Open Question: When would be the best time to get a puppy?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:41:18 GMT)
My dog of 13 years passed away two days ago and for a long time I've been thinking about getting another dog (probably a pug) but I'm 12 weeks pregnant (due late Sept) and I don't know whether it would be best to get the puppy now, or to wait a while after the baby is born...
** I have my nieces who are 2 and 7 a lot, so (s)he would be around children before the baby is here a fair bit.
** I've never not had a dog, I've always had at least one so I think it will be really weird to not have one around for x amount of time.
What are your thoughts? Get one now or wait for however long after the baby is born to get one?
Thanks :)

Open Question: I got pregnant with a 10 year paragaurd IUD, what are the chances of a miscarriage?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:26:18 GMT)
My doctor took out my IUD yesterday. She told me a miscarriage might occur, but did not tell me the symptoms of miscarriage or the percent chance I would have a miscarriage. Also, is there anything I can do to try and prevent this miscarriage? I am 7 weeks and 3 days now. Thank you.
Also, if I do miscarry, would it be most likely for it to happen right after the removal of the IUD?

Open Question: belly at 7 weeks pregnant?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:21:00 GMT)
I am 7 weeks preg. with my 3rd child and i have a little belly already, i have a pretty slim build but the baby is only the size of a blueberry. Does the uterus get bigger before the baby does? I know everyone says the muscles are still stretched and thats why you get bigger faster but at 7 weeks?

Open Question: ectopic pregnancy at 7 weeks?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:11:31 GMT)
Hi, I'm nearly 7 weeks pregnant with my first baby, i'm 30 years old and am becoming really worried about this pregnancy being ectopic.
I was on the mini pill just before becoming pregnant and over the last few days i've noticed that I have a pain in abdomen when I go to the loo. I have felt the cramping feeling in my uterus since finding out i was pregnant, which I'm thinking will mean if ligaments are stretching, then the baby should be attached to the right place?? I don't have any constant or severe pain in my tummy at all or any pain in my shoulder or any type of bleeding which I've read are other symptoms.
I don't want to be over-reactive, I'm worried that if I call the Dr's they'll tell me that i'm imagining it, or being over-reactive. I've also noticed today that my nausea isn't as bad as it's been previously, i'm not sure if this is relevant or not.
I'm finding this all so overwhelming and just want to do the right thing.
Any advice??

Open Question: When did you start to show in your first vs. second pregnancy?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:00:16 GMT)
I am one of those women who just seem to show really early on in pregnancy.
With my daughter, I had a belly at 10 weeks. Strangers could tell I was pregnant by 14 weeks and by 18 weeks I was unmistakeably pregnant.
Well now I am pregnant with baby #2 and I will be 7 weeks tomorrow. I feel like I am already showing. I know this is just bloat since the baby is the size of a seed at this point, but I honestly already have a belly. I love the baby bump but right now I feel like I look like I'm just fat. I know second pregnancies show sooner but this seems crazy.
So when did you ladies show with your first vs. second vs. third, etc?
Thanks!

Open Question: Should I change Doctors? My doctor doesnt seem to know about pregnancies?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 18:49:00 GMT)
My first pregnancy was a blighted ovum at 12 weeks/ followed by d&c.
I got pregnant 7 months after that with my baby boy Noah whom I just lost at 23 weeks on Jan. 22nd/2010 due to PPROM(premature rupture of membranes). I had bleeding the whole pregnancy with Noah but everytime I went to the doctor he would be moving and doctor said he was fine and that my uterus was closed but my placenta was a little low and I had a small hematoma. He told me to go rest at home. Then at 20 weeks I had a huge gush of blood I went to the ER urgently and again my baby had a great hb and was fine..so again doctor told me to just rest and take it easy each day. At 22 weeks I started this pains in my lower abdomen(I thought it was round ligament pain, I even called my dr. and he said maybe its round ligament pain and to rest) so you know everyone trusts their doctor so I did and rested. The pain got worse by the next day so I rushed to the ER and I was actually having contractions!!!! My doctor told me to stay in the hospital so they could monitor my contractions and try to stop them , well they couldnt stop them and the next day my water broke and delivered my sweet angel. Im really devastated and think it was negligence or maybe they just couldnt stop labor from happening. My baby died during delivery. I went to the same doctor and he said I could TTC after 3 cycles..Isnt that too soon? What should I do?
Thankss!!Experiences:(
I forgot to add that since week 20 till the day I gave birth at 23 weeks I bled a lot.. I really dont know if it was due to the hematoma.

Open Question: 3rd Trimester questions about weight gain & other "fun" stuff :)?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 18:40:47 GMT)
HI ladies! I am 32 weeks pregnant with my 1st baby! Due May 2nd! This pregnancy has been really good to me meaning no sickness or pains really! Our son is measuring 3 weeks big but they are keeping my due date b/c it was confirmed at a 7 week ultrasound. At 28 weeks he was already 3lbs 11oz. I have another 1 this Friday to see how much he weighs!
So Lately I have been feeling really tired! I work 8-5 & about 2 everday I hit a wall & get so tired! I guess thats normal though! I have minor swelling in my ankles but nothing a stranger would really even notice. I feel fat & had a question about weight.....how much did you gain by month 8th? Im up to almost 35lbs already! I know I dont eat as healthy as I should but I do try to do cardio at least 3 days a week (usually only for 30 mins) just walking or the elyptical. I started at 135 & was just under 170 at my last appt. I keep reading post where women only gained like 20 by now and I am wondering if I am the only one who put on 35!!
Also I have been getting these sharp pains in my breasts....not all the time maybe a few times a day...is this normal? They already went up 2 sizes!
1 last thing.....I feel like I have to go to the bathroom all the time! I do drink alot of water (I crave it!!) & i was checked for a UTI & dont have 1. Dr. said its b/c the baby is squishing the bladder so only a little bit can make it feel full! Any1 else have this??
Just wondering if these things I'm going though are normal & if anything 1 else has them!! Hope ur pregnancy is going well :)

Open Question: Pregnancy and Morning/Afternoon/Night Sickness?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 18:29:16 GMT)
Hey everyone,
I'm 7.5 weeks pregnant and I just started being nauseous in the afternoons and at night. Everyone talks about morning sickness, but I haven't or at least I haven't yet. Is there actually such a thing as afternoon and night sickness? Why does this happen? I'm avoiding all the foods I'm supposed to, but I keep throwing up what I eat (or at least half) later. I want our baby to have anough nutrients and be healthy.

Open Question: Weight gain - NOT impressed!?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:59:44 GMT)
I will be 7 weeks pregnant tomorrow. I'm my opinion, I am BARELY pregnant at this point.
I have already gained 4-5lbs! I have not changed a THING with my eating habits, honestly.
I had the same issue with my daughter. I gained 8lbs in the first trimester, despite eating the same and still exercising. However, I thought for sure this wouldn't happen AGAIN because I still have 10lbs left on me from that pregnancy so I figured that would make up the extra weight I had gained so rapidly in the beginning the first time around.
This just sucks. I gained 40lbs total with my daughter (was 120lbs pre-pregnancy), but lost 30lbs within two weeks of having her. I gained none of it within the last month of pregnancy. I just wanted to make sure I don't gain anymore than 30lbs this time since I still had 10lbs left (putting me at 130lbs pre-pregnancy this time).
Obviously this HAS to be water retention since I am bloated and what not. But I am just scared I'm going to gain 40lbs AGAIN and then have 20+lbs left over. Ugh.
Anyone else gain alot of weight rapidly in the beginning? Tell me I'm not alone!
Thanks everyone.

Open Question: Period is 6 weeks late, Whats wrong!? I had symptoms, but now they went away.?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:36:46 GMT)
This wednesday i will be 6 weeks late. I was suppose to start Jan 27th and never did. I had the cramps and everything but my period never came. Then i started getting brown spotting for a few days with about one day of liiiiiiight bleeding. While i had the brown discharge i was getting random waves of nausea and heartburn almost every time i ate. When the brown stopped i immedietly started getting a lot of white discharge. About a week after the white started, i started getting random cramps and dull aches in my lower ab and back area. Before the brown i took a test (-) and during the white i took another test (-). I have also taken 2 other tests which were negative (4 tests). Thats a lot of negatives. So i got over the idea of being pregnant. Then i started getting headaches, and when i would lay down i could feel my heart beating really fast like i just got done running. All i was doing was laying down. I am the kind of person who can stay up all night but then sleep allllllll day. I have slept over 16 hours in a day before. I love my sleep. Lately i HAVE to be in bed at 9 or 10 and i wake up at 7 or 8am. THAT NEVER HAPPENS!!! i usually sleep in until noon. I still have had no period. Completely missed februarys period. Nothing, no cramps or anything. And i still have no cramps. The other weekend (1 week ago) i had some pains in my lower ab (sharp but dull?) very weird feelings. It kinda felt like i was running, but out of shape. That kind of feeling but lower. I have no idea whats going on with my body. Does this sound like pregnancy :) or something bad? Im pretty nervous about whats going on with my body. Now all of the symptoms have gone away except the whole sleep thing. If i were pregnant i would be 10.5 weeks. Im just going crazy.
Please help!!!
No sarcastic answers please...
Anyone ever take a test when it was negative and still been pregnant?
What does this sound like?
Oh ya and my face is breaking out and my hair looks better than ever!!! except it gets oily faster.

Open Question: I need your advance and thoughts! does my baby have a chance of surviving?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:34:57 GMT)
I went for a blood test and an ultrasound yesterday.
My hCG level went up to 10620 (on March 7 it was at 5723)
I am exactly 6 weeks pregnant as today.
These are my ultrasound results. (Can someone please break it down for me and tell me the honest truth)
Provided history: ?MISSED ABORTION
EXAMINATION FINDINGS: Comparison to previous dated March 7, 2010.
There is a 7 mm mean diaeter intrauterine gestational sac. While the sac remains unchanged in size, it is now seen to contain a 2 mm yolk sac. Structure is a mean sac diameter of 16 mm.
There is a small subchorionic hemorrhage measuring 13 x 8 x 3 mm.
Right ovary is again noted to contain a luteal cyst measuring 2.4 cm. No free fluid is present.
Opinion: Tiny yolk sac within early intrauterine gestational sac. Recommend continued close clinical correlation and serial quantitative beta hCG monitoring with sonographic reassessment in about 7-10 days time.
Does my pregnancy sound like it's progressing? Or am I at high risk of having a miscarriage?

Open Question: will having chlamydia effect me from getting pregnant?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:28:40 GMT)
Me and my Fiance' have been trying to get pregnant my periods have always been on time on the 7th of every month. I have been with him for 6 months now and was just recently tested for STD'S and tested pos for chlamydia I guess this is something I had picked up from my ex husband because I have had very little sex partners and have always been careful. I went to my obgyn and I tested negative for a pregnancy I was in the ER with right ovary pain and they said I had a Folicle cyst on my right ovary and it was really small and in the process of bursting.
I no longer have pain from that but I took the antibotics to treat the STD now still no period can this STD cause me from missing a period? did I ovulate late because of the STD? or the Cyst on my Ovary causing a delayed period? I am now 4 days late on my period and have not tested since a day after my period. Was it too soon? Should I wait a week and test again? I am a healthy 30 year old Female and never had period problems.
Thanks

Open Question: IS MY PREGNANCY NOT PROGRESSING? ABNORMAL, MISCARRIAGE?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:21:53 GMT)

So am i more at high risk of having a misscarriage at this point?
Does my pregnancy sound like its progressing at it's gesture age?
What I am confused about is that the doctor said everythings okay, as long as I abstain from sex and lifting heavy objects due to the fact that I have a small subchorionic hemorrhage. But than again.. at the top it says ?MISSED ABORTION. I am so confused!! Did I miscarry, but they just didn't wanna tell me?? Or is everything actually fine? By the way, for those that was diagnosed with subchorionic hemorrhage, did yours go away or did you end up miscarrying also?
Please help me. I am in desperate need at this moment.

Open Question: Is my due date correct?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:17:23 GMT)
Supposedly I'm 33 weeks and 4 days pregnant... Due April 24th..I kept track of my periods so I know that the first day of my last period was July 2nd. Which based on a 28 day cycle I can't remember exactly but I though was April 8th... When I told the nurse my last period she said I must have had a light period after July 2nd. I didn't argue with her but know I didn't have a light period...at a different dr appt I asked the doctor if my due date was way off because my period is about 7 days long ... And around 38-40 day cycle. I ovulate on the 16th or 17th day of my cycle... She just said yes.. I'm just wondering if with that information would my due date really be pushed back to April 24th instead of atleast the middle of April? The baby has measured about a week or 2 ahead lately.. My very first appointment where I was supposedly around 8 weeks the baby only measured 5 wks and 5 days.. I'm just wondering if anbody can help me out with the math...

Open Question: Not sure if i should let my sons father in his life?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:08:52 GMT)
Here's the story. My ex-bf and I were together for 1 year and 7 months. His previous gf before me was pregnant, and had his child. she had a protection order from abuse on him for one year so he couldnt go around her nor the baby. throughout our whole relationship he would always tell me and his family and my family he didnt know if he was the father or not. well i got pregnant 1 year and 4 months after dating him. he didnt think i could get pregnant so he told me about a week ago thats why he stayed with me, basically free unprotected sex. well when i got pregnant his ex filed for child support and he had to get a paternity test done. 4 days before having our son, he got the test results back and it came back the other child was his. he didn't tell me, and everytime i would ask he would say he didn't have the results back. when i had my son, i didnt tell the father i went into labor or anything because he acts like a jackass at the hospitals and i didnt need stress or drama whlie i was trying to push out a 5 lb 14 oz baby out of my body. he got upset and yelled and shit at me on the phone. then he got mad when i didnt put his name as our sons last name, and i changed his first name as well because he didnt look like a joshua to me. his family and him both raised hell because i didnt put him on the birth certificate, but he treats me like shit and i know if i was to do that he would come over to my parents house and try to take my son with him. anyway, lately he's been blowing off his visitations with our son to go see his other child and then he will text me and say im not allowing him to come around and shit like that but i have tried multiple times to let him see his son. i also asked him for child support and he cussed me out and called me names. he's not a very good father figure at all, i wouldnt even call him my sons father i would just call him a sperm donor. he hasnt bought our baby anything, never calls or texts because he's always with his ex and their kid. so should i just say fuck it and let him come around our son or just wait till court?
i meant we were together for 1 year 11 months.

Open Question: The pitbull and new baby?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:06:19 GMT)
We adopted a beautiful pittie girl about three weeks ago, and last week I found out that I'm pregnant. She is mildly aggressive towards children and animals on the streets. Other than that, she is very loving and protective, and shows no aggression towards adults.
I don't want to be one of the people that dumps their dog because of the new baby excuse, but I can't get it out of my mind that something could happen. I don't know if I can live with the stress of constantly worrying about my dog eating my child.
My husband loves the dog, I think more than than I do, and he is convinced we have to find her a good home. I've put an ad on craigslist so that we can start looking now, in hopes that by 7 months from now, we'll have found her a good spot.
Please, no responses from pit-haters or rescue-nazis (I get enough of that from my mom). Regular people advice only please!

So am i more at high risk of having a misscarriage at this point?
Does my pregnancy sound like its progressing at it's gesture age?
What I am confused about is that the doctor said everythings okay, as long as I abstain from sex and lifting heavy objects due to the fact that I have a small subchorionic hemorrhage. But than again.. at the top it says ?MISSED ABORTION. I am so confused!! Did I miscarry, but they just didn't wanna tell me?? Or is everything actually fine? By the way, for those that was diagnosed with subchorionic hemorrhage, did yours go away or did you end up miscarrying also?
Please help me. I am in desperate need at this moment.

Open Question: AM I BOUND TO HAVE A MISCARRIAGE OR WILL I MAKE IT THROUGH?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:54:48 GMT)
I don't understand a thing that is going on with my pregnancy and the doctors seems to always be in a rush to explain certain things or don't have the guts to tell the real truth.
Any who I went for a blood test and an ultrasound yesterday.
My hCG level went up to 10620 (on March 7 it was at 5723)
I am exactly 6 weeks pregnant as today.
These are my ultrasound results. (Can someone please break it down for me and tell me the honest truth)
Provided history: ?MISSED ABORTION
EXAMINATION FINDINGS: Comparison to previous dated March 7, 2010.
There is a 7 mm mean diaeter intrauterine gestational sac. While the sac remains unchanged in size, it is now seen to contain a 2 mm yolk sac. Structure is a mean sac diameter of 16 mm.
There is a small subchorionic hemorrhage measuring 13 x 8 x 3 mm.
Right ovary is again noted to contain a luteal cyst measuring 2.4 cm. No free fluid is present.
Opinion: Tiny yolk sac within early intrauterine gestational sac. Recommend continued close clinical correlation and serial quantitative beta hCG monitoring with sonographic reassessment in about 7-10 days time.

Open Question: Pregnant or Period? (I really need people from personal experience)?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:50:34 GMT)
Okay, so I'm going to put this as brief as it can get, but with everything needed to know...
I had sex around mid February and it was protected
I had my period about a week later, and it normally lasts about 6-7 days
So after that period was done I had almost another month to go until my next one is due...
Well, on March 1st I had sex again (protected)
two days later March 3rd, I had this brownish bleeding, and after that stopped I started having this white/clear slimy discharge
My next period is due in about another week
but this happened two weeks before my expected period should happen
and before my periods start i NEVER have problems. Especially not two weeks BEFORE.
now its been about a week since its happened and ever since then I've had symptoms such as....
Headaches
lower stomach pains
feeling sick
nipples are hard and hurt
"goosebumps" around the outside of my nipples but im not cold at all when it happens
the area around the nipples (forgot what its called) are a little darker than normal
Peeing more often than usual
Fatigue - I feel exhausted and tired all the time lately, compared to before, and it never happens
Sometimes I get back pain
Extremely hungry and weird cravings for foods I don't normally eat...and usually I'm rarely ever hungry
Very moody and irritable easier
I've been sore in a few other places
I feel very bloated and I've gained just a couple pounds
& I'm not on birth control
But....
We used protection all the times we've done it
I had my period about a week after I did it the first time i mentioned (unless it was something else)
and the 2nd time i mentioned we had sex is when the symptoms started to show
and I have NEVER before gotten pre-period symptoms, especially TWO weeks before my period is even supposed to come.
Oh & I have trouble sleeping at night, which I normally sleep well.
& I don't need people's dumbass remarks cause this is serious.

Open Question: PP PERIOD? Re-Post due to not enough answers.?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 13:25:11 GMT)
im about 7 weeks postpartum, my lochia ended about 4 weeks pp. i just started my period monday night and its really heavy and really dark red with more clots then usual. i was wondering how long its going to be heavy and about how long it will last? before i got pregnant it would last 7 days and be a little heavy in the beginning and then lighter each day after. my period is regular, i get it the 9th every month and am 20 and not breast feeding if that matters. any advice would be great. oh and i used to have very severe cramps ONLY the first day of my period but now its been everyday since i got it. so how long did yours last? and is the dark blood and clotting normal?

Open Question: how bad is it to drink pop while pregnant?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 13:04:14 GMT)
ok well i useto smoke over 2 and a half packs a day for about 4 years (so more or less a chain smoker) and i found out i was pregnant at 7 weeks and i am now 24 weeks and since i found out i was pregnant i quit completely (haven't even had 1 smoke in months lol),
and i was talking to my friend the other day and i was drinking a can of doctor pepper and she was like wow you may as well go back to your smoking ways because the pop will kill your baby just as fast :S....
and i always thought that pregnant woman could have caffeine as long as they limit themselves to only having so much per day, i don't really drink coffee now that im pregnant, i mght go to tim hortons once every few weeks with my boyfriend and get a small but thats like it, and i probably only have 1 or 2 cans of soda per day, and i've been eating healthy and drinking milk and juice and water too, so is it seriously that bad to drink pop once or twice at the most per day????
(cuz i was told my baby's heart beat is perfect, his growth is perfect....) so i don't really see how pop could effect him this far along if it hasen't already
yeah i've had 3 or 4 cups of decaff coffee lol, i can barely taste any difference, and i actually only drink coffee for the taste lol (dont really care if it keeps me up or not)
i know she's an ass haha :P
and yeah not a big fan of sprite but i drink rootbeer sometimes

Open Question: Pregnancy and Self Esteem? I feel so fat and unattractive!?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 12:54:14 GMT)
Im 7 months pregnant (31 weeks). I recently had my baby shower and looking at the pictures I look so horrible. I look at myself in the mirror everyday and I didnt feel I was blowing up that much but in the pictures you can tell. I went from 158 to 188. My husband is stationed overseas and so he saw my pictures online and he didnt say you look pretty or anything...the only thing he said was I like the cake and your elbows were ashy. And I feel so bad! He clamined he was joking but I took it to heart. Why is my self esteem about my self getting lower and lower as pregnancy goes on? When I tell him I look fat he goes on to say no your not..your pregnnat and people gain weight...and that dosent help hearing that at all. I dont know what to do to feel bette about myself? Has anyone had the same problem?

Open Question: Morning after pills and abnormal period..?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:49:21 GMT)
Last month I had unprotective sex with my partner just 3 days after my period finished. I know there's a low chance of getting pregnant but I decided to take morning after pills just incase anyway.
The pharmacist told me that its normal if my period comes one week later than usual. But then 7 days after I took the pill my period came... which means its only been about 10 days after my last period. My period usually last about 5 days but this time it last for only 3 days. I didnt get any period pain or any abnormal feeling anything like that...
But this is the first time I've ever had my period so close together... is this normal..?? Or could it be just abother side effect of the morning after pills??

Open Question: 8 weeks pregnant and want a tongue piercing?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 09:37:55 GMT)
As I mentioned above I am 7 or 8 weeks pregnant. How much of a risk would it be to get my tongue pierced this weekend? If I decide not to do my tongue, is any piercing "safe" to get while I'm pregnant like my helix or an industrial?
I already have two piercings. Got my nose back in June of '09 and my lip November of '09.

Open Question: Severe nausea and morning sickness - anti sickness drugs?? UK?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 09:20:25 GMT)
Hi there
I have given in....I cannot take anymore. I originally wanted to battle through my nausea and sickness without having to rely on any drugs.
It has gotten so bad now I have this morning telephoned the Doctor to see if he will prescribe me something (no appointments left!!). I am awaiting a call back.
I am 8 + 5 and have been suffering from nausea since before I even knew I was pregnant for sure. It has slowly gotten worse, and by week 6 if I wasn't throwing up I was gagging all the time and felt sick 24/7! It would even wake me up in the night!
I have tried eating crackers (bleugh first thing in the morning) and sipping ginger ale - neither of these worked. I have lost my appetite because the smell of certain foods make me gag. I am now living on yoghurt and fruit and orange lucozade and have invested in a pair of pressure/travel sickness bands to see if they help.
This morning I thought all was fine, until 5 minutes before I was due to leave the house for work - which caused me to be 30 mins late - I could see two women (battle axes who like to stick their noses in and have a good talk about people looking at me with disgust because I was late) and to make matters worse no one knows I am pregnant. I had to have Monday off sick as I was throwing up all Sunday night and got no sleep and now suffer from nosebleeds everytime I am sick!
I really did not want to have to resort to drugs - I would like any advice you can offer me regarding this and if you took them did they work for you? How long did you take them for? etc.
Thanks ladies!

Resolved Question: Am I pregnant or is something else going on?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 06:40:50 GMT)
My period usually comes Tuesday around 11am. Last month it came at 4pm and the overall period was a little lighter than usual but got heavier each day and lasted longer than usual, like 7 days. It was due yesterday, Tuesday, but hasn't started yet. I'm not having the normal bloating feeling that I usually have with it and I can't tell if what I had last weekend was PMS or if it was just from stress. I have been under some stress lately with health care issues and midterms. I can't tell if I have any symptoms. I am always tired because I'm a busy college student, my nipples were a little tender for like two days this month but only when I pinched them (obviously that will hurt), I had cramping, lower back and some pelvic pain off and on but I was diagnosed with IBS and they said it was from that, and I have heartburn but they said it was from the IBS. I'm not nauseous or anything. My vagina is dry like it usually is before a period. My boyfriend and I use condoms and I check them after each time to make sure there are no tears. I am on the pill and have been for 5 years. I take it at the same time every day except for a few times this month I took it an hour or two late (which I didn't think was a big deal). I'm not on meds that affect it. He doesn't ejaculate inside of me, even with the condom on and we also try to avoid sex on my fertile days. I'm really scared, how could I be pregnant when I take all these precautions??? Am I just worrying too much? I don't have a pregnancy test or I would take one. I know you're not supposed to worry until a week has gone by but I'm going crazy. Please help, I don't want a baby!
I just thought of something. Since my last period, because of the IBS mainly, I have started taking a lot of antacids and different vitamins. I am taking two Zantac 75s, one multivitamin with iron and calcium, one 1000mg vitamin D tablet, and about 6-7 Tums per day. I have also greatly increased my fiber intake. Would this have an affect on my period?
I took Hydroxycut for a few days one week but stopped as I've heard bad things about it. I asked a pharmacist if it could affect my birth control and they said no. But maybe it has affected my period?

Open Question: Now what? I am screwed!?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 06:39:28 GMT)
I got arrested and charged with felonies 16 years ago. Drug related. I spent time in jail, treatment center & 5 years probation because of my charges. During the start of all that I finally met the right woman and she got pregnant with my son, who I will just call B here. When he was born & the doctor handed him to me I then understood what true love was! I immediately became a much more mature adult who stopped partying and stayed away from drugs and trouble since then. He probably saved my life by just being born. His mother started getting in trouble though and eventually left us to start partying with new friends. Damn, wrong woman! I filed for full custody and got it. We have not seen or heard from her since then (14 years now). When he was a year old I really did meet my soulmate & we got married. She is his real mother..not some girl who had a kid and split. Anyways, he calls her mom & we are still married today, 13 years now. About a year ago, my son, "B" started high school and puberty/adolescence at the same time. He has always been a good kid who loves video games and drawing. Over the past year he changed completely and started hanging out with the wrong crowd at school. I started getting calls from the school all the time and would have to leave work to pick him up or have a meeting. Employers would put up with time off for so long and I got fired. With my felony backgroung it is impossible to find another job & with the economy. But somehow I would, just to lose it because of the same thing. 4 jobs in 6 months and have been unemployed for the past 6 months (1 year total) since his behavior. I disciplined him from small to large during this time. Also had him at counselors, psychiatrists, therapists, youth pastor in church and all other assistance. He has been baker acted to behavior clinics 4 times this year and has been failing 5 of 7 classes. He refuses to do homework and schoolwork. He will even tell me no. I am 6'6" tall 230lbs. & a veteran of the marine corps infantry division/combat decorated(alot of reason for drugs when I got out) I can't believe he tells me no. When he gets punished he runs away and won't listen. Well, last week at school he got upset and set fire to a toilet paper holder in school bathroom & was caught. Nobody got hurt thank goodness andthe was little damage 25$. The police went to the school and charged him with Arson 1st degree. Which is a felony of the first degree. He has been expelled from school for 2 years and is currently in juvenile detention. Court is this Thursday. I am devestated! Have not slept in days! Unemployed! Marriage is in trouble from his behavior! I have no friends..everyone either smokes weed or drinks here in the redneck county we live in. Don't want any of that around me or family. My son is screwed, he may have this follow him when he looks for work as an adult. I know from experience that he will only be able to get sorry jobs that only start you around 8-10 $an hour. I am so stressed and don't know what will happen next in my life! Damn! Damn! All I have been doing since he was born is searching for happiness and makng better decisions. What the hell for? What will happen in my life next? I have many more things that have happened with bad things but was during my military service. I will not mention them now. I gotta go, bad luck is waiting for me...DAMN IT!

Open Question: could i have a problem with my uterus?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 04:53:28 GMT)
i think i may have a problem staying pregnant ... i got pregnant by my now ex-boyfriend, the pregnancy was terminated at 9 weeks in august of 2008. and after the procedure i got an infection( i was told they didnt remove everything)... i met my fiancee 6 months later and found out i was pregnant in late march of 2009, on april 7th 2009 we were in a car accident and i had a miscarriage (i was about 8 or 9 weeks). we were devastated! then in early july i found out i was pregnant again. i was scared i would have another miscarriage at about 8 weeks. i was relieved when i made it to 9 weeks. i went to my pre-natal appointment, and everything looked fine. the doctor tried to find the heartbeat but couldnt hear it. i was told it might be to early. i went back at 12 weeks and the doctor listened for the heartbeat but again couldnt hear it. i was then sent for an ultrasound. i was even more devastated when i found out that we didnt even have a baby! i had what was called a "molar pregnancy". pretty much there was a problem with the sperm or egg and i had a placenta growing inside me for 12 weeks. i had a d&c performed september 18 2009. we have been trying to get pregnant now since november of last year. we desperately want to have a baby, but im afraid that i cant since my first pregnancy was terminated! after the procedure was performed i was told i might not be able to have kids. is this true? or were my pregnancies just too close together, and i hadnt completely healed yet?
any info would be greatly appreciated!
to those who think im a horrible person for having an abortion .... the ex-boyfriend left me when he found out i was pregnant and told me he would rather continue to smoke crack than start a family with me. and im one of those people who believe its unfair to the child to not have both parents there to learn from

Open Question: Could I be pregnant if?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 01:59:11 GMT)
Okay so I had sex with my boyfriend 3 weeks ago and took Althea Contraceptive Pills the morning after that night. *I we had sex at around 11pm, 7 rounds and took the pill at 8-9am* But then when I took it, it wasn't at the same time. Sometimes I would take it at 8pm or 10am. and I missed a day of taking it. and also after the sex I peed *if that makes any difference, please tell me*
I took a pregnancy test days after my missed period and it turned negative. I feel abdomen pains but it might be gas.
How many percent am I possibly pregnant?
and can somebody also explain the abdomen movements i'm feeling.
Thank you so much.
and he didnt came inside me.
also the abdomen pain feels like the one I get before or when I am having my menstruation.

Open Question: Can I be Pregnant? Or could it just be my head?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 01:11:59 GMT)
I had Sex a week1/2 a go, I'm noticing nausea that comes and goes through out the day
and just a tad bit Breast Tenderness. I am also noticing a lot of discharge and HUGE back pains. I feel bloated 24/7 now for the last couple of day's. I also see a little bit of veins on my breasts like large ones not clear but I notice them now. It's weird because I will be sick to my stomach like nauseous but at the same time I'll be really Hungary. But my QUESTION is could I already really be having pregnancy symptoms after only a week in a half? or Is it possible that I could be just thinking that I am? I read somewhere that If I'm trying to get pregnant my brain will make me want to believe that I am. what do you think? I would take a test but it has only been a week 1/2 but I'm anxious so I want peoples opinions. Thanks
