I have been taking stackers ( which is diet pill, also gives you loads of energy) for a while now, I was wondering if anyone knew if it had anything to do with making your period late at all..? Mine is late and I've taken two pregnancy test, (though I haven't had sex since Sept 02 I thought I'd check) and both say not pregnant.

Just wondering if anyone knew if the pills would have something to do with it.

A story :)

In January of 1996, when I had just turned 13-years-old and was in 7th grade, I was watching TV one night when I got horrible cramps. They lasted for about three hours and were so painful that my parents were sure I had appendicitis. Two weeks later I got my period for the first time.

I was just thinking about this today because in the past semester I've been doing a lot of research on fertility and ovulation for an evolutionary psychology class I am taking. It got me really interested and I went off hormonal birth control to being charting my cycles using the basal body temperature method. I am AMAZED. Ever since I stopped the pill, each month I get these cramps before my period, mittelschmerz or ovulation pain, as I now know to call them. Back then, when I was just first getting my period, I had no idea what was going on. And now I just think it's amazing how I can read my body and know what's going on. I'll never go on hormonal b/c again!

Sorry for the random posting, I'm just having one of those days :) But I'm curious, does anyone else in here have ovulation cramping? I hear it is very rare--only about 3 percent of the population gets it.

Have a great day!

A little help...

Some of you might remember me as the girl who didn't get a pap smear done. Well the results of the ultrasound came back and there looked like their was a growth on my cervix so my doctor wanted to perform a pap smear and a pelvic exam.

I had it done and it was the worse experience of my life!!! It was so painful!!! A lot of things contributed to it being painful, I know, like my being tense, my opening being small (I'm a virgin), and the doctor couldn't get the thing to spread me open in because I was so tense and they didn't have any smaller.

But ever sense I had the pap smear I haven't been the same. I feel different about my body; I feel like I've lost something I can't get back because my doctor was the first person to be down there besides myself. I feel like I want to live the rest of my live with my legs closed and I never want to have sex now. And my crotch still feels weird and the exam was on Wednesday.

Has anyone else felt like this after their first pap smear? Because I haven't been myself since it happened, I've been real depressed and I don't know what to do. I know it'll pass but that's not helping me. I don't blame my doctor (and please nobody blame him) because he did everything he could to try to calm me but I just freaked out.

And just so you know turns out there was no growth.
