Yes, I am sexually active.
Last month I didn't get my period. So when I was a week and a couple days late I took two test's both came out negative. I have been on birth control for 2years now. In June and July I was missing 2 and 3pills each week and I know for fact they can screw up your period, So I'd be taking them 7hours later than the time I was supose to take them. I was not trying to have a baby, I was doing summer school in college for credits, and working as well. so I would forget or not bring them with me or even fall asleep from being tired. This month I took the pills on time nothing missed. I always get cramps the week before and I have them until my period ends. Today the usual cramping but no blood?? I'm not quite late yet because its only 8:50am on a wednesday, and sometimes I even start bleeding later in the day. I am always 100% on either tuesday or wednesday. Similar experiences?
Also I am going to note that I do have "Endometriosis" but it has never caused issues before.
Also I tried calling another gyno office in my office but they don't give out medical information?View Thread
One, what age does a womans body stop maturing?
Two, does being sexually active make your hips bigger?
Three, What are some foods that I can eat to obtain more caloric intake?
Facts:
I am 19, and still a virgin..and, I guess one would say, well endowed with curves, but I would like to be curvier. I currently weigh 155lbs, but the catch is that I have a very fast metabolism (fast isn't the right word for it) I heard that the typical female body stops developing at 19, but I have noticed that my breasts have gotten bigger is this all dependent on the person and body type? Thank youView Thread
I have had a persistent burning in and around my vagina for the last three months. It is accompanied by a clear watery discharge, at times can be stretchy, but its ALOT. I can see small bubbles in it at times. It is on going burning sensation and it does not stop. My regular doctor kept telling me that everything looked normal and kept giving me diflucan saying i may have yeast on the outside of my vagina. I finally got so uncomfortable that i asked to see an OBGYN.
My obgyn has done two cultures and they both came back positive for Strep B. I have head STD checks and urinalysis they are all normal. Hes given me a round of clindamycin and two rounds of flagyl. He told me to use Domboro soultion on a wash cloth to use as a compress, to ease the burning. None of this has helped one bit. Im now on day 7 out of day 14 of boric acid suppositories, it has not helped at all.
I am so upset, nothing is helping. Its coming up on four months of this constant burning. It hurts to walk, I cant have sex with my fiance anymore because it is unbearable. I cant take this anymore. When I was having sex, we were using condoms (after learning of the positive strep culture), just incase we are passing it back and forth. Is that a likely scenerio? Although if we are using condoms, we wouldn't be passing it back and forth now..so it should have gone away already!!
Why wont it go away? What can i do or take? Im worried that something is seriously wrong with me, because my immune system isn't fixing this? HELP!! View Thread
More recently I've been missing periods. I've gone 50+ days without a period twice now in the last six months. I've gained a ton of weight without any change in my diet. Matter of fact I'm eating LESS and being very strict about fat content, calories, sugar, etc...and also trying to stay active. My hair is falling out, I have horrific acne on my face, and am getting very depressed about this whole situation. I have done multiple pregnancy tests thinking that may be it. However, my boyfriend has had a vasectomy and every preg test I take is negative. Every time. I have a history of diabetes in my family and did develop gestational diabetes with my son, who is 8 years old. I just read a few articles about PCOS and was wondering if this could possibly be what is going on? I have no health insurance and beginning to get very nervous and really scared. Anybody who can offer any advice I would deeply appreciate any feedback. Thank you.View Thread
I'm on day 35 and no pe
riod. I have all the symptoms of being pregnant, which is also a side effect from prometrium. Tests say no. Could it be a larger cyst, the ones that rupture? I've had those a lot in the past but I thought I was always supposed to have a period on prometrium.
What's the latest my period should start after prometrium?View Thread

And 10 days before my period was suppose to start for this month May 26th . I had light Reddish/Pinkish blood found in my underwear.Lasted one day did not last the whole day.
Now on the day of my actual period I went to the bathroom and when I wiped there was red blood. so I assume ok I am starting so I put a pad on. Through out the day though I had no cramps nothing it felt like I was not even on my period. At the end of the day when I went to check my period there was nothing on the pad and when I wiped to see if there was blood, there was only dry dark brown blood hardly any. Today the same thing no bleeding only that dry dark brown blood and a little of it on my pad.
If any one knows what the heck this could be I would appreciate input thanks!!View Thread
