peace of mind---pregnant?

[misssockpuppet.livejournal.com]

i hate to be the one posting the AM I PREGNANT thing, but anxiety is eating me alive and i'm unable to sleep and its 1 am.

basically, i took my first placebo saturday. i am sexually active and take levora birth control and my boyfriend is unable to cum around me, and never even comes close. when he pulls out, hes usually hard still. i consider us perfect users of the withdrawl method.

anywho, im convincing myself my tummy is getting larger and that the pound or two that ive gained is absolutely due to a baby...when i know that isnt true.
the tummy thing wont happen for a while, i know, but who knows if i got pregnant earlier. but i did have a period last month. im crazy.

anyway, basically, what are my chances?
and, since im bloated, thats probably due to my period coming, right? when do you know its a pregnant belly?

thank you, sorry for the nonsense.

creamy white vag discharge

[crystl-falcn.livejournal.com]

i'm new. and i was recommended to this site. i have a question about discharge. i recently noticed a creamy white vag discharge. it's wasn't thick or runny. and it didn't have an odor. it wasn't sticky like it usually is when i ovulate. nor am i hurting or itching like ppl have said a yeast infection would cause. my SIL says their is a possibility i could be pregnant. but me and my husband on had unprotected sex twice. both while i was on my period. although my period came late last month. we still did it unprotected. i was looking online. and ALOT of sites say an early sign of pregnancy is this kind of discharge right before your expected period. my period is supposed to come thursday.

has anyone heard of this? or experienced this?

any advice or information can really give me peace of mind. i'm freaking out bc my husband is out to sea. and we're newlyweds. even though i said i want a baby right away. this 'scare' actually freaked me the hell out. plus i've been bloated and tired alot lately. i figured it was stress from him being out to sea. but since this happened. i'm wondering if i could be pregnant

Period and the Pill

[leaveittoweaver.livejournal.com]

This is a potentially stupid question but I'm just wondering. I understand that the period you get while on the pill is not really a period, it's just withdrawl from the hormones. Does this mean, that the period you get on the pill is really no indication of whether or not your pregnant? 

Thanks :)

UTI, BC + Periods.

[illutible.livejournal.com]

Hello VP'ers!

For the past week or so I've had symptoms of a UTI, I've had one before and drinking lots of fluids seemed to flush it out of my system. But that's not working this time, so I got something over the counter called Cystopurin, and just when I thought it was helping, the next time I went to the toilet I found blood-tinted discharge in my pants, so I thought there was blood in my urine or something and worried a little more. But a few hours later when I went again, there was A LOT of bright red blood in my pants! For a moment I freaked out, but remembered I'd missed two BC pills in a row and this must be the outcome. But I only came off my period 6 days ago and now I'm on it again? I haven't had this happen to me before, my period is like clockwork and missing pills has never affected me in any way. I've now had this bleeding for two days, it's pretty heavy and I'm getting cramps as if I would on my usual period. When I pass water it smells very strong but I wouldn't say it's a dark colour. Is any of this normal? Should I go to the doctors?

Thanks in advance :)

Boric Acid Question!

[astrocutiepie.livejournal.com]

Hi! I've been a long lurker of this community, but just joined LJ to ask this question and hopefully answer some in the future! Anyways, I was trying to order boric acid online and I can't seem to find any specifications as to concentration anywhere or just 100% :( Can anyone suggest an online order? I hope you guys can help! Thanks so much!

Smelly Urine

[tabby-renee.livejournal.com]

I posted a while back about having some sort of 'onion-y' smell coming when I pee. I went to the doctor, and found out I had chlamydia from an ex. (Got that all covered - I've got only a few more days of pills to take).

I have drank about 2.5 bottles of water today (little, I guess, but  more than usual lol) and the smell is as strong as ever.

It's kind of embarrassing.

Any other ideas what it could be?

Birth Control + Sex Drive + Emotional?

[dryicemenagerie.livejournal.com]

I've been on the pill for the better part of 3 years now. I am in my second serious relationship since I started the bc. I have a very high sex drive and I want to have sex all the time, often times even more so than my significant other. In my first relationship whenever I brought up sex and my partner wasn't in the mood, I would get kind of upset. I am an emotional person to begin with, but I noticed that when I'm on the pill I am a lot more emotional than during the times I've been without it. When I was denied sex I would feel really hurt and sometimes cry, which is ridiculous because I still get sex on a pretty regular basis and when I'm turned down it makes me want it even more. But it would often result in me silently being in a bad mood, or we would begin to argue. It is my first month back on the pill since about May since I am in a relationship again, and I am experiencing some of the same extreme frustrations due to being denied sex.

I know that I am being crazy when I get so upset about this. I mean, it just seems so silly. My mind and my emotions are in two completely different places. So I guess I'm wondering if it's the birth control that is causing me to be so extremely emotional about this issue? Are there other forms of bc besides the pill that don't cause such an increase in emotion? Also, I've read that bc usually decreases the sex drive, but is there any possibility that it could be raising mine?

This has been an issue in more than one relationship now, so I thought I'd try to seek out some advice. Thanks.

Question...

[cherrybabe21.livejournal.com]

losing weight?

[misssockpuppet.livejournal.com]

okay, well this has alot to do with self-image, and i thought that this community could help.
firstly, i am a big girl. i weigh about 200 pounds and i am 5'5" and 19 years old. i'm not unhealthy, just big, but most of it is on my chest. anyway, i have a very loving boyfriend who LOVES how i look, but my constant jealousy is pushing me to lose weight.
i've tried weight watchers before, and succeeded, but tried it twice afterwards and failed because of the struggle to do it at college.
i'm starting to think i have a severe addiction to food.
most of my desire to lose weight is because of my jealousy of girls. my boyfriend is completely trustworthy and loves me to pieces, but he has the skinniest, prettiest friends.
some days i wake up embracing my curves. i probably would love my body if scales didnt exist. but seeing 200 pounds the other day scared me. scared me enough that i cried at the doctors office.
now i know everyone will say "dont weigh yourself" but its become an obsession. i started at 160, promised i wouldnt hit 170, then 180, then 190, and i SWORE, FOREVER i would never hit 200...and look where i am.
i also have very heavy periods and get yeast infections alot which make me insecure sexually and make me feel very...well...un-sexy.

basically, im looking for any help with these fluctuating feelings. i dont have the motivation to try to lose weight and goddamnit, i love food. but i want to love myself. do you think its an outer problem or inner? i just dont know if my jealousy would get better if i lost weight.
i just need some guidance, i feel terrible and worthless right now.
