Last month we tried to concieve with only guessing when I was ovulating. But this month, we have tried everything. We have had sex every 2 days all month long. I ovulated on August 22, and we had sex like 4 times over two days. We have tried missonary position, putting my legs to my chest right after sex, and have had an orgasim at the same time as or after my husband. What are my chances of becoming pregnant?!?

I hate when customers come in and bring their 7, out of control, kids and then complain that they're poor and don't have much money. Um...lady, a condom costs about $2 (a good one at least) and a kid costs $100,000. why do so many stupid/poor people have so many godamn kids??

I live wit my boyfriend of 3 years and we have 7 month old son...and my 8 year old daughter, also lives with us...we live in rented house and he is always late paying the rent...which is cheap...700.00 a month on a 3 bedroom(yeah, the roof leaks in the garage but other than that, not bad for the price), he is late on all the bills...we got the water shut off today, my boyfriend called and we are getting it put back on sometime today but this is how it goes.it's driving me crazy!!!!! i am so frickin stressed. he is still married but seperated for 5 years from this woman in australia, he can not afford to get a divorce which pisses me off...he is driving around with a suspended leicense that they will not renew for a year as he is a habitual offender so if he gets stopped, he will most likely serve time. i take care of our son all day by myself(he is very demanding and he cant even do the bills right with all the work he does. does anyone else deal with something similiar??

and that there's no point "suffering" and you wouldn't have a tooth drilled without pain releif etc etc. I can see the sense in that.

But what if your reasons for avoiding pain releif are to try and minimise some of the side effects from these drugs - nausea vomiting and dizziness from Entonox or Pethidine (Demerol)? Slowing down of labour? Fever, shivers, sickness and loss of mobility from epidural and the increased chance of needing assisted delivery/acceleration/caesarian?

Can proponents of medicated childbirth accept that some women have suffered really badly from side effects from these drugs and might want to try and avoid them to escape these side effects?

I'm still trying to make up my mind about the whole thing (my baby's due in December) but it seems that in the great "to drug or not to drug" debate people assume those who want to "go natural" are pain junkies/treehuggers rather than realise that they may just be worried about the side effects from these drugs?

Why do teenagers (not all) have sex knowing the risk they are taking and then after they have sex they all cry what if Im pregnant? how will I tell my parents? WTF has anyone ever heard of protection or better yet instead of freaking yourself out why even have sex? If your gonna have sex shouldnt you take the proper precautions?

What do you think about the morning after pill going over the counter with doctors notes needed for teens under the age of 18? They are saying it will reduce unplanned pregnancy by half, but I think it is any easy way out for teens who aren't responsible. Do you think that with this there will be more unprotected sex and higher STD statistics?

So my boyfirend and I are moving out together in January. We have been together for two years. We are very excited. Thing is we both have a little debt (around $2000 each). We also need to get a lot of things for the apartment, like furniture and stuff.

I have a daughter and he has a son, so I am also worried about christmas for them. We would wait a little longer, but we cant, his parent have told him January 2007 is his deadline to get out.

How can we pull this off? We need a plan....please give me any ideas. We would like to move out debt free, just so that monkey is off of our backs.

PS We both go to school. I work 35 hours a week and he works like 30, but he is going to get a second job after his custody hearing.
We each make around $1500 a month. there are few other bills invovled, not totaling more than $400 on each side. Plus the expenses of raising two kids.

Since having my son in March, my ability to orgasm during sex has diminished. I had a cesarean. I'm only about 5 pounds heavier than when I got pregnant. I am concerned. I've never had a problem like this before. My husband is wonderful and feels awful that he cannot "get me there". I know its not his fault. Is there anything I/we can do. I'm very frustrated! Please only serious answers!

My son began to sit up last week, and he's gotten quite good at it. Now he's trying to sit up in his infant car seat...he hasn't really outgrown it yet but he will be 7 months at the end of this month, and I was wondering if there was a standard as to when to put him in an upright car seat (rear-facing, of course)? Something other than "Wait until his feet dangle over then edge of the one he has."

Question: please read VERY IMPORTANT to anyone that knows a child?

Details of Violation: McDonalds, Chuck E Cheese, Discovery Zone... Some of you might not be parents, but you may have nieces, nephews, grandchildren or friends with children. This will pertain to you too. As I read the following, my heart sank. I urge each and every one of you to pass this on to as many people as you can. I cannot stress how important this is! This is very disturbing news. In addition to the following true story, I will also add that my own sons were playing in the ball pit at Chuckee Cheese one day. One son lost his watch, and was very upset. We dug and dug in those balls, trying to find the watch. Instead, we found vomit, food, feces, and other stuff I do not want to discuss. I went to the manager and raised hell. Come to find out, the ball pit is only cleaned out once a month. I have doubts that it is even done that often. i will add more

PRETTY SCARY!! Hi. My name is Lauren Archer, my son Kevin and I lived in Midland,TN. On October 2nd, 1999 I took my only son to McDonald's for his 3rd birthday. After he finished lunch, I allowed him to play in the ball pit. When he started whining later on, I asked him what was wrong, he pointed to the back of his pull-up and simply said "Mommy, it hurts." I couldn't find anything wrong with him at that time. I bathed him when we got home, and it was at that point when I found a welt on his left buttock. Upon investigating, it seemed as if there was something like a splinter under the welt. I made an appointment to see the doctor the next day, but soon he started vomiting and shaking, then his eyes rolled back into his head.
2006-07-27Additional
From there, we went to the emergency room. He died later that night. It turned out that the welt on his buttock was the tip of a hypodermic needle that had broken off inside. The autopsy revealed that Kevin had died from a heroine overdose. The next week, the police removed the balls from the ball pit. There was rotten food, several hypodermic needles: some full, some used; knives, half-eaten candy, diapers, feces, and the stench of urine. If a child is not safe in a child's play area then where? You can find the article on Kevin Archer in the October 10,1999 issue of the Midland Chronicle.

Please forward this to all loving mothers, fathers and anyone who loves and cares for children! Don't think it's just McDonald's either or that this is something that just started. When my oldest son who is now 9 was small the area Burger King closed their play area for awhile for "remodeling" because in another town there had been an incident similar to the one described above that happen @ a Burger King. A little boy had been playing in a ball pit & started complaining of his legs hurting. He later died too. He was found to have snake bites all over his legs & buttocks. When they cleaned the ball pit they found that there was a copperhead nest in the ball pit. He had suffered numerous bites from a very poisonous snake. I wouldn't let my son play in the ball pit after that. I was lucky even though that wasn't at our Burger King or McDonald's it could have been. I still have my son. Please send this on so that it doesn't happen to someone you know. Please send this to everyone!!!!

Ok-

My period is ALWAYS on time, it's like clockwork. Well my hubby and I are TTC and my period is 2 days late. I have period cramps- but I am also constipated so I don't know if that is contributing to the cramps. A few times I felt like I got my period- but it never came. I still have CM (the same kind I get before my period) but again- it isn't here. Any advice?

Has anyone noticed whether or not there is a difference in sensations experienced with PMS and with early pregnancy? I am asking because I had my first IUI done on August 16. Normally, I would have breasts that feel like 2 big bruises right now in anticipation of my period... this usually starts a week before my period is set to start. Instead, right now I have sore, tender nipples. My breasts themselves aren't sore... just the nipples... it's almost a burning sensation when they come into contact with anything... bra, clothes etc.

Serious answers only, please.

The father of my child was cheating on me while pregnant and attempted to hit me when i confronted him. He hasnt helped me from the moment we found out we were pregnant. july i found out he was cheating on me and i tried to convince him to change so we could be a family and he let me know he didnt want anything to do with me like i did something to him. he doesnt call to see if i need anything or help and neither does his family. he just wants me to contact him when i go into labor and thats when he'll start being around. so i dont want him or his family in my childs life due to the fact he was goin to hit me. he said he wasnt and he only did that cause he was mad. so from that i took that he would more than likely yell, shake or hit my child and blame it on being mad! now i am goin to move to another state due to not being happy where i am now.
