Question 4

Question 5

i had a cold and now surrounded by a cold can i get a relapse?

Accepted Answer

Sure possible: all depends on which virus you have had a misfortune to be infected with; if its variety is same as that of the rest of your surrounding "sickies" - no chance u will get sick; if a different variety present- u may get sick again. Best thing is protect yourself with good hand hygiene and wearing a mask when feasible.
stay healthy!

Question 6

should i get a circumcision or am i too old now?

Accepted Answer

Depends: I'im assuming you're male even though the tag is "denise", females do not get circumcisions generally speaking, certainly not in this country. That said, the question is why, and what is the goal? If you're genuinely considered about health or cosmetic appearance, then you can consult a urologist. There is more healing time than as a baby, but it's possible.

Question 7

ovulating now can i get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

There's 1 more step: Yes, the time of ovulation is within the window of peak fertility.  Unprotected sex (or artificial insemination) at the time of ovulation bears with it a chance of pregnancy if both partners are otherwise fertile, which most people are.

Question 8

i am now 5'3 and my mom is 5'1 and my dad is 5'9 will i get taller?

Accepted Answer

Don't know your: Age or your gender - to know if you have completed puberty or not.  Formula for rough estimate of your height = (father's height + 13 cm) + mother's height  / with total being divided by 2.

Question 9

my roommate in a college dorm has tonsillitis, am i going to get it too now?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: You are at risk in getting tonsillitis as well.  Don't share food, cups, utensils, napkins, etc.  Practice good hygiene.  Wash your hands frequently and remind your roommate to do the same.   Make sure  your roommate covers his/her mouth when he/she sneezes or cough.

Question 10

i get my period the 18  or 20 is it okay if i start my pmsing now on the 6?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes. Typically pms symptoms present 1 - 2 weeks before your period. Pms that starts around the 6th, could mean you should expect your period around the 16th, give or take a few days. This is normal.
