Side effects when coming of the pill!!?

I stopped taking the (yasmin) pill after one year as i wanted my body to rest and get back to its natural cycle (if that makes sense) So once i stopped, my period came straight away which lasted around 6-7 days. Well i had unprotected sex twice with my boyfriend thinking that its unlikely to get pregnant when you just come of the pill as your body is adjusting!! (stupid, i know) now i am noticing that my boobs are sore and im getting cramps, so im thinking that these are the side effects for coming of the pill? I took a pregnancy test just to be sure and it was negative..Im due on my period in a couple of days..So do you think this is normal?

preventing a chemical pregnancy…please help, i’m so worried!!!!?

i am on my fourth round of clomid. now last month i either ovulated twice or ovulated very late in my cycle. i ovulated on day 26 and implanted on day 33 (i know this because i had bleeding). i ended up having a chemical pregnancy five days after implantation. i believe it may be because i implanted to close to my expected period. i have been having 35-40 day cycles. my doctor did another 21 day progesterone test this month but i can’t get in to see him until Sept 21st. I think i may have implanted again this month on day 33 (last night) because i had very bad cramping which went away by this morning. i guess my question is, do i have a high chance of a chemical pregnancy again this late in my cycle??? if so, is there any vitamins or natural treatments i can take to try and better my chances? i have endometriosis too if that helps….please offer any suggestions you may have. i have to wait to take a test since i only got a very very faint BFP last month four days after my implantation.
i haven’t yet received my progesterone levels since i can’t see him until the 21st of sept. i live in Canada so unfortunately we have to take what we can get with doctors, i can’t just make an appointment with another doctor. can you buy progesterone cream over the counter or do you need a prescription?

Anyone refused consultant care in pregnancy? UK.?

Hi. I’m in the UK and I was just wondering if anyone has ever refused consultant care? I know its perfectly legal but I can’t really seem to find much information on anyone else doing this.

I’m on my third pregnancy. I had a consultant during the last pregnancy and it was totally pointless. She did absolutely nothing the midwife didn’t do when I went to see her. She literally just got some other midwife to take my blood pressure, test my urine and check the baby’s heartbeat and off I went. It costs a lot of money for me to get to the hospital because I don’t drive and its quite far away so the taxi fare’s are expensive and my husband works full time so he has a struggle trying to fit the appointments around his work when its just midwife appointments let alone consultant ones as well (I need him to come because I can’t hold two children and have everything checked, its impossible, and they’re both too young to sit alone, there’s also no other family members that can come).
The midwife referred me to a consultant because my two labours haven’t been straight forward (one was shoulder dystocia, other was PPH from a partially retained placenta and needed a blood transfusion). But my pregnancies have been totally fine and normal, i’ve had no problems at all and i’m other wise in perfect health. It seems a bit silly to me because there’s nothing a consultant can do to prevent something happening during a labour besides give me an elected c-section which she told me last time won’t happen because I’m definitely not high risk enough and its such a risky procedure. So it just seems pointless for me to drag myself to the consultant every month or whatever.
However every time i’ve rang up to cancel the appointment i’ve been told by the receptionist that she can’t cancel it for me because the midwife has referred me so I have no choice but to turn up. So i’ve tried to get through to the midwife to tell her to cancel it but the only number I have for the midwife is absolutely useless- throughout all three of my pregnancies I have never rang that number and got through to anybody, ever. So i’ve not gone to any of them. My next one is set for Monday which I definitely couldn’t attend even if I wanted to because I have another important appointment that I go to at the same time every week that I definitely can’t rearrange. I told the receptionist this and she was very unhelpful telling me that I had to cancel my other appointment and go to this one.. Sigh.

So i’m at a loss as to what to do. I also have the midwife on Monday so I think i’m just going to tell her that I really don’t feel I need a consultant. My pregnancies have all been totally normal and explain how much of a fuss it is for me to get there. But i’m just scared she’s going to be rude or nasty to me, or try and tell me I have no option but to go even though I know I do by law.

I also want a home birth which I know the midwife definitely wasn’t keen on after my last labours. But i’ve done my research and I now know of ways to prevent both from happening again, and I also know the chances of either happening again are absolutely minute, they’re both extremely rare things to happen. My last labour was all natural and completely normal, it went wrong because they injected me to make the placenta come and so the part of the drug which makes your placenta deliver kicked in too quickly and a part of my placenta wasn’t ready to come away, so it got stuck and thus the blood loss. So I now know to have a natural placenta delivery to prevent that occurring again, and that was all that went wrong, the delivery was perfectly normal.

So anyway i’m panicking now because the appointment is on Monday and I know i’m going to have to be quite confrontational and get to the point, which is something I’ve never liked to do. I was just hoping to hear some other similar-ish experiences so I feel like i’m not just being a little fuss pot! lol.

Thanks in advance 🙂

Need help with this and i dont understand why i keep getting negative preganacy testes when i have all the….?

Okay……I’m 24 years old and a couple months ago to be exact in Sept 12 I had a miscarriage I was 6 wks and 3 days didn’t need a dc it was a natural miscarriage. My obgyn put me on bc pills took 4 and stop on October 16 came on last for 4 days and went off havent been on since in Nov I had one day of light pink spotting then it stopped I’ve had all the symptoms headache nausea breast tenderness blue veins break outs fatigue and light headed but every time I take a pregancy test its negative. Now the first test I took was in middle to late November and it was negative the second one I took was early this morning and it was negative. I did get these testes from the dollar general for my friend told me it work but the first time I did it was a negative. And it turned out that I was but I’m not sure I thought maybe I was having a ectopic pregnancy but don’t know can someone please give me some advice to this if I am I would be 6 wks and 6 days today

My period is late! Im breastfeeding..?

Im still breastfeeding my 21moth old boy.Got my period four months ago but this time around it’s on a 21day cycle unlike pre-pregnancy.My last period was on the 6th of Nov and the 23rd & 24th..i had light brown spotting.And yesterday,the 10th i spot again..I have been having occasion sharp pain at my lower abdomen.Preg Test caame out negative.Is it natural to experience this while breastfeeding? I am very worried.Please share your views?Thanks alot..
I am very worried.Should i visit my OB?

When did you stop breastfeeding? Physical changes afterwards?

My son’s 5 months old and I am planning on breastfeeding my son for at least two years if possible…

I have lost all of my pregnancy weight and when people I haven’t seen for a while see me they say it’s because I am breastfeeding (people that have never breastfed tell me this) but I don’t believe that’s true…

Breastfeeding burns around 500 calories a day, yes, but I also eat really healthy. If I was eating junk, the 500 calories wouldn’t make a difference.

When did you stop breastfeeding and what physical changes, if any, did you experience?

*I chose to breastfeed because it’s natural and beneficial to my son, not to lose weight!

Thanks for your answers!
*He’s already started grabbing our food and exploring eating, we aren’t stopping him.

Help! 6 centimeters and really scared!?

Hi! I guess it’s best to just explain it all! I’m 17 years old and expecting my 1st little one anytime now, literally I’m already in the hospital and 6 centimeters dilated! I’m really scared because I don’t know if I’m ready for all of this! I’ve decided to go natural because I’m terrified of needles and don’t think that I could take an epidural and let me just tell you, it hurts like hell, I literally feel like I’m dying lol! My boyfriend (18) is being so supportive and has did well at comforting me, but theirs only so much a person can do! I’m scared of needles, but I’m seriously contemplating getting an epidural! Should I? Apart from all of that, I’m only 37 weeks and I know that it’s considered full term, but I wanted to make it all the way to 40 weeks just to be sure that my baby boy would be okay, so I’m worried about that too! Both my boyfriend and I’s families have been really great throughout my whole pregnancy, so I guess that’s something to look on the upside for, but I’m still nervous about becoming a parent! I believe in love at 1st sight and that’s what everybody has been telling me happens when you see your child! Maybe I’m overreacting! I just need some advice or someone to tell me it’ll be alright! Please help! 🙂
I’m sorry it’s so long! 🙂

I dont know if im pregnant, and tomorrow’s 4-20..?

Tomorrows 4-20. I have no way of getting a pregnancy test until like the begining of next month, and I want to know if smoking weed could hurt the baby (if there is one). I mean its all natural right? And if it could, how much..? I mean come on! Tomorrows like. National weed day. I haven’t smoked anything in the past month because of the possibility. But… I mean 4-20..

how long will I bleed & how long until not pregnant test after ectopic?

I had an ectopic pregnancy this month. They gave me the shots to dissolve the pregnancy LAST Friday. I started bleeding Sunday and have been bleeding like a period since. My periods are generally light and only last 4 days. I was told this would be heavier and longer, which it is, and isnt anything I feel concerned about, BUT how long does a women typically bleed after these shots and events?

Also, my BETA at the time of the shot (to dissolve the pregnancy) was 2774. I went back the next Tuesday and it was 2160. I went back Friday again and am awaiting the results of that BETA tomorrow. I see the dr. tomorrow.

How long will it take my BETA to reduce back to 0-5??

Im ready for this to be over, so I can have a natural cycle so I can do an HSG test, so we can get the ‘green light’ to TTC again. Thanks!

For those who have used progesterone cream?

Did you get nausea while on it? I used regular progesterone cream (synthetic) before and didn’t get nausea but this month I am using natural progesterone cream and have been experiencing a light nausea for the last 3 days. I am 10DPO and am wondering if it could be just a side effect or maybe (hopefully) a symptom of pregnancy. I’m too scared to test until I am actually late because I have been trying for soooo long. Just wondering if anyone else has had nausea while on the cream and not been preggo. Thanks!

When will the test show negative?

So Im pretty sure I am having a very early natural miscarriage (4 weeks 2 days along)…

It’s more emotionally painful than physically and I do not plan on seeing a doctor as it is so early and is not problematic…

But inside I am still hoping that maybe this is just some kind of “period” during pregnancy and maybe my little guy will hold on… But then again I don’t want to hold onto false hope either…

So I started cramping and bleeding (with tissue) last night and still am today (cramping very mild)… But my question is, if I take a test to see if I in fact lost the pregnancy, how long will it take to get a negative? I don’t want to test too soon and get a positive…

I know this is not just a late period, I had 3 positive hpts and symptoms..

could this be our month? help me out, here!?

I have been having a fairly good amount of pregnancy symptoms [moodiness, fatigue, tender/swollen breasts, heightened nipple sensitivity, headaches, food cravings]

I did miss my period but i dont know what to think of it due to the fact that i used to have PCOS, i would only get a period if i took birth contol and my doctor had told me i would most likely need fertility meds to get pregnant – months after stopping the birth control and after losing 60lbs, i finally started getting my natural period, PCOS went away and my cycle is typicly 30-something days, but i haven’t gotten my period since the end of november/beginning of december. me and my partner have sex on a very regular basis, and i’m starting to think we might have finally gotten lucky :]

this morning after going pee, i noticed a small amount of brown discharge [old blood] and was disapointed because i thought that was the start of my period, however after about two wipes it was gone, and no blood fallowed, haven’t had anything but normal discharge after that.

any idea as to what that was? normal or no? good sign or bad?

Oh, i hope this is our month :]

i will be testing very soon.

Wish me luck :]

thanks ladies!

Cycle after baby ~ lots of q’s?

My baby is 6 months old. I have breastfed him and pumped until about a month ago, when I also introduced formula to go back to work (for some reason, he won’t drink my milk from a bottle). Now, in the last couple weeks, we have introduced solids, and he is only nursing about 1-3 times, in the early morning hours, in a 24 hour period, and the rest of the time he has formula.

I have not had a menstrual period since he was born. I had a very very light PP bleed, on and off for about 6-10 weeks.

I have been on the mini pill since the 3 week PP checkup. My insurance switched to a different kind of it, and I have been a hormonal mess!! So, I have decided to chuck it and start monitoring my CM to avoid pregnancy. I have been off my pill for a week, and already feel like myself again : ) .

I’m wondering, since I have not had a period yet, if I would just continue monitoring like usual? Would there be anythig different going on that I should be aware of? I’m having a hard time finding info on Natural Family Planning – Post Partum.

I don’t temp, just mental note of my CM daily. And, I take a preg test about every two weeks, because I do enjoy some wine on the weekends 😉

Thank you!
I forgot to mention i have had very bad cramps on and off for about a month. But they are not like uterine cramps, but the same area, and STRONG, and hurt down my legs like a period cramp.

Trying to spice up sex and my fiance is LAZY!?

IN A NUT SHELL:
Im 22 MILF and Hes 28.

We talked about it…
Im over the naiive insecure aspect and i accept that watching and fantasizing is natural…for both sexs
We mutually agreed that porn will be a “just in case im not willing or available” tool

We have never watched porn together….. until two months ago, he hid it so well i didnt even know he was doing it….. he never said anything about wanting something different….. he has literally NEVER been denied sex……Period Pregnancy Pnemonia, Im on that dick gladly no joke!

I am nervous and excited to search and find my sexuality outside sex with my partner….as well as enhance sex, by using porn….

Any advice ideas resources???!!!

help! Practical nurse? Massage Therapy? well being a doula?

I have to make up my mind on what i want to be when i am older. I have always wanted to be in the medical field. I have also ALWAYS LOVED to get involved with helping pregnant women through their pregnancy-labour and after birth. I have my mind set now on being in the Prenatal Unit for sure. I have always been pro natural birth!

Now for my questions:
1) i would love to be a doula for sure, but i do not know what else i should take. What would be better, practical nurse, Massage Therapist?
2) What makes more money, Practical nurse or Massage Therapist?
Could I become all three? Practical nurse/Massage Therapist/doula? What do you think?

Midwifery is out of the question it takes way to long 4-6 years where i live.
Also now wondering if i can be a LPN in the maternity award? if not then i would have to go to school to become a RN wouldn’t I? This is a very hard decision!

A little help, Please! My period is late and a negative on hpt test.?

Ok, I’m gonna try to simplify this as much as possible and give you a timeline.
PERIOD TIMELINE
August 4-delivered baby by c-section
Sept.3 postpartum bleeding stopped.
Sept.5- Postpartum check up, cervix closed, uterus back to prepregnancy size, prescribed nuvaring, filled script, inserted ring
Sept.13- started period, removed ring after period started; lasted 16 days
Oct.11- started period; lasted 5 days
Nov.2-3- I believe I ovulated one of these days, very late in the cycle.
Nov.8- expected period, did not show up, tested that evening (negative)
Nov.9- tryed testing again with first morning urine. (negative)
Nov.10-no signs of period coming

SYMPTOMS
Missed period (in my opinion)
Naseous on and off throughout the day
moody

A little more info… I have not used any birth control after sept. 13. After I had my son in July 2007, my periods returned to normal very quickly. My daughter was conceived 3 months after I had my son (both planned pregnancy) This time we are allowing nature to take its course, if I end up pregnant again quickly it is fine, this will probably be our last. If not, then when we do find ourselves pregnant again it will be an exciting time. We wanted all of our children close in age to encourage a natural bond between them.
So for the questions…

1. Do you think pregnancy is still possible, even with the negative tests?
2. When do you think I should test again if my period doesn’t show up and if I did ovulate on Nov.2-3?

thanx for reading, your answers are appreciated. I’m just a bit of a control freak over things like this. BTW-I’m not stressed out, so stress is not a factor here. Neither is overly strenuous exercise.

slow rising HCG levels with spotting in early pregnancy! Help!?

I am experiencing light bleeding (since last Wednesday) off and on for the last 9 days. It has never been very heavy and no clotting and only slight cramping have been associated with it. Last Thursday I was seen at my docs office and showed an HCG test level of 1766 in the previous test done 12 hours prior it was at 1362. My doc kept trying to tell me that I should be between 7 and 8 weeks pregnant however, due to a drug allergy that I had at the begining of July I was placed on Prednisone in which prolonged my period causing me to bleed from the 3rd to the 18th. I didn’t engage in sexual intercourse until the 22nd of July, the 25th of July, and then again on the 4th of August. I went yesterday to have a vaginal ultra sound done and nothing could be found not even an egg sac. They drew more blood to test the HCG, but were already discussing a natural passage or D&C procedure and told me that the pregnancy had been aborted. This morning I got another call from them stating that my hormone levels were somewhere around 3100 and even though they weren’t doubling as they should they couldn’t say that I had definitely miscarried. So now they are sending me tomorrow to have more blood work drawn and then again on Tuesday. It looks pretty grim at this point and I have all but given up hope. I’m just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and then went on to deliver a healthy baby? They also said that there was a possibility that I was not as far along as they had projected. At 4 weeks or so would it still be possible to not see anything in an ultrasound?
thank you so much for your input! My HCG levels were tested last Thursday and again yesterday so in a weeks time they hadn’t even doubled. They went from 1766 to 3100…that doesn’t seem like a great increase, but I am still keeping my fingers crossed that I am so early into this pregnancy that nothing is looking right at this point

i am 6 weeks and 4 days pregnant i had a scan last sunday becoz of bleeding and saw my baby !!!?

Im so scared now, i duno wats goin on with me?

First off a had a baby 4 months ago, natural birth, but had an episiotomy and vac extraction. The past month ive felt really sick and run down, i think its because i dont eat and sleep properlya nd hardly drink any water.
Anyway, i started getting chets pains, went to the hospital, all my bloods were clear and ecg was fine. Since then ive had the same tests tested agian and also had a chest xray.
I went to physio and was told my back is in bad shape from the pregnancy and this good very well cause my whole body to ache. Sine all of this i had a pelvic exam and pap test and ever since ive urinated blood. I hav no infections and have had an upper and lower abdominal aultrasound all is clear and also a ct scan on my kidneys and bladder which came clear (( also pap test is clear) I also had a pelvic ultrasound which came back clear.
I dont understand all these pains. All tonight my top lip has been numb, im going to the dentist in the morning cos i do hav some decayed teeth.
But now here on yahoo i read about Hypocalcemia and im shitting myself 🙁 I do have a vit d defiency which i got while i was pregnant but the last 2 weeks ive been taking ostelin (vit d supp) and also a multi vitamin.
If i had Hypocalcemia woul dthat have shown in my blood test or anywhere else?? Im so scared.

Im 18 yrs old, recently quit smoking and drinking coffee, do not breastfeed.

I think i’m pregnant, advise required for those who have suffered a miscarriage in the past!?

Hello,

I am 22 yeards old and After months of trying my partner and i finally conceived our 1st baby in June 07 though at 7 weeks i had a miscarriage! Since the miscarriage i have had 1 natural period which was 20.09.07 since then my partner and i have been trying again,

I am getting all of the same symptoms as i did in the past and feel pregnant. I want to test to confirm the pregnancy but i no i will only be about 3 weeks Pregnant and i dont want to build my hopes up in case the worst happens and i misscarry again!

I have been taking folic acid and eating healthily, If i do test now is it early enough to get a positive response?

Also people who have miscarrid in the past and managed to conceive afterwards please tell me ur stories so i no i have got hope and am not alone as i am worrying my self sick it may happen again Thanks x

why are there so many prudes here? the second someone mentions sex 50 people chime in with “wait till marriage

Why? Are you loser thats just jealous no one would consider taking you to bed so you feel compelled to make everyone else feel as unloved as you?

Sex is a natural and awesome thing that shouldn’t be cast in such a negative light. It’s nothing to be scared of and the older users should stop trying to terrify anyone asking questions about sex. It’s sad to watch.

Ofcoure you should always use protection and be safe, but dont avoid sex out of fear of pregnancy or disease. You will be missing out on something very special.

Previous hard/induced birth.. What are the chances this time?

I was induced with my last pregnancy at 42+15 as baby was showing no signs whatsoever of coming on her own. My membrane sweep didn;t work as my cervix was high and posterior and was hard to reach. So all my labour was artificial. It started with the gel inserted.
I started a few hours later and dilated really quick to 10cm in about 4 hours, so thought ‘I can do this!’.
But the baby was back to back and was stuck fast. I was left at 10cm in excruciating pain for 4 hours before being given an epidural. Then I was left a couple of more hours with no sign of baby. I was being monitored and the babys heartrate kept dropping.
Eventually they handed me the form for a c-section, and took me down to theatre.
Before the section they gave forceps a go, and on the second push out came the baby.
But I lost 3 pints of blood, and had retained placenta which was manually removed.
It put me off having anymore babies but when I found out I was pregnant this time, I opted for an elective section and the consultants agreed.
But I changed my mind a couple of weeks ago and have decided to go natural as I know if I have a section I am going to regret giving it another go, as I feel I didn’t actually give birth last time as everything was helped along.
I’m 38 weeks pregnant now. What are the chances of this birth being similar? Am I more likely to be induced again with being induced first time? I’ve never experienced spontaneous labour.
Will my body make it easier this time with being through the whole dilation etc before, or will it happen like a first labour because I was induced so it doesn’t count?
It’s been just over 2 years since I gave birth.
I’m trying to get baby into a good position this time (i must admit being very lazy last time), but I’ve been on my birth ball and i’m constantly running around after my 2 year old so im hoping being more active will have kept this baby in a good position. I’ve also been drinking 4 cups of raspberry leaf tea each day since 36 weeks, in hope that the second stage of pushing will be more effective as my body just didn’t want to push the baby out last time.
Anybody any experiences?
Is there a chance Icould start labour on my own or is there a rule, “once induced, always induced”?
Thank you very much and sorry it’s so long
Thanks very much 🙂 Just after reassurance. I felt like my body failed me last time

Noone has taken the time to read my ? and i need some input on miscarriage and new pregnancy?

Ok so ill try not to make it longm but sorry that it is but i need HELP!. Had been trying for 10 months before finally becoming pregnant for the first time back in September 2008. i found out around the week of the 15th or the 22nd ((dont really remember which day i found out)) anyways, figured it up to be about 6 weeks. was supposed to go to the clinic around the 1st of October to start prenatals and such. Started bleeding on September 29th. went to emergency room and pregnancy was confirmed and was told i was 6 1/2 weeks along. my BHCG was 19.0. they told me that i had a threatened miscarriage and had to follow up with a Gyn. went to the Gyn on October 1st and it was a confirmed miscarriage and my HCG levels were back down to 0. i was told that i could start trying again as soon as the bleeding stopped since it was all natural and so early on. i bled for about a week and stopped on October 7th. i lost all pregnancy symptoms. on the 11th and 12th of October, BD. BD on the 18th. Started spotting very lightly on the 21st of October ((exactly two weeks after i stopped bleeding from miscarriage)) and thats all it was for a week straight but only off and on. no heaviness and no cramps. ((normal period for me would be heavy with painful cramps)) i stopped spotting on the 29th of October.((exactly a month after i started miscarrying.)) BD on 31st of October, 1st and 2nd of November. right after the spotting i got all the symptoms that i had when i found out i was pregnant the first time. ive thought i was pregnant many times but when i actually “knew” i was pregnant, i just knew and i felt so completely different. i feel exactly the same as i did before. sore bbs, nausea at night only ((exactly like before)) frequent urination, very moody. my fiance really thinks that i am pregnant again because he said im acting moody exactly like i was when i was pregnant the first time but worse lol ((and also i got REALLY bad allergies the first time and after the miscarriage they went away and now the allergies are back again)) also BD the 8th of November. so with that being said, could the spotting be implantation and indication of a new pregnancy and if so when should i test to get a BFP. if it was a period, then i should be getting another on the 12th in 3 days. unless i got pregnant between then and now. what do you think? has this ever happened to anyone and they were pregnant? when should i test??? please help and thank you in advance.

When to do a pregnancy test?

I came off the pill about 4 weeks ago after my last withdrawal bleed. Me and my boyfriend have been trying for a baby since but I am unsure as to when I should do a pregnancy test.
All of them say to do it on the day of your missed period or after, but because I’ve recently come off the pill I have no idea when my natural period is going to be… Please help!

BD on 31st of October, 1st and 2nd of November. right after the spotting i got all the symptoms that i had when i found out i was pregnant the first time. ive thought i was pregnant many times but when i actually “knew” i was pregnant, i just knew and i felt so completely different. i feel exactly the same as i did before. sore bbs, nausea at night only ((exactly like before)) frequent urination, very moody. my fiance really thinks that i am pregnant again because he said im acting moody exactly like i was when i was pregnant the first time but worse lol ((and also i got REALLY bad allergies the first time and after the miscarriage they went away and now the allergies are back again)) also BD the 8th of November. so with that being said, could the spotting be implantation and indication of a new pregnancy and if so when should i test to get a BFP. if it was a period, then i should be getting another on the 12th in 3 days. unless i got pregnant between then and now. what do you think? has this ever happened to anyone and they were pregnant? when should i test??? please help and thank you in advance.

Pregnant or something else?

Over the course of the last week and a half I’ve had terrible acid reflex (not too sure, but thats what I assumed). It feels like heartburn but in my stomach… Now, I’m a few days late on my period. I’ve also noticed I’m eating more. I’m a small person and my hip bones used to slightly stick out and in the course of the last 2 weeks you cannot even find them. I just took a pregnancy test but it did nothing (no pregnant or not pregnant result)…I’m in a committed relationship and a baby is more than welcomed. But, I’m just wondering if this stomach burning is natural? I plan on taking another pregnancy test as soon as I’m able to go… but until then, I’m sittting here not knowing what to do.

Do i have a good argument for getting rid of age of consent laws?

Firrstly, age of consent laws can be very confusing for kids as there are such huge differences in opinions. For example in the USA, it can be 18. In the neighbouring country Mexico it can be 12 in some districts. Thats a huge difference. Such indecisiveness among lawmakers can breed contempt for the law.

Secondly, there have been many cases where age of consent laws have ruined many young peoples lives. For example 17 year old Marlow Wilson was jailed for receiving consensual oral sex from a 15 year old at a party. He received a 10 year sentence, but out of sheer luck served only two. These laws are indiscriminate and do not take into consideration individual circumstances.

Thirdly, one of the main arguments for age of consent laws is to tackle teen pregnancies. However, western countries with very low age of consent laws such as Sapin where it is 13 have far lower teen pregnancy rates than the US where age of consent is generally between 16 and 18.

Fourthly, such laws are intrusive to male teens. According to some studies, men reach their sexual peak in their teens. It is unfair for elderly men or middle aged lawmakers to pass laws whose only affect would be to make youngsters feel ashamed about their hormones or natural curiosity.

Fifthly, such laws were initially intended to protect children from predators, but in practise these laws have shifted and extended their focus to meddling in teenagers private lives.

Sixthly, teenagers have a tendency to rebel. Therefore passing such laws might arguably have the opposite effect.

Seventhly, a lot of advocates of such laws tend to follow conservative political views which are often motivated by religious values such as “abstinence” or “no sex before marriage”. But why should religious values be imposed upon the irreligious?

Eighthly. puberty rather than date of birth determines the sexual maturity of humans and other animals. Also mental maturity is not always linked to someones age, but rather can differ widely among people of various age groups.

Finally, people cannot help at what age they fall in love. Some people do not fall in love until their thirties. Others do in their early teens. It is unethical to allow strangers in suits and ties to interfere in such intimate, personal and sensitive situations. Such matters should rather be handled by parents.

will some one please read my essay and review it. to help me tweek it…?

Miscarriage is a word you are not supposed to say but most expecting parents are thinking about that exact word in the back of their minds when they hear the words “Congratulations, You’re pregnant.” It is the word that you hope to never hear but throughout your pregnancy you know may be inevitable. The eight word sentence that can bring your entire world crashing down around you all at once, “I’m sorry but I don’t see a heartbeat.” This is a sentence that I have heard one time to many.
It all started on Jan. 3 2011 when went to the gynecologist to check if I was healthy enough to try and conceive. I am only 20, but I wanted to see if I was going to have any unexpected problems along the way. I had an ultrasound done of my uterus and my doctor seen a few sacs of fluid which can be a sign of endometriosis, but she told me not to worry about anything that she was going to take cervical cell samples to confirm her diagnosis. She said to go home and she would call me within two weeks with the results. I got the call “Shannon, your test results are in and we need you to come in to discuss them.” Ok I reply to the Nurse on the other end of the line remembering that the doctor said they would only call me if there was something to discuss. So I make the appointment for the following day and go in only to hear I have Stage 3 Endometriosis. This is the last thing I thought the Doctor would say. The Doctor and I discussed my options as to how we will go along with the diagnosis. She tells me that with this disease infertility is likely, and that if I would like to attempt to get pregnant on my own I should try and see what happens and if that didn’t work we would likely try fertility treatments. Well I did, I went home and discussed with my fiancé what I was told and we both decided that natural is the way to go initially and if that doesn’t work we would pursue other alternatives.
I had been trying to get pregnant for a little over two months and I must have been doing a good job because on Mar. 7 2011 I found out I was expecting, and 5 weeks along. I was excited as was my fiancé, but I could not believe it would be that easy. With endometriosis comes an increased risk of miscarriage. The dreaded word, MISCARRIAGE. That was discussed, but in my mind, god had already given me one obstacle, he wouldn’t throw up another road block. The pregnancy was going great for 3 more weeks when the pain and bleeding came on, and I knew what that meant. I was miscarrying my baby at 8 weeks and 2 days. This all began on a Sunday so I waited till Monday morning and went to the doctor to get what I already knew confirmed. I had lost my beloved little angel. I was so upset but in the back of my mind I knew all along this was a possibility. But knowing that didn’t make it hurt any less.
This was one of the most difficult times in my life, knowing that something that I thought would be so easy because I was young could be so hard, so devastating and so difficult to discuss. The hardest part was I knew that this may be more difficult than I originally thought. At 20 years old I was presented with a disease that I have never even heard of and the thought that I may never have children. That is a lot for a young woman to have to deal with. No matter how strong you are, a miscarriage is something that no person should ever have to face. It is losing a child that you love already and that child you know never got to take a breath. Miscarriage, a word that we don’t speak of but is such a common occurrence, is a horrible reality for most expecting mothers, especially the ones who have fertility problems already. Doctors, scientists and expectant mothers alike may never know exactly what causes a miscarriage to happen, but no matter what the reason it hurts. It will always hurt. But we can learn to move past the hurt and see what we do have not what we have lost…

Should I have this second baby?

I have a son who is 21months old and am pregnant again,7 weeks gone. I really feel like I dont want to have this baby but my partner does. I realise Im likely to get alot of nasty comments about how abortion is murder but you have to understand my circumstances. Firsty we were using birth control and it obviously failed,secondly i had a 3rd degree tear with my son and cannot have a natural birth again,im petrifed of being cut open,third theres no way we can afford it,we dont even have room for a moses basket in our new bedroom,we have a 2 bed house. The most important reason is i had chronic post natal depression with my son and am still not entierly back to normal. The depression feels like its starting to resurface but my partners family know about the pregnancy and are not happy about me wanting an abortion. My partner says he isnt sure about us if i dont want the baby. I dont know what to do

Am I the father?If so where is she?

Fifteen years ago in vista California I was in the Marine Corps and meet a girl by the name of Christy.She and I dated for a short time.At the break up she said she was pregnant and said she’d never let me see the child.I took that as a false threat and didnt think anything of it.About 8 months later she tried to contact a friend of mine and left a message that she really neede to speak to me but I had no way of contacting her.I would love to know if the pregnancy was true and if I have a child but I dont even remember this girls last name.Is there any way to track this info?This has been on my mind for years but have no clue what to do.Some of you may think Im a dead beat for waiting until now but I dont even know where this girl lived.Please help!All I can say is her name was Christy long natural curly red hair,had a friend Margret and lived in San Diego.She would be about 32 years old I believe
Ive expected to get some abuse for waiting so long.But without the internets existance back then and without her knowing my last name and vice-versa I was Clueless.Plus I dont even know if what she said was even true.Yes I am aware of all the repercussions.

Ich and Pregnancy in guppies?

I keep a 10 gallon tank with 4 guppies, 3 females and 1 male, 4 neon tetras and 2 black tetras. I recently noticed a problem with what appears to be ich, some of the fish have small white spots predominantly on their fins but some on their bodies aswell and some were thrashing their bodies off the gravel. I began dosing for this using Interpet Aquarium Treatment #6. I then began noticing some of the fish had become darkened around the body and mouth as if by ammonia burning. Having tested my water levels for Ammonia, Nitrate, Nitrite and pH and finding them ok I don’t know what’s causing this. Also 1 of the female guppies appears to be heavily pregnant and her spine has become curved towards the end of her body, is this natural in the latter stages of pregnancy or is it a broken back from thrashing off the bottom? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
According to my test kits my pH is neutral, and ammomia is nil-trace. Your help has been fantastic MM and is greatly appreciated. My next course of action if would seem would be to try and restore the water to good condition by a 50% change, replacement of the carbon filter and then treating the ick through salt and heat? Does this seem like a good move?, can the tetras survive in salt water? I’m not overly worried about losing the batch of fry as I have no where to keep them and intended on giving them to my local fish shop anyways. I also can’t find any information on the medication which isn’t good. Also given the poor state my water my be in, would it be wise to redose it with a filter-boosting formula to re-establish the possibly damaged bacteria after the water change?.
Again, many thanks.

Can i get accurate results?

I took a pregnancy test a couple of years ago and got a false positive. Does this have something to do with my natural hormones or was something wrong with the PT? If i take another one do you think i will get accurate results?

Early m/c in September, now 8 dpo and a + test?

Just wondering if anyone had any insight as to whether or not hcG could still be in your system almost 4 weeks out from a natural m/c (I was 6w4d along when I lost the pregnancy – 4 weeks tomorrow from when it all happened)?

Reason why I ask is because I’ve had an urge to take an hpt and picked one up from the $ store this afternoon. I held my urine for around 4 hours and took a test. There is a faint line. The problem is, I didn’t test out the hcG from my last pregnancy to see when it was all gone.

Aunt flow is due in 4 days and I have my first follow up appointment for the m/c tomorrow morning. Not sure if my OBGyn can tell anything tomorrow or not; but I’m going to ask. I am picking up a better quality test tomorrow and using it over the weekend just to see.

Yes, we are TTC.
No, I passed the whole thing 4 days after the m/c started so I’m positive that I passed everything.

I thought your body wouldn’t ovulate if there was still hcG in your system; and I’m temping and charting and have clearly ovulated. Not to mention that I’ve had the same temp the past 3 days in a row…

I’m hoping that my OBGyn can give me some insight tomorrow.

Thanks for the replies!
