Salam alaikum, I would like to know if Tubal ligation is haraam or not ? If you do not know what this is ... it's a surgical procedure to cut or tie the Fallopian Tubes in the woman's productive organ. This procedure is to stop any further pregnancies ( cannot procreate with the tubes being cut or tied). And I was wondering if it's haraam or not to get such surgeries. I am due to give birth in about 2 weeks from now, and I have a son who is a little over 2 years old. I also have a stepson who

I have been using the birth control pill for a little over a month now. I didn't take 3 of my pills and started my period, and very stupidly had unprotected sex? Is their any possible way that by me doing that something could happen?

Me and my boyfriend are very sexually active, but im on birth control, though I admit I sometimes forget to take it at the same time everyday. Lately Ive been having frequent headaches, cramps, lower backaches, and slight breast soreness. I had some brown spotting a few days before my period which Ive never experienced before while on the pill, and my period is very light this week to the regular heavy period, plus I have a loss of appetite and loss interest in some of my favorite foods. I do

I stopped taking birth control over two months ago. My first period was normal and what I expected. This month, my period is very light and has lasted almost two weeks off and on. I've taken two pregnancy tests. Both said negative. Also, before taking birth control, my periods were irregular anyway. Is this just because my body is getting used to working without the birth control pills?

I am 17 and have been on loesterin 24 for nearly a year now. This month I spotted heavily for about a week before I was due for my period. I was supposed to get my period sunday, but it never came. I start a new pill pack tonight. I am still spotting very very lightly but i dont think it constitutes as a period. I have had a boyfriend for 2 years and we are always very careful and use condoms plus my birth control. I never miss pills, but did mess up the timing once this month by half a day (t

Last month I stopped using birth control. My boyfriend and I are now using condoms, however sometimes he will just put it in without a condom but not for long cuz it feels better that way. I'm 2 days late for my period and now today i realized I have brown spotting on my underwear and for the last few weeks my breasts have been tender. Could this be because its the beginning of pregnancy or because my hormone levels have changed after going of B.C? Thanks.

Im on Necon birth control pills. I started my last period on Aug. 30th, but cut it short because i was supposed to go to the beach and didnt want to be on it. So i started a new pack on Sept. 2nd and doubled up on a few days so it would stop. Then on Monday the 6th I had sex and he ejaculated in me without a condom. Now I'm worried I'm pregnant even though I'm on the pill and I've been having sharp pains in my lower abdomen. Are they just caused by stress? Could I be pregnant? And can I

it's been a year and a couple days after my missed birth control shot. I got taken advantage of and since then I have been peeing a lot and my UPPER stomach hurts and growls like I'm hungry when I'm not. The shot packet said it can take months or years since you can get pregnant after a missed shot. I've had my period and it was literally the day after I got off that it happened. Can it happen then? :( I'm really freaking out at this but another question, how early can an abortion be pos

i have been taking birth control for 5 years now. after my body finally got used to it i could tell you the time of day and what day i would start my period is was usually the 2nd or 3rd green pill. well this past period my period wasnt until the 5th day i didnt bleed my normal amount. well i went to my brothers his wifes sister just had a baby and i spent about an hour holding her and it just felt right like i want to have a baby so bad but its just not the right time to. i want nothing more

I am running a teen pregnancy prevention program and we are looking for a slogan for kids. We focus on preventing youth from being infected by an STD as well as teach where they can receive services to birth control. I want to make wristbands for the kids that participate in our program. but can't think of what to write on them. Like tobacco prevention programs have, Smoke and Croak. Or tobacco free girl/guy. And recently breast cancer awareness came out with "I love Boobies"... Any ideas for

I already have 3 children and was trying for a 4th for a whole year without success. My periods used to be regular but have gone irregular about two years ago. Anyway they would come every 35 days than every 2 months, than it became 3 months. I went to the ob about 4 months ago and he gave me a prescription of Provera, he didn't give me an ultrasound or take any tests before prescribing it to me. Well I took it and it worked by bringing on my periods for May and June. I haven't had a period si

i am doing a very important project for school on birth control. i need help with the unintended pregnancy rates, by year (2000-2010). can someone find me a chart on a website pr something! i just need the year and the percentage! please and thank you!

I am watching a documentary about women who dont know until birth that they are having twins... One woman was in her 2nd pregnancy and decides she knows enough to have an unassisted home birth, with no-one else present except her partner... The only labour experience she has is as a mother, no medical training... Her hubby doesnt have a clue what to do, she is directing him as best she can, she delivers a footling breech 6 weeks early, then realises another baby is coming, again breech and she

ok well I know none of ya'll are an actual doctor but based on what I am about to write would you say I'm just coming down with a cold or are these pregnancy symptoms. well I thought I was pregnant about 4 weeks ago but this was before my period, I got my period a week later but it was extremely light and lasted only 3 days. I am taking birth control but have forgotten to take it at the same time or even at all due to having a couple of extra things on my mind this month. I have started gettin

so i delivered a week ago and so far my healing has been going well. i don't have much pain to speak of and i still have two stitches down there from my delivery, but i am now having a lot of itching. i've had yeast infections a couple times in the past before my pregnancy and i can tell this is what it feels like. is it common to have yeast infections after birth or do you think it's just all my hormonal changes? should i call my doctor for a prescription?

Q:1 When is the best time to get pregnant Q:2 I'm on birth control right know but once i go off does that help you get pregnant faster when you first go off. Q3: What are some other ways to get pregnant

I took next choice after 72 hours of unprotected sex, the condom broke. I never had to take this pill before, so I'm new to this pill. my period started on the 16 of August and I had unprotected sex on the 25 of August, I took the pill on the 27th of August before 8 pm, that is the time that the unprotected sex happen. I waited about 8 days before I took a pregnancy test, and it came out negative. I did call next choice and explained everything to them, but I'm still very concern, today is the

I'm 17 and sexully active. I started using the pill after I got pregnant when I was 15(I had to get an abortion b/c of complications w/ health of pregnancy). I been on the pill soo long it seems, I don't hve trouble taking pills, I never forget and I've never had bad side effects. I just want something new.

I am on the birth control Apri, and I missed two days. My boyfriend and I had sex(unprotected at first, but then we used a condom) I took my birth control right after. Can I still get pregnant even though I took it directly after we had sex?

Ok, so we have been trying for a baby. I have been off birth control for 4-6 months. My cycle is USUALLY 28 days with a few exceptions at times. My last period started August 15th and I counted 14 days for ovulation and was ovulating around the 28th. I was checking my basal body temperature and believe that I was ovulating around the 28th. We had unprotected sex on the 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th and many days after that. He came in me every time and I lade down 15-30 min every time. Ye

I got an umbilical hernia this last january when i was 5 months pregnant with my daughter. i needed emergency surgery because it was incarcerated, but they didnt put mesh over it becasue of the fact that i was pregnant and still getting bigger, there was a high chance of it breaking back through and the mesh would have made it reallu painful if it broke through. well the syptoms i had with the first one were severe pain and couldnt have a bowel movement. i am not longer pregnant )gave birth 4

So my boyfriend and I never use condoms and im not on any birth control Anyways, about a week and a half after sex I had diarrhea for 2 days straight which I read some women have that as an early sign. Shortly after that I got a yeast infection which I've never had before and after using monistat1 I had a pink discharge but it was literally as big as a pea and that's all I had. My period is usually irregular but last month this time I was already finished with it and it hasn't started yet. Yes

Maybe some of you have experienced what I'm experiencing and tell me what the heck is going on. :) When my husband and I have sex it burns really really bad if he ejaculates in me. If he pulls out or if he uses a condom it's fine though. We've been married for a long time though and it didn't start happening until I became pregnant. (I'm 19 weeks pregnant) And it didn't happen with my other two pregnancies so I don't know what's causing it. Also, it hurts and I feel a lot of pressure down th

Hello ladies, With my last pregnancy(sadly ended in preterm birth at 23 weeks) I weighed 156 pounds. I'm a very thick woman big thighs and everything LOL well when I got pregnant my doctor told me to lose weight! Each time I gained like 3 pounds he would say "Have you been eating a lot? Remember I prefer to have my patients on the thinner side" - I had to give up on all my cravings just to make him happy. I don't know if this is just wrong because I'm not even fat! I'm just thick..But I don't

At 21 weeks into my pregnancy I develop a fungus on my neck and chest drs couldn't explained why or how I got it, It was treated with Selsun Blue shampoo (using it as a body wash) for about a week. At 24 weeks and 4 days I developed a rash called PUPPP, last about 2 week, after trying every anti-itch cream in the pharmacy including Benadryl, Econazole cream and an Acetonide ointment prescribed by my dermatologist and 3 visits to the ER, nothing I used helped it was just getting worse. My las

I know this may not be the right place but I know I can get more answers here I live in England and I come across questions to do with pregnancy from America and I'm confused and surprised on how different each country deals with pregnancy. England we don't pay for insurance nor do we get checked for cervix and dilation before due date unlike America Its just weird to me that even though they are 2 different countries but also pregnancy is so different to. We have a midwife, health visitor a

So my boyfriend and I never use condoms and im not on any birth control we use the pull out system lol. Anyways, about a week and a half after sex I had diarrhea for 2 days straight which I read some women have that as an early sign.

My bf and I had anal sex almost 3 weeks ago, I'm not on birth control and he didn't wear a condom. My period is coming up in about a day or so, but I've started to get slight cramping, which I've read is a sign of pregnancy when there's no menstrual blood. I need help :(

Hello all... I am nearly 38 weeks pregnant and today i have started to get the worse dull back ache ever!! I am bouncing on my birthing ball and do not want to get off... when i need to get off for a wee it is so uncomfortable down there that walking the 10mtrs to the bathroom feels like a lifetime. The pain in my back is dull and very painfull with the occasional sharper pain in my pelvis and sides. The baby isnt moving as much but i am measuring a lot bigger so i have put this down to lack

My Mother & I have done the math, and if I was to be pregnant I'd be about one month now and I had sex when I was ovulating. I took a pregnancy test and it said negative, but she said it could be because that pregnancy hormone wasn't in my urine long enough to be detected at that time, and to do it in the morning. So I did, but this stupid digital test broke and now I don't know. Background information. I have PCOS, and on birth control, but my other medications interfere and lessen the effec

I really don't like the idea of using birth control, because of all the side effects. But after all my failed attempts at controlling acne, I'm wondering if maybe regulating my hormones could help. Right now I'm pregnant and it's made my skin go crazy. Maybe I have hormonal acne? But I'm wondering for after my pregnancy, is there a birth control out there that will help my skin, but won't have to worry too much about side effects like weight gain or heart/stroke issues?

Hi, I would just like to get some peoples opinions on how to approach this matter. I am due to give birth to my first in 2 weeks. Unfortunately, the house we were supposed to be moving into won't be ready for another month or two so I will be staying with my mother until it is ready. Now, mine and my partners big issue is visitors/busy bodies. Our reason for not wanting visitors as soon as we come home is because we are young, first time parents and want time to bond with this baby, just the

im a rhesus negative mum to be, 3rd child, and although this is my third time around i can never remember having 2 anti d injections during my pregnancy. i thought it was only 1 being pregnant and then another one after the birth. i was reading my pregnancy book and it said i should be offered another 1 at 34 weeks, iv already had my first at 28 weeks. im 35 weeks pregnant. should i contact my midwife asap and ask. my next app with her is on the 17th of this month. havnt even got a direct cont

Im 33.5 weeks pregnant and my sciatica has gotten so bad (didnt have it before I got pregnant) to the stage where I cant get up by myself :( Ive had Physio, Chiropractor and tomorrow im trying Accupuncture. Im upset because my midwife says I may needs an epidural because of the pain, and I want a natural birth. Any helpful hints to help the pain???

I am 21 years old and I have had an irregular period since I got it when I was 11. When I was younger it was fairly regular but since 2006 I have had a lot more trouble. I do not have insurance and I am living on a working students income. I also am married and have been for 3 years now. In the past two year the problems I have been having with my period are thus: at first it would come very lightly for about 2-3 days. Then it would stop entirely for 3-5 months. This continued this way on an

Im 7 and half weeks pregnant.. I know im a lil early to just be thinking this lol cuz I got til April! But this is my first pregnancy & im really scared of giveing birth! I cant handle pain.. I heard its the worst pain you will ever have.. I wonder if im going to be able to not go in a panic attack because of me worrying so much when they day comes! & to make worse it worse I watched my friend have her baby a couple of months ago and she got an epideral and was still screaming! Thats another t

I would love the opinions of any of you who are vets or vet techs or just have a lot of experience with dogs. First of all, I HAVE taken her to the vet. Unfortunately my wonderful vet of 10 yrs retired and I had to go to this new vet who just couldn't wait to get us out of there and barely looked at my dog. So the problem is that my dog had a litter of 8 puppies about 11 weeks ago and every day she looks more and more gaunt and fragile. She looks so skinny it scares me. She has completely lost

its a day before my period and im on birth control but he didnt pull out.. what are my chances of getting pregnant? my period should come still tomorrow right?

I'm seventeen, and I've only been sexually active for about three months (since June). I've also only been keeping track of my cycle since I started having sex (for three months, since June), but it looks like my cycle has been about 31 days each time. My boyfriend and I have only done it maybe ten times total, and a condom was used every time. I am not on birth control, and the last time we had sex (August 23), my boyfriend didn't have a condom on for part of the duration. We've done that be

I could really use some help. My last period was May 1st of this year. I have taken several home tests that have all come out positive, but the blood tests have been negative. I have had all of the symptoms of pregnancy and haven't used any form of birth control with my fiance. If I am pregnant I would be about 18.5 weeks pregnant. Today, I started having a little spotting. Is this my period finally coming, or a possible miscarriage?

Are there different levels of how affective the pill is to prevent a pregnancy? Sometimes birth control is used to clear up acne, regulate a period, or get rid of unwanted hair. I just started ocella (off brand of Yasmin) basically to regulate my cycle and stop the unwanted hair but is is still affective as a BIRTH control? Thanks for any answers!!

okay so i have a friend and she is freaking out. she had sex while she was pregnant over the summer. no condoms, no birth control, no nothing. he went inside her all the time. the day she found out she miscarried, they had sex about 2 times.she now has a belly, not much but it's there. she had a very very light period lasting about a whole month. she has all the signs of pregnancy, even the belly. but she has no idea what to think. is she, or is she not?
