Hiya, a general question I thought a lot of people would benefit from, is, is genetics a factor in how easy/hard you find it to conceive? Or in other words, those of you who've had a hard/easy time, did your sister/mother etc have the same experience? I've heard my mother had an easy time and yet I am finding it hard...

Seriously...I have read different answers to this question. One medical site I read said no, but the other seven medical responses I read said emphatically yes, depending on several different factors. I am a woman who has a short cycle, and I'm really irregular (meaning, I am usually a 21 {or sometimes less!} day-er, and I usually can say my period will start AROUND X date, but never sure). My periods usually last 4 days on average. I know that sperm can survive up to six days. I also have the unusual ability to know when I'm ovulating due to a sharp pain in my pelvic area (I have confirmed this w/ my GYN - he says some women can tell, others can't). I want to get pregnant. I can also say that typically, I am a heavy bleeder on the first day, but not this time around. My flow is about half of what it normally is. I also usually have some cramping, which I did not have with this period. I am expecting it to last about 3-4 days. Your thoughts? Thanks.

My wife and I are having a real problem!! You see we recently had our first child 5 months ago. Since day one I have thought it good to have Her sleep in her our crib *IN our room* that we had bought! However my wife has let her sleep in the bed with her and I have slept in the guest room !! NOW I do think in her 5 th month she is ready for her crib * still in our room * and my dear wife is holding ground and won't even try a nap time of 2 hours * she thinks it is COLD to abandoned Her in her crib and not have her lie next to her !! Meanwhile I am still in the guest room !! So how long should the parents wait until they begin to let her sleep in her own crib??? I have heard if you wait to long it could cause real problems and she will want to sleep in our bed still at age four...? Who is right Here?????

BEFORE YOU VIOLATE ME ... I want you to know this is a SERIOUS QUESTION!!!

See I am in the USMC and I am currently in Iraq. My wife and I don't have any children and now that I am here I am really thinking of having them. I have been here for less than a month and I have talked to her about possibly sending my sperm to her. Before I left I thought there would be time and now I am kind of worried there won't be any ... She has agreed but I have some questions that I really don't want to ask anybody in person!

1. Is it legal to send human sperm through the mail?
2. How long does sperm last outside of the body and when not in another person? Also at what tempertarure should it be kept at to preserve it for 24 hours?
3. I was thinking of using a prescription bottle to place the sperm in and then put it in a cooler with dry ice (yes, I actually know where to get dry ice here). Then place it in a box and mail it next day (24hour); will this work? If not do you know of a better way

He also cannot pay attention to anything, I have gotten his hearing screened, and it is fine, and it is evident that he is smart because he knows his ABC's from front to back, and can write them, he also know 1-20 in numbers and can write them, shapes, matching, etc, etc. But he will not talk in sentences, he says one word things, "juice", "dinner", "Poddy", etc. He also does not learn his lesson EVER.. He plays with our computer CONSTANTLY, and we yell, time out, so on and so forth, but as soon as we let him go, he goes straight back to the computer. I am getting really frustrated, he has an appointment with a group called Child Find coming up that screens for learning disabilities and ADD and things like that, but I really don't think he has any of that due to him knowing so much already.. can anyone help, has anyone gone through this?? I am desperate

Hi. I was due for my period on 31 October 2006. It has now been nearly 2 weeks since and I have had nothing. My last 2 periods were on time but this one is absent. I have been getting small pains but nothing at all, and my boobs have been hurting a bit. I did a pregnancy test on 9 November 2006 but it said negative.
What could be happening? Could I have tested too early? Or at the wrong time of day? Or does it seem like my period is just for some reason, running heaps late? Please help.

She is only 10 months old - but she keeps getting close to the TV - I've tried everything to keep her back from it & she just gets closer -LOL - I even moved my Coffee Table up to the TV and she has learned to climb up on the coffee table & sit close to the TV !!! She actually shouldn't be able to do that but she can - LOL
I've heard that sitting to close & harm your eyes - but then I've heard that -that is not true - My Eye Dr. even said its just a wives tale - So what do you think ?
Most of the time I leave the TV off - but when its on she is right there next to it - any suggestions -
No sarcasim or insults please
If you dont have anything nice to say - dont say it

I'm breastfeeding my second son right now. My first quit breastfeeding at 6 months on his own. For some crazy reason I thought this one would do the same. (yeah .. I don't know what I was thinking.) He is 9 months old now and no where NEAR being weaned. He WILL NOT take a bottle sippy cup or anything. I have not had more than 3 hrs to myself in the past 9 months and I would really love a break.. just one day or something. anyone have any suggestions OTHER than just letting him cry until he takes the bottle? I cannot let him just cry when I know he is hungry??

I was born in 1987 and lived in Indonesia for the first 17+ yrs of my life. I am now 19 & have been in usa for 1 yr.

In my grade level in Indonesia, out of 120 students, 3 were left-handed and I remember the PE teacher saying 3 left-handers out of 120 is more than average. I knew one of the left-handers quite well and she told me her mum used to hit her left hand with a ruler but she never became right-handed. Out of about a hundred ppl I knew from my school in Indonesia, she was the only left-hander.

I came to usa last year and have made quite a lot of friends since then. I notice about 15% of my friends are left-handed, most of them being caucasian girls. Out of about 10 of those I asked whether their parents tried to switch them, only 1 said yes. I was really shocked that american parents let their kids be left-handed. I have always thought left-handed is a bad habit like thumb-sucking that parents have to try to refrain their kids from doing.

I guess I am backward?

Let's say that someone is pregnant and is thinking about an abortion. And then one day at work, she is using the copy machine and there is a paper jam, and then the word "ABORT" kept flashing on the machine. And this never happened before while using the copy machine.
Would you take this as a sign or no?

My partner and i have been trying for a baby since jan this year but we have had two miscarriages one in may and one in august. The second one hit us hard because it was due on my partners birthady, we also didnt know about the first one untill it was to late.
I am seven weeks pregnant but i am so scarred, my symptoms are up and down, for a few days at a time i dont feel pregnant, then for a day or two i am very ill, throwing up and in pain with a very severe headache, my breasts are sore one minute then ok at next. I have pain every now and then but i think that is because things are moving and sorting themseleves out inside, i have had no bleeding. Is this normal i know everyone is different with these things but anyone there that has gone through this also? g.p and hospital wont scan me untill nine weeks, as i have not had a bleed but also because of nhs money. Can anyone give me advice?

My neighbor refuses to control or discipline his children (4 girls). They eat whatever they want and do what they want. My three girls see this and think I am too tough and want to be able to live like that, and they don't seem to notice what well mannered young ladies they are becoming. How do I convince them that this will pay off later in life?

My wife has a tipped uterus. After I ejaculate inside her, my sperm just leaks out of her. The pillow thing has not helped.
does this have anything to do with the tipped uterus?
What can we do to help it stay in?
Any position to help me not hit her uterus during intercourse?
