I am scared for the person who answered your question "i've been bulimic for years" - dont ever be cheery about having a disease - get yourself help because otherwise you will never be able to properly nourish a child while in the womb - you will probably freak out and become suicidal when you see your belly start to swell and arent well enough to be responsible for another life.

You can still get pregnant.  It sounds like you may not ovulate regularly, so you may ovulate one month and not realize it and get pregnant.  You have to be careful because you could do something harmful not knowing your pregnant because you are irregular.  Also, have you been to the doctor.....I have the same type of cycle, I have a two year old.  You may want to be checked to see if you have PCOS-polycystic ovarian syndrome...

I am a recovering bulimic and anorexic. I suffered with these disorders for 5 years and have been free of them for 2 years. Thank God! There is help! I now eat to live, not live to eat and I have a healthy relationship with food now. I personally had to go to an inpatient treatment facility because I could not stop on my own. I tried so many times to do it by myself. I'm including the link to that treatment center incase you want to check it out.\n\nhttp://www.remudaranch.com/index.asp?flash=yes

anytime you have sex with no protection you have a 100% chance of getting pregnant!! Wait to see if you miss your next cycle, most likely you will have a bun in the oven!!

YES!!!! i was anorexic and bulimic and I'm fine now. I did have to get help though, so don't think you can do it on your own!

i dont know if you are asking this about yourself or a friend...but either way i would be concerned about possible anorexia or bulimia...whether it is you or a friend...you should really see a doctor...

As a bulimic, I can tell you that I have:\ntooth enamel decay (it's painful for me to eat and drink anything that's not lukewarm), acid reflux, chest pains, anemia, swollen glands, bloating ("bulimic belly"), among other things\nFriends of mine have suffered heart conditions, electrolyte imbalances, dehydration, and low potassium. If the bulimic uses toothbrushes or spoons to purge, they can have punctures and stuff. \nIt also varies depending on the type of bulimia. A laxative abuser would have different side effects than a purger, restricter, or exercise bulimic. Distinguishing between purge-type anorexia and purge-type bulimia also changes some side effects. Also, diet pills play a major role in the long term effects.

Yes- this is very possible and the withdrawl method has a very high failure rate, as there can still be pre-ejaculate present, which contains enough sperm to result in pregnancy.

You can understand women r pregnant if they develop a bulging belly over the weeks, if they start throwing up just too often and above all if their cycle is disturbed ;)

Those anti-depressants can really affect libido and ability to achieve orgasm.  Your doctor may be able to add a small dose of wellbutrin to help that side effect.  I don't think it will necessarily affect your chance of getting pregnant though.

It is true that when you lose a lot of weigh, or starve yourself, amorrhea can occur- which is the cessation of menstruation. It happens a lot in anorexics when they lose too much weight. Like other systems in the body, the reproductive system shuts down as well -this can affect fertility. \n\nThis is not the recommended way to stop a period. You would be better off using Seasonale or one of the other types where you only have a few periods per year.

Get psychological help. It could be just talking to your doctor about the effects of bulimia. You could burn your espohagus (the tube going from mouth to stomach), you could develop ulcers, you could weaken the sphincter muscle at the top of your stomach, you could rot your teeth, you could burst blood vessels in your eyes, etc. And that's not even talking about the starvation issue. You need to find out why you're doing this so you can stop before it becomes a habit.

Sperm deep in a woman's rectum will not make her pregnant.  Sperm that manages to leak out and somehow get helped along to the vagina can get her pregnant if it can get inside her vagina and swim up.  But, like another person said, this would require some wiping that started at the butt and went to the vagina.  Most women know not to do this, because bacteria from your butt can give you an unpleasant infection in your vagina or urinary tract.  Clumsy ignorant boyfriends might wipe their girlfriends back-to-front, so I guess it's one of those things that is highly unlikely but not 100% impossible.

The problem is that you will become obsessed and not eat properly. People have been known to binge and purge several times a day. Bulimia is a serious disease with an estimated mortality rate of 10% according to the Eating Disorders Association of the UK. Other health problems associated with the disorder include:\n\n* Electrolyte imbalance, heart arrhythmia, heart failure \n* Teeth erosion and cavities \n* Sialadenosis (salivary gland swelling) \n* Potential for gastric rupture during periods of bingeing \n* Acid Reflux \n*Irritation, inflammation, and possible rupture of the esophagus \n*Laxative dependence \n*Peptic ulcers and pancreatitis \n*Emetic toxicity due to ipecac abuse \n*Potentially death \n\nIf you think you have it, seek help.

Yes- it is very possible to get pregnant this way, especially if she is near her time of ovulation.  Any contact of sperm or pre-ejaculate on or near the vaginal opening can result in pregnancy.
