Can doubling up on birth control pills stop your period?
So two weeks ago I accidentally missed my birth control twice and it caused me to start my period. I've now been on my period for two weeks and it's quite annoying. If I doubled up on my pills would that cause my period to stop?
3 AnswersWomen's Health5 years agoIs it possible I had/still have scabies?
So about 5 months ago I noticed itching on my scalp and neck mostly but also noticed some itching on my inner thighs. I originally thought it could be scabies because I was itching all over but then went to the doctor and she said I had lice. She didn't have much explanation on why I was itching on my thighs and I kinda assumed I was itching there just because I was worried about it and it was probably just psychological. It probably took me a good month or two to for sure get rid of the lice. I just got a call from my mom today that she for sure has scabies. She recently got medicine for it and she said little black dots came out so she is for sure it was scabies. I'm away at college right now and I came home during the time I had lice to see my doctor so there's a possibility I had scabies and I gave it to her. From my research though I've read scabies doesn't die on their own and only get worse if not treated for. I haven't had any itching at all since I've been treated for lice so if I still had scabies I feel as if I would know because of the itching.
My mom's theory is that the lice medicine I used (malathion) could of cured my scabies too. I only used it on my head and neck, but she said it's possible while taking a shower I could of got some on my legs which would of killed the scabies. I feel as if that's unlikely though since I didn't directly put the malathion on my body.
Please help, I fear if I still have them I could be contagious still.

1 AnswerBiology7 years agoHow could I pay for mental inpatient treatment?
I've been struggling with an eating disorder and borderline personality disorder for awhile now. I've been in outpatient for awhile but it's not enough. Im constantly suicidal and obsessed with suicide. I'm always looking up ways to do it and reading up on it. I believe I am a threat. What stops me from doing it is the hurt I know it would cause my family. So which is why i want to get help. The problem is my family has no health insurance and inpatient treatments are so expensive. My family is very poor right now and I usually pay for my counseling on my own. What can I do? Could I get health insurance on my own that would pay for it? I'm 18. I have a job but I only get paid about 250 biweekly. I thought maybe I could get a loan but I have no credit. Any suggestions?
1 AnswerMental Health8 years agoQuestion about the drug LSD, am I closed minded or is this not normal?
So I know some people who have done acid, and all the people I know who have done it think very...differently. I'm not judging at all because everyone is open to their own beliefs. But I have a friend who has completely changed since she has done it. She says I'm closed minded and she is finally "enlightened" with her surroundings if you will. For example, she thinks things like the government is always watching us and is one step behind us. That's not very bizarre, but some of the boys she hangs out with who have done it frequently think things like blue eyed people are good, and brown eyed people are evil. My friend also once said to me, completely sober "What if this is all fake right now, what if this is all an illusion?" and was being completely serious. I knew a guy who did it who talked to me last night who wanted me to put "energy" into a lottery ticket, and when I kind of laughed at the fact, he told me I wasn't taking it seriously. Also, when I began to tell them my beliefs on God and religion, they all told me that I was brainwashed and my mind needed to expand. Basically, the only way for my mind to expand is to do acid. Honestly, my opinion is I think it's a bunch of bullshit and those kind of drugs have made them act that way, and the drug has brainwashed them. My question is is this normal to feel like this after doing LSD? I'm not judging people on what they believe it just seems kind of crazy too me, almost like they need mental help. Does LSD do that to everyone? Because everyone I have talked to who has done it thinks this very same way and bizarre thoughts.

1 AnswerMedia & Journalism1 decade agoDo you ever get over your first love,and if not, is it still supposed to hurt after all this time?
Long story short, I fell in love two years ago. We were together for ten months, and he broke my heart. all of last year he played me, told me he liked me one day and the next day telling me I was ugly. This was a year ago. We haven't talked since last school year, and he has a girlfriend who he apparently is in love with. I should be totally over him, but I find myself still day dreaming about him and crying over him? It was two years ago! I should be over him. He was the first guy I fell in love with, so maybe I won't ever get over him, but should it still hurt like this, or is something wrong with me? Because I can't live like this anymore. I recently had a boyfriend who was nothing but good for me but I broke up with him because I simply didn't like him,I feel like my heart wont let me like or love anyone else because I compare everyone I go out with too him. it's so pathetic because it has been this long, and he obviously is over me. this just sucks so bad.Someone, help!
3 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoMy boyfriend has no game, PLEASE HELP.?
Okay,so I have a boyfriend and we have been going out for almost a month now. I dont know if I should stay with him. He makes me laugh and everything, and I can tell he likes me a lot, but theres just a lot of things I dont like about him. It will take me forever to name all them. But the most important one is how he treats me like I'm more of a friend than a girlfriend. Like yeah he kisses me after school, and I can tell he's trying, but hes not succeeding. Basically, he has NO game, what so ever. Like he doesn't know how to talk to a girl. He hasn't had a lot of girlfriends, and I understand that, but still. I mean I like him, but this is getting in the way. I don't know what I should do? I mean he doesn't make any moves, it took him forever just to ask me out. I want a guy that knows what hes doing, ya know? So how do you think I could help him into being a better boyfriend? Or should I just forget about it and break up with him?PLEASE HELP.

1 AnswerSingles & Dating1 decade agoDoes smoking marijuana cause missed periods?
Okay, I'm fifteen and I have had my period since I was ten years old and they have NEVER been late. but I have recently missed two. I'm a virgin so I don't think I would be pregnant. I'm not under a lot of stress and I'm not extremely skinny. I have probably gained some weight in the past two months but not like a whole bunch. My sister told me that its probably because ive been smoking weed? I smoke probably every weekend, sometimes more, but I don't do it everyday. Does anyone know if this is what is causing it or if its something else?
9 AnswersWomen's Health1 decade agoadvice for starting high school?(read inside.)?
well, I'm mainly scared everyone will hate me. ha.
I have a group of friends, and I do have a lot of people who like me in my age group. what I'm mainly scared about is the upperclasmen. Theres a group of popular sophmores who don't like me, because of a big long story but mostly because I don't know how to keep my mouth shut. So when I went to summer school they would always walk by me and say ugly b*tch and all that stuff. I'm just scared that they'll get a lot of people not to like me? I mean I don't care if some people don't, because I do have a lot of friends, I'm just scared of the upperclassmen. And I'm pretty sure I have a bad rep, since like some of the girls I hang out with party and have sex and stuff, so people think I do too, when I'm a virgin and really havnt done anything pass making out.So do you have any tips to get people to like me, and see the real me? And any tips for not letting the mean comments get to me? I'm just so scared. Please help!

Okay I just got done reading After by Amy Efaw, and I loved it! sooo goood. (:
Right now, I'm in kind of the mest up teen phase. I like other subjects too, but really that's just the mood I have been in awhile.

OH, and I like books that have I mean a little love interest in it, but I don't want it to be whats the whole books about, ya know? I kinda like the anti-love stuff, you know, about dealing with breaking up and stuff. So suggestions would be great! thanks. :D
books that I have read that are already in this subject:
crank
glass
the lovely bones
impulse
go ask alice
a child called it
the lost boy
a man named dave
living dead girl

8 AnswersBooks & Authors1 decade agoDo you think it's true that you'll always love your first love?
I fell in love last year. I honestly thought we were going to be together forever and get married and have kids together, we actually talked about this. (which is weird, because we were both thirteen.) Everything was fine until summer, we just started fighting and never saw each other so we took a break. I didn't hear from him till the end of summer, when we both didn't feel the spark anymore. I mean we still loved each other, but like the passion wasn't there, ya know? So regardless of that, we went back out. It lasted for about 3 days. We decided to just be friends after that, but honestly that didn't work out. We got in bitter fights with each other and said some pretty harsh stuff to each other some weeks, and then other weeks we talked about going back out and how much we still loved each other. It really wasn't healthy for me, I was like his back up girl, the girl he knew he could get but he didn't really want, and I was so naive that I would always go back to him. I finally grew up and said no. And lately he has been trying to get back with me, and it takes everything in me to say no. But after everything, I still love him. Not like I used too, but I'm not 100% over him. and let me tell you that we have been broken up since August. I have someone new in my life, who I like very much. But why do I think more about my ex then I do about the new guy? Why do I still find myself tearing up at love songs? Why must I always try a way to talk to him? I just don't know. But honestly I'm asking, will I always have something for him and I just have to learn and deal with it? Or will I forget about him some day?
1 AnswerSingles & Dating1 decade agoI need Book recommendations?
Okay here are all of the science fiction books I have read,
All of the twilight series.
The host.
All of the house of nights.
And here are the other books,
Go ask Alice
Impulse
Crank
Glass
True color (or something like that,it was about a girl who cut herself.)
Living Dead girl(a good book,but I'm still creeped out by it.)
Thirteen Reasons why
The Big Love
A child Called it
The Lost Boy
A man Named Dave
Those are the ones I can think of on the top of my head. I like some of the science fiction stuff,but not like to far out there, I don't like harry potter. I like books about screwed up teens and stuff. (I'm 14.) I'm really don't like books that are all about people falling in love,like don't get me wrong I love the romance stuff but I'm in to mystery and adventure and stuff. I really like stories about teenagers life and stuff,so suggestions?
