I've had sex - if I tell the doctor I haven't, will it make a difference?

Q.   My mums putting me on the pill soon seen as I'm neary 16 and I've been with my boyfriend 2years. The thing is, we've already had sex a few times. So if the doctor asked me if I was already "sexually active" and I lied and said no because my mum was ...

A.   4 February 2010: Best to be up front with your doctor about these things. It may well affect the directions he gives you about starting the Pill. Your mother does not need to accompany you in to the doctor's office even though you are under 16. Ask her to wait in ... (read in full...)

Q.   I cannot trust or look at my best friend of 6 years the same way again after she lied about not loosing her virginity to her boyfreind of less than 1 month and they have had an on and off relationship throughout that month. The day prior to her ...

A.   28 January 2010: What are you pissed about? Because she did something that you disapprove of? Or because she wasn't honest with you about her intentions? Either way, I don't think it's worth losing a solid friendship over. You don't have to agree on everythi... (read in full...)

A.   28 January 2010: I think she's enjoying the single life too much to want to settle down with one boyfriend. Or it's a polite way of telling you she doesn't want you as a boyfriend Either way, I wouldn't expect a relationship from this lass... (read in full...)

Q.   I need a boys to ask me on this question. Here`s the thing; I`m little bit scared of doing blow job. Actually, I`m not absolutely sure that I want to do it, but also, I don`t have aversion or anything like that. Would my boyfriend blame me, or would...

A.   28 January 2010: You don't have to give him a blow job. You shouldn't have to do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. If he loves you and is a nice caring understanding kind of guy with your best interests at heart - he will not blame you or hold it against ... (read in full...)

A.   28 January 2010: Any idea what you find so distasteful about it? Are you worried that it will smell or taste bad? Or are you worried that you'll choke or gag? Or just that you'll do it wrong? FatherlyAdvice gives you some good advice, especially about the porn m... (read in full...)

Q.   Can high blood pressure medication change someone's personality? When my boyfriend doesn't takes his, he is awful! His combative personality almost destroyed our relationship early on, then his doctor switched his BP meds and magically he mellowed ...

A.   28 January 2010: I think you need to speak to a pharmacist about this one. It's not something I've heard anybody mention before. There are lots of different medications that are used to reduce high blood presuure. One group of drugs are called beta-blockers (their ... (read in full...)

Have any of you ladies out there been pregnant while on an SSRI (anti-depressant)?

Q.   Hello everyone - I am hoping some of the folks here can give me some good advice. I am in my mid thirties and my husband is in his early forties. We have a great relationship and are like best friends. Of course, there is a problem or I wouldn't ...

A.   27 January 2010: LonelyTwo gives good advice - this is a question for a pharmacist & OBGYN. As far as I know, fluoxetine (prozac) does not harm a developing fetus but the baby may experience some withdrawal effects after birth. (I am not sure exactly what the baby... (read in full...)

Something I can take to make my period end faster?

A.   27 January 2010: Celtic tiger gives excellent advice here and I don't think I can add much more. You should go back to your doctor to discuss this. When I was a shift worker I had to take my pills at varying times of day and it didn't affect me like that. If you a... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi my girlfriend and I have been having sex for a couple months now and now she's been having stomach problems that she's never experienced before, but she doesn't have any of the other pregnantcy symptoms and I was just hoping someone could he...

A.   27 January 2010: Yeah - I agree that "stomach problems" is a bit vague. To the average layman the term "stomach" can mean any place between the the ribs and the pubic bone. There are an awful lot of organs crammed into there so you'd need to be really specific about ... (read in full...)

A.   25 January 2010: Some people do feel that they need to pee during sex. The urethra (urinary opening) gets stimulated by penetration and in some positions there is more pressure on the woman's bladder. Both can give you the sensation that you need to pee. If yo... (read in full...)

A.   25 January 2010: I agree with Angzw - this sounds much more like the effects of clinical depression but I'm no expert in testosterone levels. I think you should share your concerns with your G.P to get some support for yourself. He may also be able to help you get ... (read in full...)

A.   25 January 2010: Has your libido (sex drive) also disappeared or just your desire to kiss? The pill has been known to reduce libido in some women but this would affect your sex drive as a whole (not just your desire to kiss) If it's just kissing that's the prob... (read in full...)

Still bleeding after having sex 3 times and bleeding lasts 1/2 a day! whats going on?

Q.   Hey everyone, I am just wondering if it is normal for a girl to still be bleeding after the 3rd time you've had sex with a guy? This is the 2nd guy I have been with. The 1st guy I was with for 2years and I didn't bleed my first time. Now he (the 1st...

A.   25 January 2010: I think male endowment might have something to do with it, especially in the deeper penetrating positions because it can knock the cervix, which can cause both pain and a small amount of bleeding. This would only happen in certain positions, though, ... (read in full...)

Q.   I'm going on holiday in July and I'm so nervous about being on my period. What do you girls suggest? I know I can go on the contraceptive pill, but I've never been on it before and my friend told me she bled constantly for 2 months... I d...

A.   24 January 2010: I'm tempted to say, just have your period. It seems an awful lot of hassle to go on the pill just for a holiday. I went camping in a field with no facilities whilst having my period and it didn't really cramp my style all that much (if you'll pardon ... (read in full...)

A.   24 January 2010: Discuss your options with your G.P. The pill can certainly help with premenstrual syndrome including mood swings. Depression can also be a side effect of the pill, though but not all that commonly - usually in women with a history of depression. ... (read in full...)

Any ideas of how I can get my dog to chew his food and stop choking?

Q.   I dont know where else to ask this question so I am going for it here since most people have pets. I have two 4 month old miniature chihuahuas. They are brother and sister and the female Pixie is larger than her brother Bubba. I am having a problem ...

A.   24 January 2010: Bubba might be wolfing his food too quick, especially if he is the smaller dog. If you don't eat it quick, someone bigger will get it, right? Even if they don't seem to squabble over food to human eyes, it might be happening at a subtle "dog" level. ... (read in full...)

A.   24 January 2010: I can't speak for everyone but I cut contact with my exes because it helps me move on. I find that, if I was really into the guy, any attempt at maintaining contact is actually an effort to keep things going in the hope that he will come back. ... (read in full...)

Will it pay off to look more my age?

Q.   Is it really an advantage when you're nearing 20 and you still look 16? And if I don't want to look 16 anymore, how do I come to look more... my age? Thanks....

A.   22 January 2010: I used to have the same problem (sadly no more, but it was only about 4 years ago that I was last asked to prove my age to buy alcohol - I was 35) I don't think there really IS anything you can do except carry your I.D. card with you and take it ... (read in full...)

Q.   If you fall pregnant while on the pill would you still have your period within the 7 day break even though you're pregnant?...

A.   22 January 2010: Yes, do get a test done if you broke the continuity of your pill routine (but it doesn't automatically mean that you are pregnant.) Early pregnancy symptoms usually start once the fertilised egg has implanted properly. They may include, tirednes... (read in full...)

Why Women Can’t Separate Sex from Love

Q.   Lila here~. The truth is, most women genuinely cannot separate sex from love. Even in our post feminist, equal opportunity culture, women are still hard-wired to expect love and sex to be combined. Heck, I was talking to a stripper about b...

A.   20 January 2010: I agree totally with caringguy. There really is no way of doing it gently. You might still be very fond of him but I too recommend that you cut contact. He will be very hurt and, if you continue to see each other, he will find it difficult to let ... (read in full...)

A.   20 January 2010: No you've made youself perfectly clear. You've explained your feelings and wishes to him numerous times. I don't know if he's theoretically agreed to compromise but he certainly isn't trying to change his behaviour. If he hasn't tried to, he isn't ... (read in full...)

If you fall pregnant while on the pill, would you still have your period?

Q.   If you fall pregnant while on the pill would you still have your period within the 7 day break even though you're pregnant?...

A.   20 January 2010: Yes, it's perfectly possible. The bleeding you experience during your pill-free break is not the same as a "proper period" The pill contains synthetic hormones that mimic a pregnancy. A pregnant woman does not ovulate so ovulation is sup... (read in full...)

Why does doggystyle make her hurt?

Q.   Why is it that when I put my partner "doggystyle" she says that something bothers her and that it hurts?...

A.   20 January 2010: She's not altogether unusual. It's a deep penetrating position and it can "bash" the cervix which some women (including myself) find painful. It also doesn't stimulate the clitoris for some women to enjoy it completely. My advice is - go slow and... (read in full...)

A.   20 January 2010: Sounds like you've both been going through a tough time but I think you've done the right thing in moving on. It's your life - you don't want to hang around for some guy to sort himself out and doesn't appear to want to be with you at the moment. ... (read in full...)

A.   20 January 2010: I don't think he's going to stop just because you ask him to. He'll have to want to quit and it doesn't sound like he wants to -his life revolves around it too much. I think even if he does agree to quit for you, he will do it in secret instead. ... (read in full...)

A.   20 January 2010: Yeast infections are really common. If there's a woman out there who's never had one I'll eat my own head. (If you see a headless woman walking around, you'll know what's happened.) Yeast infections are really common in pregnant women, especially. ... (read in full...)

Why might blowjobs be considered degrading? Help me understand...

Give the engagement ring back... or sell it???

Q.   I was with my ex-fiance/girlfriend for nearly 4.5 years. Our relationship was very up and down, and I believe I never could make her happy. In fact, I don't think she's a very happy person at all. When we met, we were friends, her then 4 month...

A.   18 January 2010: Normally I'd say that the girl has the option to keep her ring although it's "polite" to give it back. It IS a gift but it's meant to symbolise the promise you made to each other. However, she had that option 8 months when you first broke up and s... (read in full...)
