This is in regard to Provera, which is a pill that helps to either jumpstart the menstrual cycle or regulate it. Please don't confuse this with Depo-Provera. I am NOT talking about the birth control shot. I would like to know if anyone has taken Provera and how many days did you bleed? I am now on day 5 and still bleeding very heavy. Sorry for this TMI - going through a pad every 2-3 hours. I am also taking Clomid on days 5-9 to help with fertility. Today is day 5 and hubby and I are supposed to start having sex on day 10. I'm worried I may still be bleeding then. Anyone have any experience with this drug?

Serious answers only please!

I.E ,2-3 months paid leave, Flex time, Being able to leave early to take Johnny to soccer or just not come in because Suzy has a cold.These benifits take away from profits and so others pay and leave the rest of us to pick up the slack left behind. Having children is an expensive *time consuming hobby* I don't think should be "Others" responsibilities.Your thoughts?

I am wondering how many other females out there had Horrible morning sickness with their first daughter then had no morning sickness with their second daughter?

I hear a lot about m/s with girls and no m/s with boys. But I am looking specifically for those that had bad m/s with their first daughter and then had no morning sickness with their next daughter. This is to say there are no other children inbetween these two pregnancies.

On two occasions my son has done this. The other day i said to my mother how stupid my husband was (as you do ) and my 9 year old said yeah you would think he would have brains up here and pointed to his brain but he doesnt. His brains are down here and i dont need to tell you where he pointed. Then the second time he was drawing cars and showed his picture to me then casually asked "mum have you ever touched a B.M.W before and i said 'yes ive been in one' well he went into histerics and replied do you even know what a bmw is? Then of course he told me that it is a big mans willy! At both times i told him that this was incorrect behaivour around women and around teachers. But i am afraid if i stop him from feeling free to talk to me about anything that maybe one day he wont come to me with his problems. Does anyone have any insight on how i can controll this behaivour without it causing damage to the long term relationship with my son?

It would be greatly appreciated

We draw names for Christmas, and this year I picked my nine year old cousin. She lives far away, and I only see her once a year, so I'm not really sure what to get her...

Any ideas?

Can you use a breast pump only (not actually breast feed) with nipple piercings or do you have to take them out?

Would you consider diapering for a long road trip? If so, how would you explain it to the kids (They aren't teens yet). It helps save on time, and all the extra stops that would have to be made?

I remember we did this back in the 80's when our family went on long road trips.

I'm asking because we're going to be driving through really rural parts of New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona and some parts don't have a rest stop for over an hour and a half.

Is diapering a good idea? They wet sometimes, though it's maybe once every few monthes, if that. Also if they have to make poo, it could help?

At my annual exam I spoke with my doctor about trying to conceive. She said that after I stop taking my birth control pills my husband and I should wait 3 months before trying to conceive so that my periods would become more regular. Lately I have been reading a lot of articles that say it doesn't matter if you wait 3 months from taking your last pill, or 1 day. Does anyone know what risks are involved with getting pregnant right after stopping bcp? My cousin got pregnant that way and she had a good pregnancy and delivered a healthy baby girl.

I love my niece and nephew but they are some very bad kids. They come over my house and swing from the furniture. They break all the windows and dishes in the house every time they visit. Sometimes my nephew even urinates on our dining room table just to see the "waterfalls", I love them but I do not know what to do about their behavior. I try spanking them but everytime I do this they just wind up beating me up to a bloody pulp with their homemade whips and chains. Is ther anyting that I can do to stop their behavior??

Does anyone know if the chewable prenatal vitamins (given to me by my dr. office) are better to take with food or on an empty stomach? His assistant gave them to me and I didn't even think to ask them and the labeling says to just take 1 a day.
