I was wondering what the lines on a test stick meant !? When the test is positive does that mean the egg is released or it will be realeased in 12 - 24 hrs ? We have been trying for 10 months with no luck and have been starting sex from the day i get a positive result, and not doing it for abt a week berfore hand so the sperm can build up !? also any tips?

Many women fear labor (the process of giving birth that is!). Why should only women suffer the terrible pain and not the men share with them? Here is a suggestion to share the pain: while in labor pains, the woman should hold on to her man's testicles. That should do the trick of pain sharing. Highly unrecommended if you intend have more children with the same man...

Okay...I am talking about a situation a friend of mine is in. He has been fighting for custody of his daughter for a while and the judge placed her in a home with an 8 year old boy whose mother incourages him to masturbate. I found it desturbing and was hoping to get some insight as to why one might do that? He also found out that they bathe the children together. The girl is 6 or 7..I can't remember off the top of my head. Is it just me or is something wrong with this picture??

I normally shop Old Navy, Shopko, Wal-Mart, Target, and Kmart; however, they don't have too much out yet as far as fall/winter clothing. I was hoping to buy some now while I have a little extra money that I didn't spend on a summer vacation.

Do boys like to have sex or safe sex? How do they like it more than girls or do girls like more than boys?

I am 12 weeks pregnant. I just had a prenatal exam four days ago and the heartbeat was fine and the midwife told me my baby was perfectly healthy.

that day, MONDAY, I ate some eggs and bacon for breakfast, a BLT for lunch, and a roasted beef loin, mashed potatoes, garlic bread and some stuffing for dinner. I also had orange juice and water throughout the day.

At 4 AM Tuesday, I woke up to severe stomach cramps. I hurt for about 2 hours before I managed to fall asleep. I was gassy and my husband thought it was gas pain.

At 6:40 I had a diarrhea like bowel movement.

At 10:30 Tuesday I had another one.

By the time I got home from work at 5 I was tired and fell asleep and slept through the night fine.

This morning, Wed, I had another severe bowel movement. I feel cramp-like in my stomach, the muscles seem achy, and I am scared.

Is my baby at risk? Is it my baby causing it? Is it food poisoning? How should I eat or treat it?

If I feel worse by 6 pm I am going to ER.

With my first baby (in 2000) I gained 48 pounds and didn't really show until about 5 months. With this one, I am 14 weeks, and it is obvious I am pregnant.

What do you think about mercury being in a preservative that is added to a vaccine that is given to your child? How do you feel about the chance of your child becoming autistic because of the mercury in the vaccine? How do you feel about pharmeceutical companies not being held countable for the reactions it may cause? If you would like to contact our President, your Governor, Senators, and Representatives go to A-Champ.org to send a letter to them with your concerns on this issue!

That is what they are doing. Girls are coming on here making up pregnancy symptoms to get an answer on if they might be pregnant or not. Face it, if they hear a possibility that they are they sit at home on their computer and think that wow, this is going to be great and my boyfriend will have to stay with me forever. And if not, they will make up symptoms to their friends who are like oh yea I get to babysit! Its rediculous! Girls you need to find better ways to use your time. Please dont "Want" to be pregnant or feel the need to keep your boyfriend, Its not worth your life. What does everyone else thing about the "false pregnancy symptoms" for attention?

Over the years with each of my two other children I went the route of 100% cotton training pants when it came time to get them out of diapers, and into big pants so to speak. Is there any other mothers that have used, or still use the old style of cotton waffle knit baby soakers for toilet training?
