Is it better to shave or wax the hair on the scrotum in preparation for a vasectomy?
Careful shaving with an electric razor is the least painful method, along with being much less expensive than waxing. You and your partner could make a bit of a game of it.
Most women can get these abdominal twitches. Sometimes it's just hormones and females can forget that when making love the hormones rage in both partners. The best exercise out there is (believe it or not) sex! Almost every part of your body is involved in the act of love-making. You're body is just relaxing. It's like riding a bike for 20 miles when you aren't use to it. You are going to end up with anything from burning muscles, leg cramps and twitches. Same thing you are going through with your female anatomy. Don't worry so much about it. Hormonal changes can also create this. I've had them for years (as have my girlfriends) and we've had a physical and all was well.
It has been known that some doctors don't do a good job when it comes to a vasectomy. It would be to your advantage to have your husband go to your family doctor and have tests run to be sure the vasectomy took well. If all is well then you aren't pregnant. It is noted that for a 2 weeks to a month after a vasectomy the man should not have sexual contact with his wife or girlfriend. My husband had one several years ago and that's what we were told. If you were told that and didn't get pregnant you were very lucky. You need two sperm counts, with no sperm in either to ensure you are no longer fertile, and it may take upto 6 months.
When you miss a pill your period will arrive earlier. If you miss 1 pill your period will arrive 1 day earlier than usual. If you miss 2 pills your period will arrive 2 days earlier than usual, and so on. This will help you to record when your period is due. I have noticed you began bleeding 10 days after starting BC pills. This should not be happening and is not normal. Because of this, your period may be irregular. You need to see your doctor and tell him/her about the early bleeding and possibly have your birth control changed to a more suitable one for you. Please note this is advice only and should not be used in place of a medical experts.

What drug can be used to avoid pregnancy after sperm enters virgina?
Up to 5 days after you can take the Morning after pill but it should be taken the same day.
In general the answer is yes... it would be ideal if the pack of pills is one of the "mono-phasic" types meaning all of the active pills are the same dosage. all of the active pills will have the same shape and color in a monophasic pack. Just try to get a new prescription in time to take a full 21 days of pills without missing any for the best results. also make sure the pills have not expired or may not be as effective.

No, that is a weekly birth control and will not work as an EC.

Extremely low, but unless you're abstinent there is always a risk. Aside from that, sex during the mestrual cycle can cause infections, so be careful.
What is a Milky white mucus like vaginal discharge mean The ovulation date was last friday the 20th?
Most likely? Yeast infection*... can be a lot of other things, though.
* - not considered an STD, though it can be passed on that way, because most people do NOT get them due to sex at all. Can be caused by anything from dirty sand on the beach to bad diet to genetic factors.
Read up on yeast infections, see if your symptoms match.
What happends when you take birth control while parent?
Birth control is important for any parent that doesn't want another child yet. You should find and use an effective method as soon as you're home from the hospital, and have it ready by the time you want to have sex again.
However, there is some concern that birth control pills, or other hormonally-based birth control, may not be a good choice for nursing mothers. Anything that goes into the mother's body is something the baby may be exposed to through her milk. So if breastfeeding, physical barrier methods such as a condom or cervical cap may be a preferred choice.
If, however, a baby will be exclusively bottle-fed then birth control pills are as useful a choice for parents as they are for anyone else. Just don't forget to take them regularly.
Is it dangerous to borrow a friends's birth control pills?
Absolutely! Birth control pills are based on your personal medical history. You and your friend have different body chemistries, so you need your own formula.

If you use the birth control pill perfectly, it is 99.7% effective all on its own. If you mess up, it is 92%. When used with the male condom it is 99.99% effective with perfect use, and 98.8% effective with typical use.

That is its intended use. However, it is not one of the most effective methods of birth control. Statistically, if a woman relies solely on the use of spermicides for a period of 6 years, she will almost certainly become pregnant at least once in that time.
Access to options for birth control and family planning may be a solution to overpopulation. Free choice of family planning methods and family size are an important component of any family planning program.
