I had an IUD fitted in April 2006 and told to have it removed/replaced in April 2011. Is it still safe (is the IUD still effective) all the way up until April 2011 (including the month before it gets removed) or will it stop being effective a month or two before the date it is due to be taken out?

I saw my doctor a few days ago and she said I had a full-blown bladder infection that was so bad, if I'd let it go on any longer without seeking treatment I would have needed hospital treatment. She did all the usual stuff, felt my sides and my back, and my abdomen and asked if they hurt. She took a sample of my urine. She gave me a 10 day course of bactrim to take in conjunction with another tablet called Pyridium to ease the symptoms. I have been taking this antibiotic for 3 days now and it stopped my urine from smelling bad, and I'm no longer uncomfortable when I urinate (my urine is orange because of the red Pyridium tablet I'm taking to make my urine more alkaline, and the doctor warned me it would turn that color). I'm scared because my sides and back are now aching and I'm sure that's a sign of a kidney infection, in which case I heard the Bactrim wouldnt work. Can the doctor tell instantly whether its a UTI or if its a kidney infection from just dipping a dipstick into my urine? How did she know it was only a bladder infection and not a kidney infection? If I had a kidney infection, would I have more symptoms than my sides aching and would my urine contain blood and have a strong odor? Would I be needing to urinate non stop with a kidney infection? Surely since i have been taking medication, that should have STOPPED me from having a kidney infection. It cleared up my other symptoms. But I also really wanna know if it's possible the doctor could tell that i didnt have a kidney infection just by the results of putting the dipstick into my urine.

My first symptoms started once I'd gotten out of the shower and had just used a deodorant soap for the first time. (A few days prior to this, the doctor had put antibiotics in my ears, but I don't think that that could cause a problem down there, but I have heard antibiotics are the cause of yeast infections). I started with a bad itch and was very sore around my vulva. Then my urethra started to burn, and whenever sex finished I would urinate and my pee would burn and the burning and soreness would take several hours to go away, but the burning would mainly be felt after sex. It also looks like I may have a tiny cut or two down there. My urine smells bad sometimes, and ok others, and is dark orange in colour (maybe from dehydration?). I am not experiencing the need to urinate more often than usual, and the itching and soreness has now practically gone, but it was present when this all started about a week ago. These symptoms also started around the time of my period, but I heard if it was a yeast infection, the period would cure it. People keep insisting that its a yeast infection and therefore i should use monistat, but if its not a yeast infection, monistat will make me worse. I cant afford to see a doctor and just dont want to take monistat til i know for sure what it is. Could I have both a urinary infection AND a yeast infection? People say if its a yeast infection the itching will be chronic and non stop, but i only had that symptom for the first couple of days and now it's more just the smell of my urine being bad, the dark colour and really bad burning after sex. Should I just start using the monistat to begin with and then go to the doctor if that doesnt work and my symptoms get worse?

My friend just married a U.S. citizen and they are in the process of filing for her adjustment of status. She had her immigration medical exam today, and must return to the doctor in a couple of days to confirm the results of her TB shot. How will she know if she passed her immigration medical exam? Will they tell her when she goes in on Monday for her follow-up appointment? If not, then how is she supposed to find out, considering that she will get a sealed envelope containing the results which she is not allowed to open? Is it generally implied that if she is given the sealed envelope, and that her doctor said they found no problems with her results, that she passed the medical?

Any help appreciated, as she is really confused.

I have a huge fear of throwing up, and have a 10 hour flight to endure from London to LA and am so worried of getting sick on the plane. I have had this fear of being sick all my life, and the only other plane flight I have been on only lasted an hour and 30 minutes and even that was enough to make me feel nauseous. I saw my doctor who prescribed me with diazepam and an anti-sickness drug called stemetil. I dont know just how effective stemetil is, and nor do I know how much dosage of diazepam i should take for the flight-10 or 20mg? Also I plan not to sleep the night before the flight so that I will fall asleep faster on the plane. Has anyone else got a huge fear of vomiting and also had to go from london to Los angeles? and if anyone has ever taken stemetil for a flight, please tell me how effective it is. Thanks.

How do I stop everyone on my facebook from posting on my wall? Some new privacy settings have just been introduced and if you go into privacy settings>profile there is an Allow friends to post on my wall option, and next to it is a checked box next to "Friends can post on my wall". Will it actually work if i uncheck the box, and then will no one be able to comment on anything, including my status updates? I cant put it to the test right now. I just dont want anyone able to comment on ANYTHING or posting anything on the wall whether it be comments on my status updates or my photos or just posting on my wall with a message. I just want to know if anyone has unchecked this option and if it worked and completely stopped any kind of wall posts.

1) Has anyone had a typhoid vaccination, and if so, did you suffer any side affects from it?

2) Has anyone travelled to egypt without having this vaccination?

My man is far from the cheating type, and has very strong morals, but I'm not always with him when he is drunk.Lately there has been alot of insecurity on my side of the relationship and it's really causing problems. Can men control themselves when drunk and actually NOT cheat? And to the men: Does your woman trust you to go out with friends (both male and female friends) and not do anything with other women?

I am an overwhelmingly emotional person. My feelings are so up and down, I'm extremely sensitive, I worry so easily, I'm insecure, i constantly need reassurance and it all manifests itself in my moods. And all throughout my life it has harmed every relationship I have ever had. I get upset so easily over trivial things and overreact and am very negative, and now it's jeopardising my relationship unless i can find a way to change it, cause my bf is finding it all so draining to have to constantly be reassuring me about things which make me upset that shouldnt. i need to try and make my mindframe into a more positive way of thinking. my emotions just always manage to get the better of me and i dont know how to keep them under wraps and stop them from affecting not only me, but everyone else who knows me. i need an outlet for my emotions or a way to tame them. please can anyone suggest things that will help or ways of managing my emotions, or ways to achieve a more positive mindframe? thanks

My bf and I have been together for 6 months, and since the beginning of the relationship he has been a private person. For that very reason, he left his relationship status blank this whole time (however, when I first got together with him it was set to “single” and when I asked him to remove that, he did) as have I. He finds it juvenile and unnecessary. Secondly, whenever out in public, I usually have to make the first move in holding his hand or some PDA and he will eventually respond and put his arm around me (in private he is much more affectionate) and he tells me he’s just always on his guard when in public as you never know what’s around the corner, and it usually takes him being drunk to make him feel at ease. Secondly, he is selective about the people he thinks should know about our relationship-he has to think that they are good-natured and trustworthy and will be mature about it. All this stuff makes me feel so hidden, but he has been this way since the beginning and here is some stuff he said when I told him about it:

“I just don’t like people knowing y private stuff (hence why its called private) plus im always tense when in public and don’t drop my guard, whether alone or with people. I don’t like people knowing about me, who im with, etc..cause even though we both may have went to school with people or have them on facebook, I don’t really classify them as my real friends. Why do you feel the need to go round parading the fact that you’re in a relationship to everyone you know? It’s a turnoff. If a girl comes up to me and asks if im single, I tell her no, I have a gf, and if she asks your name I will tell her. Why cant you just be happy with the fact you’re with someone loyal and caring and have some faith in me instead of scrutinizing my integrity all the time and thinking im doing something bad. You have to trust me. Other people getting involved can cause a lot of harm to relationships which is why I always say I want it more between just you and me and its more special that way. And I said I don’t parade it, if someone asks, then I tell them I have a bf, but I don’t blab about the details of it, but why cant I say the name of the person im with. And he said “that’s not so bad but it depends who it is, cause a lot of our mutual friends aren’t our true friends. I prefer people who will say “nice one” as opposed to people who will call me and give me the 5th degree and spread word to all their cronies. My uni friends know cause they are good natured, whereas a lot of the people we both went to school with are just in it for the gossip and I don’t even see them anymore.

My bf and I have been together for 6 months now, and he is a very private person. He and I have both always kept our relationships status on facebook blank (when we first got together, his said "single" and when I asked him to, he took the single off of his status, and now neither of us show any relationship status). From the very beginning, he has always said facebook relationship status means nothing and is bs, and people just do it to show off, and that made me feel insecure, but he asked why I should i need a relationship status on a social networking site as proof of really being in a relationship? He has never liked the idea of other people nosing into his private business when it's none of their concern, and of course cause it can cause drama. he isnt good friends with everyone on his facebook, and therefore would prefer i not go around telling any random associate about our relationship, but only those who we'd both class as close friends. He says his uni friends know he has a gf, but that he only tells people he has a gf if they ask. he thinks its more special having it just between us, but it hurt me when he told me not to go telling certain people (who dont know us very well) about our relationship. Anyway, he has been this way from day one. I remember him getting very annoyed when i told my brother about our relationship problems, and then all my brothers friends tried to get involved too, and my bf prefers us just to keep it between us and work things out by ourselve's, without the input of others, and that he doesnt want certain people gossiping about us as if its THEIR business. It makes me feel like im not his gf though, cause he wont budge on the facebook thing and nor does he like me to tell some people about us, and prefers only a few people know. anyone ever been with a private guy such as this, or is this ok and could it be a good thing that he tries to keep our relationship sacred only to us? I think it's more that he keeps our relationship private than secret, since a girl from his uni sent her friend to tell him that she liked him, but he told her "sorry, i have a gf"-so therefore thats not keeping it a secret, just that he isnt the type who parades a relationship around to show off about it. If someone asks if he is single or has a gf, he tells them so, but he would never discuss our relationship with others cause he feels that causes more drama and it should only be between us, that its part of keeping a relationship sacred, rather than blabbing to others about us. I know my bf admitted at the beginning of the relationship that he can go without sex for months (since he lives for his work) and he his far from being the womanising type. Actually he's quite self conscious and insecure in social situations, and i know that as he is soo busy with his masters at uni, that his time is precious and i know he wouldnt waste it on me if i meant nothing to him, and nor does he have time to be chatting to other women. its just not him. And he makes an effort to do things for me-he went to see the mj movie me a few days ago, even though he knew he'd hate it, but he did it for me! Wouldnt do that if just using me. And he got so annoyed when i once blabbed about our relationship to a school friend we both know, and he really wasnt pleased and told me all that is between us. So please people, some optimistic answers that arent all "he is cheating on you" etc.

Thanks, just wanna know how compatible we are based on the information I have here.

i usually have to make the first move in public to get a resonse from him, like i will take his hand first and then he'll hold it, or after a while he will put his arm around me, but i have to be patient, but he seems more comfortable showing intimacy in private.

My bf has no idea what time he was born and nor does his mother, so without that, is there ANY possible way of discovering what his ascendant is?

Judging by our birth charts, please tell me how compatible me and my bf are:
