How much control does an NFL player have over what position he plays?

I see some guys that just look like they are in the wrong position





ex: Micheal Vick could have been a Bo Jackson type of running back - i know coaches had to see thatHow much control does an NFL player have over what position he plays?
0% once they enter NFL. Most of these guys position are set in College or high school or even in Pee-Wee league.How much control does an NFL player have over what position he plays?
alot,but your question needs to be more clear
Vick was barely 6 feet and probably 200 lbs


Bo Jackson was 6' 2'; and 235 lbs





Vick would have made a better NFL running back but no where near the talents of Bo Jackson. Many NFL players have played a position sometimes since high school and definitely college. NFL teams draft you with a position in mind. I doubt if the players have much say as to where they would like to play once they hit the NFL.
NFL players have little to zero say in what pisition they play. 99% of the time when a team signs someone, whether it be a free agent of a collegiate athlete, they sign them because they are good at the position they play. Sometime positions can be interchangable. Hard hitting very smart corners are sometimes switched to safeties and visa versa. Faster smaller defensive ends are sometimes chenged to linebackers. Most of the time though, ALL SALES ARE FINAL!
Players play where they fit best. Vick never wanted to be a RB and told teams he would only play QB. Some players agree to play any position to get a job.
The player has no choice. You play where the coach says. But this usually only happens when you first start off. Defense is a little different, people get switched around more frequently. Some QB's go to WR like Matt Jones on the Jags, or vice versa. But the player has no say, they but you in the best position for the team to win. Also Vick was no running back, had nothing in common with BO except they are both fast. But I hear ya, Vick probably could of played anywhere because of how gifted he was except line.

Civilization 4 is a great game for controlling a city during medieval times.





This game is generally great for all time periods and evolving your city into the future. The next best thing I could think of is Rome.

If you have a volt/ohm meter, the first thing to check, with the power off, are your limit/safety switches for continuity. Some are re-setable. If they test good, the control has a problem and needs replacing. A bad limit/safty switch will cause the control to only run the blower continuously.

Does birth control make you break out worse before it gets better?

I just recently got on Otho Try Cyclen lo about 3 weeks ago. Mainly to lighten my periods and lesson my breakouts during my period. But is seems to have got worse. I am not even on my period yet and I've been breaking out the whole time. Does breakouts get worse before better?Does birth control make you break out worse before it gets better?
I think my acne did initially get worse before improving, when I went on the pill...I almost never have zits now.





If after three or four packs you're not seeing any improvement, it might be a good idea to switch pills or try a different treatment option.





(I have been on Yaz and Yasmin in the past -- Yaz was the one where I had an initial increased/same amount breakout, but it went away, and I saw no increase on Yasmin)





Good luck!Does birth control make you break out worse before it gets better?
i was on that pill..it made me break out so bad...i stoped and got a diff pill and the break outs went away

  • How long you need to be off the birth control pill to conceive?

    I was off my pill for one week-had a period normally and I never got back on. We tried for two weeks to get pregnant and my due date for my period is this week. Is it possible that I can be pregnant? Im just too anxious to find out!How long you need to be off the birth control pill to conceive?
    It all depends on how your body adjusts to being off the pill. Some women get pregnant right away and some women take a while. It is possible to get pregnant right away. Doctors recommend waiting at least a month or two after getting off the pill to try and conceive so that your cycle has time to regulate and so that all of the hormones from the pill are out of your system. You could be pregnant. The best thing to do is to wait until your period is due and take a test. First Response can be tested up to 5 days before your period is due.How long you need to be off the birth control pill to conceive?
    About 3-6 months!
    I have been off the pill since Feb and we are still ttc. I heard that if you start trying the first month you get off your chances are really good. I guess everyone is different. Good luck to you. I am 3 days late right now as well so hopefully this is my lucky month too!





    Keep trying and don't give up.
    Sure, it's definatly possible, although they do suggest waiting 3 months after stopping the pill to get pregnant so that the hormones are out of your system.
    Usually its 3 to 6 months but everyone is different!!!! It is possible to get preggo right away! You could try testing now since your period is due this week or you wait to see if you miss it!
    SOON AS I GOT OFF THE PILL I GOT PREGNANT, AND I MEAN SOON AS!!! ME AND MY HUSBAND HAD GOTTEN INTO AN ARGUEMENT AND CALL OUR SELF BREAKING UP(WASNT MY HUSBAND AT THE TIME) SO I THREW MY PILLS AWAY, WE ENDED UP BACK TOGETHER ABOUT 3 DAYS LATER, THE NEXT MONTH I FOUND OUT I WAS PREGNANT!!! IT DIDNT TAKE ME LONG!!

    Besides brushing a dog - What is a way to control shedding?

    I have a 9 month old Great Pyrenees and she sheds very bad. I brush her all the time and it just don't help. It comes out in big white clumps and it everywhere and out of control. Is there a treatment that can be done besides shaving her?Besides brushing a dog - What is a way to control shedding?
    This is exactly why we tell people that a pyr is not for everyone %26amp; they should learn all about the breed traits before getting one. If the shedding bothers you this much, you may have chosen the wrong dog for you.





    Pyrs shed most once in the fall and once in the spring. They shed more then to change from summer coat to winter coat, and from winter coat back to summer coat. The rest of the year they also shed, but less so.





    DO NOT SHAVE YOUR DOG! The fur grows in a way meant to protect the dog's skin from sunburn in summer, and from cold weather and rain in winter and rainy season. You harm the dog if you shave her. It's also inappropriate to shave her just because you don't like the fact that she needs to be groomed regularly. That's a fact of life with a pyr. You need to join a pyr group to ask questions and learn about the breed.





    You can take her every month or two to a PetSmart to have her groomed and the undercoat combed out. That will help. Get a groomer who's well experienced with great pyrenees.





    OR


    you can get a rake, a slicker brush, a comb, another comb with alternating length teeth, and learn to comb her out some every 2-3 days yourself. That will form a bond between you both as well as socialize her and it's good for both of you.





    If you know anyone who spins their own wool, they'd LOVE to have some pyr fur to spin.





    At PetSmart, they use the Furminantor DeShedding conditioner as part of the treatment. I took my pyrs in for their first grooming this summer and was very pleased with the results. My groomer got ALL the undercoat out so they were silky and shed a lot less for weeks. -!-Besides brushing a dog - What is a way to control shedding?
    All dogs shed but should only shed twice a year, seasonally. Excessive shedding all year round for any breed can be a sign of poor nutrition. Check the ingredients in your dog's food to make sure that she is getting meat as the main ingredients of her food, not corn, not meat flavoring, not chemical preservatives and dyes.





    Then, find a quality supplement to add to this diet because commercial pet foods are heat processed and many nutrients your dog needs are actually cooked out of the food. So, adding vitamins and enzymes and probiotics is necessary.





    Keep her on this type of diet for life, not just until she stops shedding. Remember that it may be a while before her shedding slows down, but it will!
    Feed her a high quality food. Corn, wheat, soy, and chemical ingredients can cause skin issues and excessive shedding. Try Canidae, California Natural, Innova, or Wellness.





    California Natural Skin and Coat Supplement works like a charm to end shedding.





    There are other supplements you can try.





    Shampoo has nothing to do with shedding.





    Vacuuming is key. Vacuum the dog if she'll let you.
    Nope - brushing and vacuuming is about it. There is no ';miracle'; stopper for shedding - no shampoo, no grooming tips, nadda. She is shedding because she HAS to - it's the bodies way of getting rid of dead hairs.





    Perfectly natural and normal for her breed - did you not come across this during your research?





    Note: In very RARE cases poor diet can contribute to shedding. Changing diet to a kibble with NO corn or by-products MAY help, but won't get rid of it totally (especially in a breed well known for massive shedding.)
    no treatments. thats like asking if there are treatments to stop peoples dead skin cells from falling off.


    if shedding was this much of a problem, you should not have gotten a pyrenees.





    you can get special brushes that get all of the loose hairs off you dog (search for the ';furminator'; brush). they work pretty good.





    also for a bit more money, you can go to the groomers and they will probably have some technics to help with this.
    you should brush her then give her a bath to get extra fur off of her the when shes some what wet like when her fur is damp brush her again then when her fur is completely dry brush her again. i know its a lot of brushing but this works with my dog hope that it helps :)
    she is shedding her puppy coat, it will get better as she gets older, but not by much. Get a good ';for pets'; vacuum cleaner and use it. Also, she will shed less with a healthy diet, I have two poms and they shed less *it seems* now that i have them on the RAW diet. They also get a bath every 3 mos and are brushed daily.
    Some breeds just shed more than others. Has she been shedding like this all her life, or is it just recent? If it is recent, she could be bathed too often, causing dry skin. If you are brushing your dog, make sure your getting to the undercoat. Check her skin to, has she been scratching lately?
    A good diet and daily brushing will help LOADS. I have a few friends who use the Furminator, you might want to look into that. but it is pricey.





    And you have to remember, this breed sheds no matter what. It is something that comes with the breed. It's going to happen.
    try a different shampoo.





    her hair may be falling out becuase of dry skin so maybe find a nourishing oatmeal shampoo to keep her skin healthy and strong
    sure..





    its called running the vacumme cleaner.. that helps control the hair.





    Shaving wont stop shedding, she will just shed shorter hairs.
    You can`t stop shedding. If her coat is shiny and her skin is good, I wouldn`t worry. NEVER shave a dog!
    Yes. It's called ';not having a dog';.

    How old do you have to be buy birth control?

    So I've made up my mind and I want to have sex with my boyfriend. I want to be safe though, and I won't do it without birth control. Is the cheap stuff you buy at the walk in clinic as effect as the expensive birth control. Will it give me health problems? How much is it? Just basic information please. And don't tell me I'm to young because I am 16 but at least I'm being safe. I just want the facts.How old do you have to be buy birth control?
    Go the your local teen clinic. The one where i live supplies the same thing that doctors do but it's free of cost if you don't get paid a certain amount of money.





    Kudos to being safe. I just urge you to clearly think through and talk to your boyfriend about what you guys would do if you did end up getting pregnant. you need a plan.How old do you have to be buy birth control?
    Make an appt and get the information from a doctor. Or go to the family planning clinic or woman's clinic in your area. The Doctor will treat this as confidential. Each brand of birth control pill has a different potency based on your doctor's recommendation. If you are old enough to have sex and potentially make a baby from the act, you are old enough to go to the doctor and face the music.
    I think there are some birth control pills that require a doctor's prescription if you're under 18. If you're over 18 you can go to the pharmacy counter and buy them without a prescription. Ask an older friend to buy them for you if you're embarrassed to ask you're doctor.


    Also if you're buying birth control pills combine them with condoms so you're 100 percent safe :)


    Hope it helps.
    if you go to a place like planned parenthood you can get birthcontrol at 16. you have to get a check up which is like 150 dollars and then the birth control is like 16 a month depending on what they give you! it shouldnt give you health problems it may lighten your period and make you gain some weight and you cant smoke when on it (if you do) their are some risks but they'll give u all the info when you go! and it's good your being smart! it's better than being a teen mom! lol
    The stuff at the clinic is the same. Use a condom anyway to protect from disease. The info that comes with the pills will cover any health issues or inquire at the clinic, they will be happy to help. Good for you for at least being responsible. It's worries me to see 15-16 yr olds pregnant. They are giving up so much
    18 but with your parents consent you could get it at your age and i would go with the expensive ones im not sure about the exact facts, but just read the labels
    18 and over

  • How much control should a government have in a mixed-market economy?

    I'm writing an essay about this topic, and I just wanted to know what you guys thought! Any help would be greatly appreciated =)How much control should a government have in a mixed-market economy?
    A government should have necessary control, but not too much.





    In a mixed economy, the government owns infrastructure, medicare, social security, they spend on law enforcement as well as education. We have a mixed economy in the United States.How much control should a government have in a mixed-market economy?
    Their should be a very limited role of government. Its primary purpose is to protect private property. Its role it NOT to redistribute private property. Providing education is a good idea, but not necessarily the governments obligation. If it was not provided publicly, there would be more privately run primary and secondary schools. It does have a role to provide infrastructure since goods like roads are public goods. Though, if it did not, there would be toll roads instead. We actually do pay for roads indirectly instead of directly.
    The more the government plays a role in our economic life the more our freedoms erode. Government does not create wealth but simply redistributes it. When used for national defense, highways, sewers, public utilities etc. OK. But when they start to redistribute they quash initiative and you end up with more and more people depending on the government for their support from housing to food. If you like socialism, move to Europe. If you prefer free enterprise (capitalism), stay here and protect that freedom.

    Can birth control suddenly produce side effects after years of being on it?

    I was on Yasmin for about 4 years without any problems or side effects and then I stopped it for 3 months. After that time I started it back up again and after about 2 months this time around I've started to have weird symptoms such as frequent urination episodes, dry mouth, and most recently I'm experiencing muscle weakness and tingling in arms and legs. I've had blood tests and everything comes back normal so I'm wondering if all of this ties in to Yasmin. Has anyone had similar experiences?Can birth control suddenly produce side effects after years of being on it?
    Any medication can have side effects regardless of how long you've been taking it. Very important to report these to your doctor especially if the onset was after you started the medication.Can birth control suddenly produce side effects after years of being on it?
    yes it can- i had the same thing on a really low dose pill. Its just your bodys way of reacting to the pill..just remember that although its so common for the pill to be used as contraceptive or to control periods its still not natural to fill the body up with hormones, which is what its doing in hind sight. Theres a vitamin course you can get from a health shop could 30+ which helps counteract the symptoms and its all natural, i found they helped immensely, especially with the mood swings and sore muscles etc.
    omg i thought i was crazy i had the same effects. and i went to my doctor and she said that is nothing to worry about, that is only symptoms that are shouldn't care about and that is normal and it si because it went away in a couple of days. dont pay much attention to it you should be OK if not go to your doctor, i hope this help =D


    good luck hope you feel better
    That's very common. I think it's recommended that birth control be switched every couple of years because using the same one for many years reduces its effectiveness or causes symptoms.

    First tell her you have to see your gynocologist. Then ask your gynocologist for a prescription for birth control. Birth control pills are sometimes used to regulate your period. Be open with your mom. The last thing she wants is for you to be a pregnant teen age girl. She can handle it as a medical condition when regulating your period.
    say mom, there is something important that i need to talk to you about, but promise that you won't mention it to dad. if she does say that you can't trust her anymore and tell your dad that you told your mom this in confidence. i don't think that your mom would tell your dad if you told hear ahead of time that you didn't want her to mention it to your dad.

    just be upfront with her, she was fifteen once I'm sure she will understand, after all I'm sure she will appreciate you for wanting protection and not wanting to get pregnant. If she has any worries, just reassure her that you aren't planning on having sex, you just want to be prepared.
    why dont you say its to regulate your period? or for acne or something? thats what i did. i think she kinda knows its not for that but she's in denial...well i am almost 20.

    How did ebola and the bubonic plague get under control?

    How come ebola or the bubonic plague didn't wipe out the entire population of the earth? They are so infectious, I just don't understand how it ever stopped.How did ebola and the bubonic plague get under control?
    ebola is something fairly new. health services in africa take drastic action to stop it. bubonic plague just burned itself out. it is still around, but modern sanitation has helped keep it in check. why the plague stopped is a good question. maybe the rats carrying the fleas got something that killed them.How did ebola and the bubonic plague get under control?
    I don't think Ebola is actually gone. I think it has just slowed down, and is under control.


    Quarantine is one way to stop infectious diseases from spreading. It will make it's way through a small community, and then die off.

    How do we get rid of this stray cat that keeps hanging around w/out calling animal control?

    We don't feed it or pet it. How can we get it to go away without harming it? If we call animal control, we know that it may be euthanized. Any suggestions?How do we get rid of this stray cat that keeps hanging around w/out calling animal control?
    I guess your not an animal lover then. Poor kitty :( What if he belongs to someone and he can't find his owner? Maybe you could take a picture and make flyers. Also, check with your city to see if they have a ';lost and found'; bulletin board that you can post. If the stray is friendly, most likely he is just lost or have been recently abandoned. If the owner was caring enough, the cat may have been microchipped. Most animal shelters will have a device to detect this.





    Otherwise, you could contact a local no-kill animal shelter to see whether they can trap it for you and perhaps help the cat to find a nice warm loving home. That's the least you could do.





    Sometimes I find this a fate because I didn't find my cats, it was them that found me and I love them to death!!How do we get rid of this stray cat that keeps hanging around w/out calling animal control?
    get it's confidence and then take him/her to the vet and get them fixed. As soon as you try to put him in a carrier, they will run off and not want to come back...at least I have had luck with this..
    keep it just a while and you can find it a new home in no time! make few posters and ask them to see if they're interested.
    Animal control picking up a stray does not necessarily mean it will be euthanized. That's what cats do, though, they pretty much are self sufficient. A neighbor's cat hangs around our house and at first it bothered me, but then one day I saw it carry off a rat from our yard. I've seen it do it several times now and believe me, the cat is less a nuisance that the rats that I didn't even know they were there..
    How do we get rid of this stray cat that keeps hanging around w/out calling animal control?





    Answer: That's why we have the second amendment

















    ......j/k
    You just have to act mean and try to scare it off.


    You could also take photos of it, make flyers, and pass them around the neighborhood asking if it's their pet, and if so, to keep it home and get tags for it so it won't end up killed.
    Take him to a no kill shelter. You may have a humane trap program near you that can bring a trap and take him to a safe shelter. He can then be reunited with his lost owners or adopted out. Don't just ignore him, he is seeking help. It does not take much time or effort to save him.
    Sounds like you care about the little guy! Try taking a picture, and then posting it on Pet FBI. Post signs WITH the cats picture all over the neighborhood. Ask a couple friends or family if they would like to help a cat with a home. After a couple weeks if nothing pans out, buy an inexpensive cardboard cat carrier ($7) and take him to a NO KILL shelter, not the humane society or pound. You can also put an ad on craigslist for your area, but be careful to make sure the buyers aren't people who hurt cats. The best way to do that is ask a $20 adoption fee. In the mean time, I understand you don't like him hanging around, but it would be very sweet of you to put something out for him to eat. Sounds like he's going to be there either way. There will always be homeless cats, unfortunately. Thanks for noticing this lost soul!
    The only thing you can do is continue not to feed or pet it, you are right, by calling animal control you are probably signing it's death warrant. Poor thing - It is looking for love and food in an ugly world full of over populated unwanted animals. Maybe you could put up a picture on the street posts %26amp; maybe it belongs to someone who recently moved and there cat got out and can't find it;s way home, if it's not wild it's a good chance that it is someones pet. We live in the country and have a terrible feral cat problem as well as jerks dumping cats in the area all the time, it's hard to turn your back on them but unrealy to think you can take in wild animals and save them. Wish you luck!
    maybe you should adopt the cat or maybe the cats adopt you since its coming to you alot

    You may have to get your pill changed because your body and mind shouldn't be going through all that every month. Firstly loosing a lot of blood is nt good,and now days periods shouldn't interrupt a women's life to the extreme that you have mentioned. Dont suffer unnecessary pain,you can take pills for this,but it is important to take the painkiller's as soon as the cramps start.good luck. Sort that pill out,I hate those things,but if your young its not to bad,BUT DONT SUFFER.
    From my experience with birth control pills if you start bleeding before the placebo pills that means the pill is not for you.





    I went on a pill that had no estrogen *I wish I could remember the name but I don't* and all I did was bleed so I switched.





    Go back to your doctor and get on something else.





    I don't know much about loestrin 24 because the clinic I go to didn't have it yet when I just switched from Alesse to Yasmin but from reviews a lot of people hate loestrin 24.





    Are you on the pill just for shorter periods? There are other pills that offer that.
    it will go away soon because the birth control pill cant control your periods
    bc pills dont stop your periods...but your body is probably just adjusting to the medication... Probably after a month or so it will be back on track...not saying your periods will last amonth saying after your body get use to it.. it will be better...or atleast it should be

    How to control the output of electricity to a usb using c++ java or other language?

    Im setting up a fiber optics light show in my room and have written a program in c++ with buttons etc to turn on off dim etc but i am wondering how i can control how much electricity is given to the usb by the computer to power the led's. Any ideas? or is this just unfeasible?How to control the output of electricity to a usb using c++ java or other language?
    The USB port has a fixed power output. There is no way to change the voltage.





    Next problem is the USB port is a serial I/O port. You can't directly manipulate the on or off time. This is controlled by the USB interface controller.





    Go here for the USB specifications:


    http://www.usb.org/home





    If you really want to connect something to the USB port, you'll need a USB interface chip to handle the communications in addition to any other electronics that you may need to drive the electronics you want to use.





    In the middle of all this, you'll need to develop a USB device driver for your USB device. The last time I tried to do this, I spent a lot of time just chasing down SDK's and other related software and compilers that I didn't have. I ended up modifying the USB device rather than make my own software because I couldn't find some of the software I needed without paying for it. It was much cheaper to just modify the hardware. You'll spend a lot of time searching Microsoft for various tools and SDK's unless you go with Linux. Linux would be the easier route and all the tools and source code will be available.





    If you go to Win98/95 and boot to DOS or get an old copy of DOS, you could directly manipulate the printer port. For a PC, this might be the better solution. You'd still have to build the hardware for storage registers and actually control your stuff.





    Another alternative would be to buy a special interface board. I'm sure they make something like this or you can find something that would work. I have no idea what the cost might be.





    Good luck on your project. As another answerer has already noted, you don't appear to have the technical skills needed to even understand what you are asking.





    Shadow WolfHow to control the output of electricity to a usb using c++ java or other language?
    How much electricity is given to USB? As a person that took a university Physics course, I can say that it doesn't make any sense.
    I don't think you can vary the power, I think you can only turn it on and off.

  • In intervention studies, is it required to have a Control group to authenticate the study?

    In our study, we are measuring the effect of exercise on muscle fibre size and neural control. The STUDY group (sample size 20) will have certain parameters measured before the exercise and then, the same parameters will be measured after the exercise. Thus the data will consist of pre-exercise values and post exercise values. If the participants are within the normal distribution curve of the population (healthy, adults), is it required to have a CONTROL group?In intervention studies, is it required to have a Control group to authenticate the study?
    It's -always' best to have a control group to minimize the effects of any 'hidden' variables within the experiment.

    Is it possible to get pregnant on birth control?

    In know this question has been asked before but I am going to ask. So I have been taking birth control for 2 1/2 years and have had my period come late. I sometimes have spotting afterwords and have cramps. I have been sexuality active once afterwords this last period. I sometime feel nausea, get headaches, and mood swings during my period and after. How long do you know until your pregnant? What are the symptoms of it in the beginning?Is it possible to get pregnant on birth control?
    EARLY PREGNANCY SYMPTOMS





    Although a lot of women experience pregnancy symptoms, and find signs of being pregnant, other's don't ';feel'; pregnant. Certain signs and symptoms of being pregnant can be confused with other illnesses. The following list are some telltale symptoms of pregnancy. Morning sickness is one of the most common signs of being pregnant, but you also might be one of the lucky ones who never experience this pregnancy symptom. Missing a period is another sign and symptom of being pregnant. We'll go into greater detail below, and you can read below.





    MISSING A PERIOD





    One of the most common signs and symptoms of being pregnant, missing a period can also be caused by other reasons. Although missing a period is one of the most common of the pregnancy symptoms, stress, illness, weight fluctuations or coming off the oral contraceptive pill can also be the cause of this. Irregular periods are a common symptom of polycystic ovary syndrome, a condition in which periods can occur several months apart. If you still feel like you are experiencing other pregnancy symptoms, continue reading the other signs of being pregnant.





    TENDERNESS OF THE BREAST





    Another sign and symptom of pregnancy is the changing of size and feel of your breast. As early as a few days after conception, this pregnancy symptom may occur. Your breast is beginning to enlarge, as it gets ready for breastfeeding. Many women claim that their breasts are very sensitive and that they experience a very sharp, tingling sensation as well. Being one of the signs and symptoms of being pregnant, the tenderness of the breast often disappears a few weeks later.





    NAUSEA AND VOMITING





    Considered another one of the classic sign and symptoms of being pregnant, nausea and vomiting, (aka morning sickness) has become one of the most feared of all pregnancy symptoms. Feeling sick is a common complaint and is experienced by most women from weeks 5 to 6 of their pregnancy. However, morning sickness can also be felt as early as two weeks after conception. Morning sickness can occur at any time of the day, and can vary from an occasional faint sensation to overwhelming vomiting and nausea. By and large, morning sickness is one of the pregnancy symptoms that tends to disappear towards the end of the first trimester.





    TIREDNESS





    Many women experience fatigue as one of their pregnancy symptoms. Although this might be a sign of being pregnant, it can also indicate other things as well.





    DARKENING OF THE AREOLA





    Being one of the first physical symptoms of pregnancy, the darkening of the areola can occur throughout your entire pregnancy. If you notice the darkening of the areola, this could be considered one of the signs and symptoms of being pregnant.





    FREQUENT URINATIONIs it possible to get pregnant on birth control?
    Yes, you can get pregnant even though you are on birth control. You have a very low chance of getting pregnant if you have taken all your pills at the right times. You should try wearing a condom that way you have double the protection.


    First signs of pregnancy include:


    Morning sickness


    Light Cramps


    You may expierence spotting which is also known as implanation


    Fatigue (tiredness)


    Sore/ swollen breasts


    Late period





    There are a few other symptoms those are just the main ones..





    You can buy a home pregnancy test and I think it will pick it up at about 4-6 weeks? I am not exactly sure on that one.





    Goodluck!
    it is very possible to get pregnant while on birth control,nothing is 100% safe,especially the pill. so many things can stop the pill from working effectively. having the flu can interfer with it. thats why most doctors will reccomend the pill not be used as a main form of birth control.


    early pregnancy signs are the same as pms,cramping,spotting,headaches,are signs of both. what you can do is get a test done at your local doctors and that will tell you if your pregnant or not. or you can wait about 3 weeks after you had sex and take a home pregnancy test.


    if your not ready to have a baby yet, you should use two forms of birth control,just to be safe.
    you can get pregnant while on birth control...


    if a person is on birth control for a long time their bodies become immune to it and they need to have their precriptions uped a doseage... i had a friend this happened to...but if u are having ur period i dont think your getting pregnant... birth control will cause your period to be extremely light and only last a day or two... and nausea, headaches, and mood swings are all symptoms of birth control... talk to your doctor about it.. maybe you need a new birth control medicine
    Yep, both my mother and i fell pregnant on b/c..normally it takes around 14 days after conception for a pregnancy test to show positive..symptoms being tired, sore boobs, nausea, cramps, mood swings and heaps of other stuff..
    Yessss of course





    answer mine please

    What happens if you suddenly stop taking birth control?

    I have been taking yaz for about a month and its causing horrible side effects. When is the best time to stop taking it?What happens if you suddenly stop taking birth control?
    you run the risk of getting pregnant (unless of course that is your aim)





    different routes of contraception take different amounts of time to get out of the system but essentially (unless it is an implant or depo-injection etc etc) the hormone levels will fall and it no longer does its job.





    you may also notice changes in periods (as pils can often make it lighter)





    but it won't actually do you any damage to just stop (that's what most women do if they are aiming to get pregnant)What happens if you suddenly stop taking birth control?
    Now.





    It'll probably take a while for the hormones to get out of your body. Your periods might be a little screwy for a while.
    Im not exactly sure when the best time is, I would talk with your doctor.

    How many years until the government has complete control of our daily lives?

    I thinks it really close. If we get national health care I foresee the government telling us what and when to eat and putting us all on a exercise plan.How many years until the government has complete control of our daily lives?
    They already do. It's pretty well disguised though.How many years until the government has complete control of our daily lives?
    We've been moving in this direction for many decades. It's really nothing new. It's bothersome, but you will always have your freedoms. Just don't get in the way of the bankers and the elite and you'll be fine.





    National healthcare is not as bad as you think, it will control the spiraling healthcare costs and look at Canada. It's not the best thing ever, but at least you've got your health. oh.. wait...
    every time we have a democratic president the power of the government has been increased over our lives.





    here are some historical facts that many may not be aware of but perhaps it will help people understand:





    Franklin Delano. Roosevelt (Terms of Office March 4, 1933, to April 12, 1945), a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. He promised:





    1.) That participation in the program would be completely voluntary,





    2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual incomes into the program,





    3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year,





    4.) That the money the participants put into the Independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the General operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program, and





    5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.





    Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month--and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to 'Put Away'--you may be interested in the following:





    1958 is the first year that Congress voted to remove funds from Social Security and put it into the General Fund for Congress to spend.





    it was a democratically Controlled Congress.





    Congress's logic at that time was that there was so much money in Social Security Fund that it would never run out or be used up for the purpose it was intended or set aside for.








    Question: Which Political Party took Social Security from the Independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the General Fund so that Congress could spend it?





    Answer: It was Lyndon B. Johnson (Democrat, Term Of Office: November 22, 1963 to January 20, 1969) and the democratically Controlled House and Senate.





    Question: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax Deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?





    Answer: The Democratic Party.





    Question: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?





    Answer: The Democratic Party, with Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. (Al Gore) [Vice President Term of Office: January 20, 1993 to January 20, 2001] casting the 'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US





    Question: Which Political Party decided to start giving Annuity payments to immigrants?





    AND MY FAVORITE:





    Answer: James Earl Carter, Jr. (Jimmy Carter) (Democrat, Term of Office: January 20, 1977 to January 20, 1981) and the Democratic Party.





    Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!





    Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that it is the Republicans want to take your Social Security away! uninformed citizens believe it!





    If enough people are made aware of this, maybe a 'Seed of Awareness' will be planted and maybe changes will evolve...Maybe not, some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn't so.





    i do not ask you to take my word, you can easily verify these facts on the net. dare you or do you prefer ignorance, you decide.
    william, if we don't get the fence leaners (indy's and moderates) on our side...this will occur before the end of obamas term. the tide must be turned by 2010. if you've been following what's going on, there is a concerted effort going on right now to control our very way of life in the future and there are way too many people who have absolutely no idea what they're getting themselves into. if you are concerned, spend time time with one person at a time and educate them WITH facts. i cannot stress this enough, FACTS speak for themselves, emotions are what they are.
    How many years does the 'bama have left?





    And, let's not forget that the Democrats are going to yell and scream at how bad our country is that we need another 4 years of the 'bama to fix it. They will never submit that the problems are all caused by their ';spend, spend, spend, tax, tax, tax'; attitude.
    Our personal control over our lives is gone with Obama. One way or another. Look at the czar positions he's appointing. Wait and see what he does with ';cybersecurity.'; Think about that one.
    Forget attending church with Rev. Wright. I'm worried that the historic Anointed One graduated from the public service schools of Idi Amin and Robert Mugabe.
    You should be thankful after the government stepped in to fix what Neocons and their global corporations did to us.
    Why are cons such psychotic doomsayers?

    How can I prevent weight gain from birth control pills?

    I just started taking birth control pills. I haven't changed my diet or exercised any less, but I still feel a noticeable bloating. How can I prevent weight gain from the pills. I already eat healthily and exercise, which are the obvious suggestions to prevent weight gain. Is there a certain vitamin or anything I can be taking to offset what the pills do weight wise? What about the pill causes weight gain, anyway?How can I prevent weight gain from birth control pills?
    No, it's just water weight and it will go away in a few months once you get used to it. It's not permanent weight gain. Drink lots of fluid and stay away from high sodium.How can I prevent weight gain from birth control pills?
    Hormonal birth control basically tricks your body into thinking it's pregnant - that's why you don't ovulate when you're taking it. The increase in hormones makes many women store a little extra fat, as if in preparation for pregnancy.





    If you want to get rid of the weight, you're going to have to kick up your exercise routine a little bit - add five minutes to your daily cardio, etc.





    There aren't any vitamins or supplements to counteract the weight gain, and besides, that would interfere with the hormones and make your birth control less effective.





    If you experience a really big gain, you may want to talk to your gynecologist about switching to a different prescription or brand of pill. Your body may not react as strongly to a different formulation.
    As to whether the pill directly causes weight gain has been disputed heavily in the past - but there are a few possible explanations.


    Some studies show that oestrogen in high doses can cause water retention, which might explain the bloating. If you're really worried about it, talk to your doctor who might suggest a pill with a lower dose. But the obvious hazard of a light-weight pill is that it'd be less effective as a contraceptive.


    Others say that the sudden difference in hormone levels can stimulate a larger appetite. But as you didn't mention this, i'm guessing this isn't the problem.


    I suggest carrying on as normal - and see what happens. If you're really concerned about it, talk to your doctor.
    That's a good question i'd like to know too.
    interesting.. i asked my gyno the same question..


    she told me it was a myth.. that birth control does not make you gain weight
    birth control pills do not make you gain any weight at all.


    it seriously is just a myth. however, you can buy birth control that has a diet thing in it. i dont know that much about it. ask your doctorrrr

  • Why do liberals have an insatiable need to control citizens and tell citizens how to live?

    Conservatives believe in freedom and a citizen鈥檚 right to pursue happiness.Why do liberals have an insatiable need to control citizens and tell citizens how to live?
    Good question. Liberals have a misguided conception of compassion and equality. They believe that compassion involves redistributing the wealth of a nation to those who are less fortunate than others, and that equality means no one should have more than anyone else. Liberals are elitists who believe that only they have the intelligence and the insight needed to visualize and create the ideal society.





    In reality, you cannot convince me that liberals are that stupid. It's really all about power and control. As long as they are the ruling class they will have control of all means of production and distribution, and guess who will get the bulk of the distribution when it comes to goods and money? The masses will be equal all right, equally miserable.





    Liberals scoff at the Constitution as being outdated and serving no useful purpose in this modern day and age. They also believe that religion has no place in government and use the smokescreen of a bogus constitutional mandate that demands separation of religion and state as an excuse to purge the government of all religious symbols and references. After all, if the masses believe in God, then the liberals look silly trying to act like God. But if they can remove God from our lives, then they can more easily fill that vacuum.





    Liberals have an issue with trust, and as such, they see everyone as evil and twisted as they are. WIth such a sick outlook on life is it any wonder they act like they do? I don't want to even go into the rights for certain groups to the exclusion of others and the successes they've had in stripping us of our individual rights through judicial activism.





    Lastly, liberals cannot control an informed society which is why they have control of our education through a federal school system. And, in addition to dumbing down society, they MUST have control of the media to spread their propaganda. They have succeeded in these quests (except for a few islands of freedom), and now that they have a liberal nerd in the Oval Orifice, they will continue to succeed up to a certain point...then all hell will break loose.Why do liberals have an insatiable need to control citizens and tell citizens how to live?
    Because we can't stand to watch conservatives abandon citizens and allow the to be victimized by con artists who are hiding behind a dedication to capitalism. If you really want to give every citizen an equal chance to succeed, the quality of their health care and higher education should not be dependent on the income of their parents.
    because they observe certain deficiencies with the government, but take an archaic solution to dynamic problems, and try to apply it to modern dilemmas. while some things do go rampant in capitalism and do need to be monitored (hence the reason why government is there, to prevent market failure) business is meant to be free and open.





    on the other hand, shortcuts should not be taken when taking into account total profit from business... no one person makes all the profit, and the CEOs are not entitled to the money they think they are. no matter what anyone tells you, you cannot earn $24,000,000 from being in charge of a company... you do not earn all that money. your workers earn it for you, and should be paid justly.





    to answer your question, liberals are the push, republicans are the pull. hopefully we can find a balance between the two and take strengths from both perspectives.
    First of all, YOU DO NOT HAVE A LEGAL RIGHT TO PURSUE HAPPINESS.





    Read the damn constitution.





    And I am not the one who tells people who they can marry, or live, with, or love, or do business with.
    Don't you mean as long as the citizen believes what you believe ? I think gays and lesbians would not agree. I am not a liberal but I think that your question is backwards.
    That's funny. I always thought it was the CONs that detested personal freedom and liberties.





    Oh, well, looks like as long as there is a government or politics, we lose, right?

    How do i get a hold of birth control at age 17 in the state of NJ?

    I am recently sexually active and i always use protection, but I know that's not enough assurance for me so I want to start to use birth control. I don't know if i have to see a doctor or if i could avoid that and just walk into a pharmacist and ask. I am not sure of the laws so if someone ould just inform me of about them, I'll be grateful.How do i get a hold of birth control at age 17 in the state of NJ?
    You will need to see a doctor to get a prescription for BC, you have no worry of the doc telling anyone since it falls under patient confidentiality. A good doctor will ask you to take a pap test first to make sure you are completely healthy, and will discuss with you the best option out there for your situation/body type.How do i get a hold of birth control at age 17 in the state of NJ?
    i live in nj and im 18 and on birth control...i didnt see a private doctor..i went to a place called Family Planning and they gave it to me..just call them and set up an appiontment..its easy!...JUST BECAREFUL OUT THERE...
    planned parenthood.. they go over std's different forms of birth control and condoms.. plan B if you would need it and testing and regular yearly care.
    It's built in, called abstinence try it!
    well im 15 and in my town theres a family health care clinic and i just set up an appt. and went and filled out papers and they dont tell my parents or anything and i get birth control so maybe see if theres a health care clinic where you live?
    look up the local planned parenthood, or health clinic. They will do a physical and talk to you about what birth control is the best for you and about STD's. They will not tell you parents
    Make yourself a doctors appointment. You should have a full check up before starting any birth control. It's also a good thing to find out all of your choices before deciding which you will use. Also do an on line search on different ones to see what people are saying about them don't go just by your doctor they don't always tell you all of the possible side effects.


    Personally I wouldn't recommend Depo I had very bad reactions from it.
    It is best to go to the doctor, and still a good idea to use extra protection for STD';S such as a condom, but you should go to the doctor for your health and what is best for your body. Any birth control is by prescription only, other than the condom

    While using the screensaver, you cannot change the volume of the computer unless you have an appropriate hardware that can set the volume of your computer.

I have tried a Logitech keyboard to control the volume during screensaver. The account that triggered the screensaver is password protected.





    I have only tried this with a Logitech Wave keyboard. Other keyboards with volume control may also work.

  • What will happen if you take your birth control pills out of order?

    I recently started taking the pill, and forgot my case at my boyfriends house. Luckly i had an extra pack at my house, i guessed on which day i was on and i was wrong, i took the wrong pill.. what will happen?What will happen if you take your birth control pills out of order?
    As long as you took an active pill you will be fine. The three rows of active pills have exactly the same amount of hormones in them, so it does not matter what order you take them in. If it was Tuesday and you took a Friday pill, nothing bad is going to happen, you still have the same amount of hormones in your system.





    Now if you took a reminder pill when you should have taken an active pill, I would suggest using a back up form of birth control until you have taken a full week of the active pills again.What will happen if you take your birth control pills out of order?
    Use another form of protection for the next month (I'd go 2 2 b safe) taking the pill out of sink really increases its chance of failure

    I just started birth control pills. My pharmacist said the first pack is not very effective. When I started the second pack (that first day) I had unprotected sex and since then. I even missed a day in the first pack. Should I be worried about getting pregnant?How effective is the second month of birth control when just started?
    No you'll be fine. That was odd of your pharmacist to say that. Normally you're protected after 7 days of active pills. It's possible it wouldn't work as you missed a day in the first pack but it depends when you missed it. BTW if you're going to be relying on the pill from now on don't miss any more!





    HarrietHow effective is the second month of birth control when just started?
    Have you had a period since starting the second pack?





    Assuming you have, you should be fine even though you missed a day. Although it depends on where you were in your cycle when you missed. Normally you need to use backup protection during the first pack of pills, but now that you're on the second pack you should expect to be protected (provided they're taken regularly). I've read where some women are protected within the first week or two of starting a brand new pack for the first time, but I wouldn't want to play Russian roulette and find out if I'm one of those women. LOL Definitely double up during the first cycle.





    ETA: I would say the degree-holding pharmacist knows what he is talking about but is just erring on the side of caution. :?
    Well, when I first started birth control I was told by my doctor to wait 7 days before having unprotected sex so obviously the first pack is effective. That;s ridiculous take them for a whole month and you're still not protected. Don't listen to that pharmacist you will be protected. But I will say when you miss a pill you just never know. Although if you take it soon as you remember and keep taking the others timely then you should be fine. I haven't gotten pregnant and I've missed more than one in a month before. Just always go and take it when u remember.
    no


    if you follow the rules it works in the first week or the first day depending on if u are a Sunday starter or u start the day your period starts

    How long is too long to take birth control pills?

    I've been getting panic attacks for over 15 years but more so when on the pill. I'm 29 and have been on the pill for 9 years. Is that too long? I'm married but do not want kids.How long is too long to take birth control pills?
    Disregard greenmay %26amp; cat. They are not up to speed. You can take the pill indefinitely. My sister did for 20 years. She didn't want children either. Talk to your physician. You'll be fine.How long is too long to take birth control pills?
    Keep in mind it's a synthetic hormone. There are other ways to prevent pregnancy.
    you are normally advised to have a break every 5 years so that your body can have a break and start it's normal functions again. you may not want kids now but you may feel differently in a few years and you'll want to have a healthy enough body to be able to conceive so take a break for 6months-a year and see how you feel after that. your husband can use a condom for the time being, it's a short time considering how long you've been putting chemicals in your body for.





    i advise you to do this so that your options are still open for the future. my aunty always said she didnt want kids and now she has 2, the first is 6 and she was conceived when my aunty was 33 and the other is just turning 3 so theres plenty of time left for you to change your mind. it's a personal choice but one you may want to keep an open one just in case because you cant turn back the biological clock.
    It's okay to take the pill as long as you want. I've never heard that 5 year thing. I know there are a lot of myths about needing 'pill breaks', but from what I've read, it's not needed and healthy women who don't smoke can safely take it until menopause. Definitely talk to your doctor.





    I have panic attacks too, but I think the pill actually helps with my PMS related mood swings which in turn help with the panic, so it's not a problem for me, but it can be for other women. Talk to your doctor about that! Each brand of the pill has a different hormonal make up and can effect each woman differently. For some, Desogen (the pill I'm on) can cause horrible depression, for me it helps, but for others it could be Ortho-Tricyclen that helps, for me it seems to cause headaches.





    If you're absolutely sure you don't want kids, why not consider getting a tubal or convincing your husband to get a vastectomy? My fiance is going to get a vasectomy for me, but since the pill helps with my cycle, I'm probably going to stay on hormonal birth control until menopause. Of course, if he gets 'fixed' you won't have to worry about contraceptives for preventing pregnancy...ask him especially if you're not comfortable being on 'the pill' or just don't want to worry about taking it everyday.
    If the pills seem to be the culprit, talk to your Dr.





    Your hubby could take some responsibility in the prevention of pregnancy ya know.
    well usually its recommended that you take a year break after being on the pill for 5 years and then you can go back to it. give your body a rest from the hormones, especially since ure getting more panic attacks i think ure body is trying to tell you something. plus there are many other non hormonal birth control methods out there like intra uterine devices

  • Is it possible for a teenage boy to control his erections?

    Can a young guy control an erection, like depending on what kind of guy he is? What if he doesn't think about sex and doesn't want to?Is it possible for a teenage boy to control his erections?
    It is simply a lack of training your penis to behave correctly, the next time it self erects, take a flyswatter and smack the hell out of it, after a couple of times it will get the idea, take control of you penis. This also works on puppies too.Is it possible for a teenage boy to control his erections?
    Well, yes and no. You can't always control when and where things go off. Some of it is hormone driven, and the body during puberty is still trying to get all that sorted out. Sometimes thoughts can trigger the response, and sometimes sights or smells can do the trick. The easiest way to deal with an unexpected rise in matters is to divert the thoughts to something definitively unsexy. Grandma in a bikini usually does the trick. The more you stress over it, the worse it tends to get though. It's not a question of what kind of guy he is, though I'm not sure there are many kinds of guys, you sound pretty normal. Sometimes it does feel like parts of you have their own opinions about things, and your brain nor you are in control. I would just say try to chill and not get too excited about it. At least it is proof that everything is in operating order, and ready to function as advertised when the time comes.
    I'm not sure if there is a sure way to prevent them from happening, or when you are currently getting one to stop the process, all i do know is that when it comes up, it can be difficult getting it down in a short amount of time. So i suggest wearing loose pants. Try thinking of things not related to sex, Like World History, or religion. That is what i do.
    men cannot control erections. Anything that makes them aroused will get their soldier a full pledged erected hotdog.. just have some ******** after that his soldier will bow...
    You can't control it but there are ways to hide it. Hide it in your belt or something
    nope dont try ull hav em more often lol
    Haha, I wish we could... It really sucks when I get a hard on in public... lol
    for a teen boy i would say no if he gets excited then he will get an erection for sure
    ah ... i think erections can be controlled, yeah.
    Nope !

    How can I break lethargic habits and gain control of my life and destiny?

    Also how to cope with low self esteem??





    What do you do, when people treat you inferior??





    Surely the reason I feel low esteem is because the way people treat me make me feel so.





    How can i not let other people affect how I feel about myself?





    Are we not programmed to be independent??How can I break lethargic habits and gain control of my life and destiny?
    omg, low self - esteem, story of my life,


    dont worry bud, im on the same track as you.





    what i did was, i went to a therapist and that helped A LOT.


    create and trust a small circle of good friends, dont hang out with or talk to anyone who you know is going to make you upset.


    and there are ALWAYS going to those certain people who want to bring you down by saying the worst things to you, usually to make themselves feel better about them. and i most deff. know who those people are for me. dont let them get to you. if they make fun of you, make a joke out of it. let them know their words do not affect you . it works, its happened to me, they stop making fun of you .





    also, dont feel bad to accept compliments. when someone saysing you look nice, dont be like aw they are just trying to be nice. embrace it, believe it, know you are a great person.





    i know exactly how you feel so i REALLLLLLLLLLLY hope you feel better. good luck!How can I break lethargic habits and gain control of my life and destiny?
    Start by looking in the mirror, naked...say the following:





    I am ENOUGH!





    Every morning and evening, practice this. You do not need to prove yourself to anyone but yourself. Until you do that, you will be at the mercy of everyone around you to tell you whether you're good enough.





    I'm so guilty of that. When I practice saying ';I am enough,'; I feel better, and my subconscious starts believing it! I need to do it more, so I'm glad you asked this question because I needed a reminder. So thank you!
    Sounds like you have a brain nuerotransmitter problem. Check them out:





    Dopamine


    Serotonin


    Gaba


    Acetycholine
    I wish you would read ';The Art of Happiness'; by the Dalai Lama. Low self-esteem, like happiness, is not caused by other people, but by your reaction to them! They can't ';Make you feel'; like anything - you LET them affect you that way.





    No, we aren't ';programmed'; to be independent. We are a social animal, and need social interaction more than independence.





    If you really want to feel good, volunteer for someplace where the people are really in need - a shelter for battered women, a homeless kitchen, a childrens hospital, etc. You will feel valued and needed and good about yourself, and nothing anyone else says will alter that.
    Take a warm bath. Take a cold bath. Eat healthy. Plenty of fruits and vegetables. Take vitamin supplements. Exercise. Do you think this is the way of successful people? Believe it. IT IS!





    Get yourself out of LETHARGY. Positive Thinking. When you take a warm bath, imagine that all the negativity, evil thoughts, toxins in your body are being washed away. When you take a cold bath, imagine your are being refreshed with goodness, your chest is so light its easier to breathe, your nerves are calm, pure white light is pouring into you, from your head and flowing down to your feet. This positive light is energizing you and filling you with goodness and revitalizing energy.


    There are foods that might be toxins to your body. Identify them and AVOID them. Eat plenty of healthy food. Be conscious of healthy living.





    Clean your room, your house of poisons. There are many chemicals that poisons the air in your room or house.


    Avoid breathing or exposure to harmful and toxic chemicals in your household.





    Exercise regularly. Exercise your whole body. Aerobic exercise does so much good for your heart and lungs.


    Read about cleansing your internal systems as much as you keep clean your skin.





    Have new friends. Join school clubs. Be active. Look for friends. Be gregarious and LIVE! Choose the good ones. THEY ARE YOUR REWARD..
    There are many meds that can help you transform from a slug or toad into a productive human being.





    Consult a mental health professional such as a psychologist or psychiatrist. ASAP.





    ';Are we not MEN? We are DEVO. D-E-V-O!';
    u have to learn to do things for yourself and not care what other people think of you. like my grandmother is a painter but she has some issues n her husband always told her to paint landscapes and so she has for like 40 years but i was painting one day and she said , ';oh i wish i could paint abstract things like that.'; and when i asked her why she said ';cuz ur grandpa likes landscapes better';


    u cant be like that. rebel against the images other people have made of you, if they say you're not good enough just tell yourself you are.


    if you learn to care about yourself and love yourself for you and you alone without leaning on anyone else you'll discover that people's opinions of you dont matter so much anymore. this is your life and you completely have the choice to do anything you want in it. dont choose to be miserable
    To break lethargic habits, you must make a conscious effort to get up and do things; don't allow yourself to sit there for ';Just 5 more minutes.';


    To gain control of your life, you must TAKE control. Get up and start doing things to better your life; don't wait for things to be handed to you.


    To cope with low self esteem, you may need some therapy/counseling. Generally, low self esteem is caused by a traumatic even, ill behaviour from others, etc, and therapy/counseling can help you move past those events. Also, the lower you feel you are, the more it feels like others are downing you. Having more positive self esteem can change a lot about you--your appearance, your health, the way you talk, the way you walk, how well you work, your energy, your alertness, etc.





    How you not let others effect how you feel about yourself is to simply ignore what they say. People put others down to make themselves feel better. If they're dissing you, they don't feel very good about themselves. And, a lot of times, people (especially younger ones) will put down those that they're jealous of.





    Humans are social creatures--we actually thrive on contact with others. There are very few individuals that can do just as well with no regular contact as those who get frequent contact. We are somewhat independent in that we don't NEED a group or pack to thrive (such as many other animals), but we do still need the contact.

    Is ejaculating inside safe with combination of birth control and the morning after pill?

    My girlfriend and I have been together for close to 3 years and we have had sex quite a number of times, everytime with protection. At this stage in our relationship, we're looking into having unprotected sex as to be frank, we're both quite curious and sometimes have unexpected urges at odd times.





    I was wondering whether it was safe to ejaculate inside my girlfriend granted she is on birth control and that we use a morning after pill the day after? We have already purchased it, and are just wondering if anybody can provide some insight on this. From what I have read online, companion's often practice internal ejaculation and have been quite safe.











    Cheers!Is ejaculating inside safe with combination of birth control and the morning after pill?
    I'll be honest with you about how hormonal birth control and ';the morning after pill'; work so that you can make an informed decision.





    1. Birth control pills work primarily by keeping a woman from ovulating. However, sometimes there is ';breakthrough ovulation'; which explains why some women DO get pregnant while on the pill. What this tells us is that the birth control pill sometimes causes early ABORTIONS. How? Because if there is breakthrough ovulation, the pill works by changing the woman's uterine lining so it will not let the embryo implant, thus causing an early abortion. It doesn't happen A LOT, but we know it happens, and could very well have happened to your girlfriend in these past 3 years without either of you knowing it. She would have assumed the blood was her period and not a baby.





    2. The ';morning after pill'; works in a similar manner, although the dosage of hormones is much higher. If a woman actually conceives through unprotected sex and then takes the emergency pill within 72 hours, the same result as above will occur. The uterine environment, made hostile by the pill, will reject the newly conceived life and end the pregnancy.





    So what you might think is just ';birth control'; might actually be abortive. You and your girlfriend need to have a long talk about this. Obviously, being sexually active is risky behavior on a number of levels.





    And the two of you might have been parents before....and not have even known it. How sad.....Is ejaculating inside safe with combination of birth control and the morning after pill?
    She probably won't get pregnant, but the only thing that offers any protection against VD are condoms and abstinence.
    The morning after pill is not intended for consistent birth control! It is a very elevated level of hormones, and can really mess up your girlfriend's cycle / body!!!





    If you are interested in options other than condoms, I would recommend her going to the doctor and discussing different types of birth control - other than simply using a condom.





    The pills are difficult, because if you miss any during the month... it can up your odds of getting pregnant. She can try getting the shot (Depo Shot - Good for 3 months).... an IUD (can be good up to about 5 years).... or continue using condoms!





    Basically, you need to get more education before just using medication (ie. morning after pill) to prevent pregnancy!!!





    *** Also *** Remember, condoms are the only type of birth control, other than abstinence, that will prevent STDs... even though you have been together for 3 years... you never know!





    GOOD LUCK!
    If she is *ALREADY* in birth control there is little to worry about. I think both of you should know more about her body and the menstrual cycle before going unprotected. There are fertile and infertile periods each month. If she is on birth control the morning after pill is not needed.
    the morning after pill isn't a form of birth control from my knowledge. not a smart idea....
    Wear a condom dude.
    Well i think you'll be pretty safe from pregnancy with just the birth control. It would actually be dangerous for your girlfriend to take the morning after pill everytime you had intercourse. Your only supposed to take it 2 or 3 times a year. I would both go and get tested for stds to just to be extra cautious. You may not have anything but you can be a carrier and pass it to other people. Happy humping :o)
    ummmm, safe from what ?





    pregnancy, nothing is 100% but so close as to be immaterial.





    STD'S been tested ??





    ummm by the way ';internal'; is NORMAL.
    Here's the thing...even with perfect usage, there are failures with the BC pill. Less than with condoms, but if I were having premarital sex, I would use both.





    Any time you have sex, there is a chance of pregnancy occuring. Any time. No matter what.





    Also, the condom at least provides some protection against STDs. If you are not married, you really can't be sure that she is faithful (of course, this is true in some marriages as well!).





    Not to sound preachy, but sex is always a gamble; with your health, your partner's health, your relationship, and a potential human child. Sex outside of marriage is an even bigger gamble.





    Oh, the morning after pill is different from RU-486. If you are already pregnant, you are out of luck. It can stop ovulation, but not usually implantation. BTW, Im VERY pro-life, so I have no agenda here promoting an abortifacent.

  • How long after you stopped being on birth control did you get a proper period again?

    I've been off the pill for over 7 weeks now and still haven't had a proper period yet. I have been TTC and done a preg test but it was negative.





    Thanks.How long after you stopped being on birth control did you get a proper period again?
    I was on the pill, had my ';week off'; of the pill so I had a period and then took about another week of pills. I then stopped taking the pill as my husband and I decided to TTC, about 2 days after I stopped I had a period. I didn't know if it was a real period or if it was just bleeding because I stopped taking the pill. Anyway I thought it was just bleeding. But it turned out to be a real period and we got pregnant right away!! Right now I am 13 weeks pregnant. The first day of my ';bleeding'; was July 11. So anyway for me it was right away. I have heard though that sometimes it takes up to like 6 months for your cycle to get back to normal. Good luck!How long after you stopped being on birth control did you get a proper period again?
    i was regular straight away, but i have a friend that had been bleeding on and off a lot since. some women take several months. just depends on your body. where you regular before going on the pill? i was, my friend wasn't. good luck.
    i've been off the pill for 11 weeks and still havent had a period.


    it can take months for your period to show up, if your worried see your doctor, they can prescribe you pills that will help your period start.
    When I came off the pill it took 47 days before I ovulated, and 55 days total before I got my period. It can take a while for your cycle to regulate again,

    What will happen if you take your birth control pills out of order?

    I recently started taking the pill, and forgot my case at my boyfriends house. Luckly i had an extra pack at my house, i guessed on which day i was on and i was wrong, i took the wrong pill.. what will happen?What will happen if you take your birth control pills out of order?
    As long as you took an active pill you will be fine. The three rows of active pills have exactly the same amount of hormones in them, so it does not matter what order you take them in. If it was Tuesday and you took a Friday pill, nothing bad is going to happen, you still have the same amount of hormones in your system.





    Now if you took a reminder pill when you should have taken an active pill, I would suggest using a back up form of birth control until you have taken a full week of the active pills again.What will happen if you take your birth control pills out of order?
    Use another form of protection for the next month (I'd go 2 2 b safe) taking the pill out of sink really increases its chance of failure
    hmm i dunno too much or not enough hormones...never happened to me but hey that's risky! check with your doc ok?
    not sure chec with doc first

    How long after I stop taking my birth control should I get my period?

    I was on the pill for over 3 years. I used my last pack back in the beginning of Sept and got my period like I regularly would but I haven't gotten my period since. I've been using condoms when having sex so I should not be pregnant but should I see a doctor? I'm not sure what the normal length for getting it after your off the pill is?How long after I stop taking my birth control should I get my period?
    Going off hormonal birth control can really mess up your menstrual cycle. Your body has to figure out how to regulate itself now, and that can take some time. It seems to me that you've gone one cycle without a period; that isn't anything to be too alarmed about.





    If you've only been using condoms and are still worried, you could always try an at-home pregnancy test. Condoms aren't as effective as the pill, so there IS a chance you're pregnant. If I had to guess, though, I'd say it was just a hormonal adjustment.How long after I stop taking my birth control should I get my period?
    Getting off birth control can have quite an effect on your hormones and can cause your period to be irregular for a while. However, I would still expect a period basically on schedule, and definitely within 6 weeks of discontinuing the pill. If you don't get a period after 28 days and there is a possibility you could be pregnant, take a pregnancy test as a precaution. If you're not pregnant and don't continue your period after 2 cycles, visit a doctor.
    I don't know for sure about the pill but, I stopped taking the depo provera shot a little over a year ago and my periods are still messed up. Some months I have one and some I don't. At one time I even went four months in a row without one. And I was only on the shot for a little over a year. So, I wouldn't worry too much if I were you, you can always take a home pregnancy test just to be on the safe side if it will make you feel better.

  • Why do the government use interest rates to control inflation?

    The monetary approach to inflation-control is based on the theory that inflation is caused by an excess of purchasing power. In a quick phrase: too much money chasing too few goods and services. The Bank of England responds to the Monetary Policy Committee by expanding or contracting the supply of money and therefore affecting interest rates. The mechanism for this is quite complicated, involving the issue of government stock and the rates at which the B of E will lend to various borrowers. Also, the Bank is empowered to control the credit creation process through liquidity ratio requirements in the banking sector.





    The theory is that a rise in interest rates, and the corresponding limitation in money supply, will ';damp down'; excess demand and ';take the pressure out of market';. The intention is to reduce households' and firms' willingness to buy goods and services through making credit more expensive.





    There is something fundamentally unsatisfactory about this process and the theory behind it. In the current inflationary situation, price increases were initiated by external factors such as petroleum supply and the failure of banks in USA. Therefore, inflation in UK is not caused by excess demand but by increased input costs. Therefore, monetary policy alone cannot be expected to control the economy. In fact, a rise in interest rates adds to inflation through raising the costs of manufacture, housing, transport and vehicles and so on.





    By ';standard'; economic theory, inflation ought to correspond to labour shortages, excess demand for manufacturing output, congestion in financial markets with shortage of credit for large numbers of borrowers, and so on. Deflation, on the other hand, should correspond to the opposites of these. Currently, in UK and USA, there is price inflation but all the other indicators suggest deflation, recession, maybe the start of an economic depression. Simple monetary policy has no answer to these conflicting indicators.





    There are other mechanisms available to governments to control total demand for goods and services including tax changes and rationing. Since the days of Margaret Thatcher, who espoused monetary economics whole-heartedly, these other approaches have not been used in UK or USA.Why do the government use interest rates to control inflation?
    Fantastic and very well educated answer. Thanks very much. I know have a much greater understanding of the whole process.

    Report Abuse


    Why do the government use interest rates to control inflation?
    It is the easiest way a Govt. can control an economy. If they need to decrease inflation they can increase interest rates to slow the rate of borrowing. If people can not borrow they can not build or buy really expensive stuff. This slows the economy in turn slowing inflation. THe opposite is true as well. If the economy is not moving along at a quick enough pace, the Govt can decrease interest rates making it easier to borrow.
    It is the easiest and cost-efficient way of controlling inflation without any side-effect. The alternative method would be price control, but price control is subject to illegal trading and it can create inefficiency.





    Interest rate is used instead to let the market correct itself, through fine-tuning it. The other advantgae of using interest rate would be its direct effect on inflation.
    They don't control interest rates. They control the supply of money. It is the supply and demand for the money that sets the interest rate.
