If you wore a condom and it burns when you pee do you have a std?
it is certainly possible, but it is more likely that the condom's spermicide is irritating the urethrae. This happens to me all the time, if it persists for more than 24 hrs get checked.

Can you get pregnant from skipping your period using Birth Control?
Skipping your period by taking extra birth control pills or fewer placebo (sugar) pills lowers, not raises, your risk of pregnancy.
Probably not, but you may have unscheduled bleeding or spotting.
Can you develop and allergic reaction to birth control pills?
I suspect that anyone can develop a allergic reaction to any medication depending upon what the medication contains and what they are allergic to. If you suspect you have had a allergic reaction, see your Doctor.
You mean IUD. It stands for Intra-Uterine Device and is often called the coil. It's a form of birth control invented about 2,000 years ago by the Arabs. It normally consists of a piece of plastic and copper inserted into the uterus. Another variation is the Mirena coil, which contains Levonorgestrol in a plastic tube, which is released into the uterus and is the most reliable form of contraceptive currently available. Sometimes the Mirena coil is called the IUS, which stands for Intra-Uterine System. It lasts for about 5 years.
All IUDs should be inserted under proper local anaesthetic (in the form of injections into your cervix at the 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock positions) like the injections that you have for dental treatment. It the doctor or nurse offers you only lidocaine gel, go elsewhere for your birth control as it doesn't work and they'll end up scraping you off the ceiling.
Alternately, if you meant UID as you wrote, this is a dosage frequency meaning once a day (uni in die), although it is more commonly written as QD or qd.
You stopped your birth control a month ago and still no period is this normal?
I would not be concerned after a single month. Give it another month.
I was on the pill for 10 years before I went off it. We were ttc almost straight away after I came off the pill. I got my withdrawl bleeding after my last pill in the packet and then I had no period for 50 days. Spent a fortune on pregnancy tests cause was getting no period and also had pms before each period which I had never got while on the pill so was convinced that I was pregnant every time. I took about 7 or 8 months before my cycles came anywhere close to normal
Does certain birth controls make you gain weight?
Yes. There are several forms of birth control where patients have reported weight gain. Some pills and the depo shot for example.
No it is not okay. If birth control pills are not taken everyday at the same time, you will increase your chances of pregnancy. The only way for birth control to be 99.9% effective you must take your birth control everyday at the same time. If you find it difficult remembering to take your birth control as directed, you should speak to your physician about trying a different method of birth control, such as an IUD, or the Depo Vera shot. In the meanwhile find a time that is convenient for you to take your pill. Try taking your birth control everyday at 7 AM for example.
The odds are definitly against.
The world would be without humans in only a generation or two if everybody got their girls pregnant that way.
I would say you are pretty safe.

Up to what age can woman become pregnant?
A woman can get pregnant up to age (approximately) 50 without help as in hormone treatments and artificial methods. This is individual and do depend a bit on when the menopause "kicks" in.
Some woman even get pregnant naturally even after the menopause have started but this is not very common. This just to tell that a woman is not considered sterile even after starting menopause.
However:
A woman should try to have children before the age of 40. There are for most woman increased difficulty in becoming pregnant after this age.
Downs Syndrome is also increasingly more commonly found in babies born by "older" women. The percentage of babies born with Down syndrome slowly increase after age of 40.
It is very well possible for older woman (after 50) to become pregnant, but this would include hormonal treatment and egg from a donor.
If you miss 2 days in a row, you should discontinue use of the pack and contact your doctor. You will have to do the Sunday start or a new cycle start to make the birth control work effectively.
What if your partner feels your IUD strings during intercourse?
It's not unusual for the partner to feel the strings during the first week after insertion. After that, the heat and moisture in a woman's body makes them softer and unnoticable. If he's still feeling them after a week or so, contact your health care provider to discuss possible options to solve the problem. Sometimes the strings are just the wrong length - an easy problem to fix with a quick visit.
Why is crystal called a family of agile methods?
mahdi rohani.
Alistair Cockburn has long been one of the principal voices in the agile community. He developed the Crystal family of software development methods as a group of approaches tailored to different size teams. Crystal is seen as a family because Alistair believes that different approaches are required as teams vary in size and the criticality of errors changes.
Despite their variations all crystal approaches share common features. All crystal methods have three priorities: safety (in project outcome, efficiency, habitability (developers can live with crystal). They also share common properties, of which the most important three are: Frequent Delivery, Reflective Improvement, and Close Communication.
The habitability priority is an important part of the crystal mind-set. Alistair's quest (as I see it) is looking for what is the least amount of process you can do and still succeed with an underlying assumption of low-discipline that is inevitable with humans. As a result Alistair sees Crystal as requiring less discipline that extreme programming, trading off less efficiency for a greater habitability and reduced chances of failure.
Despite Crystal's outline, there isn't a comprehensive description of all it's manifestations. The most well described is Crystal Clear, which has a modern book description. There is also a wiki for further material and discussion of Crystal.
