Pregnancy & Parenting - 7 August 2006

My husband and I had sex yesterday (am) this was the 14th day of my cycle. According to fertilityfriend I don't ovulate until the 9th (wednesday). Do you think this encounter is promise for pregnancy or should we try again tonight or tomorrow morning? Thanks ladies!

My husband has had full custody of his daughter for over a year, his ex signed over custody of her own will and said such to the judge. ie: she was not bribed, intimidated or coerced. His ex nows says she WAS intimidated and coerced and changed her mind, says she made a mistake and wants full custody now. We have offered her additional visitation time and tried to work out a compromise but she says she ONLY will take full custody. She says that since we are having a baby of our own she wants her daughter back because she is lonely and miserable. My husband is a great man, and has been a fantastic father, she has nothing but unprovable lies to say about him. SInce there is nothing wrong about the current custody arrangements other than his ex keeps changing his mind, I don't think the judge will or should change anything. We have a great lawyer, but she has a lawyer that seems to not be bothered that she is constantly lying. Anyone have any input?

Don't you think there should be a law where if a teen get pregnant she must give up that child for adoption? There are so many couples in this country that want to have a child but can't. And these kids just keep popping them out & keeping them. What do you think??? If yes, how can we get the ball rolling on this.

I have been asked to be a surrogate for a gay couple, whom I love very much. Although I am honored this is a very hard decision for me to make! Is there anyone here who has done this before? Any opinions?

Since I've had my son 3 1/2 years ago, my metabolism is not what it was before. I have a really hard time losing weight, even though I eat really well and exercise at least 3 times a week. I feel like giving up and being chubby(ish) forever, but I know it is not healthy. Do any of you have this too? What can I do to kickstart my metabolism?

The problem is that before he had his crib in my room in the other apt. so he was used to sleeping in the same room with me. Now i recently got monitors for him to sleep in his own room but it's hard for me as much as its for him to be in a room by himself. He doesnt like to sleep in the same bed with me just in the same room. How can i get over this?

Were you told that you conceived 14 days after your LMP even though you know thats not true. My ultrasound date was a month behind this date .. even before my LMP, so when I asked him if I conceived before my period all he said is "You concieive before a missed period" Unless my u/s date was wrong but do you think if I conceived on Jan 20th (according to LMP) the u/s date would say my gestation age dated back from Dec 22nd? I was 22w5d when i had this done. I was told that all fetus' grow at the same rate until 20 wks.

What are you guys thinking??? I see you guys asking and looking for a boyfriend/girlfriend. Wondering about how to have sex. Asking about dating. Wondering if you are pregnant. Why?? Why are you guys doing these things?? At 11-13 years old I was still into barbie. I didn't want a boyfriend. And sex, forget it!! I never knew anybody at your age wanting a boyfriend/girlfriend or having sex. In fact I really didn't know anybody that was having sex until my Jr. year of high school.
I don't understand why your parents are allowing you to do this to yourself. And if they are not allowing you why are you disobeying them. They tell you "NO" for a reason. They love you and know what is best for you. Please respect your parents and do what they say. To respect your parents it to respect your self!

Okay, I know this doesn't really belong in the teen section, but I figure there are alot of smart adults here who could give me some ideas. I want to go to the upcoming Aerosmith concert, the only problem is, ALL the tickets are sold out except for the $200 ones. I'll need two tickets and that would be $400 total. I only have around $150 bucks. How can I raise money quickly to get tickets before those are gone too?

Ok i wake up everyday in a house that i feel i dont belong in, i wish i was some where else, i do all i can to get out of this house but nothing works, i finally find a plan to get out but then i realize that would ruin my life so much more. i feel like my life is useless and nothing good will come out of it. I think i finally found my goal in life but theres no way to fulfil it without losing everthing I live for and want so in te end i can never fulfil this goal for myself because it would just make me lose pretty much my life. Is this what my life should be like?? Im only a teenager and im not depressed, im actually a very happy go lucky girl who stuck in the middle of the real world, and her fantasy.

I went to register my son for school last week and noticed this girl in the 6th grade very much pregnant... What the hell is going on in this world, that these kids feel the need to have sex and then end up pregnant..Dont they realize sex is for mature people? Im not a prude or anything but why would kids want to throw their entire child hood away for one night of pleasure and in the 6th grade I wouldnt think they would know what pleasure is. Why cant kids be kids and leave the mature adult stuff to the adults??

My daughter and i are trying to get her ready to use the potty, and she loves to use the potty, but it seems liek she will do fantastically one day and horribly the next. when we are at home i let her run around ether barebum or with a thick pair of undies (depending upon the clean supply of undies) and it seems that she jsut doesnt' want to tell me that she wants to go to the potty some days. When she does do this however i get really excited wiht her and we both clap our hands and say "yey" and its jsut a really fun time. she seems to really enjoy it, so now i'm at a stand still how to keep her progressing, instead of making messes on our floors all day. any ideas?

I just had my first baby about six weeks ago. I stopped bleeding around four weeks, and now all of a sudden I'm bleeding again. I'm currently breastfeeding, so I do not think its my menstural cycle? Can anyone tell me why my bleeding stopped for awhile and now its back again?

Are they too lazy to ask for and find an elevator? Do they consider what would happen if their child fell out of the stoller while on the escalator? Have they considered what would happen to the people behind them on the escalator if the stroller got seriously stuck and they couldn't get it loose?

Something I've been wondering about lately: generally, if someone insults me, I blow it off, but with the kids it's different and more personalized. What's a good way to teach kids how not to be bothered when insulted by someone else?

My husband and I were trying to conceive and I took an EPT test (+/-) and it was a +... just to be sure I bought some First Response tests (1 line not pregnant, 2 lines pregnant)... and I had 2 lines. The next day I re-took one of each and they were positive as well. (4 positive tests now)... We both really want this baby, we are not on anything for infertility, nor are we on any medications... what are the chances that these tests are incorrect?

Note: I have a doctor's appointment made up as well.
