What are the effects of beer on your stomach?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Because of the calories and carbohydrates.

Beers and most other alcohol products are very high in calories.

Beer is also brewed from wheat and barley, which contains high carbohydrates.

This combination of high calories and high carbohydrates is what causes the feared "beer belly".

Beer it typically consumed while relaxing, stereotypically while watching television. So there is no exercise involved after consuming it, which allows the unburnt calories and unburnt carbohydrates to be "stored" in your body, increasing weight. You don't need to consume fatty foods to gain weight.

How fast in a NHL shot?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In the NHL a good player can send a puck into the 80-90mph range, with a few extraordinary players being able to crack 100 mph. During a game, the average passing speed of the puck from player to player is around 30 to 60 mph, variable due to distance and the opposing players in the way. It is the slap shot that the above statement mentions about regarding speed.

Is it normal to have nausea backache tender breasts stomach cramps and being bloated 4 months after coming off depo provera?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hi, Unfortunately some women do continue to experience pregnancy symptoms after coming off contraceptives a lot longer than others. But all unusual symptoms after stopping/starting contraceptives need to be reported to your doctor. Most side effects should stop around 4-6 months after stopping contraceptives in usual cases but in most cases symptoms disperse within 3-4 months. See your doctor and rule out pregnancy and also have your hormones checked.

Why are my nipples sore but I still have not started my period two months after i stopped using depo provera?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I'm not sure about your nipples being sore but Depo provera is probably one of the worst birth controls to take. It is very effective, and in fact too effective. Studies have shown that after stopping Depo Provera, you can go for up to 5 years without having another period. So if you ever plan on being pregnant eventually, this is not the birth control to take. I highly recomend seeing your OBGYN and talking to them about the situation.

--Hi, i had my first and last shot on may 2008, and it was my last one because of the horrible side effects: crazy mood swings, irregular spotting, etc. Recently like..3 days ago I've been having really sore breasts and nipples! the nipples were the ones to throw me off because i never experienced anything like this before! It doesn't feel like how it used to. I was scared i was pregnant also, but i read that sore nipples are a side effect of coming off depo provera. Do you still have sore nipples??

-Hello, today is June 11th and i got my depo shot April 26th. I also didnt not get a period yet, not even a sign of spotting. I called my doctor and she said it could have worked faster than usual and stopped my period all together. some people get spotting other don't, that's also what my bfs doctor said. i took a pregnancy test and both came back negative. i am going to take one in a week just to make sure. My nipples hurt right now, have for thr past few days. ive also had minor cramps. this usually happened when i was getting my period before my depo shot. this is mt first injection.

Is it normal to have irregular periods after coming off the depo shot and is bleeding normal after intercourse?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Irregular bleeding after coming off the depo shot is common as your system is getting used to the loss of the hormones in your system. Bleeding after intercourse is usually a sign of infection. You may need to see your doctor about that. I HAD IRREGULAR BLEEDING FOR SIX MONTHS AFTER COMING OFF THE INJECTION, SO YES IT IS NORMAL I KNOW IT CAN BE VERY FRUSTRATING BUT SOME PEOPLE DONT EVEN GET A PERIOD FOR MONTHS, SO ITS A GOOD SIGN THAT YOUR BODY IS TRYING TO GET ITS NORMAL CYCLE BACK ,AS FOR BLEEDING AFTER INTERCOURSE I HAD THAT AS WELL IT MAY BE A INFECTION THATS TRUE BUT FOR ME IT WAS JUST THE WASTE FROM MY BODY, I DONT THINK YOU SHOUD WORRIE BUT THESE THINGS ARE ALWAYS BEST CHHEKED OUT IF ONLY FOR YOUR PIECE OF MIND BEST OF LUCK XXX I was on depo for about 3 years, when I started having irregular bleeding after sex I got off it, even though I didnt have an infection...it just didnt seem healthy, and I took it as a sign from my body that it was time to stop.

When will you gwt your period after getting the depo shot?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depo takes about 12 months to leave your system. Everyone womans body is diffrent from the shom. Some women get their periods throughout taking the shot, some just bleed a little and some just dont get their period at all. But it can take up to a year to get your period after coming off the shot. I know this because I just got my period today for the first time after being off the shot for 5 months. I started worrying about it and I went to see my doctor and she said it was completley normal. And just because you get your period does not always mean your obvulating either. Your body takes a couple more months after your first period to get back on track.

if you are talking about menstrual blood then yes. They aren't clots thought, they are the lining of your uterus, which is perfectly normal. If they get too heavy, you might consider a trip to the doctor just to check it out.

Is there a shot for dogs to keep them from being pregnant?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Dont Think So!!!(but would be nice) That would be called getting your girl Spayed! If that isn't what you would like to do, then you just have to be a responsible owner and keep your girl confined for the WHOLE 3 weeks she is in.

Although there is an abortion shot they can get if, you saw her tied with another dog a vet could give a shot, kinda like our morning after pill. But it is not as safe. If you are looking to breed the dog later the abortion shot is not recommeded.

It's a great Idea, but there is not one yet!

Hope that answers you question :) leavewitheasepetsitting@yahoo.com
