  • Birth Control Question?

    I got the implanon birth control inserted April 2011. The only major changes/side effects I had in the first year were irregular periods & weight gain/loss. Also my arm would get tingly sometimes. I at first got my period at random times, sometimes twice a month, with it lasting 2-3 days or 2-3 weeks. After about 6 months, I wouldn't get my period at all or once every 3 or more months, lasting 2 days to 2 or 3 weeks. (I got my period once, maybe twice this year, I can't remember when, but they lasted about 2 weeks.)

    With my weight, I'd lost about 20 pounds in the first 6 months I believe, then since then, I would gain and lose 10 pounds, which is no biggie. I'd actually just lost ten pounds recently. Perfect timing for Christmas!

    A new side effect I'd noticed since maybe 2 or 3 months ago is that I am SUPER super tired. I could fall asleep at 10pm & not wake up until (the latest) noon the next day. It seems that no matter how much or how little sleep I get, I am always tired. I do know that I am anemic, and that it could be what's causing it, but I've been having anemia issues for years and I've never felt this sleepy. I haven't gone to my doctor on this yet because of it being Christmas and all, but I do plan on seeing her. I just wanted to see if any others were having sleepiness issues as well.

    Was curious too, I can't find it anywhere on google: what exactly happens to our eggs while on implanon? Since I'm not getting a period but once a year, are they just building up until my body just finally releases them? I plan on asking my doc that too.

  • What kind of oil should I get for my high mileage 2000 Toyota Echo?

    I've got a 2000 Toyota Echo (It's a 4cyl 1.5L) & it's due for an oil change. I checked the manual & all but the car's got a few miles short of 150-thousand miles & I was just wondering if I should still use the oil it says to use or something better, because I drive just over a thousand miles a month.

  • Which phone would you recommend?

    Blackberry Curve 3G 9330, Blackberry Storm 2 9550, or LG Vortex...again I'm stumped. I'm big on texting & facebook...I love "words with friends", & am constantly taking pictures/videos. I'm upgrading my phone, & can't really decide on which to choose.

  • Looking for a good song?

    What's a good song where a couple (male/female) has feelings for each other, are close/best friends, but are too shy to admit their feelings to each other? Or they say that they feel that chemistry towards each other. Any genre will do :) Thanks

  • LG cell phones: Vortex vs Citrus?

    I'm thinking of upgrading my (Verizon) phone & I like the Citrus & Vortex, but the reviews are scaring me away. I, like everyone else, am checking up on Facebook all day, so quick access & easy viewing is a plus. I'm also a 300+ a day texter...haha so I'd like a full keyboard or touch screen. I don't really play music, but it'd be nice. I also take tons of pics/video. & does either have games where I can play with friends? Like "Words with Friends" or something?

  • Why can't I enter a yahoo chat room?

    I haven't gone into a chat room in years...but I've used messenger recently & I have the latest version. When I go to enter a room, I have the little window for the whole room, but there's only me and a "Messenger Chat Admin" & that's it. I heard that I'm supposed to wait for a captcha code, but how long am I supposed to wait?!? This is ridiculous :( I understand it's for security but sheesh!

  • What's a cute, simple style for thick, curly hair?

    Ok. I have really thick, really curly hair. It looks pretty much like this: http://www.girlswithcurls.com/pictures/amyyasbeck.... but with tighter curls on a good day OR if I use products. But if I'm not careful, or if I don't add enough time & hair products into it (which I don't really like) I'll look like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kathleen-andersen/204... ..except I would be frustrated, not napping haha. So. Anyway. As of now, my hair is medium-long, as it's been forever, but I would really like it short/shorter, but if I get it too short, I'll look like Macy Gray...no thanks lol. I just don't like going through this process all the time with my long hair trying to get the curls just right without adding too much crap to it. Any suggestions to a shorter, less difficult style for my hair? Thanks :D

  • Verizon wireless account & "My Verizon" password?

    Is the password for logging onto the verizon website the same as the password for paying my account? Like if I payed over the phone, and they ask for a password, is it the same as the one I use to sign into "My Verizon" online?

  • Is it "bad" that he doesn't say my name?

    I've been with my guy for 5 years now, but he hardly ever says my name. He always calls me by my pet-name/nickname, (Monkey haha) which I don't really mind, but obviously, it's nothing close to my name. I call him by his name & also nickname, & I brought it up before that he never says my name & asked why but he never really answered, but for a while after, he'd use my real name, but then he'd go back to "Monkey". Is this bad, or is there some kind of reason for it? Is it a guy thing...I'm just wondering, 'cause ya know, I'd like for him to say my name maybe once a day :/

  • How private are notes on facebook?

    I wrote a note on my fb within the "notes" section, and I customized the privacy so that only certain people can see it & I blocked a couple people as well, but after I posted the note, it said on my wall that I wrote a new note. Will everyone on my friends list see the post, or can only the ones that I selected view it? & will the blocked people see that I wrote the note? or does it not update on their wall?

  • A question on flying with an infant?

    If I were to fly with my 9 month old, would it be better to hold him, or buy him a seat? If I choose to hold him, would I be able to bring his car seat as luggage that goes underneath the plane? (I can't think of the word...haha). Also, what paperwork would I need for him? (Social Security Card, Birth Certificate, etc) I'm checking with the airline but this is a bit faster. :)

  • I need help reinstalling my multimedia audio controller?

    I've tried everything I can find, and nothing has helped. I don't know what kind of computer I have (it was free from a school). It just says "Tech 21" on the front...I've never heard of it. Anyway, my "mac" was uninstalled and now there's no information on what it is or what type. I've done the system reboot thing, I've tried downloads, and nothing's helped. I also know that there's an Intel Pentium 4 sticker on the front, Windows XP Pro is installed, but that's all I know. Pretty much now, when I turn on the comp, the install wizard starts but it says it needs software to install and there's this long list but I don't know which brand to accept. Can anyone dumb it all down for me :) lol (I've been trying to fix this for days...it's getting frustrating)

  • I'm having some trouble with a shark steam mop?

    I just bought a Shark Steam Mop (S3101) and it won't turn on. We've plugged it in and filled it with water but no luck. It did make a puff kind of noise on two different times we plugged it in but it doesn't steam at all. The water flows to the pad but that's about it. Also we can feel it heating up after a while but still, no steam :(

  • Is it safe to take/drink taurine while breastfeeding?

    I may have allergies, and I was told that maybe taurine could help because it helped that person. I'm breastfeeding my 1 1/2 month old though, so before I take or drink anything I'd like to make sure it's safe. I'm just curious before I see my doctor. :)

  • Cashing a check question?

    My cousin asked me to cash a check for her from her work, with my bank account. It's dated 9.25.09, and it's already signed. Can I cash it without her? or just deposit it. My main worry is that it's a fake or stolen check. What if it's been cancelled from her job and I try to cash it? What would happen to me? ...I'm sure I sound like an idiot, but I just want to be safe :)
