Fertility Question..previous pregnancies gone wrong??

I have had one blighted ovum and one miscarriage, I know I’m able to get pregnant, but keeping them is a problem. I was hoping that someone would be able to help me out by recommending a good NATURAL fertility enhancer/support product?

Has anyone used a product called lerosett for acne during pregnancy?

Anyone recommend anything else that is natural and safe?

thankyou!

Do you think doctor care during pregnancy is important?

I have heard of a lot of women who decline doctor care when pregnant. Their excuse is they want it ‘completely natural” and that “women have been having babies without doctors for centuries”. My opinion is, while they did have babies without docs for a while, there were also more still borns and dead mothers. I just don’t understand why someone would decline a doctor (or midwife), tests, ultrasounds, and anything possible to ensure that their baby is born healthy. I’m not talking about women who use midwifes or the ones who do home births in general, but the ones who don’t care to see anyone. This makes no sense to me when research has shown that proper medical care is essential to a healthy delivery and newborn. Anyway, for those of you who decline medical help, I just want to know your reasoning and opinions.

Oh, and on a side note, I taught my almost 4 month old how to high five. lol. Now if you hold up your hand and say “give me five” she smacks your hand. lol. So cute!
Do your own thinking. I never agree with your answers BTW. So routine testing didn’t help me to find out I had bad kidney problems and kidney stones while pregnant? And a kidney infection that layed silent with no symptoms that almost caused me to go into preterm labor at 27 weeks? That kind of useless urine test that my doctor did?
I think it’s funny that the people who’s answers I NEVER agree with are the ones saying no doctor care is just peachy. I am glad to see that most of the women on here agree with me and went the safe route. Honestly, why would you risk your baby’s health for ANY reason.
And mystic, I hate the long copy and paste crap you always do. From now on, if you answer one of my questions, please refrain from doing it. I am MORE than capable of looking up my own facts and doing my own research. I really don’t need someone I disagree with doing it for me. Thank you.

Is it normal for a teenage girl to feel this way?

I’m 14 and I had a dream last night that the school had an outbreak of STD’s and a dramatic increase of teen pregnancy, so everybody was forced to take a pregnancy test. Even though I was a virgin, it somehow came up positive. Well, I thought my dream was rather odd and didn’t think anything of it.

Then throughout the day, I kept thinking about children and I noticed pregnant women and children everywhere I went. Then I was like “I want a baby.” even though I knew I wouldn’t be emotionally or financially stable. [I’m NOT going to have a baby at 14! I’m not stupid enough to bring a child into this world INTENTIONALLY at such a young age.] I realized how silly that must sound coming from a 14 year old and tried to ignore the idea. Well, I realized that while I was on my night time walk, I had my right hand resting on my belly like most pregnant women do.

About 30 minutes ago, while I was on the phone with my friend, I started rubbing my belly and wondered how it felt being pregnant. My sister has a “female problem” [I’m not sure exactly what it’s called] where she has two uteri and the lining has a hard time coming out during her time of the month. It builds up inside her uteri and she can’t conceive. She’s tried invetro and natural pregnancy, but she still can’t keep the baby. I really want to be pregnant and for my sister to have a baby, so I would like to be a surrogate mother. That way she could finally have a baby! Is it normal for me to want to have a baby and be pregnant? Is it possible for me to be a surrogate for my sister in a few years when I’m 16-17?

Has the pill given women a false impression about fertility?

When taking the pill, it is stressed how easily you could become pregnant with just one little slip.

Many women take their pill religiously, worried that a slight mistake or a forgotten pill means a baby will be made.

In actual fact, if you think back to older days, women did have spaces between kids, and if pregnancy was so easily achievable, married couples would have many, many children.

It seems it is nature’s way to prevent women from conceiving immediately and constantly.

So has the pill given us all false hopes of instant families? Should we realise that it does take time, and if we have to wait a few months or years, it is a natural thing?

I am not saying this make it any easier! Just asking if the pill has given us a false impression?

I have only gained 10lbs and I’m in my 9th month, Is this normal?

I am 9 months pregnant and have only gained 10lbs.When I got pregnant I weighed 97lbs. I currently weigh 107 and I’m due June 25th. I had Thyroid cancer at 19 and hat my whole thyroid removed. I am now on medicine for this that I have to take daily. When I found out I was pregnant I wasn’t taking it as needed. As soon as I found out I was pregnant I started taking my medicine as should. I have always struggled to gain weight. Im a natural skinny woman. I am 5″2 and am 23 years old. My entire family is small but they all gained more weight in their pregnancy‘s. I have spoken with my doctor about this on many occasions but he always reassures me that everything is fine. I really want to believe and trust in my doctor but in the back of my mind something just does not seem right. Any suggestions, answers, opinions would be greatly appreciated.

problems conceiving?

I’ve had 3 ectopic preg’s i’ve been told i have 50/50 chance of conceiving a natural birth, with only 1 tube left i am waiting for IVF treatment. I still want to try and see if can be successful with the remaining tube but im worried of the outcome do you know anyone who is or have been in a simular position? or anyone who has been successful after having an ectopic pregnacy

Is IVF and other forms of fertility treatments ethical?

This is not a statement about my personal beliefs, just something I was pondering…
Whether you believe in God or in evolution, wouldn’t artificial ways of reproducing go against your personal beliefs?
If you follow the Bible, wouldn’t it be up to Him if and when you conceive? And please don’t try to argue that God gave the doctors the knowledge, because the Bible clearly states that knowledge came into the world when man fell in the Garden of Eden. When Adam and Eve partook of from the tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. (Gen 2:17)
And if you believe in evolution, wouldn’t it go against natural selection?
I’m just curious where others stand on this issue.

Should we keep on trying to get pregnant?

It’s been 2 years by natural methods and about 1 year under metformin and 2 months on clomide. We discover that I suffer from PCOS and I don’t ovulate.This next month is our last tray with Clomid because the Doc doesn’t do more than 3 treatments. I’m exhausted and feeling on the way to depression, my husband tells me not to loose my hope, he sees our baby in any little girl, he is dying to have a baby. I want to adopt if the 3rd try doesn’t work, with our own baby or not I still want to adopt, he is not against but sometimes I think he really deserves a fruit of love like that one. Should I just give up…I don’t want to go with IVF and spend all that money, am I selfish for not want to keep on trying?
I just think there is so many kids that need somebody to love them.
If i had the money I would adopt 10 kids!!!

Fertility Treatments?

My friend Sarah has been trying to get pregnant fo about 19 months with no luck.

She has been to the doctor who keeps saying that after 24 months he will look in to putting them on fertility treatment. But, she doesn’t want to go through the gruelling medical treatment and would prefer to go for natural therapies. She has looked in to a few (i don’t know the full details) and so far no luck.

She would like to have twins also (a perk of IVF) incase she has trouble falling pregnant again. Has anyone had any good experiences or know of good fertility treatments that don’t need a prescription?

I feel really bad around her lately as I am pregnant with my second so any good news I could give her would be great!

When to test for pregnancy after a miscarriage ?

I had a natural miscarriage 12 days ago.
I was 5 weeks so there were no complications of anything.
Me and my boyfriend have started trying again yesterday and will continue to do so for another 3 weeks (Just to be sure when I ovulate)

So my question is when should I do a pregnancy test?
(Im showing negative at the moment as Im back to normal with HCG levels)

How long after a miscarriage will a home pregnancy test be accurate?

I was 7 weeks along when I had a miscarriage, everything was natural, no d&c. It has been about 5 weeks since the start of the miscarriage (it lasted about a week) I took 2 home pregnancy tests yesterday and they both came out positive, could this be because my hcg levels are still up from the miscarriage or is it more likely that I am pregnant?

Would pregnancy test come up positive?

I had a natural miscarriage on May 10th. The past week I’ve had a lot of pregnancy symptoms, but pregnancy test is coming up negative. Would it come up positive, it will be 7 weeks post miscarriage Monday; no period yet. I’ve never had regular periods… Please help.

Does Wondfo pregnancy test strip accurate?

Hey i recently bought a Wondfo pregnancy test strip. Just wondering if its accurate? And the packaging says its for intro vitro use and i m trying to conceive in a natural way.. Is it accurate when the the test is for intro vitro?

Pelvic Floor Dysfunction cures NEEDED!?

I have pelvic floor dysfunction. I have hernias from lifting too much weight during pregnancy. I also have torn ligaments. This causes intense pain and heaviness. Also I have uterine prolapse because of it. I am healthy. I am a runner. I do kegals and stomach strengthening exercises regularly. I do not eat inflammatory foods. It has been over a year scince these problems started. I have seen many doctors and they have said theres nothing I can do about it. I cannot wear pants because they put too much pressure on my abdomen. I know there have got to be some natural remedies for this. Would a comfrey compress help? Slippery elm? How do I put my abdomen back together? Surgery and proper health care is not an option. Not explaining that because it’s complex but it’s not an option. If you can help, please do!!

Herbal remedies to help labor?????

This is my frist pregnancy and I’m 35 weeks along. I know its natural for the first one to be late etc etc but I still want to be aware of the natural herbal teas and capsules available out there that supposedly help your body get ready for labor. I know some women swear by these, some are totally against them. And yes I know that the best decision is telling your doctor. With all that said I want to know from any of you which ones you recommend, the dosage and week to start if you have it, and what they do OR which ones you don’t recommend and why. Thanks!

How do you politely as can be, say no to a very pushy family friend ?

I have a long time family friend that is selling Wildtree products. She is a church patron, a family friend, and long ties related to me through a cousin of a cousin kind of thing. Her mom and my dad are friends. So anyway. She is pushing pushing pushing. First it was Natural Toys then Mary Kay. i was able to skirt that for a long time. NOW its WildTree stuff. Which is obviously a Pyramid scam. I hate that crap and normally would chew out anyone that offered it to me. So anyway I want to be nice and stop this in its tracks right now. Whats the NICEST way to tell her its a scheme, a fraud and I DONT want it. Dont ask again.
I am asking for these suggestions because, I was recently told I am too hormonal due to pregnancy, over active cause I drank coffee, and too abrasive. So I need help.
funny thing is I PLAINLY said no 2 times. She questions me as to why. I have a urge to go through a tirade with charts, and graphs and a marching band as to WHY. Though Shes not getting it. I need a new approach.
thanks Holly at least you get my abrasive humor on occasion though a few times I go overboard.
Is it safe to assume Jm E that your a guy? thanks for the vote of confidence and the suggestions. I a seriously thinking of writing it in the snow with dog pee on her front lawn, but I am turning a new leaf and being nice and cheery for the holidays. No more mistaking me for the pregnant, coffee drinking, baby endangering ogre that some people have painted me as today.

Should a baby born as the result of a botched partial birth abortion be allowed to die by denying care? Obama?

A partial birth abortion is when a woman carries a baby to full term and begins labor or has labor induced prior to a natural delivery during her waning pregnancy. The baby is then actually “partially” born. The doctor/nurse ensures a foot, leg or some body part is still within the birth canal and a doctor inserts a large bore needle into the baby’s skull cavity and sucks out the brain. That exceeds the extreme of rationalization to rely on the technicality that a foot is still within the birth canal so it’s still a fetus and not a baby.

Obama supports partial birth abortion.

The U. S. Supreme Court has yet to hear any cases on the denial of care to a baby born due to a botched abortion where the delivery occurred so quickly, no body part remained in the birth canal and the baby was allowed to die via denial of care. One such case occurred in Illinois where the live baby was simply placed in a medical closet until it died. Prosecutors attempted to bring murder charges against those involved however, the courts dismissed the charges ruling that the baby was the product of a medical mistake during an abortion and could not be considered a human being for the purpose of having the human rights of a person or the constitutional rights of a citizen. The court ruled the baby to be an abortion fetus and thus it was not entitled to life.

The Illinois legislature attempted to pass legislation making the denial of care to babies born via a botched abortion process a crime and Obama voted against that legislation four (4) times.

That is a bizarre rationalization to the extreme in my opinion. What kind of human being can do such a thing to a baby? Answer: Barack Obama

Can Phobia of Being Pregnant Stem From Anorexia?

I have such a phobia of being pregnant and having children a natural way, could this irrational fear stem from my Anorexia that I was diagnosed with when I was 11…? I have normal periods now, so I’m guessing I have normal fertility, as my body is recovered, but my mind is far from. I still have a completely IRRATIONAL fear of weightgain, and the thought of the changes my body would undergo while pregnant absolutely drives terror into my heart and mind. No matter who I’m with, no matter how “worth it” some women (who have never experienced the hell of an eating disorder) say it is, I just don’t want to do it. And I’m scared I’m going to be so paranoid when I settle down with a life partner, that I’ll take pregnancy tests practically every time I had sex, I’d break down if I ever accidentally got pregnant, the terror I have of being pregnant could actually drive me to do some pretty terrible things…

The prospect of actual childbirth scares me as well; and I am so heartless towards normally conceived children. I talk about ‘foetuses’ and ’embryo’s’, not babies, I gag whenever I think of childbirth, I don’t view babies as little miracles, only a product of 2 mixed fluids, I don’t see the big massive deals made when a foetus for example, kicks in its mother’s womb…I speak almost with contempt about babies, and I realise that this is NOT. NORMAL. I feel so terrible. And like this anger is almost a defense mechanism.

This fear of pregnancy and having children the natural way has a name doesn’t it…? And can it stem from past Eating Disorders and Depression? (Both of which I’ve had). Thank you. xxx
Also, it doesn’t help that my mother thinks I am unutterably selfish for not wanting biological children and expects me to someday. 🙁

Is it possible my good posture and natural tendency to hold my stomach in could be hiding pregnancy?

I’m about to turn 26 years old, I’m about 5’4″ and weigh about 125 lbs. I naturally hold my stomach in and stand up straight, and normally even when relaxed, my stomach will only pooch out a little. Lately though it seems whenever I relax my stomach muscles, my belly pops way out like I’m pregnant! For a while I figured it was doing that after I’d finished eating, but it seems to be doing it more and more. I even joked to my husband that I needed to go on a diet because I look pregnant. I don’t think I am because I just had my period, but I’ve also heard of women who have bleeding during pregnancy at first, and that it is normal, especially if its your first.

I went online and looked at pictures of pregnant bellies, and the ones that look closest to mine (when my stomach muscles are relaxed) were about 12 to 16 weeks. But I wasn’t sure if the women in the pictures were relaxing their stomach, holding them in, or what.

So my question is, is it possible that my good posture has me in denial? Has anyone been pregnant and hid it by holding in their stomach? At what point did it not become “holdable” ? I realize that I can buy a home-pregnancy test, but to be honest I’m a little scared and feel like I don’t really want to know. I’m kinda hoping someone will assure me that there is no way I could hold in my stomach enough to hide it, in which case I won’t worry, especially if I have another period next month.

It just freaks me out and wanted to hear what other people say. Thanks.

Natural Miscarriage Stories?

I don’t want to hear.. GO HAVE A D&C because that is my final option and I am avoiding it at all costs.

I am 10 w pregnant and found out 3 days ago my peanut stopped developing at 6w 1d.

I was spotting light pink for 4 days, then yesterday it was a bit of watery brown, then last night some red and some obvious flecks of tissue.. and today is browny red with flecks of tissue, but it’s not enough to come out a lot only a little.

When can I expect this to really get going?

and what can I expect with a 6w old pregnancy? I know they say anything before 8 weeks is usually like a heavy period.
But I am 10 weeks but the pregnancy and fetus are only 6 so will it be lighter than a 10 week miscarriage?
I have a doc’s appointment on thursday

he said before it’s okay to wait a month before needing a d&c unless I show signs of infection

How soon do you think I could get pregnant?

I have a 4 year old and that pregnancy went great now we had been trying for the last 9 months for a second child. I miscarried at 4 weeks which was last week. I had a natural miscarriage I didn’t need a D & C. We have been trying since tuesday after I stopped spotting. Does anyone have a clue how soon I can conceive again? I have heard that you are very fertile after a miscarriage and thats why we thought we would start trying so soon. My doctor said it was fine to try its just that they might not be able to pin point a due date which I am not at all worried about. Anyone have any opinions?

Natural birth vs C-section?

Hi Everyone – Low progesterone levels??

I am new here and have loads of questions!!! A brief history – My husband and I have been TTC for almost 3 years now – in this time I have conceived twice unfortunately both ending in miscarriages (one on a natural cycle and the second on an IVF cycle). Apparently my progesterone levels were fairly low – has anyone had anything similar? Is there anything they can do to try and prevent this happening again? I thought progesterone injections may be a better option than pessaries? I have relatively bad endo and have recently had a lap & hyst done to remove the endo and cyst from my ovary. They thought this may help but since then I have miscarried. The last 3 years have been very depressing, I wish I could see the light at the end of the tunnel!! I have had 3 IUI, 1 cancelled IVF and 1 failed IVF cycle.

Is it appropriate to have my daughters wth me during the birth of my son?

Hi, I’m fairly new here on Yahoo Answers.

I’m a 42 year old mother of two daughters with a son on the way. I remarried 3 years ago and my daughters are from a previous marriage. They are 15 and 12. It took me almost 2 years to get pregnant (I ended up conceiving via IVF after 1.5 years of trying naturally). I’m hoping for a birth that is as natural as possible, with my husband present also.

I haven’t actually suggested anything to the girls yet but they are both very involved in my helping me out during my pregnancy, and were of great support during my IVF cycles.

I’m due in January.

Regarding infertility and chances of conception with low sperm count?

Dr’s wont increase dose of clomid or anything for that matter. maybe those bastards are shootin blanks in me?? whattya think? time to move onto IVF?? i am extremely impatient and hubby aint gettin any younger….might kill the next person that says “relax and itll happen.”

New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren’t high enough already) New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity) New taxes on retirement accounts, and last but not least….New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third-world countries!!!

you are in denial that the sources listed show Obama really did read this stuff off the telepromter? wow 1st step–admit you have an addiction 2nd st..
Tax cut to 95% of the people changed to 95% of the working people and now it has CHANGED to those that do community service, military or work, at the speed you countered the truth you didnt check the sources that Obama read from the telepromter–Obama cant beleive what he has been reading,
the truth is before your eyes and you deny it, you people are sad, I hope Obama does win so you can see what por is, I worked for a living so I can watch you grovel like beggers and fight for a crumb of bread–I havent been turned in yet for the truth,,,, the Obamaidiots must be in shock and awe from what Obama read from the telepromter
the reason you dont see reference to middle class is because middle class is a Socialist term–actually is middle/peasant class when it was originally defined by Karl Marx

there was a greater number of trained professional before the Clinton era but they got wiped out by taxes

WHICH ONE? McCain or Obama?

Is Blistex cream for cold sores safe during pregnancy?

I’m almost 15 weeks pregnant and have a cold sore and was just wondering whether or not Blistex healing cream is okay to use as it is the only thing that works for me. If not, is there any other safe treatments out there that I could use or natural remedies?

How to cure hayfever in pregnancy without medicines?

Hi, I don’t want to use any medicine during pregnancy as I don’t want to take any chances this time, not even paracetamol.

But, since I’ve entered the second trimester (I’m now 14 weeks) my nose has been constantly stuffy, on top of that I have developed hayfever (something I have never ever suffered from before), eyes are so sore sometimes, and nose is constantly runny and I’m sneezing all the time! It’s so annoying!

Are there any natural remedies I can do/use to help cure this? I’m eating menthol sweets/lockets at the moment as that helps it for a while, but it’s not great.

Thanks…

Signs of PMS/Pregnancy, but No Period Yet?

This is bizarre. I really don’t think I’m pregnant, but I’m showing a lot of weird signs right now. I stopped the pill a couple of months ago because it was making me fat, and crazy. But I was supposed to start my period on the 13th, and the week before I was getting some spotting.

If my calculations are right, I had sex 4 days after I was supposed to be ovulating so I don’t think it could have done anything. But since the day I was supposed to start I’ve been getting some cramping, not exactly like period cramps, but almost like an over worked muscle like the morning after going to the gym. I’ve also been kind of constipated, so on the 14th I took my natural remedy for constipation “cap full of olive oil, and lots of water WORKS LIKE A CHARM”, and all my constipation is gone.

But the thing thats weird is, I’m exhausted, been getting really weird dreams, I’m nauseous on and off,I’m gasy , and my boobs are hard as rock. Also, I am SO frisky, I can’t keep my hands off my boyfriend *well more than usual*… My stomach still is crampy but nothing is happening…

Also, I took a pee pregnancy test at the sexual health clinic, and it was negative. What am wondering if any other woman have gotten this? Is this normal for women who aren’t on the pill? I’ve had so many pregnancy scares that I doubt this is pregnancy. But I’m not sure. At what point are pee test 100% accurate? I got one on the 6th? Anyone want to share their experiences that would be great!?

I have PUPPS! It’s killing me!?

I was diagnosed with PUPPS. A rash occurring during pregnancy (normally diagnosed during the last trimester). I am 30 weeks pregnant and it’s killing me. Benydryl knocks me out, and I have a 20 month old daughter to take care of… Any suggestions or sites that will help you with natural remedies to boot it out the door. I’ve bought dandelion root and soaps but need to see if something else will help….
