I have been off the pill for over a year. My periods are always irregular and I have numerous ultrasound scans to check for cysts and any other problems. There were some small polips found but nothing major according to my doctor. I have also now been refered to the hospital to be tested for endomitriosis. I have had unprotected sex in the past (with a partner who was STi checked) for 6 months and have never fallen pregnant! My new partner has had a vasectomy so my concern is when he gets a reversal - will I even be able to conceive?!?!? Please help - any advice is welcome. :)

I've been having pain in my ovaries for 3 days now - is this normal?

They aren't quite the same as period pains...

I've also had an infection of my urinary tract, so it could be to do with that, but the pain is more toward the sides (ovaries) ,than my bladder.

my girlfriends sister is having a baby shower for her 3rd baby. i thought that a mother was only supposed to have one with her first baby. i believe that this is all about receiving attention and getting 'stuff.' does anybody else feel the same way?

I have a stepson from a marriage I am no longer in. I brought him up from the age of 1, he is now 9. (His biological father has never been on the scene) He sees me as his dad and i see him as my son.

My question is what can i do legally to have parental rights over him. I don’t think i can adopt him as I am no-longer married to his mother.

I want to make him legally mine so to speak so I have a say in his up-bringing and if anything happens to me he will inherit my stuff. His mother has agreed to me pursuing this

I know I can become his legal guardian but I do not get parental rights. What are my options?

Hi, Ive allways been open with my 14 (nearly 15) year old about sex, relationships, puberty etc and have brought him books in the past to help explain stuff but I need a good book thats for his age range explaining everything in more detail (as hes turning to the internet for information and what is coming up is not information!). Any suggestions would be great! Serious answers please! Cheers!

I had high fever for two days for which I took paracetamol since then I have been coughing .I didn't take anything for cough as I thought it better to avoid any medicines as far as I can as they will circulate through my baby too. Now its been 10 days but the cough is not going.

No matter how many burps she has, my daughter is still spitting up a lot after some feeds. Pediatrician diagnosed acid reflux and said to keep her upright. It seems to bother her, especially the really big ones. Any tips appreciated.

If a blind person doesnt know what anything looks like what the hell does he dream about? They can't even have wet dreams because they don't know what to imagine.

I have seen reusable nappies made from bamboo pulp. Do they work? Do they leak? Do they last as long as other types of reusables?

She is very high maintenance. I'm at the end of my tether, shouting constantly (which doesn't work!), exhausted and undermined by my partner who says I'm too hard on her. Before you even say, I wont be smaking her....
