I’ve been having headaches/migraines for about 10 years(26 years old now). The frequency of them vary from anywhere between once every few months to twice a week. I’ve gone to several doctors and neurologists and have tried all sorts of migraine medications with not much success. I have not had any tests run such as an MRI or CATSCAN. I have kept a journal to try to find what may trigger these: food, lack of sleep, stress, caffeine, menstral cycle, etc. I have noticed that the symptoms are almost always the same. I normally wake up with them. I have no sensitivity to light, however I’m very sensitive to sound. The pain is always in my left eye brow, my left eye, behind my left eye, and bone of my left eye socket, and the top of both the bottom and top of my teeth (only on my left side). I also get nauseaus and vomit with them. I am planning on going to a dentist now because I am thinking now that it may be TMJ. I have been diagnosed with PCOS and anovulation. At first I thought it may be related to hormonal imbalances. Any suggestions I would greatly appreciate.

Hello I am 19 years old I had sexual relationship with my boyfriend about 8 days ago it was not that safe because first we started without a comdon but then he put it on. Next day, I took the plan b pill the morning after and I want my period to come because I have been very very nervous. I can not sleep or think of anything else than that. My period is supposedly going to come in may 24 or 25 but I heard that provera can make my period come faster and sooner is that true? provera 10mg for ten days?

Plan B is one of the most effective methods of emergency contraceptive. That you are also on provera makes pregnancy even less likely.

Hey, I am cunrrently on the contraceptive implant and for complicated reasons I cannot get it removed. However I want to get pregnant, is there any way I can boost my chances to get pregnant?

The cervical mucosa becomes more friable during pregnancy and tends to bleed easier because of increased blood circulation. Sex can irritate the mucosa and rupture blood vessels. Even if you suspect it to be benign, you should still be evaluated by your obstetrician with a physical exam as bleeding could be a sign of . . . → Read More: I am 29 weeks pregnant and me and my husband had intercourse yesterday. after I noticed the slightest hint of blood when i wiped.
