i have read it is normal to miss periods after surgery.i had a c-section 3 months ago.i had 1 menstrual cycle after than no more.anybody else experience this? thanksBody after c-section?
Well, surgery, yeah, but also giving birth will stop your periods, particularly if you are breastfeeding the baby. It's called "lactational amenorrhea", and is nature's way of trying not to let Mom get pregnant while baby is still relying on her for everything.
It's not 100% effective as a contraceptive, so use a backup.
it is normal to miss it for two months a sfar as going three months i would see a doctor this is being answered by a father of two c section babys as well as a emt good luck
I have had 2 c-sections with my first born I didnt get a period for the first 6 months with my second I got my period about 2 months after having her.
It should be normal considering the menstrual cycle does chnage after the birth of a child...i had a csection myself but havent experienced this...try birth control and it should help regulate it ive been taking birth control for 5 or 6 years now and it helps tremendously even my periods are shortened length lasting only 4 days:)
It took my body 6mon. to get back to it's original cycles. Just give time and if it dont get better call your OB doctor.

Body after c-section?
Blood test question?
How accurate are the results when testing blood for pregnancyBlood test question?
Very accurate. It counts the number of molecules of HCG.
100%
Very accurate. They are better then urine but just to be sure i would get both a urine and blood test to be sure.
The results are very highly accurate in what they are testing for, which is the pregnancy hormone.
The only other thing I know of that can produce that hormone is an ovarian cyst.
False negatives are more common than false positives, but if you have a positive result odds are high you are pregnant.
Bloating: PMS or pregnancy?
I'm a little late for my period (not quite sure how many days as not charting or anything), and my stomach is huge! I've never been this bloated before. I've also been a little nauseous, had acne, stuffy nose, very tired, vivid dreams, twinges in abdomen etc. Did other women experience massive bloating early on in pregnancy? Many thanks!Bloating: PMS or pregnancy?
The best way to determine if you're pregnant or not is by taking a pregnancy test. With that being said, the symptoms you describe can also be attributed to your period or PMS. I find that if I am stressed out, not eating well or excercising my period symptoms are more extreme.
with only few days overdue the stomach wud not be huge it is only after 4-5 months that give rise to enlarged abdoman.
Simply carry out a preg test by urine exam at home by do it urself kit . It is very simple. The blaoting may be due to gases.
You are probably pregnant...
Take a test...
If YOU are saying it could be pregnancy... then it probably is...

Good Luck!!
Hope if you are then you are happy...
If not... ADOPTION NOT ABORTION!!

pms definitely
Bleeding while on birth control?
i'm havein a bit of a problem. i'm bleading down there, lightly, it hurts and its not my period. i've been on sesonal ( birth control where you get a period after three months) i've been talking it for about 9 to 12 weeks. it has nothing to do with sex, since i'm a vergin, and its not anything like a hyman either. can anyone tell me why i'm bleeding, i still have another month and a half before i get my period.Bleeding while on birth control?
That is completely normal with Seasonale. I know from experience. It can take up to a year for your body to regulate to this pill. Most people it only takes 3 months. Don't worry about it unless the bleeding becomes very heavy or lasts for more than 7 days.
I myself was in your situation...firstly you have to be sure that you did not lift weighs or something like that in the last days...if it's not the case, go to see a doctor...I had a small wound and this was the cause of my bleeding...take care!
This sounds like it might be related to the Seasonale itself. I know that when I saw an ad for the product on tv one time the company even said that spotting, bleeding was a common side effect of this medication. I've heard from a lot of women that took it that had a ton of problems taking the Seasonale.
To be on the safe side though I would check with the dr to make sure that there isn't an infection or something else going on there.
Bleeding in between periods?
i had my period 2 weeks ago...last week i started lightly bleeding for a few days and then it went away. then today i just started lightly bleeding again.
i'm a virgin so it's not pregnancy or anything.
is this normal?Bleeding in between periods?
I've had stuff like that before. It's quite normal, especially if you haven't been getting periods for very long or are on any hormone pills or injections. Don't worry!
many things can cause your periods to wack out. '
some being diet, and stress. it will probably go back to normal in a bit. i know u dont wanna hear this, but if it doesnt then you gotta go to the gyno.
Bleeding breast....please help!?
is there anybody here who knows somebody with the same experience? before i went out of the country two years ago my moms breasts is bleeding like when you are breastfeeding a baby that the milk automatically comes out of your breast. my mom is in her early 50's and her breast is bleeding occationally for a couple of years. she's afraid to go to the doctor and we don't know what's wrong with her. and sometimes she feels pain on her breast. i told her before to see the doctor and now it's all the same and i'm away from home. i keep on telling her to see the doctor. what do you think it is? and what's the casue? i want to know please help?Bleeding breast....please help!?
It probably is breast cancer, esp if there are lumps or breast indentations. A clinical diagnosis and various diagnostic methods needs to be done ASAP. The key here is timing. If you catch it early, if it is cancer, prognosis is better than not doing anything at all. See your doctor NOW! Good luck...
CANCER!!! GO TO THE DOCTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She needs to see the doc ASAP. This sounds serious but without being a doc no one can say for sure what it is. Was her last mammogram ok? If her mammogram was ok then hopefully it is nothing serious but if her last mammogram was not ok or she didn't get one done then it may be more serious.
look it up on google, that's what i always do before i go to the doctors, but she should really go to the doctors!
the longer she waits the worse it will ge, see a doctor now, it might be cancer but they can save her life, my mother waited too long and died a horrid death, stop hiding from reality.
I've never known anyone to have bleeding from their breast but yes, your mom needs to see a dr about this to try and figure out what is going on to rule out different things.
Bleeding after sex?
i just had sex like 2 hours ago and its not the time i had sex with this guy but this time when i went to pee i was bleeding but not a period kind of bleeding please helpBleeding after sex?
i think it's normal, it happen to me also for about my 10 first sex. after that it's not happen anymore.
Are you close to your period? Was the sex rough? There are many reasons for this. You may have a small tear. If you are concerned, see a gyn for treatment. Don't wait until the symptoms disappear. Call and make an appointment to rule out any damage.
Damn was he wearing protection, sounds kinda fishy. Maybe you need go to the doc to make sure your okay. That's if your having pain later.
is ok
R u having umprotected/rough sex? Is ur bf Long Dong Silver? R u using enough lubrication? R u over the age of 45?
Bleeding 5 days after sex?
5 days ago (Valentines Day) I lost my virginity and I didn't bleed so much.
Ever since yesterday It started stinging a bit in my area and I had to use the restroom at the same time and it burned and I bled a bit. It also happend all this morning like 5 times. It's freaking me out and im pretty sure he doesn't have anything so I dont think I caught something from him. Maybe he ripped it? He is a bit over average so that's what I think happend.Bleeding 5 days after sex?
go see you OB/GYNO... you should have done that anyway as soon as possible after becoming sexually active. they can give you an RX for the pill and make sure your ok and healthy down there.
It's most likley nothing. but you are better safe than sorry.
and it's all private and confidential.
U must visit to a doctor...
Go to the doctor asap!
Could be a number of things, infection or splitting. Did he wear a condom? You could be allergic to the latex, but i dont think that would make you bleed that much. Some bleeding is normal for your first time, but not 5 days after the fact.
You should have gone to the doctor after the second day!
Go... now! It could lead to bigger problems if you dont!
u need to c a doctor mostly a women doctor.
Are you a teen..did you take protection and now what are you waiting for, go see a doctor..
Blatter infection and the doctors?
i think i have a blatter infection and i need to go to the doctors but i wanted to know if anyone whos had a blatter infection went to the doctors and what kind of examination they gaveBlatter infection and the doctors?
You just have to pee in a cup.
dont think about what they are going to do just think about what could happen if you dont go to the doctor
pee in a cup and voila you have one or you don't if you don't prob a pap test.....
They probably will just ask you to urinate into a cup in the bathroom and send it out to a lab for tests and then give you an antibiotic if you have an infection.
They will make you pee in a cup. They may press on your abdomen and ask you if it hurts. They will ask you questions about your symtoms. If you have a bladder infection, they will give you antibiotics.
all they have you do is pee in a bottle and they test it and tell you if you have one, they will ask about any other symptoms and maybe feel around you bladder and check your kidneys, but that's it..no big deal, trust me I've had lots of them
Bit puzzled?
My period normally last for 5 days but lately it's like 2 days noticable bleeding and 2/3 pink /red discharge i'm not yet 40 and think it's too soon to be the menopause any one else had anything like this going to the doc next week just testing the water to see if it's normal.Bit puzzled?
This could be the onset of early menopause,I would not worry about this but look on it as a blessing, who wants a long and heavy period anyway,if you are worried contact the nurse at your GP who can do a simple test to check hormone levels and they will also be able to tell you if you are in early stages of the menopause which you could be at 40
Get a hormone check done, I went through the menopause in my 40's so it could be that, but it could just as easily be caused by stress.
Can be normal more worrying if the period lasts longer or they are irregular. Sometimes if you haven't ovulated(produced an egg in a cycle the period can be lighter. Hormone tests aren't terribly helpful if you are still having your peiods because you must still have sufficuent oestrogen kicking around and since the blood tests check for FSH(follicle stimulating hormone) which rises when no oestrogen is around likely to be normal.
think you need your hormone levels checked, mind you in saying that it all depends on how long you have been experiencing these problems - if its say just a couple of cycles it might just be a wee upset in your hormone levels etc but always wise to get it checked out, good luck.
My mother actually went through menopause in her 40's - I would see your doctor and talk about it.
BirthControl Pills?
I'm being put on Lo-estrin 24.
Have you taking this one before? did you like it.?
I was on Yasimne for 5 years. I have been off of it since November. I will be starting the new one on the sunday after my next monthly. I just want to know if you liked lo-estrin and/or what kind of side effects it had on you..
thanksBirthControl Pills?
I loved being on loestrin. I've had problems with birth control making me gain weight, and I was finally able to lose weight on this one. I had no noticable side effects, so I think it's great. Hope this helps!
how old are you?I wanna get on it but i'm only 13.How do you do it.if you can will you email me at mommys_lil_goody2shoes@yahoo.c... or DanniDevil011 at aim or Dannie011 at myspace
Birth Control?
Ive been on birth control for a while and recently had to go to my provider to get more, the orginal birth control i was on was Trycyclon lo and they gave me trycyclon which is more hormones .....does this mean I have to wait a whole month to have sex, like I did when I first got on Birth Control?Birth Control?
i don't think you have to but to be sure call tour doctor or the pharmacist. Or you can make your man wear a condom.
no waiting, have sex right away, call me
not unless you miss a day, then you have to wait a couple weeks, or use a condom. well...you should use one anyway, just incase you're worried!
You were on the same birth control pill just a low dose now this one is a little high dose but that doesn't mean that you will have to wait.It will work just fine from day one.No need to worry at all just trust your doctor.
no
Birth Control?
I just started the Loestrin 24 birth control pill the day of my period. Usually my period is 5-7 days long, but now I'm on my 9th day and it doesn't seem to be letting up any. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it because of the pill?Birth Control?
I just started a different kind of birth control as you, but I am in the same boat. Its totally normal. I'm on day 12 of my period, and the doctor said it would last up to 28 days, at which point your period will be starting again. If you feel like you need to talk to someone about it, i would talk to your doctor. They're very helpful with it. However, it is normal to have hormonal changes when starting birth control. Your body is just not used to the changes in the hormone levels yet, and the extensive length of time you're on your period is just your bodies way of trying to adjust. I wish you the best of luck, and my e-mail is not hidden if you have anymore questions. I wont hesitate to help.
I took Seasonale and bled for the 30 days that I took it. I switched brands and the bleeding stopped immediately. If it doesn't stop talk to you doctor.
Birth Control?
Hello All, Can someone please tell me if there is a contracetive out there without all the crazy side effects???Birth Control?
Barrier methods (condom/diaphragm/foam/gel) have fewer side effects than hormonal BC (pill, depo shot, nuva-ring), but they are generally less effective that the hormonal methods.
There is always a trade-off with BC, and the only 100% sure method is abstinence.
Wish I had better news. Maybe explore non-intercourse forms of pleasure?
No,nothing really.They just give you antibiotics and then,****
Ortho tri cyclin low is pretty good. The only side effect I notice is that sometimes I experience minor break through bleeding before my period. But that's it.
well most woman dont ever experience any crazy side effect. mostly gaining or lossing weight. im on depo and i love it! plus you dont have to worry about forgeting you daily pills or ugly patches.
Kariva (pill) NO side affects whatsoever.
I went on Kariva because Depo was horrible. Depo for four years and had horrendous side affects (weight gain, mood swings, spotting at odd times). Plus every five years you need a bone density check since it screws up your bone health.
Birth Control?
Is there any type of birth control that doesn't make you fat and doesn't screw with your hormones?Birth Control?
Condoms, womens condoms, diapram, spemicide
All pills and patches and shots will mess with the hormones
Yes, condoms.
Hey, Better you avoid intercourse...
There are so many different kinds of pills out there now. Just go to your gyno and say that you want to feel the least amount of side effects as possible. Your doctor is experienced with these kinds of things, and will be able to suggest a good pill for you.
Also remember it will take a lot of trial and error, as every body will react differently. I tried about two different kinds of pills before I settled on one I liked.
Condoms are effective, but you should definitley be double-protected. If anything, to keep your mind at ease.
nope, they all alter something.
Birth Control?
Can anyone tell me about the uva ring ??, Or the birth control ring ,, i am starting it next week ?Birth Control?
i love the nuva ring. because the release of hormones is constant and steady there are less side effects. you just put it in on the first day of your cycle, and remove it 3 weeks later. leave it out for 7 days, then start over with a new one. (if you go to the website you can download a program to remind you when to take it out and put a new one in.) it stays in pretty good, but if something happens and it comes out, you can just rinse it off and stick it back in. (don't let it stay out more than 3 hours) you will need a back up method of birth control the first 7 days (you will probably be bleeding anyway), but after that you are protected.
One of my girlfriends uses it and she says its great. It's supposed to insert just like a tampon and you leave it there, I think she said a week or so before your period and then you take it out, have your period and shove a new one back in.
Well this ring that you speak of is a little smaller than the ring around a diaphragm or a female condom. It is a clear plastic like the ring around the female condom besides it being smaller it contains hormones. It is also inserted the same way as a diaphragm or a female condom. Nonetheless it is easier to insert because of its size.
It is inserted into the area in front of the cervix and beyond the vaginal canal.
Birth control?
what all is involved? do you gain weight? etc...Birth control?
Non-hormonal versions (i.e., barrier methods) don't introduce chemicals into the body that might cause side effects. However, you can still have an allergic reaction to some types of materials (latex condoms, for example.
Hormonal methods are as individual as the person using them. Some women have bad experiences, others don't. The nice thing about most methods is that if you don't like what's going on, it's easy enough to change. The pill has literally dozens of variants. Other methods, such as the ring have very low doses because the hormones are being introduced directly into the area of the body where it's needed.
The best thing you can do is talk to you doctor about your options and possible risks. He or she can fully discuss all the side effects and what might need to happen if you have a bad reaction.
There are many different forms of birth control available. My best advice is to make an appointment with your dr or at a clinic and they can discuss the options you have, and what will work best for you.
Depends on what you're thinking of taking. You have lots of choices from the pill to the ring. There are also surgical procedures that can be done too. But really it just depends on what you are considering. Make sure to ask your doctor about side effects and results of the certain birth control.
Birth control?
only for people who know a lot about birth control methods, i am on the patch now and it works good but i have high blood perssure cuz of it, i want to change methods, i am thinking about swithing to copper T IUD, progestasert IUD, intrauterine system aka IUS, or the essure permanent birth control system, i am only 21 or i would have the suygery done but i have to be 23, me and my husbad dotn want anymore children we have 2, can i get one of these done at my age and which is the best one to do?Birth control?
I have 5 kids and do not want any more. I went to my doctor for the Essure procedure but he talked me out of it. He suggested the Mirena IUD..........and so far I have been very pleased with it. All you need to have the IUD placed is to have at least one child. I would not get anything permanent at your age. I had 3 kids by the time I was 20 and thought I was done. When I turned 30 I wanted more. I would highly recommend the Mirena!!
The patch can cause heart attack and strokes i won't recommend that IUD is really good i one an had No problems with it the pills made me sick You can wear a IUD as long as you want it doesn't hurt Planned parent hood has them or you can just go to you own doctor
You can have an IUD put in, I would use Merina, I did not like it, but a lot of people do. You can def. do that at your age, I had one put in and removed last year and I am almost 23. What is the essure birth control method. I know a lot about bc but I have never heard of it.
Birth control: do you make an appointment with the doctor or nurse?
when discussing and asking for a perscription for bc pills or shotsBirth control: do you make an appointment with the doctor or nurse?
You make an appt. with the doctor.
to ur gynec.
You have to contact a doctor because in order to have those drugs you will be required to have a vaginal exam.
Most general practitioners will refer you to a gynecologist for a thorough gynecological exam before prescribing birth control pills. This exam will help determine which type of birth control is best for you, your body and your lifestyle.
You need to make an appt. with your Ob/Gyn doctor. He will ask you all kinds of question and from there he will know what will be the right pills are for you!
Birth Control/Period???
I am on birth control,,,Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo. There are 4 stages,,,light blue, medium blue, dark blue, then green for when you are on your period. I am on the green ones right now,,,and have not started my period this month however I spotted a whole bunch last week while on the dark blue ones. Is that considered my period??? Can you sometimes start your period before the actual green pills? I'm so confused,,,never happened before! Please explain what is going on with my body!!!Birth Control/Period???
You should get a period during the green pills, as these are the inactive ones. What you probably experienced was breakthrough bleeding, which is a common side effect of the pill, Also, if you have been on the pill for 3 months or less, you will experience period irregularities until your body gets used to the hormones. If 3 months go by and your cycles don't become regular, you will need to go back to your doctor as it's possible a hormonal imbalance has occurred, and you will need to change pills or the dosage.
i would suggest going to your doc, explain, and change your pill, god how confusing! i take one pill a day every day thats it!
no blue
green
purple
orange
pink crap! 1 pill a day!
Your body usually needs a pill pack or two before getting your period on the correct week. When I started my pill pack I was a little off.
