I have used Clomid at 50cc or mc..however its administered. I heard that there is another med that is more effective at having twins. I really would like to have them. I also heard eating Yams can help....?? Any truth behind that??

My husband and I have been together for 5 years and married for 2.

We are trying for our first baby and hopefully the baby will be born when I am 24/25 and he is 26/27.

We own a home, have plenty of money, careers, etc. and are very happy and stable.

I mentioned to my mother a few months ago that we wanted a baby soon.

She started a fight with me telling me I should wait until I am 30 and how she doesn’t have the time to be a grandma since my two little brothers still live at home. (They are 9 and 13).

I told her that it was our choice and not hers.

She told me it was HER business since I am her child and any children I have will be her grandchildren.

She feels she has a say in the matter because she shat me out!

She hasn’t supported me since I turned 18 and we are not going to rely on her for any help once we have a child.

Do you think its crazy that she thinks us having a baby is her business?

i breastfed my son(2), and my daughter!(16 months) i just stopped breastfeeding my daughter a few weeks ago. is it wrong for me to not want to breastfeed my third baby? i know it's better for them, but, i'm just tired, and it was more work than connection with me and my kids anyway. my son did great, but my baby girl had a hard time from day one. could it be that i'm just scared it'll be harder this time?

I recently applied for a job 33 weeks pregnant and was accepted. It is for an "at home based rep". They did not know I was pregnant when I went on the interview. When I received the e-mail it said "you have training beginning october 9 -november 17. My baby is due Novemeber 14. Okay, so i called them to let them know the situation and now i am waiting for a phone call back.

Can they decide not to hire me?
Will they find some reason to turn me down?
What are my rights?

What's up with these half and half people? You know those people who say abortion is murder when the women uses it as birth control but say it's not murder if the mother couldn't afford the child or if the child had a disability or if the woman was raped. What's up with that? I mean #1, if the child would be born to a mother who couldn't afford them--who says the only solution to that is abortion? Ever heard of adoption! What about if the child had a disability? Well, my grandmother has arthritus--maybe we should just kill her and put her out of her misery! Oh wait, the child would be born with a mental problem? Well, I've seen autistic people who are the happiest people you've ever met in your life but I guess we should just kill babies who are gonna be like them. And the woman was raped? What's the difference between that and a girl who got knocked up by her boyfriend and got dumped by him when he found out she was pregnant?

Ever heard the phrase "Don't compromise what's right?"

I am 35 weeks pregnant and I just went to the bathroom like 30 min ago and wiped blood. It was like spotting blood. I called the doc. and she told me to drink something count my baby's movements for an hour and then call back. So I am doing that, but I am also freaking out. I havent had sex or anything to cause it and I was wondering what else it could be. My mother told me that was how it started when she went into labor. I had braxton hicks all night last night but nothing regular so I didnt worry about it and this morning I woke up feeling like I was on my period and my back was hurting really bad. Any suggestions...please. Anything to help me quit freaking out..I know I shouldnt stress but its hard not to...Im new to this and I was told when you bleed its a bad thing. So some advice would be great. Has anyone gone through this? Thanks for all your help!

My husband works full time (night shift) and after taxes, makes enough to pay my mom for watching our two kids during the week, with maybe $100 left over for "incidentals." The only drawback is that we get a discount on our auto insurance through his employer. What do you guys think of him refusing to be a SAHD? My solution was for him to work weekends--basically enough to keep our auto ins discount, put a few bucks in his pocket, and have some "adult" time with friends/coworkers. He is adamantly refusing. He's working to pay daycare, basically. Right now, we pay all bills off my salary, and other than the auto insurance discount (which would continue if he worked weekends) there is no drawback that I can see to him staying home. Opinions? Advice? Reasons why he should/shouldn't stay home? I'm going to show him all answers, so please be honest (no matter what your opinion is!).

I have been on Ortho-Tricyclyn Lo for almost 2 years now. Last week, I forgot to take my pills two days, so I doubled-up. Then, last Wednesday (9/20) my boyfriend and I had sex. This past Sun, 9/23, was the last day I took my pills. From then on, I have truly forgotten to take them. Today is Thurs. 9/28 and last night at work I went to the bathroom and noticed that I had started spotting and it was brownish-red and chunky (not like when I have a normal period.) I don't know what is going on, but I'm thinking it might just be because I haven't taken my pills for almost 5 days now and my body is "out of whack". What is going on? Has this happened to anyone else and could I possibly be pregnant? Should I take the pills now that I missed or will this cause me to feel sick? Right now, along with the spotting, my stomach is slightly upset and "crampy."
Please help! Thanks.

I am currently 27wks pregnant, and I am finding myself much more attracted to my partner than usual, However, the feeling does not seem mutual. I have expressed concern to him over the last few months, but it always seems to come back to this. Me feeling like dirt because I don't feel attractive.

This is not my first pregnancy, so this feeling is new, I have not felt this before. Let me tell you, if my man was sitting on the couch naked staring at me, I would be all over him. Me on the other hand, I sit there for hours going unnoticed. Just last night I was 1/2 naked on the couch, he glanced at me once, then just turned away like I didn't matter. It happens often and it makes me feel terrible. As I said, I have talked to him about this but to no avail....any suggestions???

I was on the patch about two years ago and I was only on it for about a year. I didn't have a period for 6 months after that. But when I did it has been pretty normal, shorter then what they use to be but they come every 27-28 days. But the problem is that I went on it after I had gotten preg and had an abortion (and please no rude comments about my choice to have an abortion, you don't know the circumstances so don't judge me for it). But now me and my husband have been actively trying for 11 months to conceive and no luck. We also had been having unprotected sex prior to the year of trying and I never got pregnant then either. I had no complications with the abortion, no infections or anything that would have caused a problem. I'm wondering if the patch has something to do with it. Research shows that abortions are pretty safe. I have a 6 year old son but I just haven't gotten pregnant since I went on the patch, only got pregnant before ever using it. Anyone had this problem?
