  2. quick birth control question

    If you looked at the history of the pill, you would find that it was only to make it more palatable to the Catholic church that it was ever cyclical to begin with. Seasonale, the 3 month pill is the same medication and dosage as Ortho Tri-cyclin jus...
  3. question about Jackson Pratt drainage

    Is he certain that it wasn't cut shorter than the standard length before he put it in? We frequently cut the drains to fit into the wound.
  4. quick birth control question

    It takes three months to get the full benefit for your skin. Curious, are you hooked on having a period every month or would every 3 months be better?

  13. Do I need to visit my Gyn??

    Are you taking tub baths? Using bubble bath or lots of soap? Have you been on antibiotics for any reason in the past few months? All these things can contribute to yeast infection. Since you are not sexually active and have had I presume at least...
  14. Labor and Del questions.

    Benzos would not be the drug of choice due to sedative effects on the baby. Epidural doesn't do much to reduce anxiety. I can't say as I have ever heard of Gestational sinus tachycardia and a web search doesn't pull anything. There is also no menti...
  15. PA to FL

    Florida is notorious for making it difficult to get health care licensure. You will not have to take the NCLEX again, but you will have to take their HIV course and deal with their waiting period and high costs. Once all that is done though it will ...
