einahpets Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 no, we are not qualified to medically diagnose someone here-it is an interpersonal relationship center. but she is not posting on a medical forum, she is posting here. if she wanted the medical facts she should have picked a different site. it seems to me she wanted advice on her current situation. the best we can do here is offer our opinions and advice-which we are doing. just because some of our opinions may be different than that of a medical professional, does not mean we are not making valad points.
koala bear Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 If you have a planned parenthood or such you can get the pill your self. But I still think you should be honest with your mom and explain to her what the doctor said and look online at different types of pills and some of them say that they help with that and show them to your mom. I hope she will be understanding. I had a very stange relationship with my mom I did what I wanted and she didn't care. I didn't take the pill till after I had my first son at 17 yrs. old. And then I got pregnet on the pill with my second son. Just try to be open with her. GOOD LUCK

GOOD LUCK I know that's not the place to ask, but how did you get pregnant if you were on the pill? Have you forgotten to take the pill? I usually take the pill around midnight, but it can be 2 o'clock in the morning and take it only then... Aaahh, please please please share?
koala bear Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 I never forgot a pill. I take them the same time everday. The doctors said that my husband and I are the most fertal people he has ever met. I got pregnet on the pill with my second son and Depo with my third. I had my second son and got the depo shot in the hospital and went exactly 3 months to the day later to get my next shot and they said they needed to to a test and then they came back and told me I was pregnet. For us it is the time of the year all our kids are two weeks apart so we stay away from each other the month of Feb. So i think it just luck that at 25 yrs. old each to have the three most wonderful kids we are doing well. I am having my tubes tied and he is getting sniped because I think we have more then enough.

lydiamarie Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 Originally posted by Doo I am almost 15 years old, and I have moderate acne. I went to the dermatologist and she suggested two things for me to help clear it up: Retin-A or a birth-control pill. I tried Retin-A for a while, and it messed my face up. It made my face extremely red and peely; I know that is what Retin-A does at first, but I have sensitive skin and think that Retin-A is too harsh for it. those aren't your only options. retin-A is supposed to make your skin peel, but it can be too harsh for some people (like you). there are very similar topical medications that aren't as harsh: ask about differin (adapalene gel). another great option (and something that can be used with the differin or retin-A, etc.) is a topical antibiotic like clindamycin. when you go to see the dermatologist, they are just making an educated guess at what will work for you, but they can't know for sure. you need to try out what she suggests, and if it doesn't work then GO BACK. talk about your options. tell her what went wrong. if your dermatologist said that your ONLY options are retinA and birth control, then you need to find another dermatologist.
einahpets Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 I know that's not the place to ask, but how did you get pregnant if you were on the pill? Have you forgotten to take the pill? there was a woman on the motel williams show a couple of years ago. she had nine kids (3 sets of twins and a set of triplets i believe). she had been on birth control when all of them were concieved. the shot, the pill she kept switching everytime she got preg. but every once in a while she would start to feel funny-she would go to the doctor and find out she was preg w/a couple of babies
innocent Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 I had bad acne and My mom feaked out too when they told her the pill was an option. I finally convinced her to let me try it because nothing else had worked....and you know what... that darn pill never changed my acne, it was like I had never even gotten on it. I mean I nearly gave my mother a heart attack, over it. I will tell you what has worked for me though, and you can get it in a walmart, rite aid, winn dixie, wherever. Clean and Clear Astringent, and Clean and Clear's Persa Gel 10, this used to be a prescription but now you can buy it any where, and trust me it is strong! also get something with micro-scrubbers in it to exfoilate and clean your skin, which also washes away dry skin. and then get Netrgena's Oil- Free acne wash Wash your face 2-3 times a day with the Neutragena Wash (morning, after school, and then at night) At night, Wash your face with the micro-scrubbers then use the Netrogena Wash Then put on the astringent with a cotton ball then apply the persa gel This will dry out your skin if your acne is not that bad, if it is bad it may do nothing for you, but I stuggled with acne for a long time and still have a little bit, now the over the counter stuff is much stronger that a few years ago when I was really struggling with it. My boyfriend uses the Proactive kit and that really works well too, if the over the counter stuff is not doing it.
