Semen leaks out after sex. It's liquid, and gravity does its thing. But there are millions of sperm already in your cervical mucus within a couple of seconds of his ejaculation, so anything that leaks out doesn't matter -- there are plenty still available to make the journey into your...

what is a trial bike? is it just a dirtbike or something

I've seen a bunch of surgeons, too, and gotten different opinions from them on exactly where the problem is, and exactly what to do about it. But hang in there. Get another opinion. If the MRIs and Xrays were done at an outpatient facility, call them and find out how you can get copies of the...

Dear NYCGirl -- In the past 18 months, during extensive research on my condition (foraminal stenosis at L4-5 and L5-S1), I have read most all the links that appear on the Spine Universe and Back sites. With the exception of the docs at University of Wisconsin, who write the article promoting...

I've never even heard of minimally invasive spinal fusion (MISF). It seems like an oxymoron because fusion is, by its very nature, an invasive procedure. It means cutting a lot of soft tissue and taking out portions of your spine, then inserting instrumentation (roRAB and screws) to hold your...

If it's your normal period at the usual time, you are not pregnant. You can have sex during your period if you and he enjoy it, but you're quite unlikely to be fertile at that point in your cycle. (If you're trying, it's probably better to have sex a bit less often. You want lots of healthy...

If she mentioned breast discharge, that sounds like a prolactin level.

No wine is good during pregnancy. An occassional SINGLE glass (of blackberry wine, beer, vodka or any other alcohol) is almost certainly harmless, but daily wine (or any other alcohol) is risky. Who are all these 'people' who are recommending this?

360, better online experience first off. Secondly wii sports games are not that in depth, I work at probably the largest sports game company and can tell you that our wii versions of games are nothing compared to the xbox and ps3 versions. Wii's are fun but if you like action and sports don't...

Pregnancy is possible. The odds should not be, however, extremely high. (If your period is due next week, you probably ovulated LAST week.)

Even if you had conceived, you would not be having symptoms this soon. Your stomach probably hurts because you are stressed or have a stomach bug. If you took all your pills, the odds of pregnancy are VERY low. If you don't get the bleed at the end of the pack, do a test ... but 99.9% certain...

There is no reason that sex itself would make you feel nauseus or gassy. But if you have a tummy bug, or ate something that disagreed with you, or you are nervous/anxious about the sex, any of those could cause the symptoms you mention. You could also potentionally have gotten a UTI, but nausea...

She is almost certainly NOT fertile that early in her cycle. (She probably ovulates around day 13-14, and sperm can't live in her body for over a week. Add to that the fact that you used a condom ... if you used it correctly and it didn't break, she should be fine.

You're probably ok ... but probably isn't quite good enough unless you're wanting to have a baby. Get PlanB. (What's to 'not agree with?') And .. in future, use birth control. Withdrawal is a VERY unreliable method.

If you've had two positive home tests, no need to go to a clinic for another test. You are pregnant. (Planned Parenthood will just do another urine test, and get the same result.) You now need to arrange for prenatal care.
