I was on Yasmin for about 8 months. I stopped taking them early Septmeber, I got my period the 10th i had it for 5 days. Two days later I started to bleed a little bit, very lightly for about a day or two. Ever since then i have yet to get my period. The last couple of days my boobs hurt a little bit when I grab them. I have been gasy, moody, I have been eating more...All symptoms of both getting your period and pregnancy. So my question is pregnant or is it something else?? * Me and my boyfriend do have unprotected sex alot and he does get off in me* The people I have asked and talked to say you can't get pregnant for atleast 2 to 3 months after you get off the pill!?!?!?!?!? Please help!!!!!!

I currently work a full time job, but it interfers with my idea of what it taks to be a good mom. Plus, this job could take me away from my family for months at a time. I started this job before I had my daughter. Unfortunately, I don't have the option of just quiting...so, since my husband and I want more kids anyway, we've started TTC (Trying to conceive) so that I will be able to "quit" my job. It's kind of a weird situation, but please just accept that I really am in an odd situation.

It's going to be a struggle, but we'll have the support of our families while we make the transition and my husband will be able to work a job he'll actually like. Unfortunately, my job has been priority and he's kind of had to work around me. I like my job but, after almost 2 years of supporting the family, It's only fair to give my husband a chance to take over. He wants to.

I asked this in TTC, but I wanted to post it elsewhere to get a broader audience for more advice.

My baby is 5 1/2 weeks old and we just switched her to soy formula yesterday. She has bad gas and fusses a lot. Enfamil Gentlease helped a little for a little while, but her gas got worse again. Doc suggested trying soy. I realize this still may not work (this is the 4th type of formula and I use Dr. Brown bottles and gas drops), but if I am going to see results, how long will it take? Also, are there any negative effects of switching to soy?

hello, I was with my ex for 7 years and he was a mean man, very abusive, i went on to try to have babies with him, awful i know, but i thought this would make him happy, anyways, we had no luck, he went to the doc and was fine and we were in the middle of testing me when i left him. As far as our testing got i was good to go, but im really worried that i may not be able to have any kids because we used no protection for about 4 yrs and he came everytime in me, shouldn't i have gotton pregnant one of those times?!..Some people have told me that some womens eggs are picky about sperm, or sometimes the sperm and egg just dont match up..is this crap or somewhat true?

I think I might be pregnant. I took a test and it came out negative.. but I'm not due for my period for another week or so. It might be too soon to tell. But in case I am..

I have been moving boxes, I mean they are not too heavy, but a little. I know when you are pregnant you are not supposed to lift things like that. If it turns out that I am pregnant, could lifting boxes hurt the baby?

for example does it have a car seat and where is the best place to buy this pram. My mum likes it as she is a teacher and believe strollers which are front facing affect the child speech development, the good thing about bugaboos is they face the mummy or daddy or granny. Anyone know of another stroller or travel system which offers the same, price is not an issue I want a child with good speech developement as I will be using it loads.

i am not saying all teen mothers do what is best but some try to do what is right by going to school and working but it seems because they got preg. early they are judged so harsh people look down on them so hard cause they think their parents raise their kids or they are on gov funds.well they are some people without kids that watch on their check every month and stand in the food stamp line and they aren't looked down on like a teen mother
