Usually after intercourse since my second trimester- now in my third- I will have lower abdominal pain. It will be somewhat crippling but go away within a few minutes. Today, however, we were unable to penetrate. There was a very distinctly sharp pain as though there were some sort of barrier. My partner said he noticed it too. It can only be described as feeling as though I were a virgin again, like something had to be broken through. It was quite strange and painful. Anyone? & sorry for the tmi.

How long does it take to be a nurse in the obgyn where they deliver babies? I know it takes 4 years to be an RN but in total how long will it take to be that?

I had a baby four months ago and ever since then i have been so moody. I take the depo shot and i have to go see my gyno today. i like the shot but a side effect is moodiness. can i counter act that with an inti depressant or move on to a new Birth control?

Is there any way that by examining a girl’s vagina, a gynecologist the can grossly tell when was the last time that girl had sex? And how long back can the gynecologist go?

i mean do they need to take out your uterus
or can they just remove the fibroids or tumor so you can have a baby
have any of you had uterine fibroids (badly) and had a baby?

I am thinking about taking birth control but i dont know what or which one to take. I am looking to take it to treat menstrual cramps and heavy flow. I want to use a safe and effective one.

I tried hard but couldn’t get what I wanted. I used google (Starting to despise google for research), and some scholarly search engines. Used the phrases above, plus wayyyy more, and I personally think I’m good at finding obscure info on the web.

Given the ways in which drugs and chemical substances regulate and act within our bodies, what are the inherent ‘limits’ to how much drugs, shots, hormone therapy, blah can repair,enhance,change, blah our bodies?

There probably isn’t a good answer, or maybe there is, but its certainly just a theory. I am also trying to keep away from the ideas of surgery here, and nanotechnology (small nanobots repairing things in the body, because that hes yet to happen, and would allow for to much speculation).

I think enhancement is more along the lines of what I am looking for, but yeah, the limits of that, given how drugs and pharmaceuticals all must interact with by blocking stuff or activiting or whatnot. I already have read a bit about receptor theory, it pertains to my interest here, but is not enough. Would the theoretical limits of drug enhancement and repair via trying to drugs and such be the limits of the human ? Isn’t pharmocogenetics trying to develop ways for drugs to interact with and ‘turn on or off’ genes? If this were the case, couldn’t I theoretically affect my genes in a way that would stop myostatin inhibitors or something, so I could get super muscley real easy?

Maybe that was too hypothetical. But can you help me find some literature on this? or provide an answer/ opinion to flesh this out more? maybe the myostatin thing was too much, but the idea was perhaps it’s the limits of the body? I don’t mean medicine either, as I think surgery, science, prosthetics, implants, and nano could eventually make us super connected ultra omega humans in the drop of a dime with the right focus. I was just reading about nootropics, experimental drug research, and new army amphetamines that supposedly do not hype you up or have a come down, but simply allow you to remain in a normal focused state for well over a full day. anyway, I just started to wonder
"what are the limits to what I can do with a simple pill pop or drug dosage????"

I may be pregnant, but we’re not sure yet. I took 3 tests 3 days ago, and all three came back positive, but then I had some spotting/period and took another test last night and it came back negative. I have 2 more tests to take, but I’ve been spotting/having my period for two days now. Is it possible to still be pregnant?

I am experiencing horrible throbbing menstrual cramps and pamprin isn’t working anymore at all. I’ve tried ibuprofen, midol, extra strength and 12 hour formulas – but nothing helps anymore. Weird thing is, any other time of the month I never take these pain relievers, but its like my body has built up a tolerance to them. What else can I do to relieve the pain?

I have a very low sex drive and I always have even before we had our baby. My husband always teases that it is a miracle he is here because I am never in the mood. Even when we have for play I am still never in the mood. It is starting to affect our relationship. My husband is sleeping on the couch and told me today that he feels his role is only to pay the bills and that we are great room mates. I need some help and I don’t know what to do or who to ask for help.

My Girlfriend has just been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, how will this affect her for the rest of her life? Does it decrease her life expectancy? Is there anything that I could do to help her deal with the symptoms?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Is fertility raised slightly after a miscarriage? When do most couples start trying again?
Thank you everyone for your insight. Much appreciated. It is a very emotional time for me and my husband. I am thankful for your support and words of wisdom. I will let the community pick the best answer if that is ok. All your answers are great!

Today I was diagnosed with three uterine fibroids (3 cm each) and a small ovarian cyst. I don’t want to get surgery as it could be dangerous for other organs. Are there any natural ways of shrinking them?

Thank you.

I have recently moved to a new city, and haven’t set things up with a new doctor yet. I’m wondering how many appointments I need to make right away. My birth control prescription is about to run out – do I need to make an appointment with a gynecologist to get this renewed, or can I ask my regular doctor when I go in for a physical?

I am sitting in my bathroom with debilitating menstrual cramps. I need quick home remedies! Please help!
