Pregnancy & Parenting - 19 September 2006

Hi, i am 19 and was told that i have PCOS last month( i am also on Ortho tri cyclen LO but was put on this to to make my periods regular) but she also said that i don't show signs of having cyst on my ovarys. but she is not treatin me for PCOS. is she not doin anything because i didn't say that i want to have kids yet? because me and my B/F(20) talked it over and we know we are ready Money wise and Time a baby wouldn't be a problem.

So should i ask her to put me on the Metformin? we havn't TTC yet just once and it didn't work but that could be form the B/C. So should we TTC first and if it does work try the Metformin or just go ahead and do the Metformin? And also did this drug really work for any of u, if so how long did it take?

I recently enrolled my grandson in a playgroup. I thought this would be a good place for him to learn sharing and to interact with other children as he has never gone to daycare. Parents have the option of staying with their children or going into a parenting discussion. There are about 15 children ages 18 months to 4 years and two "aides". There are 2 activity areas for things like playdo and coloring. There are places to drive trucks, read, play house and dress up. There is no structure at all. No one encourages the kids to play together, breaks up fights, plays with the kids. If one cries he is taken to his Mom who must leave the discussion and return to the playroom. Playgroup is 2 hours, once a week and costs $12.
This is not what I was expecting. Please tell me your playgroup experiences or other ideas for my child to interact with other children.

Ok I sarted on the fourth and had a day period as usual this month. On one of the websites I found it said that I could ovulate anywhere from the 14th to the 18th. I just went to the BR and am still a little moist so I am wondering how long my actual cycle may be. I was thinking it was 27 day cycle.

Here are the facts:
My boyfriend and i were broken up for several months.
I had begun dating another guy. He and I had sexual intercourse. Only once. This one time, he DID use a condom, but the condom got stuck inside of me when he pulled out. Around the time he and I had sexual intercourse, I had been anticipating my period. And a couple of days after he and I had intercourse, I had my period.
I ended up finding out that THAT guy had a girlfriend that I knew nothing about. I dumped him.
I got back with my ex. A couple of weeks after my period (around the time i would have been ovulating), He and I had sex multiple times with no protection, not even the pull-out method.
The next month, I had no period. I waited a couple more weeks, then took a test and it was positive. My doc's due date goes along perfectly with my ex, but I am always making him reassure me that my due date isnt off by those two weeks. Is it possible that i'm pregnant by the other guy? what do you think?

Any reason to be worried?
I was recently legaly seperated but now we got back together and its working out good , during that time I was seperated I had sex with a old freind just once and I have been worried she could be pregnant. She had her tubes tied 17 years ago and she is 41 and she thinks i am nuts, She has had 2 normal periods and even took a home pregnancy test just to shut me up which turned out negative but I am a worry wart.

What do you guys think am I just be stupid and need to stop worrying about her being pregnant?

Also please don't flame me I am just a nervious person who always fears the worst with everything

Ok- yesterday I went in for my first ultrasound. It was a transvaginal ultrasound due to me being early in my pregnancy. They told me I am not 6 weeks along, the baby is 11mm and I am 8 weeks along. I was happy to hear that. I saw the baby and I got to hear the heartbeat. I got like 12 photos printed for me, the father and our famalies but I am wondering what exactly I am seeing here. I can see the baby and also the yolk sak clearly. What I dont understand is when looking at the ultrasound am I actually seeing the babys body parts. I swear I see the babies skull, shoulder, arm and other parts. These photos look very definative and not just a blob. Am I really seeing what I think and not just a figmant of my imagination. Help me out moms.

I am 18 and a freshmen in college. I just found out on monday that i am pregnant by someone that i love. He wants to have this baby but i dont know how we are going to work this out. I go to school an hour away from my home town so my mother said she would keep the baby for me and i could go to school during the week and come home on the weekend. My school also has a daycare and a program for students that have children. So my real question is should i keep the baby with me up at my school or should i let my mother keep my baby during the week while i continue my education?

to carry out the work, he is popular and there do not seem to be any obvious reasons for him not to be there. He goes out for school at 7.30 (more than ample travel time) and arrives home at the correct time, he never goes to registration but goes to a couple of lessons throughout the day. He is driving me mad at the moment and does not seem to respect me or my wishes, I've tried taking him into class but this was not a long term solution and he didn't go when i stopped taking him.
There has been rumours that he has been smoking cannabis but I have spoken to him about this and gone through the pro's and cons etc but he obviously denies it.
He has a brother in yr 8 at the same school and there are no problems with him (despite his poor role model), I'm beside myself with him and don't know what to do - I am currently facing a fine of £50 because of him (if I get it he won't be getting pocket money for a long time) but even him knowing this has not made him revise his ways. advice pls

ok this is my 2nd question...basically i'm late on my period ( about 3 weeks ) i'm tired and wanna sleep ALL the time, my whole mid section feels bigger to me ( like i can't suck it in ) and my fiancee keeps saying my boobs look bigger. i'm spotting, but it's so light and so infrequent ( i'm used to a heavy flow lasting almost a week ) but i do have slight cramping ( it comes and goes in the morning and late at night only ) and here again i'm used to being in bed with a heating pad becuz my cramps are so bad...so with all this...are these signs that i'm pregnant?

We have yet to decide on a boy's name for this baby. So far it's down to just a few names... Cliff Ellis(or maybe Elias), Cliff Andrew, and Cliff Gavin. We both like these names so it's pretty much a toss of the 3-sided coin here, we just can't decide. Cliff is a family name on her side that we want to use and the middle names are names that we've picked out and like. I don't much like the name Cliff for a baby so I will probably use his middle name and call him either Eli, Andrew, or Gavin. Which one do you think is best?

If the baby is a girl though, we do have a name picked out - Samantha Lillian. Samantha after my brother Samuel who was killed 6 years ago (in 6 days) and Lillian because we both really like the name. What do you think of this one?

My daughter will be 13 next month and needs to shave her legs and under her arms but now she is telling me that kids tease her because she does not shave her arms. I never shaved my arms when I was younger nor did any of my friends except the few who swam competitively. Is this something that girls are doing now? I don't want my daughter shaving her arms so she is going to have to learn to combat the teasing - any suggestions.

:::update::::....so today was day 7 of my missed period. It has been a week since I was supposed to start. My best friend bought me a pregnancy test this morning, and I took it this afternoon. (the instructions that came with it stated that you could test anytime of day if it has been days after your missed period and if you haven't drank a large amout of fluids, which I hadn't) I used the "pee in cup" and then dip method(the insert said you could do that way, or the pee on strip way...i chose the cup).....waited two minutes...and the test was negative. i hope that there were no defects in the test and that i will now be relieved from the stress, and hopefully start. Do you guys think the tests are accurate? And when do you think I will get my period finally? How long should I wait before I test again if I dont get it soon?
(if you don't know my situation, search for my first question)
