  • Irregular period-Why does it come for a day or two then leave?

    I have been having a very strange period for the last 2 months now. I'll have something that seems like a regular period for 1-2 days and then it stops for a day or two and then after that, I'll just have some light spotting for a few days to a week. Sometimes, it is brownish-red, while other times it becomes pink or bright red. I haven't had any gushing or anything really heavy and if it weren't for the fact that my husband had a vasectomy 2 years ago, I might think I could be pregnant. I know the odds of that seem very low though and that possibility highly unlikely. I have had some migraine headaches, bone/muscle pain(sometimes a dull ache and sometimes sharp pain) in the back, arms and legs( I fell a year ago and hurt my back, but I didn't go to the doctor as I should've. I assumed it was nothing major and though it hurt, it would heal on it's own in time.) I actually felt better for awhile after the fall, but now it's almost impossible to walk without wanting to cry some days. Sometimes, it feels like nerve pain in my lower back.), ocassional dizziness or light-headedness, tiredness, bloating and frequent urinating. I know I need to see a doctor(and I plan to this week), however, I am scared to death that it is something serious. I am 34 years old and have no family history of ovarian cancer, but wondering if there are other symptoms that occur with that type of cancer than what I am experiencing? Do you also lose weight with this type of cancer? I haven't lost(though I'm not gaining any either) any and my appetite seems fine(sometimes I am actually more hungry than usual). Can the untreated back injury be a possible cause for the other problems or is it most likely the other way around? Can an injury actually throw off a menstrual cycle or affect one's bladder?

    Because I don't know which one is causing the other, I'm just not sure if I should see someone for my back, the menstrual cycle or both?

  • Today I Found husband created an account on?

    Adultfriendlyfinder.com(or Adultfriendfinder.com, I think that's what it was called) in Jan of this year. Is this a site I should be concerned about? I was too afraid to actually click on it as it doesn't sound like a place to meet actual friends. Anyone know what this site is for?

  • urinating every 20 minutes and no period?

    My symptoms:

    -Bloating/pressure or feeling full

    -Backache and some cramping(though I fell and hurt my back 2 mths ago and it hasn't healed)

    -Frequent urinating(every 15-20 min it seems like)

    -No period for last 6 weeks(used to be irregular up until a year ago then regulated to being monthly. Now it's gone!)

    -Headache dizziness

    -Suddenly Producing milk again(my youngest son is 1-1/2 yrs old and the milk dried up months ago!)

    I took a pregnancy test 2 nights ago(EPT brand)and it came up negative, so I assume that it's not that. What is the deal with having a missing period and milk production. Again, I haven't nursed in well over a year and there was NO milk up until I checked this morning. What is going on?

  • The accidental Facebook poke?

    I am very embarrassed because I was sneaking a peek at an old HS crushes profile. Under his pic were "photos of him" and "poke." I was trying to click under the "photos" button, but my mouse moved and it clicked "poke." Does this mean he was automatically poked or is there another step before it actually goes through to someone(like a: "Are you sure you want to poke this person?" kind of thing), which I am hoping is the case. I know it was highlighted, but I am not really sure if it actually clicked. I don't even think he'd remember me to be honest, but if he did, I will forever feel embarrassed. We are both married and it was a total accident. He never responded Thank Goodness, but just wondering if a person is automatically "poked" with a click or does it need to be confirmed first before going through to them?

  • Is it strange to have your spouse want to stay married but move out?

    We are in financial strains(he was laid off from a high paying job last year)and may be losing our home in a few months. Anyway, my parents offered to let us live with them rent-free for awhile until we get back on our feet. My hubby says he will not move in there, but wants me and the children to move in with them while he gets his own apartment. He says he'll save and try to find a way to move us in later on down the road. My question is: How can he save money if he's paying rent on an apartment? Again, my parents said they wouldn't charge us anything. He also said that he can't move in b/c he needs internet access, something they said they could put in if it's needed. As far as the apartment goes, I will not be on the lease or have a key. He already LIVES in our basement doing who knows what. I fear I'm being set up right now and that he's using this apartment to get out of the marriage. The excuses for needing to be there when we've been offered a free place to live for awhile makes no sense to me. We have 3 young children(6, 4 , and 1). I don't want him to think he still gets a free maid caregiver to his kids and cook(and sex partner) when I have to ask to come over-We're MARRIED! People I've talked to say that he's just trying to get out but doesn't know how to say so. Others say he wants the benefits of marriage(divorce is costly), but wants to live like a bachelor(having an apartment w/o his family around). Is this weird to anyone else for a spouse who wants a place on their own and won't take the help that's being offered us?

  • Why won't my back heal?

    2-1/2 months ago, I had a pretty nasty fall and as a result ended up with what I thought was just a pulled muscle. My husband's been out of work almost a year and there is no health insurance, so I brushed it off and figure it would just need time to heal. After all of this time, it hasn't and now if I sit or stand for more than 20 min and then try to stand up, the pain in my mid to lower back(and right above my tail bone) is unbearable when I try to walk those first few steps. Usually, it calms down again after I walk around for 10min or so, but those first steps leave me in tears. I am also having bone pain(as well as in my chest) and I'm thinking it's related to the back problem, but I'm not sure. I want to go to the doctor's, but I'm not wanting to end up putting my family into more debt with medical bills, we already have enough bills and debts with my husband being out of work. I'm just wondering why my back won't heal if it's just a pulled muscle? Should I go to the doctor's anyway and worry about the bills later or should I just wait and see if it just needs more time?

  • How do you get rid of someone who won't let go?

    Get rid of an ex-GF on FB who will not let the past(15+years)die and keeps contacting and trying to initiate meetings with him? Should I contact her and tell her to stop it or make my hubby delete her from his list of "friends?" Something needs to happen here b/c I am fed up and about ready to walk out!

  • Would you consider this to be cheating?

    A couple of weeks ago, my husband told me he was going out to lunch to do some "networking" with the hopes of increasing his chances of finding a job(he's been out of work since last Dec.). He went out for a few hours and came home. Later that afternoon, I happened to be on FaceBook and a found a note from an ex-girlfriend that said: "Thanks for sharing lunch with me." Right away I was thinking: What in the world? I asked him what that was all about. He told me that it was with an ex-girlfriend, but that it was no big deal. She more or less wanted "closure" and to let him know how much he hurt her (btw, their relationship was 16 years ago!). He told me that he had lunch with her because she may be able to find work for him where she works or at the very least be a good reference for him. I'm thinking: If she really thinks he's such a jerk, why would she help him find work? Am I wrong to suspect something beyond an innocent lunch? Btw, she is also married with a child so why does she need "closure" after all of these years? He says that he didn't lie, he just didn't tell me about it.How is that any different or better? I'm mad to say the least. I'd like some opinions(some male perspectives with this are appreciated too.)

Btw, she is also married with a child so why does she need "closure" after all of these years? He says that he didn't lie to me, he "just didn't tell me about it." How is not telling(hiding it)me any better than outright lying to me about it? I'm mad to say the least. I'd like some opinions(some male perspectives with this are appreciated too.)on whether people think this is crossing the line or cheating.

    Thanks :)
