Stupid female question- wayy stressed, deffinately not pregnant, but late.?

Right..
well the title kind of explains it.
I started a new waitressing job about two months ago.. well a month and a half.
and now I'm about 6 days late. Which is NOT good, because my long distance relationship partner is coming to visit in like a week and a half, and I really REALLY don't want to be moody and all that.. gross stuff while he's here.
I am 10000000% positive I am not pregnant. Unless i'm the next immaculate conception.. but yeah..
It has to be stress..
is there anything I can do to well.. speed up the process, or at least get it going?

I have all the symptoms of pms- mood swings like no bodies business, cramps, sore breasts and extreme fatigue..

Gaah I'm so at a loss here.. idk what to do.
No I'm not on any kind of oral contraceptives.I'm actually non sexually active. I dont take any over the counter medications, or perscriptions, I take womens vitamins with folic acid and iron.
I was checked for possible thyroid problems about three months ago- no blood work.. the doctor just told me it was very highly unlikely.
but yeah
any sugguestions.. PLEASE?!

thaaankk you..

Experience with Neural Tube Defect or AFP Test?

I'm 21 weeks pregnant and my doctor called me today with the results of my AFP (alpha fetaprotein) test and told me that they indicated my baby is positive for a neural tube defect (my AFP level was elevated). She also told me that there are alot of false positives with this test and the rate of false positives is 1 in 75. I have no history of neural tube defect in my family, I am 20 years old, my husband is 22 and has no history of this in his family, I was taking prenatal vitamins with folic acid for three months before I conceived, and my doctor did not notice any abnormalities in the baby at my 19 week scan. Does anyone have a similar experience or any information on neural tube defects or false positives with an AFP blood test in the second trimester that they can share? I'm really worried and I cannot get in to have a high definition ultrasound until next Wednesday. Any information would be highly appreciated!

22" HairDo Synthetic Straight by Jessica Simpson Hair Extensions?

I have been trying to grow my hair out for months. I've tried the healthy diets, the vitamins, and just plain waiting, but it's only grown two inches in the past three months. I want to go back to school with a long look that is also very versatile. So, I looked up the Jessica Simpson extensions that everyone's been raving about. They're eighty dollars for the 22" straight ones. Now, I don't mind spending that much money on them, but I have a few questions for anyone who has bought them.

1) Do you have to buy a few of them, or will one take care of your whole head? Cause I'm not into buying 200 dollars worth of extensions.
2) Are they dyeable? Cause I dye my hair a lot.
3) How do you like yours? Do they look good and real? Did they stay in all day and can you put them up?

This is me now.

how do you find a Doctor who will help you lose weight in Missouri, not just tell you that you should?

I had a histerectomy three years ago and it caused my metabolism to basically stop. I started gaining weight almost immediatly. i tried everything, to no avail. then a classmate told me about a doctor in a near by town. he put me on a weight loss plan that included monthly visits, vitamin b injections, and a perscription. within a short time i was feeling better, i had energy, was finally sleeping, and most of all i was losing weight. recently his wife became very ill. he announced he was going to retire, and close his clinic. he gave his patients three months to find another doctor. well its been 7 months and i still cant find a doctor who will do any more than tell me that it would be beneficial for my long term health if i lost weight. isnt that a kick, since i always write on the line reason for your visit line: weight loss. not to mention that those are the first words out of my mouth when they come in and ask "so how can i help you today'.
I've received several answers regarding the need for proper diet and exercise. so let me add to the question i am already working with a personal trainer and following the diet that my original doctor set up. doing these things has enabled me to stableize my weight. i am not however losing any.
when my doctor retired he was also unable to find a physician was willing to continue his program.
