yes of course, ill always back up with condoms no matter how long ive been in a relationship :) is there an online database that categorises possible interactions? ive found several reliable resources written by the government health sector which seem to give a pretty good list of things that do or ...

hey guys :) just wondering if you can point me in the right direction... im looking for some information on potential interactions between nexplanon and a thrush treatment called 'clotrimazole', also known as canesten? the reason im asking is because ive had a little bit of thrush, and when i went t...

Hi guys :) so ive got a question for you all here at scarleteen... this guy ive been seeing recently informed me that, although I already knew his mum was quite unwell, she actually isn't well at all, she has cancer. this was a bit of a shock to me, as you can imagine, and she is getting an op on We...

thanks for the suggestions guys!! :) you're right, I haven't known him very long at all, soo I'm still learning what he likes and doesn't like. I guess I feel a bit pressured because he's now bought me three gifts 'just because', and I haven't bought him anything yet!! :( I just don't want him to th...

Hi guys :) soo just an update...things are going pretty well for me atm, im in regular person to person counselling and...I found someone!! and we are in an official relationship now :P things are truly amazing, not least because im finally recovering from all that's gone on over the past two years....

aah I really like that design!! any meaning behind it? I was going to get some lyrics from the Pink song 'Try': "just because is burns doesn't mean youre gona die, you got to get up and try try try' might sound abit soppy but that song spoke to me when I was in a very dark place and I use that ...

Hi guys!! just thought id jump in on this as I am also thinking of getting a tattoo :) I was having trouble thinking of where to get it on my body: like you NiteHawk, id need it to be somewhere that wasn't visible to the extent that it would affect my job chances and looking professional. soo I was ...

I've managed to start proper counselling, as in face to face, therapy!! not a crisis line :) I know this will be a relief to many of you volunteers here at scarleteen haha ;) I already feel so positive, and finally feel a sense of inner peace I haven't known for a very long time. Thankyou to all of ...

Heather, you make an interesting point that not everyone with breasts chooses to breastfeed or even have children!! So I suppose in a way that does sort of, to some people, give them more than one purpose, for example being sexual things rather than just for procreational purposes. I definitely thin...

That is a very good question!! Personally, for me, I feel that they are; I mean, in western culture, in the media and fashion and whatever they are often made a feature of outfits (e.g. low cut dresses and tops, or bikinis, and underwear) and you see them pretty much everywhere these days on adverts...

Hi!! sorry I'm a bit late back with a reply :) Heathers right, its counter productive to focus on irrational pregnancy fears :) but yes, I was exactly the same. I'm glad to hear you're with a therapist to help you through this, I really do feel that it is the best road to recovery in situations like...

I was in exactly the same position as you until very recently!! if you have any questions on coping mechanisms or anything feel free to ask me it does get easier, trust me! X

five years ago...! wow, that's a while. I turned twenty last Saturday, so, lets see...I would have been fifteen!! :O Really, at that time, I was focused on starting my GCSEs, and getting into college to do A Levels. To be completely honest, I never though in a million years I'd ever have a boyfriend...

to be honest i dont understand, especially regarding the second question... i am merely seeking information from you all at scarleteen who could offer me an opinion on something im really not sure about, you all know about pregnancy tests and you work in the field, i just thought i could get some fa...

what would your opinion be on the two questions regarding the tests? firstly, why didn't the first one work? is it possible i had so much HCG it messed up the test? secondly, is it safe to trust the second test even though it was in the same pack as the first, defective one? I've just emailed her to...

okay so im abit scared and i hope you can help, i dont think my counsellor can...i needd someone who knows about pregnancy tests. i just took one, but no lines appeared in either window, like nothing appeared. and you can usually see the urine move up the windows in this particular brand, so that te...

Hello :) (I'm not sure this topic belongs in this forum, but I figured its about my body so I hope its okay..? feel free to move :)) So, since the last time I was round here, I've decided to make some changes. the first one being to start really focusing on myself, and forget about dating for the mo...

ill tell you what it is, and I only worked out what it is a few days ago. i'm terrified of getting help because i'm scared of what ill be left with in my life without anxiety...not much. anxiety latched onto me and just grew and grew now its such a big part of my life, a part of me, I cant imagine l...

ill tell you whats really bothering me, and I know you cant help me with my anxiety disorder and youll tell me to seek out counselling but this is weighing heavy on my mind and heart and I just need to vent. im scared something sexual happened when I was asleep and ill be pregnant. I cannot tell you...

i dont think i came across as desperate or fearful at all, i did my best to hide any fear. too, i never once asked if we were official or in a relationship, his dad was introducing me to all his friends as his girlfriend, and the guy, when anyone asked if we were official, said yes. not once did i s...

I've had some time to think about what happened, but I just cannot seem to reconcile with myself his reasons. in his words, "I've just been thinking about us really, don't know if I feel a spark between us." if that is the case, why introduce me to your family, invite me to be your plus on...

im just so numb and cant function properly. i did not see it coming. he said he wasnt sure if he felt a spark between us. i did. i just want him back, i dont want to be single again

in shock.
in the last hour this guy ive been seeing told me theres no spark. its over. im in shock.

just an update... I took a pregnancy test today for various reasons, mostly to do with the fact im just going through a bad phase with my anxiety, ive been feeling okay the past few weeks so a comedown was expected :( don't worry I haven't gone back on my word not to have sex until im ready again! i...

well, I've just been offered the chance to deliver some training to the rest of the team at my work, which is pretty exciting!! :D gives me something else to focus on, and who knows where It'll go?? Also.. I'd just like to say I've been trying to be strong willed when it comes to doing sexual things...
