ok...so you're telling me that she can have a full period and still be pregnant??? i thought that once a girl started her period she wasnt pregnant. i was going to do a pregnancy test in about 2 and a half weeks if she hadnt had her period yet...but if she can have one and still be pregnant then dang, i need to do one anyway i guess oh...and if she gets her period, does this mean there is a better chance of her not being pregnant or does that not matter? like...if she has one they does that mean she most likely isnt? it's probably a stupid question but im trying to learn all i can all at once here...

its not my triceps, the area im talking about is if you lay your hand flat on the table with the palm up. so that your elbow only bends upward. it's that part of my elbow, just where my biceps start. and i was doing it all right, we have machines here at my school. and bicep machines arent really hard to figure out. i just pushed myself really really hard because i want these results so badly

Also, im in a pretty serious situation...if anyone has any idea about "Plan B" emergency contreception...i have a post under "pregnancy". i would love to hear from you. Thanks

alright, i have a crazy situation here. i am 18 years old, im 6'1 and i only weigh 135 pounds. so im a really skinny guy. ive recently started working out to try to gain some mass and some muscle. i bought a protein powder (BSN True-Mass) and i started my workout last Saturday. after my workout, i drank the protein mix and everything was fine. when i woke up sunday, my arms were kind of sore like i expected them to be. but because of unforeseen circumstances i was not able to work out sunday or monday. so i worked out again yesterday. but to my surprise, my arms (my elbow region just at the bottom of my biscep) were still a little sore. i didnt think much of this because im really out of shape and i just thought it was from that. so i lifted like crazy yesterday. i got a shower right after my workout and i could barely lift my arms to wash my hair my arms were so tired. i drank my mix and it was fine.... now today, my arms arent just uncomfortable...the HURT! i cant extend my arms all the way. lifting even the smallest of things is difficult. ive never felt this before. and it's all right at my elbow right at the bottom of my biceps. is this from the protein powder or did i over-do it or what? ive worked out that hard before with no complications...what's up?

i know there is a post in here about how i shouldnt be concerned about any pains or cramps she has. but i cant just be satisfied with just that so i figured id ask you people... she said she's been having off and on stomach pains lately and one day it got a little more intense than the other days. (couple days ago). is this something i should be concerned about or is this typical of Plan B? i just figured i'd ask on here since there are people who have taken Plan B before and have experienced all that, and then there are some of you that have had babies so you've been through that experience...this is the only place i can get personal testimony on stuff like this...

when is the earliest we can do an effective pregnancy test? someone in this post said to do it in 3 weeks from monday. so as of right now that's my plan...do you all agree this would be best? if not when do you feel is the earliest time?

yea, i checked the age of consent and in ohio it's 18. i was reading this thing just now that said without any medication or anything, only 8 in 100 even get pregnant when they had unprotected sex. normal contraception pills bring that chance down to 2 out of 100. and progestin-only contraception pills, such as Plan B brings that down to 1 out of 100. chances are small but it still worries me that there is a chance at all

oh...sorry...yea, we kind of discussed what we would do if she is pregnant. but really, we dont know. that's so much to try to comprehend and the thought of it overwhelms us. but we have kind of talked about what we would do and all that. if she is pregnant, we also talked about what we would do about it physically. we pretty much came to the quick mutual conclusion that she would have an abortion. so really, it's not a matter of whether or not we have a child at the end of this, its more about the people around us like our parents and how it will effect our relationship. here's how i see it, if she is pregnant and actually has an abortion, her mom and aunt (her guardians) will never be the same towards me. they love me and im great with them, but her mom is really against abortions and we've gotten the sex talk from her several times. so the relationship with her parents will be over, my parents wouldnt look at her the same either. and all in all i dont think we could ever be like we are now relationship wise. after something this dramatic and damaging, i just dont think we could be the happy/laughing/loving couple that we are now...i'd love for us to be but i just think things would change because of it all...it'll hurt a lot of people besides just us, it'll hurt a whole lot of people. we were stupid and made a mistake, i just wish we could have a second chance...

ok...so are there any like, little signs or hints or tips or anything that we could notice now? any little thing that may point one way or the other? im sorry again but i cant calm myself down. im a little better today than i was yesterday but waiting 3 weeks to find out if my life is ruined or spared is just a little heavy on my mind right now... i appreciate all of you that havnt gotten frustrated with me or gotten annoyed...im just scared is all

i went to link removed and it says it's only 89% effective, but the sooner you take it the better it works. she took it about 30 minutes after this 'oops'. so we took it about as fast as you possibly can without having it ready from the beginning. but then i kept doing research about it and i found this site that said Plan B wasnt even 89% effective. it said that 89% is OPTIMISIC. i just dont know what to think. i cant get my mind off of it. she doesnt have her period for another 2-3 weeks. i dont know if i can wait that long to have her start and be relieved

thanks sophie, im trying real hard not to freak out but i just keep thinking about all of what's going to be ruined if she is pregnant. i'll most likely not finish college, if she goes she might not finish, we're both financialy strained, our images with the other's families will be ruined, all trust in us will be gone...just everything...im too young, i made a big mistake and i realize now how stupid i have been...im trying not to stess out, but i can make the prediction i might very well be like this until she starts her period

i read the post on down the line about Plan B which is what we used. i do have one little problem though... my girlfriend is anemic and she has irregular periods. her periods can start at way different times. sometimes her periods start say, on the 25th, then the next month will start around the 6th. so it's tough to determine if she's late on her cycle or what. if we take a pregnacy test, when should we do it? because ive read all over here about take it a week after you miss your regular period date. also...are you SURE this pill works? im sorry to keep nagging but i am so scared you have no idea. this wont only hurt us but it will destroy the people around us too...im just really really scared is all. i just need some comfort.

ironically enough she starts BC after her next period. this all happened just a few weeks too early. and i will still wear a condom even though she's on BC. but after this scare we've agreed to not have sex for a long long time. this just hits so close to home cause our friend that is our age is pregnant and we've seen how it has destroyed her life. she's dropped out of college and is living in this appartment with a boyfriend who doesnt have a job and it's just a mess when in the beginning she had it all going for her. we really love eachother and to save our futures and our relationship we can sacrafice sex for a little while

we dont have sex very often at all. maybe once every 3 weeks or so, if that. im in college and she's back home so we dont really see eachother enough to have sex as regularly as we used to. this is the SECOND condom to do this to me. the first time though i got really lucky. i didnt orgasm and pulled out for a breather and realized my condom was all bunched up and torn away. this always scared me so bad because of what would have happened had i came in her. today when i pulled out and saw it had happened again but this time i did orgasm, my heart just dropped...

i couldnt be any more scared. i am 18 and my GF is 17. we had sex today and it was all alright until i pulled out after orgasm. the condom had torn at the top and was all bunched down at the bottom of my penis. i came inside of her and we both freaked out. we rushed instantly out of my house to go to the local health department. lucky for us, the health department was closed, like it always is. so we rushed then to meijer where their pharmacy was open. i bought "Plan B" and a coke. she went right to the bathroom of meijer and took the first pill. she said she had stuff coming out of her vagina, which i assume was my semen. the total time it took us to get the pill from when this happened was literly less than 40 minutes. it may have even been around 1 half hour. she takes the second pill at 4 in the morning tomorrow. i'm so scared, ive thrown up already and im shaking and it's hard to type. both of our lives are going to be crushed if this fails. is there any good news any of you can suggest? has Plan B worked for you? Did we act fast enough? Did we act TOO fast??? (also, is it true that it's easier to get preg. right after your period? ive heard it's the least likely time to get pregnant and it's easier the closer you are till your period. anyone have any comments on this?) thank you

thank you thank you thank you! where would i be without this site and you people??? seriously!

i have a post on here on down about my huge acne problem. well, my Proactiv Solution came today and although it has like, 500 booklets with it and papers, none of it actually says how to use the stuff... there are 4 bottles. i have the Revitalizing Toner, Renweing Cleanser, the Repairing Lotion and the Refining Mask. in what order do i use these? and how? do i just wash my face with them or put them on and leave them on? i have no idea. ive been reading for 20 minutes about stuff that has nothing to do with how to use this stuff...any help would be appreciated

well with any test you do on averages and such, you're going to have the typical ones that dont fall according to the rest. that's what people call "outliers". there's always going to be a few here and there that are like the little 2 incher and the freakish 12 inches, but typically people dont have these sizes

yea, i was surprised to see 1-2 a week too. my GF can take care of 1-2 times in a day or two as long as nothing out of the ordinary happens...

haha, i know exactly what you mean. right when i first heard this i was real cautious about shaking people's hands and having my hands laying close to other guys'. but i figured since i had to go through this thought and fear of other guys' hands, why not share it with the world? lol, if my girlfriend wanted to test this theory with me out of the blue, i dont think i would object, because i would just have to make up a test for her too...just, play it by ear is all.

thank all of you who have commented on this. and i apologize if i said anything offending earlier. its just i was so excited to get to college and make a new name for myself and be a new me, that when this happened it more than disapointed me. and since it hasnt gone away and things have gone the way they have i have just felt really low the past few weeks. i know if my face clears i will be so much more confident about myself. i have done a lot of maturing and some of my shyness has left me, so im ready to try new things and see where i can go being the new me. and this acne explosion has ruined any confidence in me and i just feel so left out since things have gone the complete oposite direction. i again thank all of you who have posted in response to this matter. i recently found out today that the proactiv i have coming was shipped with a different service. so instead of 2-3 weeks it should be here tomorrow. i'll post back updates once i get it and try it for a few weeks or so. im sure it'll be ok eventually, but until then i'll just have to make due the best i can and carry myself with as much confidence i have, no matter how little i have.

ive just come to the conclusion that there must not be a god. what kind of god would let one of his creations feel so terrible and do nothing to help? sure sounds like a god i want to worship and devote my life to....

i wanted to go to a dermatoligist but i would have to have leprosy before my mom would call them. i heard proactiv is supposed to work, but if it desnt either im gonna turn gay and wear make-up or we're going to the doctor no matter what

im a first year college student and up until i came here i really didnt have any acne what so ever. i thought i just got lucky to not have the acne on my face and all this like a lot of other people i knew. but then i came to college and my face exploded. (breaking out is the biggest understatment of my life). it's disgusting. it hurts to lay down sometimes, my whole face is bright red with dots, i have big areas where it's so bad it just turned black, and i have woken up at night with blood on my pillow from my face just randomly bleeding. it's so terribly disgusting. it has completely shot all confidence i once had. i have no friends here in college and ive been here for 3.5 months. i have not one single friend. i eat alone, i walk alone, i study alone. after class i come back to my room and sit onthe computer...all by myself. this is the reason i even have an account on enotalone. i found this place once because i dont have anything else to do any nobody to hang out with or laugh with except you people. yesterday i was on the elavator with 4 girls. just before we got to the bottom one busted out laughing and buried her face in the sholder of her friend. i looked over and her friend was looking at me through the top of her eyes and holding back a laugh. as soon as i looked she looked away. we got off at the same floor and they went the same was as i had to go. they kept sneaking looks behind their sholder to see if i was there so they could talk about it. cause the one friend asked "what's funny?" and the otehr just shook her head like "shut up"....i know they were laughing at my face, IT REALLY IS THAT GROSE! my mom ordered me proactiv on sunday and i was really really excited about it. i came here and ive been checking my mailbox every single day about 50 times a day. but it hasnt come yet and i desperatly want it to come. i got up last night at 4am on accident. i got up, slipped on my flip flops and ran downstairs to check my mail again. KNOWING mail doesnt come any later than say 7pm. im so desperate, i get so depressed and sad whenever i open my mailbox and it's empty. i passed the UPS man earlier when i got back from class and he had like, 20 boxes on this cart. so i gave them 30 minutes incase i had one since they need to fill out little slips and put them in your box if you have a package. i ran down all excited and it was still empty. i honestly almost teared up i was so disapointed. i have no confidence, no friends, and i just want to go home and cry. ive never felt so terrible in my life. im so depressed and saddened. i checked the proactiv website today and it said "2-3 weeks" for delivery. i about lost it right then and there. i was expecting it by today at the latest. now it might be another 2 weeks. i cant handle it. and i'll keep checking my mailbox no matter what. even if it is 2-3am on a sunday...i'll be checking...
