I missed my 5th pill in my pill packet. I had sex 2 days before that and then again 5 days later. Since the 12th day of my packet i have been gettin cramps in my stomach which is way too early for me start gettin cramps because i am no where near my period date. I hardly ever ger cramps and when i do its usually the day before my period starts. I have also been discharging more than usual and my moods are pretty heavy but this could also be stress of heartache. I have recently suffered from tonsilitis which meant i was on antibiotics and the pill is not as effective. I started my antibiotics on monday 4th sept and finished monday 11th sept. I finished my pill packet on the tuesday 12th sept and i start my period on friday. I had unprotected sex today. I know that there is a high chance that i may have gotten pregnant because the pill is not effective.

Suggestions on disciplining a 14 month old. He is starting to hit and sometimes after repeatedly saying no touch he does any way. I do not want to hit what about starting time out.

Is there certain people who have a higher chance of still having their periods? For example, small women or larger women?

I am breastfeeding my 3 week old and sometimes she gets fussy like she wants to suck on my breast but not nurse. Iv'e tried the NUK newborn pacifiers; silicone and rubber. She hates them. When I give her a paci during one of her fits it pushes her over the edge. Is there a paci more like a womans breast? I tried giving her my breast but shes sucks for a few secs and pushes it away. I don't know what else to do.

My son has a habit of banging his head on a pillow or the mattress in order to send himself to sleep! It started when he was around 9 months, I thought it would be a temporary situation but he's 2 years and 3 months now and he continues to do that. Is that normal? Is there a way to stop him or will he just eventually grow out of it?

Aloha everyone,
I don't know if I'm pregnant. I haven't taken any hpt yet because It might be to early to tell. I have a few symptoms: fatigue, moody (more than usual), feeling bloated, nausea, and change of diet (eating a lot more). I feel like I could be. My LMP was Aug. 27, 06. I haven't gotten my period yet. Usually my breasts hurt a few days before I get my period, but nothing yet. I've done the online pregnancy test and one states that the chances are high that I'm pregnant and another tells me that I could be 15%. Can someone please help me out? Thanks..

We just had our 1st child and I have been doing everything, fixing meals, bottles, laundry, house cleaning, caring for the child, while my wife recovers. I have now had to go back to work and now on the second day she gets upsetr cause she had to get up with the child at 330. What do I do?

Understand this is not the 1st time she has acted like a spoiled brat, and I understand I have helped by taking care of her since we came home from the hospital, but it is time for her to grow up and realize it is not about her.

I am near my wits end, HELP!

Hi, girls... URGENT help needed...
I am 4 and half weeks pregnant and was flying from France to Singapore on Sunday... during the flight.. There was some spotting.. when I landed.. I rushed to hospital for check up.. still not able to see fetus yet.. but the whole still there. Yesterday, I started to bleed more than before, with dark red blood... It seems just like 3rd day of period. and the lower stomach has a bit pain. ( Not serious at all ). The doc asked me to go back 2 weeks later but didn't expect to bleed more... what should I do? Should I go to hospital again? Will I lose this one? Really worried right now...
Please kindly provide some advises.
