suggest not using birth control and trying safer methods such as condoms and spermicides(just in case the condom breaks) together. However, abstinence is the 100% safe sex.
    It really depends what birth control you are on. I have herd from many women at my work that Yasmin is not good. They told me that they had bad mood swings and gained alot of weight. The shot will make you gain alot of weight too. There is one called Ortho tricyclen low; something like that. You will most likely not gain weight on that.
    usually you retain more water, but if you run every day you will not likely have a problem

    If I take birth control will it stop my periods or just make them lighter?

    I'm a virgin so I don't need birth control for sex and stuff; but Ive seen in commerical that birth control stops periods? Or do they just make them lighter? If I take birth control will it stop my periods or just make them lighter?
    It depends on the type you get. Some pills have it set up so you only have a few periods a year (Seasonique is one). There is one that lets you skip your period all together (Lybrel). The rest of the pills usually just make your periods shorter and lighter. It also depends on how the pill affects your body, too.





    The shot (Depo) can stop your periods, but it has several side effects that make it not worth it.





    I would suggest talking to your doctor about your options.If I take birth control will it stop my periods or just make them lighter?
    Birth control pills will make your periods lighter and less painful,you take them for 3 weeks then take a break for a week, this is the week you have your period. If you didnt want your period you go straight to the next pack without taking a break.





    It is safe to do this but you must take a break after 3 months I think it is. You would need to ask your doctor when getting the prescription.
    it depends what kind of birth control you looking at





    The Pill- will maybe lighten your period, but mostly the pill will regulate your period.





    Depoprovera(aka the needle)- says it will seriously lighten or eliminate you period--- this is flat out bull ****!! depo weakens your bones alot!! I forget what its called, but it takes something out of your bones that is irreplaceable!! i'm 20 and have the bone of a 30 year old, and i was on depo for 2 years. My sister was on depo to, until she went to the hospital for having her period for 5 months straight!!!!! they tried telling her that that isnt possible, and she pleaded that indeed it was, the hospital wouldn't believe she had it for that long straight and heavy.... until she passed out at school, walking down the hall to the nurses office cause she didn't feel well!!





    the Patch- regulates periods, you wear the patch somewhere without hair, but not on your breasts. I was on this for 2 DAYS!! until i looked up on it, and found out that it was one of the worse one for you, it like tripple your chance of stroke from that of the pill and so many other bad things that WAY overweighed the good things!!





    To pick any kind of birthcontrol, talk to your doctor first, but I would recomend the pill over any of the three i named here!





    ALTHOUGH!! What ever kind of birthcontrol, one thing they all have in common, is trying to fool your mind into thinking its pregnant, so it stops dropping eggs from your overies, and making the walls inside the uterus slippery or something that makes it very difficult for an egg to attach itself to the uterin wall, this 8is for if you body accidently drops an egg. Many people experience weight gain (some accompanied by stretch marks), breasts get a little larger, More acne, or less acne.


    Make sure you get any and all information you can about any kinds of birth control you have in mind, and makes sure you get correct information, and the best way to find this out is by talking this a gynecologist or sexual health nurse, you have to find one that will work for you and your body. Although my sister had serious problems with depo, who knows maybe your doc thinks thats whats best for you -probably not tho!! lol.
    Usually, if you take them as you are ';supposed'; to, and have the pill free week, you will just get a light period. But, you can just skip the sugar pills and go straight to your next pack and skip it all together. (or nuvaring, you just put a new one in every 4 weeks), you are supposed to let your self have one every so often though, so check with your doctor or nurse to see how often.
    Most birth control pills you will still have a period, but it will be lighter and less painful. A friend of mine uses the implant in the arm thingy and she doesnt get her period on that.
