Replying to: Birth Control Question Menstrual periods are triggered when one stops taking the "active" pills and go onto the placebo pills. Beginning menstruation today after starting the placebo pills on Friday is the correct timing for this. Keep in mind that while your menstrual period may have been irregular before beginning these birth control pills, it will be the hormones on these that will trigger your menstrual cycles, not...

Replying to: My Mom's Closed Cervix Dear creynosa: Thanks for writing on behalf of your mother--that is so great of you. Yes, as women age the opening of the cervical canal gets smaller. This is especially pronounced in a woman who has never had a vaginal birth (eg only C-sections, or never pregnant).

Replying to: issues with trying for 2nd baby The first day is when you have red flow, not spotting. I am guessing it *could* take your body some time to get back to an ovulating cycle after stopping breastfeeding. That said, some women get pregnant while feeding. It's anyone's guess what may happen with you.

Replying to: I have a question about my period it may be related to stress. this has happened to me before and when my stress level went down i noticed that things were back to normal for the next month. if this is concerning you to the point where this is getting you very stressed, call your GYN and discuss your options. irregular periods may also be corrected by birth control pills, and this is one thing i would discuss for options. again,...

I started my last period on November 9, it lasted about 5-6 days. I haven't been taking my birth control and I'm not sure when I should be ovulating. I know that sperm are viable for up to 3 days, but I'm still unsure. I woke up this morning with a headache and I felt a little nauseated ( sorry if spelled wrong). I have two beautiful children, but they both almost killed me when I was pregnant and giving birth, so it would be a...
