Oh gosh, I know this may seem awful (and believe me...I was going to kill him at the time). It was 2 years ago and my boy friend and I were exchanging gifts on our 2 year anniversary. I got him a nice watch and he handed me a box and some jewelry cleaner. Of course I got all excited and giddy because I knew there was an engagement ring in the box. I opened it and guess what...a 25 cent ring from a gumball machine was in there. I was sooooooo pissed! I said that's it? And he said "YEP!" Then I said, "this is not an engagement ring?" and he said "I'm not ready to get married yet!" I was so mad I was about to cry. He let me think like this for about 2 hours and then he saw me cry. He said "I CAN'T TAKE IT NO MORE!!! KELLY OPEN UP THE JEWELRY CLEANER!!" I did and there was the real ring. He then got down on one knee and said "I was trying to be romantic but I screwed things up, I love you and I am sorry, will you marry me?" I wanted to kill him then but now I laugh at it. We are getting married in May! :)

Hey, I like the doctor's answer there.. (I didn't know all that!) darn, I tried it a couple times and it sure didn't trip my trigger, doc. (I think the doc's not a doctor.. he's fulla **** tho.. lol) Let me see, yeah I had this one real 'loser' boyfriend who gave me his line he "didn't want to get me pregnant.. SO the only way he'd do me was anally." (Is this too sick or what?) Oh yeah and he flippin told me he wanted to marry me (and got me a hundred buck Sears amethyst ring as an engagement ring.) Yeah.. I know.. I know.. how dumb am I, right? Think it was a good way (spend a hundred bucks) for a 'good anal ole time!' I got sick of this after about two times and booted him. I cannot imagine why anyone'd like it.. I don't know why (and apologize if this offends someone decent) but I always figured that if the guy couldn't do it the good ole baby-makin' way, the gal had too big a 'hole..' and the selfish b**tard just wanted an 'extra good squeeze.' (Yeah, I'm gross.. I said I was sorry!) later-

i did all my piercings myself...2 labrets and my tongue. and my  daughter's lip piercings...i'm not suggesting ppl do this themselves!! i did a lot of research on where to pierce according to nerve areas, etc....none of ours got infected. piercings are tender as they heal. small bumps are a sign of scar tissue forming, which is building a "base" to keep the barbell from pushing it's way out of the body (rejection of the foreign body) it sounds like you could be slightly allergic to the metal...sterling silver rarely rejects because it has natural anti-biotic properties. titanium is good too. my advice is to wash it with antibacterial soap 2-3 times a day. and use a triple antibiotic ointment. you can even use the solution they give you for ear piercings. you have to move the barbell up and down, and twist it while washing it, to make sure the entire area is getting cleansed. it's not uncommon to have a "crust" form around it...soft tissue piercings are going to be tender, and take up to a year to fully develop scar tissue and heal. try to keep clothing from pressing or rubbing against it, and allow air to get to it so that it stays as dry as possible. if the piercing site swells to double it's size, gets very red and hot, is draining a lot of pus, and you run a fever, you have an infection and need to go to the doctor for oral antibiotics. good luck with this.

Nothing to worry about-its happened to me a few time.You probably did bruise/scratch yourself at work.Put some neosporin on it and unless it gets infected just forget about it.

The alloying metal in sterling silver is often copper.  As an experiment, try wearing a copper bracelet for a bit and see if you show allergy to that.  Painting the necklace links with clear nail polish, as other responders have suggested, could help.

My wife used the Nuva ring for awhile and let me tell you, it sucks!\n\nIt is very inconvenient during sex and will often come out.  \nAlso it wasnt very effective

The most expensive gift I've ever recieved from a guy I was seeing was a diamond ring.  It was only .25 carots, white gold.  He was a drunken a**hole and after I had ditched him I gave the ring to a little girl I passed by at a fair because I felt it was bad luck to keep it.  ...I wonder if she still has it... No definately not still with him, really wouldn't mind never seeing him again.  :-)

I hope you mean the ring itself, and not the diamond.\nTake it to a jeweler.  They can put a little adjustable band thingy on it so it will fit the finger better.  That costs about $5-10.  Or they can torch the ring & actually MAKE IT smaller.  Won't work on CZ's, because they'll burst, but a good quality diamond should be able to withstand the heat used to modify the size of the ring.

Is this for an engagement ring? If so, maybe you can consider another stone, rather than an imitation. Lots of women I know have citrine, sapphire, or other stones for their engagement rings. (It was good enough for Princess Diana, though her sapphire was surrounded by diamonds.)

yellow gold and white gold are the same in the allergy department.  \nstart looking at platinum, but beware that platinum dulls very quickly and i'm not sure if jewelers can get it to shine again.\n\ngosh....i feel for you.  ask jewelers if there are any treatments for the gold that would put a barrier between your skin and the metal...maybe some kind of coating??

Diamonds can make you feel really good if they are given to you as a token of love.  \n\nI wanted to make my lady feel special so I researched to find out about diamonds so I could make the right choice.\n\nThe upshot was when I presented the engagement ring, a beautiful pear solitaire just under 3 cts with perfect cut proportions, very good clarity and colour (white to the eye).\n\nWhen I gave here the ring she burst into tears, she was so overwhelmed.  At first I thought I had done something wrong but soon realised what an effect the ring had - she now looks at the ring and thinks back to that moment.\n\nSo, are diamonds a girl's best friend, my answer is they are if they come from the guy you love.\n\nPS - buy your diamonds through reputable companies, there are some good ones on the web.  I used bestdiamonds.co.uk.  The service was amazing and (for the guys) the prices are so much cheaper than the high street.

Funny....I have been on the Nuvaring for 4 weeks now and just yesterday decided to take it out and try a different contraceptive.\n\nI had the same problem.  I could feel mine also.  My Dr told me to take a tampon applicator and push the ring up with that.  I tried that and it didnt work.  I tried pushing it up as far as I could with my own finger and still didnt work.  My husband and I had sex and when we finished it came out with him!  He said he felt like the game at the carnival with the pop bottle and the rings!  LOL  sorry had to throw that in....was too funny.\n\nAnyways, I also started to get other side effects.  Such as:\n\n*piercing headaches that Advil couldnt take away\n*sudden chills\n*emotional rollercoaster (like deppression)\n*pregnancy symptoms\n*nauseau\n*low low sex drive (which is unusual for me)\n*sharp chest pains\n\nIt was really really weried, because some of these side effects came at different times and I never put two and two together until I got on the intertnet and I started to research more on the Nuvaring.\n\nI found a helpful site where other ladies who have or who are using the ring have sent in messages to a message board.  \n\nOh yeah, and it also kept feeling like a baby kicking in my lower stomach area.  I also found out that it is another side effect.  Its called "foreign body sensation".  Weried, eh?  \n\nI was bummed because I really wanted the Nuvaring to work for me.\n\nI also read that if the ring keeps falling out and you can physical feel it when you wipe than you might have a prolapsed (drooped) uterus.  And they say you may have to try a different form of b.c.\n\nWell, good luck!

I am 45 & have had my ears pierced since I was a teenager & never had an infection but when my nephews got theirs done one was okay but the other one kept getting infections so I guess it could be an allergic reaction

It's not really that exciting of a piercing, and depending on your ta-ta's size, you may not have a choice as to what kind of ring you put in it. I have large ones, so I had posts similar to those used in the tongue. Plus, because something is always rubbing against it, it gets infected easily. I would not recommend it. I had to take mine out for surgery, and I really didn't miss them.\nI also had a below the belt piercing, and those are hot, but if you are pierced to close to a nerve you get that pain-pleasure thing, which isn't always nice. Good luck!

Yes,  I had a friend that was allergic to copper. She found out the hard way and ended up in the hospital. It would enter her system through her skin, jewelery, cooking pots, meds, she had to be very careful. This was back in the 60s. I don't recall too much about her diagnosis except that she was very ill for a while and it was do to copper.   \n\nI almost forgot,  Plastic, yes, there is an allergy to plastic gloves and now warning on Tampax too. Something to do with plastic.

I had the same thing happen. I used m/s b4 bed and woke up sweating and burning and bleeding bright red. The irritation from the monistat was worse than the infection. I called the number on the monistat package and they said it DOES happen but is uncommon. They refunded my money (save the pack and call the number) and told me to go to the gyno. By the time I got to the gyno he said it could have been the monistat or irritation from the applicator. I think it was the monistat. I'll never use it again.\n\np.s. the bleeding went away a few days after the monistat did. It has to wear out as it is in a oily base and water is useless. I used the 1 time ovule... it was a nightmare.
