Deborah E answers the question, “Is it possible I’m pregnant? I have had sex after my menstruation.”

Honey, it is possible you are pregnant. While there are times that is less likely than others, the only real way to ensure that you do not become pregnant is not having sex. In fact, even contraceptive measures such as birth control pills, with a very high success rate, does not make you immune to pregnancy, even when the pill is taken faithfully, daily.

My suggestion is that you obtain a home pregnancy kit, if you have one available in your area. Generally, they are available at drug stores and, even grocery stores, possibly some “dime stores” and corner markets. There are a wide variety of options available to you, to determine whether you are pregnant or not.

Whether the test shows positive or negative, set up an appointment to visit your doctor. In most places, the nurses and doctors will be very kind and will walk you through the testing process, as well as answering your questions regarding birth control and the most effective methods.

Deborah E answers the question, “I want to always be positive….and perceive positive thoughts. How do I do this?”

I am so proud of you, that you want to be positive! You have taken the most difficult step, already, desiring to be positive! Pat yourself on the back and here is a big hug coming your way!

I think of positive thinking as a daily, almost moment by moment process. It is not necessarily a destination, but rather a journey. There are days when it may be more difficult. But, at the same time, as we learn to see the positive in circumstances, people, our surroundings, we become accustomed to the thought process and there are actually days that it is really easy to be positive. But, we have to cut ourselves slack, knowing that, in some cases, it is a matter of re-training how we think and view things. But remember, you can’t get there if you don’t want to, which is why your desire to be positive is so essential.

Does your partner’s sleeping habits affect you and keep you up at night? Does he seem to have a sleep disorder or does he find it uncomfortable to sleep in your bedroom? If so, then chances are you may not be sleeping too well at night either. When one partner is unable to sleep well, [...]

Deborah E answers the question, “Does he have the same feelings as me? I love him but we are so far away.”

It is always difficult when you love some one so much and do not know if they have the same feelings for you, let alone if those same feelings are to the same magnitude that you have for him or her.

The most effective way to get an answer to the question of whether he has the same feelings is to ask him. While there may be signs, body language, etc. that may give you the inclination that he may have the same feelings for you, there is no magic trick that can confirm it as well as asking him directly. Even asking friends or family of his, or asking your own friends will only give their interpretation and opinion, or possibly what they have heard from him directly, but if they are able to get the answer from him directly, to relay to you, you should be able to have the same access to information directly from him.
