Pregnancy & Parenting - 26 October 2006

I usually have a very consistent period always exactly 22 days. my last period was the 7 of sept and then the 29 of september my next period was due on October 21, it hasnt come yet. I took 2 home pregnancy test that test up to 5 days before missed period and both times the test came out positive. I went to a place which is not really a clinic its like a pregnancy counceling place, well I went there b/c the testing is free and I took a test it came negative and so they retested and it was negative again. Im not sure if maybe the test at the counceling center was not sensitve enough or if the home tests were incorrect. me and my husband are desperately trying to get pregnant. I called a doctors office and theysaid i should wait a week after my period was expected to take the test and and to take it in the morning. So did I test to soon or what do you think..? I also have menstrual like cramping from time to time and i feel like my period is coming, my breast r not tender anymore also.

I'll be 22 next week and my to-be husband would like me to start trying to get pregnant sometime next year. If I get pregnant this summer, I wouldn't give birth until I was 23. I think sometimes that I will be too young; however, I have a steady job & income. I'll be finished with school in May, or at least degreed. My husband is 26, will be 27 by the time I give birth. We are financially stable & have a living situation to accomodate a child.

Any thoughts on the situation would be welcomed.

I'm 18 and I've been with my girlfriend for like a year and she's told me multiple times that she wants to have my baby. Sometimes I think to myself that it's moving a little to fast but other times I think to myself "OK I think I should do this." I'm just confused about what to do. should I have this baby or is it to soon?

At my ultrasound when I was 7 weeks 2 days I was told I had a bicornuate uterus... which means my uterus never fully developed. It's like heart shaped rather than the upside down triange shape... I was also told it was really rather common... they don't know an exact percentage because most women go through pregnancies and find out way later...

There is a risk of early birth, but more of a risk of breech presentation, meaning I would need a c-section.

I guess what I am wondering is does anyone else have this or hear any stories personally? I've read a bunch of online stories, and it seems most need c-sections but deliver at normal time. Thanks for any input.

*In case anyone is wondering I am 15 weeks 3 days now.

I had a missed miscarriage. Doctor talked me into D&C. She punctured my uterine wall during the procedure so she couldn't finish.This doctor said the hole was very tiny and should heal on it's own but I'm still pregnant. And I have to wait two to three weeks to either miscarry naturally or take medicine to expel the abnormal fetus. I am so upset. Has this happened to anyone? Did you have a baby after? Should I sue? She was in a hurry (was hour late for appointment and had to pick up her kids). She admitted to puncturing it because she said that my cervix was so tightly closed. I'm still confused. Getting a second opinion tomorrow with another doctor, but I just want to know what happened with other women in the same predicament. Please help!

My son has gotten his girlfriend pregnant.
I am not able to speak with him because I am so outraged that he would go behind my back and do something with a girl that hes not married to.
Shes thinking of getting an abortion because i am so mad.
I told her that it is her and my sons fault and that they should make the discison.
Also, my son now wants to get married to this girl and they are 17 and he would need our parental consent.
What should i do?

My husband and I are trying to concieve. I've been keeping up with my periods for several months now. I've never been more than 2 days late. I am a week late this time, but a neg. pregnancy test. Ok, like 4 negative tests, days apart. Although I have seen similar question relating to this, I posted it anyway because, unlike most askers, I KNOW when I ovulated. I bought an ovulation 20 day test kit. It said I ovulated 3 days before I was supposed to start. Hmmm. Interesting. I can guarantee you I didn't miscalculate when I was supposed to start. I always put a great big red dot on my calendar the first day of every period, and there is no mistaking it.
Is this late ovulation meaning a very late period? (If 14 days before, I would start 2 wks later than usual!) And another question, will an ovulation test tell you that you are ovulating if you are pregnant, or does the hormone it detects go away after implantation? Anyway, I have a Drs appt in 4 days. Hopefully I will get some answers!

My period was a day late and at first I thought it was going to be a normal period, so I used a tampon and then about 5 hours later I tried to take it out and it was hard to take out because it was only about halfway used! I spotted for the rest of the day and today (the second day of my "period") there is practically NOTHING, just one or two teeny tiny spots on the pantiliner. I took a HPT the day before all this started and it said negative. What's going on??

He never seems excited about the group activities they are doing. He is an only child, so I don't know if he doesn't feel comfortable around other children. At home, he won't sing with me or be silly like that. Its like he's an old man. Also, he doesn't like to play with his toys really. He would rather unplug things or play in the sink. Could something be wrong with him?

Of course, he won't eat any meat, fruits, or vegetables. He freaks out whenever new food is intoduced to him. He won't even let me sit at the table with him and eat my dinner if I'm having something he doesn't like. I have tried incentive charts, giving him no dinner if he chooses not to eat what I give him. What can I do to make eat more foods? It sucks to go to a restaurant and have to pack a meal for him to bring. Has anyone had experience with this problem? Thanks!

I'm 19 years old, and about a month ago I asked my mom if I could get put on birth control. She freaked out, and started telling my how my morals have changed, and on and on.
She then sent me countless e-mails about how it's better to wait until you're married to have sex; sending me things about STD's and other things that I learned about in sex ed.
I haven't done anything yet, and my boyfriend is not pressuring me to do anything that I'm not ready for. I'm ready to have sex, and I was mature enough to go talk to her before I did anything.
I would feel horrible going behind her back to get it, because I've always been very close to her, and she always told me that if I ever thought about having sex, that I should go talk to her about it, and she help me be safe. I talked to her about it, and now I'm not allowed to go visit him where he goes to college, we're not allowed to be alone, and if I go out with him, I get a phone call at 10:30...asking me when I'm going to be home. Help!
