Okay, so, I've had 4 blood tests now. 3 that say yes or no (qualitative), and 1 that gives exact numbers of HCG in your blood (quantitative) the last 1 done the this past fri-all neg, the quant coming back <1 @ what would have been 3 mths .I know it sounds stupid, but I still feel like I could be pregnant.I would have conceived on July 4 or 5, making me what? 4-4 1/2 months along? Is it possible to have a blood test come back negative for HCG that far along, or am I just being paranoid? I have had a withdrawal period every month because I'm on the pill and my doc said to keep taking them until I get a pos blood test or miss my period. Also, I've heard that when you're pregnant that your cervix is soft and slightly open. Sorry if it's TMI but I checked the last 2 days and mine is soft and slightly open and higher now. I even have the flutter movement in my lower stomach! Could something like this happen? A woman is 4 months preg and no test shows up positive? I need more answers. Help!!

Trying to lose a beer belly and slight love handles, what foods are my best bet to not gain more pounds while I am trying to lose them? Do I really have to stay away from beer completely?

I would like to know if anyine has any experience with this. I researched it online and I think I might have the social phobia. I feel very uncomfortable in social situations, giving presentations in class, sometimes even talking to friends. I get very nervous and I don't know what to do about it. I was wondering if anyone might know any herbal remedies for this type of problem.
Thank you

I went to a walkin clinic last week because I have backpain and I've had it for years. They did an ANA bloodtest and it came back abnormal. When I called them to find out where to go from there, she said that it was positive, but my RF factor was negative. I've ben trying to read up on this, but I don't really understand it. i go to the doctor in the morning, but I want a sort of heads up as to what I might hear. Rheumatoid arthritis has been present in every female in every generation on my maternal side.

Has this happened to anyone? I feel like my nerves are crossed. When I use my hands they seem to mirror each other. When I smoke a cigerette in one hand, the fingers in the other copy the position of the other hand- its an involuntary hand movement. Can anyone offer any advice? Is it very common?

Does anyone know the formula for calculation my GFR. I know That my dialysis unit Davita has a website called Davita.com and I can get on there and they have a built in GFR calculater but it only uses three factors. Age, race and creatinin level to calculate the GFR. This helps but I know that it is far from accurate. I have seen the formula before and there are seven or more factors needed. I have a usual GFR of 16% to 18 % GFR every month using the Davita calculater and I have to goto dialysis 2 times a week. I have been told that if I drop down under 15% that I will have to go three times a week. Lord knows that I do not want that. Believe it or not, but none of the Techs at the unit know the correct formula. I have had a docter do it for me before and when using the correct formula my GFR is 3 or 4 points higher. If you know the what I am talking about please give me the formula, and explain any hard points that I may need to know when calculatiog. Thank You
