hiya i have the bar in my arm and looking to get it out but the health clinic said ill be waiting a month to get it out
does anyone know if doctors take it out
GP should almost definitely be able to take it out, since they put them in no problem and you can get a new one put in when you get the old one removed. I'd say ring your GP and check but shouldn't be any problem with it.0 -

she will measure around your ribs under ya boobs and usually guess the cup size she goes finds you a bra and you try it on so the clerk doesnt actually see ya boobs as such just the bit clevage so do go with all ya clothes

im stuck! cnt tink of gud name wrote: »she will measure around your ribs under ya boobs and usually guess the cup size she goes finds you a bra and you try it on so the clerk doesnt actually see ya boobs as such just the bit clevage so do go with all ya clothes
They measure both around the largest part of your bust and under your bust. Based on your back size and the difference between the measurement around your bust they will establish your cup size. Then obviously you'll have to try on different bras because although they have been sized by the manufacturers, it's the same as buying a generic size 12 - how many people own clothes varying from one or two sizes above to one or two sizes below their "size"?
Stupidusername, many places where you get measured will understand the discomfort of standing in a changing room practically topless, and most will even measure over your tshirt if you're really not comfortable with being measured in your bra, although from experience most people in lingerie fitting are very nice and will put you at ease if they can, and will have seen it all before.
If they start adding inches on to your backsize, if you can fit more than two fingers under your band when the bra is on it's loosest setting in the shop, if your bra is uncomfortable and they don't listen, if you don't fill the cup and they're still insisting it fits, or if the bra doesn't rest against your breastbone, buy nothing and leave. Your underwire should run from your breast bone, under your breast the whole way into your armpit area. If it ends before your armpit you're putting pressure on breast tissue which is dodgy! (This is advice I've been given by a lingerie expert, and I used to hate wearing a bra until I followed it. Now I barely know I'm wearing it, apart from the perkiness, and the fact that my shirts no longer gape!)
I know some people swear by M&S but from personal experience, and the experience of friends, they're shocking. Arnotts used to be excellent, but it's almost a decade since I've been measured there. Brown Thomas in Limerick are alright, in Dublin are ok, no experience of Cork or Galway. Clerys was all over the place last time I was there, and I have no experience of going to La Senza or their ilk. My favourite place to get measured is a lingerie boutique called Vamp on Thomas St. in Limerick, but regardless of where you choose to get measured make sure they know what they're doing and you're comfortable with them. My suggestion would always be to go to a specialist - you will spend more time wearing a bra than not wearing a bra, and in my 17 years of experience there's nothing as uncomfortable as a bra that doesn't fit.0 -
Im sorry if there are already other topics on this but I would really like some advice on what to do!
Im 17 and I've had my period for just over 3 years and it is still incredibly irregular... sometimes it comes every 50 or so days then others it doesn't come for about 70 days, then it my come again 20 days later and it's so frustrating
I'm never prepared because I just simply can't predict it and I don't know what to do... I thought after a while your periods became regular or do I have to wait even longer for that to happen? Is this unusual or has anyone else experienced this?
Help & advice would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.0 -

Yes it's normal. My periods didn't settle down until I started taking the pill - when i was 17, my periods started when I was 12, so that was 5 years of lying on my back on a cold floor to get relief and taking useless painkillers.
Even yet I haven't found one that relieves it fully, apart from a hot whiskey or a drag of a good spliff (which is rare enough).
Anyway - best bet is to carry a pad or tampon in the wee zip pocket of your bag, although when mine comes on suddenly, reels of toilet paper does the job until greener pastures are reached.0 -

Hi,
There's not really a time frame to when your periods will regulate themselves, some people's never do.
I was the same, started my period at 14 and they were all over the place right the way up until I went on the pill at 22!!
If it's really bothersome for you maybe have a chat with your Dr. he/she might suggest going on the pill to regulate them, if it's something that you would consider.
Other than that I think you just have to wait and see.. as annoying as it is
And just make sure, as the above poster said - to carry around a tampon/pad just in case! 0 -
