| can i still take my blue pills if my period came to stop it? |
[Dec. 19th, 2009|06:20 pm] |
I just recently started on my birth control again after not being able to buy some for around a month.
I'm on my second week, but I skipped a few days on accident. I took one of the pills I skipped last night, and I'm about to take the other one...
But when I was using the restroom a few minutes ago I noticed some pink on the paper.
Is this my period? Is it safe to keep taking them to just prevent it from coming untill the white pills? |

| Is it normal for garlic to burn? |
[Dec. 19th, 2009|04:16 pm] |
I decided to treat my vaginal weirdness/itchiness with a garlic clove, but as soon as I put it inside my vagina, it started to burn. Is this supposed to happen? I took it out, as it didn't feel right at all.
Another question, how do I know which type of plain yoghurt is OK to put inside? I looked in the supermarket today and most of them had no actual ingredients list. I saw one which said plain natural yoghurt, 2% fat, nothing else added. Can I assume it's OK? |

| Pubic Hair |
[Dec. 19th, 2009|10:18 am] |
I have some questions about pubic hair. I just wanted to know if it is normal to have some hair growing out of your vagina, basically it is growing out from the lips area, does everyone have this, or is it just me. If I get waxed, will they remove this hair that is growing out?
I am thinking of getting a brazilian wax through laser removed. Has anyone had this done? Can you tell me about your experience? Can someone tell me about the advantages and disadvantages?
My main reason for wanting to remove the hair is by night fall my crotch area is wet and moist and starts to get a little itchy, the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. I am hoping that by removing the hair, I won't be as wet and it will help my crotch area. Will this help?
Should I get my hair waxed first and then wait 3 to 6 months for the laser procedure? |

| Badly needing to pee - why? |
[Dec. 19th, 2009|02:19 pm] |
|
As well as my recent itchy/sore vagina and clumpy discharge, I've found that in the last week or so, I've been going from needing to pee a little bit to needing to go really bad in a very short time. I'm not usually like this. I was in a bar last night and had to wait in line 10 mins for the bathroom and I really thought I was going to wet myself. It also feels a little strange when I do pee, like a little bit stingy, not outside but inside, as if it were my bladder. I've been tested several times for STDs and infections and the results have all been negative. Not to mention, I haven't seen my boyfriend since August. What could be causing this? Could it perhaps be a UTI or are the symptoms of that different to what I'm experiencing? |

| Depo Provera and antibiotics |
[Dec. 19th, 2009|11:32 am] |
|
I have recently been prescribed a 10 day course of antibiotics. I am aware that antibiotics affect HBC pills, but i forgot to ask about the contraceptive injection. My doctor has a history of not telling me about drug interactions (eg that some anti-epileptic drugs affect HBC) and it just occured to me that I am unsure whether antibiotics change the effectiveness of depo-provera as a contraceptive method. I tried to google it and I could only find anecdotal reports, so any help valued, thanks. |

| Infection or just semen? |
[Dec. 18th, 2009|09:49 pm] |
I have been reading the little things on the side about discharge but I dont really fit all of the symptoms. I have a mildly not quite itchy not quite burning feeling mostly felt a night when I go to sleep. I also have a lot of goo. Its not thick like a paste but not thin, kinda like hair conditioner or semen. the goo itself is off white. Its not chunky I am also noticing a slight smell. Its not fishy but more like sweaty/sex smell?
Im just not sure whats going on, I havent really ever had an issue with my bits. I am on the second pack of birth control pills and I didnt take the placebos. This has just started when as I was taking the pills. I havent ever took pills before. I was on the depo previously with no problems. I havent had a period in over 1 1/2 years. Could the pill be cleaning out my vag? I let my bf ejaculate in me, could it be all the semen coming out?
also I have noticed increase in having to pee. Could adderall cause this? I just started that the same time.
Any insight? Im pretty new so anything could help. I have never had a yeast infection, urine infection or STD. the only thing that has ever happened to me was a swollen glad.
I have only had one sex partner in 2 years. |

| Itchy: discharge or toilet paper reaction? |
[Dec. 18th, 2009|07:22 pm] |

My period ended over a week ago. (If that's relevant) Occasionally, once a month or so, I have a lot of discharge. But most of the time, it's a fairly "normal" amount.
Today while out shopping, I soaked through my panties. My jeans were ever so slightly damp. It was quite a gross and uncomfortable feeling, though. So I went to the restroom and cleaned up (just wiped really well) and then folded up some tissue and put it in my panties til I could get home and change. (I was at Publix - if this matters. Their tissue definitely isn't Angel Soft.)
It was at least 45 minutes before I removed the tissue from my britches. No problems at that time and there was no remaining tissue on my crotch. I still had lots of discharge.
Now about 1.5 hours since removing the tissue - my labia (near my clit) is insanely ITCHY.
Yes, I scratched it.
I thought maybe because my pubes are growing back (I do a bald shave on my labia) maybe it was just prickly and stabbing [more] senstive skin due to excess moisture and became irritated. So I shaved it back down - which I needed to do anyway.
After I did that, I noticed about 3 small bumps - welt like. Just tiny little welts. Could this just be an irritation from the tissue or maybe i'm getting a yeast infection?
After writing this all out, my vagina has calmed down and is no longer itching. For now.
What gives? |

My girlfriend's period is extremely heavy, she usualy goes threw a box of tampons and is in so much pain....I know period's differ and they can be heavy and light but is this much normal? She goes threw a tampon like every 3 hours.
Thanks |

Hey everyone! Happy Friday!
Here is my question...
This is my first month on Nuva Ring and so far it's been good. Technically my 3 weeks are over tomorrow. I've read on here and on other sites that some women leave their ring in for 4 weeks so they quickly become on a 5 week cycle.
My question is if I forget to take it out tomorrow (Saturday) and take it out Sunday instead will I have thrown myself completely off or will everything be fine, I may have cramps tomorrow and from now on Sunday will be my day-o-ring in/out?
Thanks!
p.s. I don't plan on doing this every month to screw myself up... tomorrow is a big day and I'd rather not run around with my period. Plus, Sunday is an easier day to remember for me than Saturday.... so we're really only talking about leaving it in longer this one time. |

| Change in Luteal Phase |
[Dec. 18th, 2009|08:51 am] |
Per here, I was scheduled to have Day 1 of my period coincide with my cross-country holiday flight.
The good news: that is not happening, at least not to the full extent of the awful that I had feared.
The less good news: my period is here now.
While this could mean that I've misread my fertility signs, I really don't think this is the case. Cervical fluid, cervical position, and waking temps all pointed to ovulation on December 7.
Adding this to my other recent cycles, it's looking like I now have a very consistent 11 day luteal phase. That's not abnormal in itself, but it's a not-small shift from the very consistent 15 day luteal phase I had about 4 years ago, before I started on hormonal birth control.
I'm not concerned about the shorter luteal phase; in fact, since it lessens the duration of my PMS experience, I am all for it. I am, however, curious as to what may have caused such a substantial reduction in my luteal phase. The two factors that seem most obvious to me are time/age and HBC use, but I don't know if there's any evidence that these can actually affect luteal phases.
Thoughts? |
