One word. Periods. How to deal with them, and guys at the same time ? HELP?

Okay getting my period sucks. And, most girls don't like to talk about it but i don't mind, so open answers please. I got mine in 3rd grade and mine is heavy, with really bad cramps and headaches, and backaches. I get really short tempered. So what do you tell a guy when you have it %26 they want to do something active with you, but don't like talking about periods or never have talked about it with you. I can't say "i don't really feel like it right now " anymore. i've used that to much. Please help !
Answer:
Try to take a calcium supplement like viactive, I find that it really helps. Start Advil right as you start cramping, don't wait until you are really hurting to start. Keep on a "every 6 hour dose" schedule. Cramping alone can make you even more short tempered.
When someone asks you to do something when you don't feel like it, simply say, "sorry but I have other plans", which is not a lie because if you are like me, you plan to stay on the sofa watching the tele or playing on the computer with a heating pad taking the edge off. If it is your boyfriend, you are going to have to address it at some point. The best thing to do is just to say, "Sorry, it is not a good weekend for that. Buutttt.If you want to stay in and rub my feet and back, and bring me chocolate on demand, then sure" If he's not totally daft, he should catch on at some point.
If by "active" you mean sex, then you should be able to talk to him about it anyway. If you are that intimate, then talking about your period shouldn't be that big of a deal... if you find that you are not able to discuss it with someone you are having sex with, then you should not be having sex anyway!
two words, same here. lol, my boyfriend knows now about when I'm haven mine because we talked aout it, I didn't think he would want to and thought he'd be grossed out but I just gave him the option of talking about it and he could see I wanted to so we did for like an hour. We talk alot though, just say, "Listen, I'm on my period and I'm not in the mood right now okay?" he'll understand!
3rd grade!! Geez, that really sucks. I'm wondering how old you are now?

First thing I would suggest you do is start taking some type of ibuprofen about a week prior to your period. This may ease up on some of your symptoms that you are having.

As far as boys, try and stay away from them if possible when you are feeling this PMS. If not possible and you want to use excuses but you don't want them to know about your period because you just don't feel comfortable talking about it. Make up something really wild. Some suggestions: I have cousins or aunt's visiting that I need to spend time with. (usually boys get this and realize that you are on your period) Try saying that you have to spend the week preparing for exams or something clever.

Hope you have better luck with your period. You will find that it get's easier to talk about as you get older. Even better, it get's easier to talk about to strangers.

Another thing to look into is the type of sanitary products that you are using. I personally use a product called "Instead". You don't even know you are on your period most of the time. Check it out at the site below.

Good Luck girlfriend!
Say it is a bad day or you are having some problems
I think it depends on how well you know the guy.
If he's a boyfriend and you are sleeping with him, then I think you should tell him the truth. Anyone who is supposedly mature enough to have sex should be mature enough to handle bodily functions.
Anyone that you aren't really intimate with doesn't need to know. If you are invited to do something, couldn't you just say you already have plans? This method has the added bonus of giving the impression that you are a busy girl with a full life. Then, if you know when your period will be over, you could just suggest a plan for later on when it's gone.
I have the same 2 words 'same here'.My boyfriend knows when I'm on my period b/c i get very short tempered and I snap alot,we've discussed it though.He understands it well.Just try 2 make a joke about it at first and then just talk 2 him.
Just let him know you're on your period, and ask him very, very politely if he would give you a little space, because you love him, and don't want to hurt his feelings while your hormones are on the rampage, okay?

P.S. The 'because you love him' part is important, because it makes it seem like you want to be with him, you just can't at that particular moment.
It also makes him think you are considerate and respectful of his feeling, and he may appreciate you more.

No promises though.

One whole cup size smaller?

My right breast is an entire cup size smaller, what can I do about this? It is very noticeable when I wear tight shirts. Where can I buy a good insert?
Answer:
this is a pretty typical "issue" for women.

unfortunately, you cna't buy just one insert - they come in pairs.
try fredrick's of hollywood. they have great bras with inserts and sell silicone inserts as well.

One sore red pimple-like bump on vagina?

A sore (not that bad really.) red pimple-like bump, It's on the top just above the clitorous on the skin of the lip, I've had it for four days. It seems to be shrinking in size. Thanks for all those who answer.
Answer:
could be a pimple could be herpes, keep a watch for any new ones closer to the lips.
Most likely an ingrown hair (bodies are gross huh?)
It sounds like herpes.
If it's only one, it's probably an infected hair follicle. They can hurt like hell but usually go away on their own - talk to nurse or doc if it doesn't or spreads.
Did you recently shave the area? Regardless, it sounds like an ingrown hair. If it's shrinking, that's a good thing! It could also be a pimple, but it doesn't sound like anything to worry about.

One side of my lower pelvis is larger than the other?

By lower pelvis, I mean the part where your pube hair starts...kinda weird place, but one day I was freaking out about cancer and decided to feel some weird signs (didn't know what I was looking for) and well I sorta found out that my right lower pelvis is larger than the left. Please please please, I don't think I can get to a doctor unless it's absolutely crucial since my mom works full time, and my dad is barely home and I'm only 13. I don't have any pains or other symptoms that it's irregular, and you can't even see the difference, it's only when you press pretty hard that you can feel the difference between the two.
Answer:
I think you are just alright.. If you dont have any pain, you shuold be just fine! Any part of your body is bigger or smaller than the other, it just may not be noticeable. Not all body parts are identical sizes.. it's not possible!

I have one hip that is higher than the other.. Although common amoung women who have had kids, I've had it since i was young.

Unless you start getting very sick, or have trouble walking, you should be perfectly normal! You can ask your mom if you really are worried. She could take you in for a physical, just to make sure nothing else is wrong.
I think that one side of the body is always larger than the other.

One of the lips of my vagina is bigger than the other and a little swollen.help what is this?


Answer:
If they have always been like that, its normal.
Womens labia come in all different shapes and sizes, some being larger than the other side, each side being different, etc.
If its "new" to you, check with your Dr. There are a variety of infections and diseases that could cause this.
Best wishes!
It's normal, don worry. U hav been overactive it seems.
If it is painful, it could be Bartholyn cyst/abscess. then u need check up. Good luck!
You probably have a mild yeast infection. Or it may just be an allergic reaction to something. Go to the gyno so they can properly diagnose you.
In any case, drink plenty of water and at every meal take 2 spoons of Acidophilus (get it at a healthfood store).
maybe u nid to read anatomy book...its normal to have like dat..the outer aprt is labia majora and the inner part is labai minora...
Having just noticed it doesn't mean it's a new developement.

If you don't have discomfort than there isn't really anything to be worried about.

It's perfectly normal to not be semetrical.

One of the girls I babysit for has been on her period for about 10 weeks she is almost 12. Started at 9.?

We are waiting for her insurance card to arrive but in the mean time I am so worried for her that she will become anemic from loosing all of that blood for so long or that it will affect her when she gets older and wants children...
Answer:
As long as she has insurance she can be treated, all that would need to be known would be who her insurance company is. I would get her to like an urgent or immediate care center. That is a good place to start. Or even call one and see what they say, or call a local emergency room and see what they say.

She needs to be seen, and treated, that much blood loss isn't good. In the meantime, make sure she is eating and drinking well

TIP: Spinach is high in iron which is what you lose a lot of when you bleed.

Good Luck
take her to an emergency room the insurance can be billed later
You mean she has had her period for 10 weeks!!!!??? How can it be that long?? You mean to say she has been on it for 70 days?
take her to any emergency room asap, you can always retro bill the insurance later on. the most important thing is to make sure it is not something more serious than just an abnormal period, better to get it checked out now.
take her to the doctors... this is not normal at all, her future of having children may depend on it! go to a clinic if needed, where is her mother!
Have her parent or guardian take her to the emergency room. Emergency rooms cannot turn someone away just because they have no insurance. They have to provide treatment.

(minors must have parental or guardian written consent to accept treatment.)

One of my ovaries is bigger than the other!?

I was in the hospital the other day as I had to go to the gynae clinic for a check up because last month I had an infection in my womb..so i was obviously asked to go back just to have a check up and see that everything was ok. The gynaecologist gave me a scan..she showed me my womb and said that everything was fine then she moved to my ovaries and said that one of them was bigger than the other, but then she went on to say that this is ok and that its nothing to worry about. What do yous think?? She then went on to say that she wants me to go and have a smear test after i am finished my period(as I have my period at the moment)What does this mean? I have never went for a smear before. Is there something wrong with me?? Somebody please put my mind to rest.. Thank you!
Answer:
ok i dont think anything is wrong, doctors have no shame in telling you when to worry they do a great job at telling. no organs in your body are the same size, measure your ears, legs arms and fingers theyll never be the exact same length. nothing is perfect. doctors always give pap smears thats one of the random tests they do. just to make sure everything inside of you is ok, i had a pap smear when i had just lost my virginity and l was wondering why. its random, in my opinion as long as you arent bleeding in between periods you are perfectly fine.
Relax. A pap smear is a common thing. It's usually part of a regular check up expect when a period is happening.

Nobody's body is perfectly symmetrical. One foot could be bigger than the other. One breast can be bigger than the other. One ovary can be bigger than the other. It happens.
If she is telling you that it is o.k. I'm sure that is the truth. You should have a smear anyway to check for HPV, the cause of most cervical cancer. Once that is done you should go back for a smear every other year for a check. This is normal for all women. Ovaries are like other parts of your body. Maybe one breast is bigger, one ear or nostril bigger than the other. Nothing is perfect. By the way, the smear is just done in the office with you in the stirrups. She'll put in a speculum to open your vagina then swab the inside with a q-tip like thing or else a small brush is inserted into the opening of the cervex. The brush is sometimes a tiny bit uncomfortable but it only takes a second and then is over. Your results should be back within a week at the most. Good luck.

One of my lovers smells. Why do so many of them smell?

Right betweeen the legs. I mean it's not like I'm not going to go there at some point during the f***ing day, IS IT?

Even with the Olay %26 Dove products on the market there is still gash nastiness. I wish i could sensitively tell my lover that she nearly knocks me out but I feel so awkward talking to her about it.

Help.
Answer:
Well before you get it on with her why dont you both hop in the shower before you get down to nookie, surely she ain't gonna smell that bad straight after a shower,lol.
Just be honest with her. It'll do you both some good.
its probably to try keep you away your sick!!!
it sounds like she has an infection.
Two words for you- Fem fresh %26 be a little nicer :0) x
This is obviously a joke question. I was bored so I'm afraid I will dignify this with an answer. Your lover is in fact yourself. You are such a sad ugly loser that you have to resort to shock tactics to get a responce. People will cross the road to avoid you probably because of that smell you mentioned. Go and get some responsibility into your life which in turn will earn you some respect. Have a wash and then people will like you whether you are ugly or not.
you need to take her to the grocery store and buy her some douche. Flush her vaginal area out then before you do anything have her take a shower. Everything should be fine. usually too much sexual activity with out the proper cleansing causes it to smell.
you said ONE OF YOUR LOVERS how many do you have.. could be something they have eaten or or an infection passed from one person to the other.
try summers eve products they have douches washes and sprays..somethin outta work!
I reckon she's deliberately not had a bath or shower in 6 months in the hope it will get rid of you, you moron.
its 'cause you have given them all the clap, errrr you're dirty

One of my breasts are bigger than the other and still in da process of growing iz this normal?

serious answers only plz thnk u
Answer:
Yes dear this is normal ----it will soon catch up with the other one I promise----just part of puberty.
Good Luck!
totally normal, don't worry.
It is completely normal for one breast to be larger than the other. In fact, most women have one breast that is larger than the other. You are probably putting more focus on the breast that is larger, and so it doesn't seem like the other one is still growing, when in actuality, it probably is. I wouldn't worry about it unless it is painful, or you have some kind of bump. In that case, I would consult your doctor. If you are really worried about it, ask your doctor anyway. That is what they are there for!
hey - join my club. My left one is a full cup size bigger than my right %26 its perfectly normal although annoying trying to get a bra that fits both. I think it has something to do with the extra blood flow from the heart or something. Dont worry about it at all. I've been this way most of my life %26 breast-fed all 3 of my kids with no issues. Although, if you eel any kind of lumps or bumps that is making one bigger tha the other, you should have this accessed by your doctor
YES BUT 'DA' AND 'IZ' ISN'T!
it's normal unless you have your period. if u have your period than it should still grow till a age but the the diff sizes i wud ask a docor and a truthful one
Quite normal! I really don't think you have anything to worry about, especially since you are still growing..
Just have fun, and enjoy the summer..
:))
yes, that is perfectly normal. many women's are two different sizes. i've actually read an article saying that women whose breasts are the same size are more likely to get breast cancer, but probably can't really believe that its that way for everyone. mine are, its annoying in like bathing suits but you get used to is and end up just not caring.
It is perfectly normal, though close, humans are not symmetrical in any part of our bodies. Examine your ears, one is higher than the other, check out the length of your arms, odds are that one is slightly longer than the other. The same is true for your breasts, it is perfectly fine to have one larger than the other, and shouldn't be a cause of concern unless there are other symptoms. My mother took me for an examination because of this when I was around twelve, I found the experience to be completely uncomfortable and embarrassing because of my age, I mean, teenage girls have enough anxiety about their bodies. The only benefit I gained was the reassurance that I was okay. From this, I assure you, it is normal, but if you are still concerned you can check with a doctor as well. They will probably even out more as you age, though they may never be perfectly the same, and this is okay. Breasts are beautiful even when different, mine still are, and no man has ever complained.
Completely. No 2 breasts are exactly the same size (Unless they have had the help of a surgeon). Don't worry. I'm sure most people can't even tell.
Yep, don't worry about it. Most chicks have two breasts of different sizes. Guys think nothing of it.

One last question before I go to bed, why do my ovaries hurt so much!!??

Anybody know why I am in pain when my co-workers are on their period?

I hate them all, I had a hysterectomy 4 years ago, and so I have no more periods, I do have ovaries and they keep ovulating!

The girls don't have to tell me they are on the rag, I know..I hate them!! Ouch! Ouch!!!
Answer:
You're in a pre-menopausal state which means your ovaries are still ovulating. Studies have shown that female coworkers can actually have their periods at around the same time every month. Maybe you're just going along with the crowd.
Just be glad you only have the pain.....at least you aren't the one wearing the tampon or uncomfortable pad! =D
why dont you try my teraphy and my virgin oil, it helps .
go to the doctor it might be cancer my aunts got the same problem an she ended up with cancer
Haha. I have the same problem when my friends I'm around alot are on the rag. Just take some pamprin before you go to work. (: It should be fine.
pheremones, too bad you are so nasty about it,
see a doctor,there might be some infection somewhere,not necessarily your ovaries.it could even be a bladder infection.just check.
yer guilty, baby
That's werid and sounds impossable!
i dont know but please tell your doctor ok goodluck
You should be asking that question of the doctor who per-
formed your surgery. I've never known anyone to have pain
in their ovaries after a hysterectomy. It's when they still have
everything intact that that usually occurs. Or so I've learned
over the years. I always had aching prior to and at the start
of my periods. But that eased up as I got older. I'm sure
there must be something the doctor can perscribe to ease
the pain from your ovaries. If nothing else but hormone pills.
Don't put up with the pain any longer. See your GYN soon.
consult your Gynecologist right away,they are the best person to answer your question

One day period. Does it count for the month?

i recently had a one day period. it lasted for about 2 hours. i have never had a one day period. i was wondering if it counted for the month. the reason im asking is because i am about a week late, and the one day thing happened about 2 weeks ago.. help !!
Answer:
It could have been spotting. If you had a heavy flow it could have been your period. A woman's body is a funny thing.
are you sexually active? it could've been implantation bleeding..

One day period pregnant? Miscarriage? cramps! HELP!?

I had a period that lasted 1 day. I never have a period early. I shouldnt be having a period for at least another week or so. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. I had severe pain in one of my ovaries for about 36 hrs. Then it all stopped. Could I be pregnant? I dont want to be.wouldnt a pregnancy test tell me I was after 2-3 weeks after sex? Help!
I have been pregnant before and never had this 1 day bleeding thing.
Answer:
maybe a cyst, a period avgs 3 to 5 days bleeding could be from cyst since only 1 day and not with your schedule, make appointment with gyno, when was last pap?
might be a cyst burst
you need to go to a doctor to find out for sure
go to a doctor and get that pap and a pregnancy test if he sees any signs, geeze
When the ovary pain stopped did you have an upset stomach or nausea? You could have had a cyst and it ruptured. You really do need to get a pap, there could be more going on. Bleeding periodically, ovary pain, and bad cramps COULD be signs of endometriosis. Not saying it is but those are some symptoms.
You answered your own question,Hon.

Once you start the nuvaring, how soon can you go "bareback"?

To be blunt, both myself and my significant other would like for him to "finish" while inside but definetly are not ready for kids. I have not been on any form of birth control (well, other then condoms) in several years.
Answer:
Generally after a week you're okay, but I'd give it a month just to be on the safe side.

Have fun!

Once you are sexually active does your period get behind?


Answer:
Not unless you're pregnant. It shouldn't affect your period at all. Use protection.
No
my cycle changed, when i started to have sex, not by much a few weeks, everyone is different though it may not fo ru
no, only if you're pregnant
Not at all...but i have heard from an aunt who used to say that if a woman sleeps with a man who has another woman that her periods will fall on the same date as the other woman and vice versa...old wives tales i think lol.

Once in a while me and my boyfriend have sex without a condom for about a minute .?

then he puts a condom on and we proceed to have sex. Well that once in a while was on Saturday and after he pulled out he notice he had a pimple under the head of his penis (no its not herpes because I know what it looks like) I urinated afterwards. Can I get anything from a pimple on his penis? I urinated after so did that sterilize my vagina from getting anything. I'm scared that I might get a pimple up my vagina or something else, i'm freaky out, please help! (please no rude answers!)
Answer:
You begin intercourse unprotected and you are concerned about a pimple on his penis? If he is sure the pimple is not something more than just that, you should be fine. Also, I have never heard of "sterilizing" the vagina by urinating. Where did you get the mis-information from? Anyway, to avoid any scares, maybe you should put the condom on when you begin, not a minute or so later.
?? wow hiv, herpes, warts, and pimples oh my goodness... no a pimple i dunnow if its something bad then you sure got it...but no you wont get a pimple inside of you..you need to be more alerted about sex and diseases...
yes i believe you can get a pimple in the vaginal area caused from too much semen boiling up and forming an inflamed boil that causses stress and irritation.
well my dear friend I want to tell you a little story ok..
When I got married I was happy as all get out to be able to get laid frequently without the guilt of "sin". So as I was freely trying things out I saw a little "SKIN TAG" on my husbands penis. well 8 months later I was getting a pap smere, and found Out I had contracted cervical cancer from someone with genital warts. well needless to say the skin tag was a genetal wart and my husband had gotten it from some tramp before me and had no IDEA that it was anything but a little extra growth of skin. I can not have children ever again(thank god for my son i had just after finding out about this cancer) and now have to go to cancer cemo thereapy. I was a vergin
i did every thing right and got it. so be very careful cause sex with people who aren't totally cleared from a blood test that says they are totally free of sexually transmitted deseases is a BIG RISK YOU MAY NOT BE WILLING TO PAY
Allow me to give you some knowledge.

1. Have you ever seen where a penis lives? Yes they do occasionally get a small blemish, one is not a big deal, worry when they come in numbers.

2. If you start having sex without the condom, you mine as well finish without it. That is just as effective as "pulling out".
Most men have pre-ejaculation so you are no longer covering the pregnancy part. And if he had a STD you could get it in seconds.

3. Urinating after sex has NOTHING to do with sterilizing. Urine comes out of the urethra. Not out of the vagina. They are two totally different holes. * Urinating after sex is simply done to keep from getting a urinary tract infection caused by something being pushed into the urethra durning intercourse. Such as skin cells or lubricant or semen or hair or whatever. *

4.Your not going to get a pimple in your vagina, from your mate having a blemish. When he rubs his face on yours when your kissing do you get zits? Nooo. well then.

5. If you aren't aware that you are making these mistakes with condoms, not knowing there is more then one hole down there, or not knowing your man can get a blemish on his penis.. Perhaps you need to lock up that Chasity belt for a few more years and educate yourself.. before you are pregnant or dying of Aids.

On the pill for years, side effects now?

Hello all-I am on the pill Apri (generic for Desogen), and have been for about 3 years; prior to that I was on actual Desogen for about 3 years (even before that is was Lo'Ovral or something, which was horrible lol). Lately I've had sore breasts as well as nipple discharge. I take the pill religiously, and I still know the chances of pregnancy, so I don't need a lecture on that. I just really want to know how many people have experienced side effects of the pill even though they've been on it for years and years. (p.s. Just had period, and all preg tests [blood %26 urine] are negative, so that is not a concern-haven't had sex in over a month-but had the tests done anyways because I'm anal!). Thanks in advance!
Answer:
Some people dont get side effects until later best advice is that you talk to your Dr.

On the pill for 2 days..had unprotected sex with my husband..sore boobs,tired,discharge.from pill or pregnant?

I started the pill the day after my period ended..My husband and I had sex without a condom after 2 days of taking the pill..he came in me.
a week later(still taking the pills)my boobs started getting bigger and sore,I developed a heavier discharge,I'm tired,cramping..
I had these symptoms with my first baby but I wasn't on the pill then so I don't know if these symptoms could be from the pill.
I stopped taking the pill after 12 days and I haven't started any bleeding..it's now been 4 days and no period or nothin.
I don't know what to do.ANY IDEAS?
Answer:
You have to use back-up protection with the pill until you have been on it for 30 days straight. The medicine in the pill does not completely work in your system until 30 days from the day you start taking it. Unfortantnly, the symptoms related to the pill %26 to pregnancy are the exact same symptoms. I suppose you could go ahead and do emergency contraceptive if you are worried that in a few weeks you are going to have a positive pregnancy test (and no it's not abortion, it will prevent anything from developing in there @ all)!
When i got pregnant with my second child, the same thing happened to me. Usually when you start bc pills you are told to use a barrrier method for the first month, since hormones might take a little to stop ovulation. It wouldn't actually make sense to think you got pregnant the week after you got your period, buy nature is unpredictable.
Common sense advice? Go get a home pregnancy kit and see what happens.
whenever you are on a birth control pill you should use back up birth control, a condom, for a week after you have taken your first pill, yes, you needed to stop taking the birth control and call your doctor...get a pregnancy test and if it is negative ask your dr.

On the Pill but Worried..Please Help :(?

I just got my period Tuesday, June 19th, and it ended that following Friday. However, the past couple days, I've had a dull backache and I don't know why :( And just now I got dizzy for a second (this is not unusual for me), but I keep thinking about it and feel like I'm getting dizzier.

Is there any way this could mean pregnancy? I'm on the pill and used condoms last month, and two pregnancy tests came out negative.

Please reassure me; thanks!
Answer:
It is pretty unlikely at this point. It almost sounds more like a kidney infection or you're getting the flu.
I doubt your pregnant.If you just got your period then it would be very unlikely that you could be pregnant.If you really want some reassurance then you should go to your doc and get a blood test.
Good luck
=D
The only way you can be positive you aren't pregnant is a pregnancy test and since you have taken two, I'd say you probably aren't, but I am not a doctor. . .however, I can tell you that the more you worry, the more emotional you will get, and the more your body could react in weird ways. You might be dizzy due to the heat - are you drinking enough fluids? Pregnant women usually get a backache because of the weight of the baby, not at the moment of conception. It sounds as if you are using protection, and being very responsible about that, and I know when I was young and freaked out cause I was late, I'd call the doc (this was before you could buy tests in the drugstore), make the appointment and I'd get my period the next day. Honestly, I'm wondering if you might be reacting to some pressure about having sex - I hope you are OK with what is going on. Good luck %26 take GOOD care of yourself!
It's the pill. Was your period a normal leingth of time? I know the pill made me really sick!
I would highly doubt that you're pregnant considering how safe you've been doing things. I know it's always scary to think you're pregnant, but I think it's something else. I agree that it could be the pill itself, some girls do get really sick from all the hormones. You should definately talk to you doctor about it, they have all different types now, there's probably something better suited for you.

Did you have sex with a condom and got dizzy after that? It could also be a type of allergy to the latex or spermicide.both can make you sick. Talk to your doctor and I'm sure they'll give you great alternatives that will make you feel much better :)

On the Mini Pill, Started bleeding thought nothing of it, its now been 12 days non stop heavy bleeding!?

I started taking cerezet mini pill about 2/3 months ago, I started bleeding 12 days ago, but thought at first pehaps im just spotting. it will calm down. But its since been 12 days of heavy proper period bleeding...is this normal?should i seek advice??
Answer:
Don't stop taking it! Dysfunction or erratic bleeding often occurs in the first 3 months and occasionally in the first 6 on mini pills. Your GP should have warned you about this and anyway it is in the packet insert. By all means go to see your GP if you want further reassurance.
I would stop taking pill if I were you and went to GP to seek for more help if bleeding didnt stop. Some bledding is normal when using contraceptive but heavily bleeding only means its not suitable for you.
I would go back to the doctor and see what he says. I know not every pill is suitable for every woman. I started taking the same mini pill as you last August and haven't had a period since (and I'm not pregnant), I was told that this could happen. I would get it checked, just to be on the safe side.
go and c your doctor,that don,t sound right.u must b knacked.maybe the pill don,t agree with you.i can,t take the pill.i got the same as u.they changed it for a different 1.hope this helps.
I took that and I had very bad stomach pains for the 1st month - depo provera is a much better option - you dont get periods while your on it and its an injection in your bum cheek every 3 months so you dont have to remember to take it daily. Speak to your doctor and tell him your concerns

On the box of tampons they say enter at a angle im not sure what the angle is. Im scared its in rong HELP!?

So anyone with help!!
Answer:
You are not going to hurt yourself.
And you really can't put it in wrong.
If you follow all the directions and when you insert it, tip it toward your spine, you will know when it is in correctly. The only thing you can do "incorrect" is to NOT put it in far enough.
Then it will feel uncomfortable. Then you will know it is not past the cervix. Just reinsert.
Relax!
We have all had the very same questions, concerns and fears.
up
/
/ sort of like that srry best i can do
It just means the angle of your vagina. Once you have put it in, and it feels comfortable, you have done it right. Just don't try and force them in, that's all it means.
You'll be able to tell if you're doing it right or wrong. It won't hurt or anything, it will just be uncomfortable, if it's not in the correct position. Try putting one foot up on the edge of your bath tub or something, and take a few deep breaths and relax before you do it. Make sure to take your time.
i think that confused me to a little bit when i started my period. it just means that you shorta hold the tampon slanted when it goes in, because your vagina sorta slants backwards, it isnt straight up and down. if you know where your vagina is..the tampon should just go in a little bit slanted, dont be scared over it :]

slanted like this: %26#92;
Hahahaha. You must know your own angle.If you try to push it in , it will not go in. There is an angle of penetration and follow that. Nothing serious is going to happen if you miss the angle. It may leak that is all. Learn things the hard way, if your mother is not there to teach you.
That just means that you need to hold your hand not directly under where you place the tampon. Pretend the tampon is a slide, the way a slide slants. Now, in slide position, just carefully insert it. Good luck!
If it is your first time and you are scared, I suggest asking your mom, best girl friend, someone you trust to either help you put it in or put it in for you. My friend was too scared to wear one and one of us helped her. Its nothing to be embarrassed about. Tampons, if inserted incorrectly can cause TSS.
There should be instructions on insertion in or on the box. These instructions show that type of angle that you should use. You could slide your finger in while you are not having your period to feel the angle. That should provide you with the best possible information as to how to slide in the tampon.

On sweating...?

When i was younger and much skinnier about thirty pounds i never really sweated. but now that i way more i tend to sweat more when i go for runs or even when i am sitting in the heat. Beads of sweat roll down my chest and my back. It is really annoying and was wondering if there was any way i could stop sweating so much? Also can i make it smell different other than like a sweet salty smell? thanks for all your help!
Answer:
Lose wieght by constant , daily walking and jogging, and moderate but gradual diet reduction both in overall volume and in fatty, sugary and fried foods.
- stay cooler. choose cooler fabrics, lycra/pure cotton or wear less when possible,(minimalist or more comfortable underwear) run earlier in the day or later in the evening, and swim.
- drink large amounts of water and shower twice a day to reduce smell potency.
I have been swimming daily, walking as often as poss, have changed to diet coke, allow only one serve of pizza or fish and chips per week, and its slowly working for me, about a kg off per week and about 3 cms off my waist per week. without doing anything too violent. if you want a personal trainer via e mail, keep in touch with me, my e mail is on my profile. good luck!
I'm a bit worried at what point you were thirty pounds. OO On another note, you can't really stop sweating. If you were to attempt to stop it completely, you would die, it's a normal body function that keeps you cool. By wearing a type of body lotion in the area's you sweat alot, such as your back and chest, you can rid yourself of the scent though. Any type of physical endurance will cause the body to sweat, you can't really avoid it.
There are some very effective anti-perspirants you can get at any CVS or even Target. "Certain-Dri" is a good example; it's typically for underarm perspiration, but I've applied it elsewhere (my hands) and it severely reduced my problem. Otherwise, there are prescriptions that can fix this. As for the smell, some powder might work.
I was just wondering - have you had any kids? I noticed that I sweat significantly more now than I did before I had 2 kids. It's really gross, I wake up every morning sweaty, even if my house is cool all night. I wish I had advise - hope you find something that helps!
You sweat more because it is harder for your body to cool with the extra insulation, the odour is dependant on diet, genes, hormones and bacteria.

On my bikini line, between my pelvis and right leg, I have a bump, what could it be?

I know that I'd had this thing along the crease between my leg and public area that looked like a scar for as long as I can remember. But since it started getting warmer and more humid, lately the thing has been risen and turned kind of brownish redish pink and hurts when my underwear line rubs against it.
Before, it looked like a scar, but now it looks gross and painful sometimes.
Has anyone ever had something similar, and what is it?
My gyno has never mentioned the thing that looked like a scar before, so if it was something woudln't she have said something at the time?
Just confused.. :(

Oh.. it's about the size of a pencil eraser..
Answer:
ingrown hair(s)
let your doctor know it is red and painful...I'm not sure at first I thought it was an ingrown hair or an abscess, but the more I read into your question, the more I didn't have a clue..
okay, go to googleand find a map of the endocrine system. there are clusters of lymph nodes in the pelvic region and sometimes they get an infection. if the pinkish brown bump is a good bit under the skin (can move around and grasp under) there is a chance that is all it is especially since it is very painful. I had that once and my doctor said it was a normal thing. however, if it doesn't go away, keeps getting bigger, more painful, you really should go to a doctor. a vague description of something i have dealt with is not a diagnosis of your problem. otherwise, it is a common thing and will get better in time!
It is from wearing jeans. The seam of the jeans rub against your skin.

On behalf of my gf - smear test worries?

My gf is going to have her first smear test this week, she's really worried about it, I can understand why. We've looked it up on the internet and it's the speculum that she's worried about. Any tips for making the process a little easier on the day?
Answer:
im exactly the same if i have a smear test i worry myself to much about it, i turn up have it done then go home and think phew what was all the fuss about, if she relaxes while having it done then it will be easier tell her she will be fine, its a very embarrasing procedure but they do it all day everyday the nurse makes it descreat by putting a towel at the top of the legs so only she can see where she needs to go!!!1 honestly it doesnt hurt and is over before you no it. all worth it in the end
best of luck.x
There really is nothing to worry about, it lasts all of a few seconds and then its done!

The trick is to just relax, if she tenses up it just makes it slightly uncomfortable, but really tell her not to worry there is nothing to it.xx
I know it's not easy, but they key is to RELAX. Have her think about something other than what's going on and look at the ceiling. It's really not as bad as you think. Not painful, just uncomfortable. And you can barely feel the actual test being done. It's just a swipe with a cotton swab. Anyway, the more relaxed the muscles are, the easier the speculum is going to be going in.
Just to relax. They will put plenty of lubricant down there to help. Its not too bad.
I had mine done a few months ago, and it wasn't bad at all! I was REALLY worried about it as well.

Is her doctor a woman? I would suggest getting a woman because she will make it a lot more comfortable for her.

Luckily the speculum used these days is plastic (or at least the one my doctor had was) she even had warming jelly and everything. It doesn't hurt... a little uncomfortable... but it doesn't hurt.

Hope that helps a little
Been there - done it many time. Yes, relax is the best thing. It's very quick %26 entirely painless.
take god with you and know that everything will be alright, and even if something happens you will get thru it.
tell her to relax it's not that bad..
There really is nothing to worry about, the tools used seem a little rough. The worst thing you can do is get stressed and tense up. To doctors this is a medical procedure and nothing sexual by any means.

Good Luck! Good thing you are going!
Just tell her to relax, relax, relax. If she tightens up, it'll be more uncomfortable. Tell her to bring a picture or something to focus on, it'll be a snap. They use lots of lube, so that'll make things easier. And if she gets very uncomfortable, she should tell the gynecologist, who will then use a smaller speculum..
well it's no picnic no matter how often you've had one, but the trick is, relax, think of something nice,
it doesn't last long, it just feels strange, having a cold "thing" inserted then expanded, she'll feel a bit uncomfortable, the doctor will scrape the neck of the cervix to get some skin cells, this again feels strange, but the whole thing only lasts a few minutes.
just relax and try not to tense up.
tell you gf not to worry x
1. There is nothing to worry about.

2. It doesn't hurt AT ALL.

3. It is best not to worry and get worked up over these things. The body will be tense and the whole thing will be a discomfort rather than the simple procedure which it actually is.

4. You write: "I can see why"..I'm not quite sure how you can see why she would be worried. You are a guy, right? You don't actually have any part of your anatomy that compares to the vagina. On the one hand, you can't actually say: "Don't worry" because what do you know, eh? On the other hand, you want to be supportive just the same. I would say: "Take it from other women who have had more than 30 smear tests....There is absolutely nothing to worry about."
Really.

It is simply a scraping (which is hardly felt) of cells from the cervix to check for abnormalities. Imagine if you took a swab (sample) of cheek cells. This is the same idea.
If you haven't had a baby or you had a Cesarean section, remind them to use a small speculum and everything will be ok.
hey! i remember my first! there is nothing to wory about, all she will need to do is lie back an relax, the best thing to do is take deep breaths and try not to tense up as this will make a little uncomfortable! it will be cold and your body cant help but tense up a little but as i said take deep breaths and it will be over in less than 5 mins! try not to worry but make sure she does go and keeps going in the future.

good luck and she'll be fine!
you just have to try to relax,practice some deep breathing techinics,it really isn`t that bad,considering the effects if any abnormalities were to be found,this is a very small price to pay for piece of mind.I had abnormal smear test after going for a routine smear,which for me ended in having a hysterectomy ,but if i had n`t had the smear i may not be hear to tell the tale that was 16years ago,so please please just go and have it done for your own sake,good luck.
Tell her just to relax. Nothing is going to be done to purposely embarrass or hurt her. The doctor sees like 100 hoo-ha's a day, so he knows what he's doing. It last 30 seconds, maybe a whole minute. Remind her that she鈥檚 doing this for her health and that every woman gets it done (or should be getting it done).

The most annoying part is sitting in the waiting room. They like to make you sit and read old, out dated magazines! Oh the torture!
well i can advise u to try and do something lovely for her or something lovely,romantic or maybe even dirty to take her mind of itand to lighten up the mood
i know how she feels hunny. i got told off for not having a smear for 16 years, i couldn't bear the thought of having it done as i was a victim of sexual abuse. when i finally plucked up the courage to go i was later informed i had cervical cancer. my heart sank. i know she will be scared but it is so important that she has it done sweety. i am so glad i had it done. it saved my life. it is a tiny bit uncomfortable and the position you have to lie down in isn't very flattering,but it is so important. the speculum itself will not hurt at ll,but she may feel a bit of discomfort when they scrape the inside for a sample. it is over in a matter of 5-10 minutes. make sure you go with her for support if you can. my partner came in with me as i was so distressed. I'm sure the nurse will let you do the same if you tell them how nervous she is. hope all go's well for you both. warmest regards xxx
It's never easy having to go to the doctor for something like this, your gf is bound to feel worried and concerned about it, I don't think looking it up on the Internet will ease any of her fears, but full marks for trying to help her :o)
It's not a pleasant thing to have done, but it's not as bad as your head thinks it's going to be, your gf hopefully has an understanding doctor who can help her relax during her smear, some doctors talk all the way through so you don't even realise until it's over that it's happened, she won't be able to see what the doctor is doing, but that's not to say she won't know.
HOWEVER!!
The most important thing to remember is that this HAS to be done and it's IMPORTANT for your gf's health that she regularly goes for her screening, the earlier that anything is noticed as being different from the norm, the better the treatment available.
I have had treatment in the past for abnormal cells, and that is quite a big thing to get your head around (as I'm sure thousands of other women will agree) but I'm a happier person for knowing that my doctor is keeping a watchful eye over my health, and I think it's great that you are supporting your gf in this, well done!!
The best way to deal with it is simply to try your hardest to relax i know its easier said than done but it is really the best thing to do and try talking to someone while they are doing it truefully there is nothing to worry about

On average, how many times per sexual relationship does a girl has orgasm?

I know it may vary big time, but do the girls expect to have ,for example, one orgasm per 3 sexual relationship, or more or less?
Answer:
It can take a few times together for two people to get used to one another's preferences in bed, but after that it should be likely each time, provided there is open communication between the two partners and both are interested in the other's pleasure.
It actually took me a long time of having sex to realize that I was the one responsible for having an orgasm, if I wanted one. A girl can diddle herself during sex or ride a guy at the angle/speed she wants, so it's not entirely up to the guy to GIVE her one. Women need to be more proactive if that's what they want. that said, I don't necessarily have to have an orgasm every time I have sex, it can be satisfying even without orgasm.

On average when do women lose their virginity?


Answer:
It depends...ig you are ugly..92..if you are hott..14
tell me what is your age ... i wl advice weather it is right or wrong for you .. hee..hee..
it comes from a variety of ages; it can start from anywhere
on average a girl loses her virginity when she has sex lol
16
It depends on the girl. I know someone who lost it at 12. I lost mine at 15. My two best friends didn't lose theirs until they were in their 20's. It's a big decision to have sex for the first time, because it's just like time itself... you can only go forward... you can never go back. You should honestly know yourself and whether you're truly mentally ready to handle such a transition. The girl that was 12 later had regrets. I came to terms with my decision and so never had regrets. One of my 20 year old friends had regrets and one didn't. It depends on the mental maturity of the girl whether she can cope with her own physical maturity. However, I wouldn't suggest on being eager to have sex. It's a lot more complicated than sticking strange things in strange places.
And please don't listen to guys like the one who posted before me. He's obviously a sick pedaphile.
New Zealand has the 4th youngest average age for loss of virginity at 17.8yrs.

On average how wide does a vagina dilate during child birth?

What range is it in inches?
Answer:
When they measure dilation during labor, they are actually measuring the cervix, not the vagina. The cervix is the opening to the uterus. It opens up to 10 centimeters, or 4 inches.
hi. :)
Ever seen a baby's head? About that big lol
(feels kind of strange to be a guy answering a guy's vagina question in Women's Health, but it is the 90s I guess!)
6 - 8 inches
fully dialated 10 centimetres
when it openeds to 10cm, the baby is ready to be born.

Omgggg my arms are soooo sore from working out...any tips to relieve the pain?

my arms are so soreeeee i can barely move them.. any tips to lessen the pain pleaseeee thanxxx
Answer:
I included an excerpt from a pretty informative web site below. It's a common misconception that the pain you experience after a rigorous workout is all due to lactic acid buildup.
Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after a workout is quite common and quite annoying, particularly if you are just beginning an exercise program or changing activities. For the new exerciser who wakes up one day and goes a three mile walk, followed by push-ups and sit-ups, there is bound to be some muscle pain and soreness the next day or two. This is a normal response to unusual exertion and is part of an adaptation process that leads to greater stamina and strength as the muscles recover and build. The soreness is generally at its worst within the first 2 days following the activity and subsides over the next few days.
What Is the Treatment for Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness?
- Wait. Soreness will go away in 3 to 7 days with no special treatment.
- Avoid any vigorous activity that increases pain.
- Do some easy low-impact aerobic exercise - this will increase blood flow to the affected muscles, which may help diminish soreness.
- Use gentle stretching on the affected area
- Gently massage the affected muscles,
- Try using a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications to reduce the soreness temporarily, though they won't actually speed healing.
- There is some evidence that performing Yoga may reduce DOMS.
- Allow the soreness to subside thoroughly before performing any vigorous exercise.
- Don't forget to stretch and warm up before your targeted activity.

Obviously, if the pain does not subside within a few days you should consult a physician. Good luck.
Did you stretch out/cool down. Try taking a hot bath. It happens to me all the time.

Take care x
go to bed! it is due to the release of lactic acid in the muscles telling you ya need oxygen go to bed and rest!
I tell you how i know partying last night due to my prom night! legs ached once i got in bed it was ok

REST!
Rest! Always make sure to have a day to rest between strength workouts. This actually improves your muscle!
If the pain is really bothering you, you may take a pain reliever (always follow the recommended amount)
Taking warm or slightly hot (but comfortable) baths with relaxing bath beads often help as well.
If you are still sore in three days you should consult with your doctor.
lay down for a couple of minutes close your eyes and think about good things it will help.

you go girl keep working out!
Ibuprofen (Motrin) or Naproxen (Aleve) if you are not allergic to this medicine. A hot bath. Gentle stretching.
You can take a warm with with some Epsom Salts in it. You can get Epsom Salts pretty cheap from Wal-mart or any other store. Just sprinkle a bit in the warm bath water. Then, soak in the water. You may want to moisturize by putting lotion on afterwards, since the salt can dry your skin out at times. Also, you can read on the package from the Epsom Salts and it tells about compresses you can make for sore muscles. You need to drink lots of water so it can help to flush out the toxins that are built up in your muscles from the workout. If you can get someone to give you a massage on your sore muscles and then drinking water afterwards for a while, it will really help to flush out that nasty toxins. For future references, always make sure you do a warm up before working out and a cool down after the warm up and stay hydrated. If you stay laid up now, you will be very sore tomorrow and stiff. You need to stretch and massage the muscles. Hope this helps. Hope you feel better soon!

Omg. when oh when will my body get back to normal after going off deprovera shot...uuggh?

i received my last shot dec 28th and have never had another and still have not begun my period and i am pertrifyed about becoming pregnant and really just want my regular old cycle back, was nice not having a period for 3 years however it has wrecked havoc on me.
Answer:
Every woman has a different reaction to the dep shot. While some women are okay in three months, some take six.

If you are scared about becoming pregnant use a barrier method (condoms) every time until you go back on hormonal birth control. Is there a chance you are pregnant? If so, level with yourself and take a home pregnancy test or make an appointment w/ your ob-gyn (if you have one) or make an appointment with your doc or family practitioner.

Keep in mind ovulation can potentially occur anytime if you are off the shot. Condoms (while not 100% safe) are fairly reliable. Spermicide helps as well.

Good luck.
It took me six months to "get back to normal"!! And you know what? i DID get pregnant!
wait n watch! Good luck!
It could take well over a year for you to get your cycle back and when it comes back it may not be a regular cycle. I had this shot many years ago and it took me over a year to get it. You should use alternative protection in the mean time and enjoy not having a period.

Omg, took long enough for someone to notice my nickname...lol?

if adam had a tummy button, how couold he be created, it would mean he had developed in the womb and then was born.
Answer:
OK! SOMEONE HAND ME MY CRACK PIPE
If he didn't have a belly button then that would be because of his DNA which would mean that some of hiw children may not have them either. There you go!
No way to know if he had one or not...and I believe he was created.
I'm sure several noticed your nickname but no ones cares..
I don't get it?
Whats this got to do with women's health.

OMG! What should I do... read details?

My gf and I were trying anal sex and wtf, her *** was bleeding like hell. I did the primary stuff (antiseptic cream and bandaid) but do you think I should take her to a doc? Or will it heal by itself cause it looked kinda scary to me?
Answer:
the blood vessels in the anus are close to the skin and can be ruptured very easily. she will heal on her own but i think that bandaid should come of... thats not gonna do much help. it will heal soon, it wont take long.
it's heal on it's own
If its bleeding then you might want to. You put a band aid on her ***?
ofcourse its going to bleed. Just like taking a bid dump when you're dehydrated. If it bleeding a lot like a period the next day, go to the hospital.
ewww, why would you do that? There is no way that she enjoyed that and now her butt is bleeding, ewww, good luck

OMG! My pal had the ugliest fight with her boyfriend of 10 yrs this morning. She broke up with him.?

however he wouldn't let her leave and punched her on her stomach about 8 times! Now she feels like vomiting and has some aches. Is this normal and should she go to the hospital?

I don't know what to tell her or how to help.
Answer:
Don't do more than she asks you to. Domestic fights are touchey. Try to git her to the E.R. if she tells them what happend THEY will call the law.If you call and they git back together thn you are the bad guy.
get off the computer and go to her house.
and take her to the er.
yes! take her to the hospital! she could be bleeding internally, and make sure to also call the cops on the b@stard.
Got to the hospital, and call the police.
1 call cops
2 take her to the hospital
omfg call 911

OMG! WOMEN ONLY: i feel like my entire kitchen is falling out..THESE CRAMPS ARE KILLING ME??

HELP! i need someone to hold my hand...i promise (since i can't swear) this is almost as bad as contractions...

what in the world is going on...i started cramping since day before yesterday, typically i do for the first day, but we are on day 3 and even with pain killers i haven't had a break...non stop throughout the night...i'm exhausted...i'm nauseated, i can't even eat it hurts so bad...i'm sleepy but i can't fall asleep through it...aaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

i'm not a complainer, but this is absurd...

have you ever had cramps this bad?

girls...please...say a little prayer for me...
Answer:
*holds your hand*

Sweety, just don't seem right you need to be in this pain its only Saturday. You aren't thinking of waiting until Monday to see a doctor are you. Aren't there some clinics or something someone can take you to? I hate to break it to you, but some women have pain just this bad.
Try laying on your left side for a couple hours. They tell you to do that when you are preggo it is the best way to take pressure off your female organs.
How old are you Sweety?
If you are of age to be going threw the change you may really need to see a doctor for sure. When my Grand-Mother-In-Law went threw the change, her pain was so terrible with menstruation that she was having to have a D%26C done every 3 months.
I really hope you deside to see a doctor, by Monday with no sleep and no food and exhaution they might want to put you in the hospital to get fluids. Give the ER a call, ask them if this is something you should come there for, or if they might suggest somewhere because you cant wait until Monday.

Good Luck Sweety.
Hope you feel better real soon.
Maybe you should see a doctor?
First off wow... You know what I would do cause I don't think cramps are normally supposed to get that bad. I would go to the hospital maybe there is something else going on... Maybe they can give you a stronger pain medication... Girl I feel for you.. My cousin got cramps so does my freind in there legs. it's terriable. I wish you luck but take that into considersation.
Summer Time
Get a heating pad and 4 Advils or Motrin.take the pills...lay down, put the heating pad on your tummy where your cramping.it always does the trick when my cramps are out of control. Key thing is, is to take the pain meds BEFORE it gets too out of hand, its harder to control pain when its in full swing!
This used to happen to me, too, so I definitely feel your pain. I'd be exhausted and vomit constantly. I'd have migraines and terrible, excruciating cramps.

You may possibly have Endometriosis- a condition when cells grow outside of the uterus. Endometriosis can cause all of the symptoms you have, and a visit to a doctor will let you know for sure and be able to prescribe you medication to relieve the symptoms.

Until then, try eating chocolate or bananas as those are known to lighten the intensity of cramps. A heating pad on your lower abdomen may also help.

Even if you just feel like lying in bed, excercise will help also. Keep your body moving.


Good luck.
no, i recommend you go to the doctors.
I had cramps so bad once that i could not get out of bed. so i know how you fell. I will pray for you
I've only ever had cramps that bad once, and it was the first month I was on the contraceptive pill - I thought I was actually haemorrhaging I lost so much blood and the pain was absolutely unbearable.

Is there any chance you could be miscarrying? If there's even a remote possibility that you may have been pregnant, you should go to the hospital and be checked out.

As for pain relief, what are you taking? You can take up to 800mg of ibuprofen (motrin in the USA) four times a day (but don't take it on an empty stomach), and you can take 1g of paracetamol/acetaminophen (tylenol) 4 times a day. If you (or anyone else) have anything stronger, any prescription painkillers which contain codeine or something similar, take some of them. I wouldn't normally advise taking someone else's prescription drugs, but in this situation I think it's acceptable.

Have you tried all the usual things like hot water bottles and warm baths? I really feel for you and I hope you feel better SOON. xxx
wow i never ed had cramps that bad...but i also think u should see a doctor because i don't think that's normal
yes i've had cramps this bad. in these moments it feels like dying. and i'm sorry to say nothing helps...except a big electric body massager which vibrates.

but since i'm pretty sure you don't have that. do an infusion with thym leaves and drink it hot, like tea. then just lie down and wait for it to pass.

the only thing that prevents my cramps is regular exercise. i need to go gym more than 3 times a week. seriously it works.
go to the doctor hunny

i get HORRIBLE cramps but never that bad! %26lt;333
place a hot water bag on ur tummy (but please be careful with hot water,don't burn yourself and don't fill the bag all the way up leave some empty space) always works for me.also see your doctor for better advice
Firstly, drink lots of water [ice cold or warm]. Don't have room temperature because it's most likely to make your nausea worse. Warm is probably better but you can feel ice cold inside you so that might help too.
Hot chocolate is an alternative for if you don't feel like water. Drink it slowly and with lots of marshmellows on top. Chocolate is proven to boost your mood by releasing things called endorphins into your brain, so you can have bars of chocolate - forget the calories if you feel bad.
Drink ginger ale or flat cola or 7UP - these will calm your stomach and work wonders.
Mints can help too, such as spearmint polos.
Put a hot water bottle on your stomach and keep it on, even if the cramps go away for a bit. Keep it on and keep re-filling when it starts to go cool. You need to keep it on so the cramps will go away completely.
Keep busy - go to the shops, see a friend or go for a quick walk - these are likely to take your mind of the ball. You'll soon forget about them cramps - the more you think about them, the worse they get.

After you've done all them, if they are still really bad, it's best to go to the hospital. Nobody can have period cramps that bad without a medical condition, so you need to get checked out. I hope you're okay - and I will pray for you! God bless!
I used to get HORRIBLE cramps too. I couldn't move and I'd get hot flashes, dizzy, feel like passing out, and I'd throw up all day. This all started out of nowhere too. I used to have normal periods then all of a sudden they changed I guess. But when I started taking bc pills it stopped. Anyways I think this can be normal but talk to your doctor if it happens next period
If the pain is that bad and abnormal you should see a doctor and find out if it's actually a miscarriage. :( Good luck.

OMG who is so stupid they think their period stops when they go swimming?

I saw some answers where these girls said their period "stops" when they go in the pool!! OMG, what morons. Don't they realize they are still bleeding and the water just washes their blood away and everybody else is swimming in water with their blood in it??
Who else is going to think twice about going into a swimming pool next time? I feel sick.
Answer:
I don't see anywhere that these girls WERE NOT wearing a tampon. But if they aren't then that kind of yucky but there's thousands of microscopic items swimming around in pool water anyway, not to mention, mucus from nostrils and other self lubricating orfaces, sweat, skin cells, and if the person did not clean themselves so properly after to going to the john, ha ha. A few red blood cells are the least of pool goers problems.
I don't swim in a pool with my period. That girl is just an idiot she needs to use a tampon!
I agree it is incredibly gross.
Some ladies have this experience and that is when they start doing exercise or they start doing a form of physical activity, their period stop but only when they are doing the activity. Once they stop doing it, it will come back again.
those ppl are so gay why would thwey think that the blood washes off you duh? what ywould make it stop? no really they should anwser that what would make it stop
I agree-the girls who think that are idiotic and un-informed.

As for thinking twice about swimming in a pool - as long as you don't swallow the water, swimming in a pool should involve no second thoughts.
See? This is why I'm scrimping and saving to build my own!!
i know...god wear a tampon for gods sake
Yes I agree they need to use tampons. Although the water pressure does keep the blood inside but right when you get out of the water there will be blood everywhere so it's not smart at all. Luckily I have a pool at my house so I don't have to swim in a public pool with who knows what in it.
I completely agree. I don't know where these people get their information! Nothing stops a period.
Next time I am thinking about going swimming I'm going to see who is in the pool first.

OMG OMG please?!? killer cramps!!?

OMG i have the worst cramps ever!!!!!!!!!!... I can't stand it. Please help me!! i feel like someone punched me in the stomach! Please help meeeeee. I tried heat, didnt work. I can't swallow medicine so dont tell me to do that. I can't handle this! I am only 14.

It feels like i have to do a #2 but i tried and it didnt work. I am shaking they are so bad!! please please please please please help me!
Answer:
Heating pads usually help me. But since that didn't work, and you can't swallow pills...

I've known some girls who will lay on the floor in a certain position to alleviate cramps. Try getting down on all fours and then sitting back onto your feet. Sit/relax there for a while.

Sitting in a hot bath sometimes helps me too.

Something I also do that seems to work well is laying on my back with something 'heavy' laying on my stomach. I have bean pillows, so they're heavier than normal pillows, and they can apply pressure to the spot that hurts. For some reason it helps.

Are you sure you can't swallow pills? Some Midol would probably do you good. :(
eat a banana or sit with a heating pad or hot cup of tea.go jogging or do some sort of exercise.if you are using a tampon take it out immediately and use only a pad for the next day or so of *your period it could be tss...
Breathe and relax, and if you are in that much pain, you will learn to swallow pills trust me...bc I have a hard time swallowing pillls to but when I have killer cramps...i make myself...just eat something and stick the pill in your mouth right before you swallow your food!
If you get them, don't let cramps sneak up on you! It's best to start taking pain relievers slightly in advance of the cramps. Your mom or dad can help you decide when to start taking pain relievers and give you the correct dose of the medicine. A parent also can set a schedule so you can take another dose of pain reliever at the right time.

You'll want to take it before school, for instance, and maybe have it on hand at school so the nurse can give you a dose at the right time. By taking pain relievers on a schedule, you can keep cramps away so you can go about your normal day without feeling awful.

What else can you do? Exercise! Being physically active can ease cramps, probably because exercise releases endorphins, chemicals in the body that make you feel good. Eating right and getting enough sleep also can keep you feeling your best.

Some girls say putting a warm water bottle or compress on their belly helps them feel better if they have cramps. A nice warm bath is another option. Ahh ... feel those cramps just floating away.
if you can not take meds the throw up, that will make you feel better. Try and take some liquid pain killers for children. Anything is better than nothing.
I can completely relate to that kind of pain!! When I get those kind of cramps I use dissolvable Solpadine, you just add the tablet to water it dissolves with a bit of a fizz %26 you can drink it straight away. It's a life-saver and I swear by it!!
Has this happened before?? You may need to go see a gynocologist, you may have abnormal periods. Well sorry to say the pain won't go away without medicine. They sometimes have liquid pain relievers over the counter, you can try that, or do what my friends used to do (they couldnt swallow pills either) Take a gel cap pill, or tablet, crush it up on a spoon, and put pudding, or any other soft substance and swallow it down with some juice, that way you wont taste it, and can get the medicine into you. Keep a heating pad on, and lay in bed.feel better
Go to your doctor if you are in that much pain. Your doctor might be able to prescribe some muscle relaxers, they come in chewable if you cant swallow a pill. worked wonders for me! Feel better soon!
ok...stop.. i will punch uy in the stomich if you dont stop yelling...its normal its okay talk to ur parents

Omg im so scarred?

ok i got my perod twice in one month and im so scared because i think im supposed to get my period again this month even when i had unprotected sex thats what make me even more scarred the bad thigs are that my periods are really irregular because i took plan b so there all messed up the month before i got my period twice in one month i took the plan b so i don't know if two months later the plan b is affecting my periods two months later help me im suppose to get this week its about the same time i got last month when i got my period twice in one month so am i suppose to get again
Answer:
1. What is plan B? Do you mean the morning after pill?

2. Stop having unprotected sex. That's how you get diseases.

3. Irregular periods are common in young women.

4. Call your doctor. Bleeding can be a sign of something more serious. The earlier you deal with it the better.
take a pregnancy test...
ok calm down are you on any birthcontrol? because this can affect your periods and so can stress also if you are so freaked take a pregnancy test or call your doctor i have had two period in one month and also missed it for three months when i was in highschool and was not pregnant
U r scared, not scarred. Do as Gordita says.
ok, could barely understand your question. but A: get off your butt and go get put on birth control. and try to still use condoms to protect against std's. B: if you're not pregnant, having alot of sex can throw off your periods. C: relax and wait to find out. but dont go risking it anymore. as scared as you sound, there is no reason not to call a doctor and schedule an exam and start BC. if money is an issue, i know that alot of towns offer medical clinics where your exam is next to nothing and the bc is either free or dirt cheap. this is your life hun, dont go screwing it up. take it seriously.

Answer:
Its not uncommon to get your period twice in the one month. If you are an exactly 28 day cycle then sometimes you might get your period twice in the one month because most months have 31 days, so you get it at the start of the month and near the end because 28 days have passed. Dont worry about it. I suggest you see your GP and get some reliable contraception if you are having sex because although plan b is a way to prevent pregnancy, its not a method that you want to keep using because this can really mess up your body and while your at the GP ask her about all of these problems with your period and is it something that you should be worried about.
Yes, it could effect you for several months. It was some pretty serious horomones that you took.

Dear girl, you need to learn your lesson and get on some dependable birth control. One scare in a lifetime is all you need.
I think you missed about 10 periods in that paragraph...

Seriously tho, if it doesn't come this week, get a pregnancy test and some freakin' reliable birth control.

OMG im kinda short and i realy wanna grow. how can i grow like 3 inches by the end of summer? HELP ME PLEEEASE


Answer:
It's not going to happen by the end of the summer no matter what you do.

If you don't mind waiting a year (at least) and you are really, really to grow taller, if you have the money and if you don't mind living with an incredible amount of pain for a year (and you don't mind sitting for practically the whole year too), there's a surgery you can have when they cut your leg bones and put your legs in a stretcher thing and you have to wait for the bone to grow out.

It's really not that bad being short. You might not like it at first, but over time you will find its advantages (or you can ask other short people who are happy with their height)

Realistically, if you don't want to stay short, do not under any circumstances take gymnastics, because the pressure that goes against your spine compresses it. That's why so many gymnasts are short.

There are a few types of exercises that you can either make you a bit taller and/or appear taller, so look those up (sorry I can't name any). As for growing three inches, unless you get a sudden growth spurt, tough luck.
You can't, just let nature take it's course and be patient.
When you get older you'll get taller.
ummmmm.drink milk?? weellll good luck to you.
desperate measures ! : use a shampoo that promotes for longer hair like sunsilk green ! goodluck!
or beter yet buy a hair extender, then u can have more than just 3 inches.

OMG im freaking out!!?

i got my period one day early.that was yesterday.
today it seemed to be a little bit of brown mixed in.
but when i wipe, its still red.
just right now a tiny TINY bit of brown.
sorry for the details.
whats going on?
Answer:
the brown is older tissue/blood and the bright red is fresher tissue and blood - don't worry it does this, often at beginning of period will get brown blood as its the oldest stuff.
uhh, nothing. that's normal.
Are you stressed? Variants in your exercise or daily sched? Sick? I wouldnt freak out unless you start discharging clumps, bleeding profusely, or cramping more than normal. But you may want to go to a gyno if you think its serious.
It would be your hymen, but I don't really think so unless you've ingaged in any sexual activity or active sports.

Sometimes periods just do this sort of thing, it's completly normal. Don't be alarmed! They'll do all sorts of strange things thoughout your life, it's just hormones.

If your that concerned, you can go see a doctor.

But really, your a 100% fine.
your period will not be always on exactly the right day thats normal. especially one day off. when you have your period it isnt just eliminating blood it it getting rid of the lining of your uterus, thats what menstruation is and thats what i would imagine your brown situation is. PLUS it is not your hymen
totally normal
If it's only a day early,
there's honestly nothing to worry about.
And the brown is nothing to worry about either.
The brown just means it's older tissue%26blood.
Red is younger. No worries.%26lt;3

Omg i srsly need help!! someone please help me.?

ok so iv been talking to this one kid, he is going into the 11th grade, im going into the 9th.we were talking, and he said he wanted to 'hook up'. i didn't rly know what it meant, but i assumed it meant like you know, date, make out. etc. . but then he wanted to know where, so i was like idk. then he said 'well i don't think you would want me to finger you in the public' and i was just like speachless. i do not want to do that, i am SO not ready for any of that,. he also wanted to like eat me out. no way jose. how do i like tell him off. but not be rude. hes already had sex iv barely been to second baseee.
AHALSKDJALSDJ.
HELP HELP HELP.
Answer:
You go and tell him no. Be firm and no matter what he tells you, stick with your NO. Don't bother with any excuses, trust me, i'm also 14 and a guy that asks you to have sex with him while you're not ready is not worth dating. If he starts getting aggressive tell him to back off and go away. Don't feel bad, there are plenty of better guys out there that's worth your attention. Good luck!
Lol tell him you like somone a lot already and you want to stay commited to just one guy!
Chill gurliee ! , ahah xD . try to tell him politly that your not ready for that $hit , your only fuckin 14 yrs oldd . Same here, im your agee :P But ., if he dont listen tell him to back the f*ck off ! or call the police ! that can helpp , :) Well , thats all i can say . ehe . Good luck missieeee ! :P
just tell him that that was not what was on your mind,actually u never thought of a thing like that when u said hooked up, or maybe that u have never heard anybody use the word before, so this is what u actually thought and tell him truthfully. then if he gets mad at u, thats it,u can't help it.
Such an asshole! I would just tell him you're not that kind and certainly not ready. He will probably be very mean to you (that's the ego talking) but just imagine getting an STD from him... Just stay away, that guy's a serious user and a loser. I really respect you for having enough respect for yourself (and the common sense, too). Good luck!
Just tell him No. and be firm.
just tell him you're not into that kind of stuff. that's what i do. and that's how i get them off my back.

Oldest job on Earth...HOW?

Im soo confussed, okay prostitutes have sex, sex often leads to pregnancy if there's no contraception but during those years (like thousands of years ago) how were they able to still be prostitutes and no have children? I mean, did they use contraception ? if yes then what?
Answer:
They had herbal contraceptives until Christianity took hold and the Church destroyed many of the types of herbs that were effective in allowing women to control their fertility. Abortion was also possible, but not safe due to unsanitary conditions. A special type of wood was slipped into the cervix and caused an abortion. Some prostitutes did have children. Many abandoned them or committed infanticide. No one really noticed because they prostitutes.
....
wow,lol,i think that they did
but there is not sure way to find out
They figured out the timing, they used sheep intestines, they used primitive douching with various less than savory things, they used abortifactants (something that was drunk that caused miscarriage)
The history channel had a show called "The History of Sex", and yes, they actually had methods of contraception back then. One method included some plant that was so effective, it ended up going extinct because they used it so much.
I have wondered about this myself, although I read the romans had condoms I doubt they would have been cheap enough for your average prostitute, perhaps they knew some brutal method of abortion or something.
it's NOT the oldest job on earth that's one thing, 2 thousands of years ago there was no such thing as contraceptive that idea was created in like the 1980's+. in some cultures long time ago if like the hindu culture men were allowed to marry and have as many wives as they wanted and they were allowed to have girlfriends too some men were allowed to kill the women who weren't their wives. it was against the law for a woman to have a child by herself so the "prosititutes" if they got pregnant they would get killed.
How do you know they didn't have babies? They did have different forms of birth control but they also had a ton of pregnancies.
condoms made of animal inners, existed for centuries

herbal contraception was known, eatting plants prepared in a certain way could prevent or terminate a pregnancy.
herbalists have used these for thousands of years.
Many protitutes may have had children

do a little research on ancient egypt, you may be surprised
There are only 2-3 days a month that you can actually fall pregnant, and the egg itself is only alive for 12 to 24 hours, so the chances of falling pregnant are only high if they worked every day of the month. With the case of temple prostitutes (popular in many of the pagan practises) child sacrifice was the norm, so if they got pregnant I guess the baby would be a nice sacrifice to their god.
They did have children. just like the ones today.
If they contraception, they would do without, just like today. but
they didn't have abortion. If they did. You wouldn't be here. :-})
May be unprotected intercourse with so many partners caused pelvic inflammatory diseases(PID) and that resulted in infertility in most of the cases. It could be possible to have herbal medicines for contraception or abortion. Still in some tribes they use them. But it is a common fact that prostitutes were not very fertile.

Old Wives Tale or Legitimately True?

I once heard that Pregnant women shouldn't clean litter boxes because it can cause birth defects when the baby is born. Now, I personally believe that's just a load of huey used by pregnant women to get out of doing things but just in case, I'm wondering..Is there any truth to that?
Answer:
it is true. There is a disease that a pregnant woman can get by changing a cat litter box. Toxoplasmosis is an infection that can threaten the health of an unborn child. It is caused by a parasite called Toxoplasma gondii. The parasite multiplies in the intestine of cats and is shed in cat feces, mainly into litter boxes and garden soil. You can get the parasite by handling cat litter or soil where there is cat feces. You can also get the parasite from eating undercooked meat (such as rare beef) from animals infected with the parasite.
True
it's true. drs tell us that when we're preggers!
Yes, it's true. I think it may cause toxomplasmosis or something like that.
Yes.

Pregnant women are at a high risk of toxoplasmosis.
It's caused by the protozoan toxoplasma gondii which can be found in cat feces.
So if a pregnant women comes in contact with cat feces that contain toxoplasma gondii they can get toxoplasmosis and give it to their fetus which can cause birth defects.


Go here for more information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/toxoplasmos...
If pregnant you should steer clear of cat droppings. You can get an infection called toxoplasmosis.

There is also a rumor that you can't cuddle up with your cat, that is totally fine but definetly stay away from their waste.
That is true, but dont go crazy about. Just be careful. Wear gloves, make sure the area is cleaned up afterwards, wash your hands etc etc things you shuld be doing while cleaning a cat box anyways. Dont throw the kitty out of the house because you found out you are pregnant, if anything have the man of the house do it, or get one of those automated cleaners. Its easier on your back, and safer.
How Should a Cat Owner Lower the Risk of Toxoplasmosis?

Based on an understanding of the life cycle of T. gondii and the role cats play in disease transmission, the following are general recommendations that cat owners expecting a child can follow:

Wear gloves when working in soil. If gloves are not worn, hands need to be washed thoroughly following soil contact.

Wash all uncooked vegetables thoroughly.

Indoor cats eating only prepackaged food do not acquire toxoplasmosis, and the litter box, therefore, is not a source of infection.

Outdoor cats or indoor cats eating uncooked meat can acquire toxoplasmosis. In this situation, pregnant women should avoid changing the litter or do so only with rubber gloves.

Change the litter on a daily basis.

Do NOT get rid of your cat.

Okk my two friends were like.?

okk so last night i was with my two girl friends and we were like wow i wnat to lose weight blah blah blah and about diets and what not and both of them were like i want to become anorexic but i was like you cant just become it? its a disease i thought but i dont know was it weird to say they want to become it? is that bad? do people like this turn anorexic?
Answer:
You don't become anorexic by will. It is about having control over one's life, and because they do, by controlling their eating habits, they do not realize they have a problem, that is, being anorexic. Also, most women become anorexic because they want to avoid being sexually attractive to males.
I don't think so but people in groups who point out their flaws or belief their of are more likely to point out their own flaws as well. Hope that made sense.
If her body image is truly distroted she will. If she is just glamorizing the idea of being thin, then no.. she will end up getting hungry enough to eat something...

Just be careful she does not get addicted to the ide of losing weight, because that is walking a fine line of distorting body image.
Okay first of all anorexia is a disorder, not a disease. And yes, there is a HUGE difference. No, it is normal to want to loose weight, but it is an issue if a person's eating patterns lessen. I would keep an eye on your friend just in case, but if nothing unusual happens don't think twice about it.
yes they just want to be too thin cus the models are thin..its kills you in the end and i wud defently get sum leaflets and give it to your friends also show them pcitures from google of anoerix ppl (horrible but it wil give thema relal wake up call) anorexia is addictive and is a disorder...once they start they wont stop.they will get very ill abd hurt those around them.you can help ur friend
You need to get them help right away! Consult this website!...
there's a chance that they might become anorexic. it is a disease but not from birth. it usually happens after something tramatic: depression, a bad remark, low self esteem.

most likely they wont turn to anorexia bc its something seriouse not just some stupid way to lose weight. its a body image problem that grows over time.

yes it is dangerous that they said that. im guessing that your smart enough to kno not to start so my advice would be to convince them that that is not the right way to go.

instead of losing weight by dieting y not jsut join a gym together or a dance class. make time for a day in the week where the three of you go for a hike or a run on the beach thats better than dieting or starting an eating disorder.

be healthy and happy!!
Make sure they eat!
Truth be told, there's nothing wrong with being anorexic. Yes, you do become anorexic because it is in fact a disorder.
Being anorexic does help a lot in losing weight, but generally it isn't recommended because a lot of anorexic people are stupid and end up hurting themselves. As long as you eat a small meal after your "throw up", and continue to exercise, you'll lose weight. Just don't go overboard with it.
Though, judging by your message, I recommend you and your friends not to do it, especially when you guys have no understanding of this f'ed up concept. You'll only hurt yourself if you don't know how to do it. Besides, you don't want to be super thin (because guys like girls with meat, and not bones).
If you are still willing to lose weight, do it the honest and most rewarding way: working out at the gym.
yes !you can be so obsessive about lossing weight that you lose control with doing so and you always see your self as fat and can die if you don't get help with this serious eating disorder

Okay...you know when someone has sex, but then they want to become a virgin again...what do they call that??

i already know about secondary virgin, renewed virgin, reborn, etc.

but what is the term that they always teach you in health?
Answer:
There's no such thing as actually becoming a virgin again. You only lose your virginity once. After that, you can become celebate until you want to resume sexual intercourse. But you will never be a virgin again.
its called being celebant or having celebacy
Regret...
retarded
Pipe dream.
Guilt.
ditto on

There's no such thing as actually becoming a virgin again. You only lose your virginity once. After that, you can become celebate until you want to resume sexual intercourse. But you will never be a virgin again.
S.O.L.
Well first off as the other answers pointed out, you can only lose your virginity once. At least physically.

But, I think I know what you mean...

In the eyes of certain religons you can be a "born-again virgin". Which consists of no sex for at LEAST one year and a ceremony performed by a minister or priest.

This is something you would have to discuss with a minister or priest. And it is only to be done if you are very serious. For example if you've already had sex but would like to become a born-again virgin so you can wait until marriage.

Okay, ladies! Tips for losing a "couple" *cough,cough* lbs. anyone?

Ok, I'm 13, 5'6'' and a whoppin' 178 lbs. Ya, I'm chunky. *coughcough*. seriously, though! My legs look like tree trunks and I can't wear a bikini! It's really embarassing! I'm really unfit because even if I try to run around our block with my dog, I get out of breath really quickly! Like I said, it's embarassing.

So I was wondering if anyone had tips for losing some weight because my mom said that if I chose a goal weight and lost x lbs this summer I could get my belly button peirced.

I like Yoga, and I really don't mind excersising a lot, so please, any reccommendations would be good!! Thanks a lot, and I'm like, sorta desperate here, so like, the more quickly answers come, the better!! (Not to seem snotty, or anything.) Thanks again! :D
Answer:
Ask your mom to buy you the book The Diet For Teenagers Only or see if you library has it. I bought if for my daughter when was looking at it and it tells you awesome tips and pointers etc.
Well yoga can tone you up, but to drop the fat you need to do cardio, like running, walking, swimming, jump rope, just move a lot... eat well too... the weight will eventually come offf
you should start jogging extemly slowly with and ipod turned up loudly so you cant hear your own breathing without your dog, cause he can be a distraction. Run to your destination and back without stopping and you'll loose lbs in no time
hmm well am not sure but i think u should try eating a little less and more healthy and like for a week go running like everyday at a track or something and it will help u lose weight
I've lost a lot of weight doing the following:
-cut out ALL pop
-no junk food (you can treat yourself once in a while..but try to stay away from cake, cookies, all of that kinda stuff) =)
-Drink lots of water. Atleast 8 glasses a day. Have a big glass before each meal because it will fill you up a bit.
-Keep calorie intake between 1200-1400
-Exercise..try doing stuff you enjoy with your friends..swimming is great! and just going for walks around your neighbourhood.
-Don't eat white bread..stick to whole wheat bread
-Eat lots of fruits/veggies, low-fat yogurt
-Yoga is great!! do that too. =)

When I went to mexico, I lost 15lbs in two weeks. I was swimming a few hrs each day, it burns a lot of calories and you dont really realize it because its fun! =)
And I would have yogurt/fruit for breakfast...anything for lunch..usually like a hot dog or something and then a salad or something healthy for dinner. The swimming is what really made the weight come off.
most of all, keep a postive attitude. Believe you can lose the weight..and you will.
Good luck! =)
first walking at least 2-3 miles a day with a friend or your mom or just u and your i-pod. then after a week or 2 start to jog little by little. also start to cut out soda, chips, junk food, and eat more and more fruits and veggies. good luck
Try joining Weight Watchers. A lot of it was about following their "points" system when you eat. My mom joined it and then I "borrowed" some of the stuff that she got from it and it really helped me loose weight when I was in high school. On the Weight Watchers system, you will probably loose 1-2 lbs. a week (with the exception of the first week due to water weight). I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but it's healthier to loose weight slowly like that. I'm in college now, so it's harder for me to follow their plan exactly. I learned a lot from it and it helps me when I'm deciding what I'm going to eat in the cafeteria/cook for my meals.
Hope this helps you.
Warneker
You can do it. Definitely have a diet, cut the any fats foods, try to eat 3 good meals a day and in between snacks such as fruits, protein bars, protein milk shake, drink a lot of water. Don't give up when running gets hard. If anything try to get in an aerobics class or dance class or buy a Pilate workout tape. I hope everything goes well. Have a positive and determined self esteem.
The best approach is to lose weight gradually and for good. Yoga offers a good solution to this problem. Yoga tones the body in a uniformed manner, unlike any " weight loss program" which claims to decrease your butts by this much inches and waist by this much, leading to side effects. Yoga can be practiced at any age to keep the body supple.Read experts article.
