my four mth old has thrush, yet again. we went to the doc thursday for a week old runny nose and cough, she diagnosed sinus infection and prescribed amoxcillin. Gave it monday, tuesday he had thrush everywhere. doc says finish anitibiotics-still have 8 days worth-before treating thrush! but he is miserable, should i make him suffer for over a week? cant i treat the thrush and then give him something else for sinus? plus they gave me nystatin again which did not work last time. anyone know anything that would get rid of his sinus infection w/out unnecessary antibiotics?

Hi people,

I am TTC. My periods have been pretty regular and my last period was around 25-26 July. However, last month it came about 4 days earlier on 22 Aug. It normally lasts 5 days but this one lasted for only about 3-4 days. The flow didn't seem too heavy as it normally would be. Would it be possible that it's implantation bleeding?

I have also had constant cramps, which I only get during menstruation or mid-cycle, since 22 Aug till now. I have tried a couple of HPTs but they were all negative. The last one I tried was yesterday. If what I had was implantation bleeding, then how long does it take to be tested positive?

I have no other "possible signs" except for the constant cramps, a bloated stomach which never subsided after the "so-called" period and slight sensitivity to my nipples.

What do you think? Appreciate any comments or advice.

Alright, this last Saturday, my boyfriend & I had sex. We used a SPERMICIDAL condom. He came & he stayed in me for a little while longer. As he pulled all the way out, we think that's when the condom slipped off. The condom was half in me & half out, so I could easily pull it out. That's why we think it was when he pulled out, that's when it came off. All the sperm seemed to still be in the condom. There were no rips or tears. Also, as far as we know, there was no sperm that spilled out, but we don't know. If there was, we think it would have been minimal. But, it was a spermicidal condom.. & we think it would have killed most the sperm. Should I be worried? & Is there a big chance I am pregnant? & I don't know if this helps, but I was just put on birth control, I started maybe 1 1/2 weeks ago, I know it's not supposed to kick in until a month.. but maybe it had a little effect?

I had a miscarriage 12 days ago today and i'm about to give up on everything, i'm in college, working and just got married on august 11th, my life was going so great and we really wanted this baby. now it's all i can do to get out of bed and go to work and school, i'm really depressed and no one seems to want to talk about it or even acknowledge it. except my husband. i've been doing really good except for the last coupe of days i've been so depressed that i can't stand it. i want so bad to be happy and i'm trying really hard but for the last 2 days it's been impossible. i had my blood work taken again today and i was hoping that my pregnancy horomones would be back to 0 but they are at 49 so i have to go back in 2 weeks. i was 12 weeks preggo and they said my baby was 8weeks 3 days gestation my Dr's dont seem to know anything about why this happened or when it's ok to try again, or anything. i'm trying my hardest to be strong but i think my all my strength is gone, I need some support

how do you feel about your teen dating another teen out of their race?..for example..whites and blacks.
i am white and i have been with my fiance for 5 years.. and he is mixed. (white/black) and my parents never agreed with it..until not too long ago. i just want to know why parents are like that?..whats the difference we are all people and come from the same place and the same world?!..i always told my parents.. would you rather want me with a white man that beat me and was abusive and didnt care about me.. or a black man that takes good care of me and loves me and would do anything for me..but im just wondering and just want to see your opinion.

last month i got my period 4 days early so therefore my cycle was only 25 days long. does that mean i'll be ovulating a bit earlyer than usual?

will my cycle go back to 30-32 days after a while?

Do you think the age 1 is to young to start potty training? I started potty training my son yesterday and tomarrow he turns one. Iam not forcing him to potty train when he wants off the potty I take him off.
But since I started last night he has pooped 3 times in the potty and has peed 3-4 times. I think he is doing very well but I have been getting alot of negative input about it even though Iam not forcing him.

I have a 2 month old son and would rather not give him the vaccines or at the very least I dont think he needs them all right away. Wouldnt it be better to wait untill he has his own immunity before introducing any foreign bacteria in to his body intentionally.

I am 20 years old, 13 weeks pregnant, and homeless. In the one time in life a girl really needs her family, I have no one to turn to. I was once a student at USF but I got screwed over by an ex-roommate and got evicted and ended up having to stay with a new boyfriend, which turned into a horrible situation, but not before getting pregnant. I have been couch surfing with various friends for a month now and I just need some stability so I can get a job, but I can't do that right now since I do not know what city I will be in from day to day. If anyone knows of any places that offer help in the Tampa Bay area, please let me know. Thanks.

Usually males need less time to use a restroom than females. And moms often don't like to send their male children into a men's restroom alone so why not create family restrooms out of some of the male restrooms in public places. A family restroom could be restricted to women with children of either gender. No men or boys would be permitted over a certain age, perhaps 12.

Did you go on to full term, delivering a healthy baby?
At what point did you test positive?

I am just a little paranoid as I recently miscarried at only 5 weeks. I had such a low HCG level, I did not test positive until 1-2 days after my missed period. And then lost the baby. I just want to be sure if I have a low HCG level to start - I still have a chance of having a successful pregnancy.

My period was suppose to start today but did not....

Any who can offer their experience on this matter would be appreciated... no obnoxious male responses please!
