Please only serious replies all others will not be used.

I called the clinic where I get my bc pills today because a week ago I missed a pill and I have been spotting and feeling a little different ever since. The nurse I spoke to at the clinic said that a blood test can detect a pregnancy after just two days of being pregnant. Now, everything I have read on the internet says otherwise. I went ahead and had the blood test and it was negative, but now I am wondering if it is accurate. I have 5 active pills left before my period is supposed to start...should I feel pretty safe about not being pregnant? Thanks

Hello I am i12 years old and gets frequent migraines/headaches triggered by sunlight,exercise, and heat.When I runs my face turns extremely red and I get out of breath after 30 seconds of running.I don't know if I have asthma or not. One night I had extreme pressure in her left temple and it felt like it "popped".I've had terrible pain but only for about a minute.My face has been a tinted red ever since the incident and my face is almost always hot.Is this just asthma...or is this normal?Should I get this checked out by a doctor?I have high blood pressure but nothing that is wrong with that.

I am 21wks (i know - only half way there) but i am tired of being pregnant. Alot of people i've spoken to always say "oh i love being pregnant it was/is such a lovely experience" blah blah blah. I, however, do not love being pregnant. I hated being sick for months on end, i hate being tired and lethargic all the time, not to mention the mood swings etc. The only thing i love about pregnancy is feeling baby moving around. I love this baby of mine, i want my baby to be happy and healthy and would die if anything went wrong, but i am tired of bring pregnant.... i just can't wait for 9months to be up!!

Am i the only one that feels this way? Does everyone else really love everything about being pregnant?

it's real easy. solve n. anyone who is above jr. high should know it. here it is:
n x (10 x 7) = (8 x 10) + (8 x 7)
i know the answer. and i'll give you a hint, it is not 5.

My son wont eat while I am gone. He has huge temper tamtrums and dosn't eat for 12 hours at a time. I am only away for two long days. My husband watches my 8 month old, and has a great bond. Its just when it's feeding time. He is afraid I'm going to leave him during the day now and only wants me. It is so bad that I feel like he is going to loose his bond with his father. What can I do?

my friend is concerned she is pregnant. she said she has been having cramps here and there and just got off her period. but a few days later there was blood everytime she would wipe after she pees. and she would pee frequently at school and everytime i go to her house. can you still bleed if you're pregnant? and what other signs are there other than nausea, fatigue? and how soon will you have these symptoms?

The condom broke again, and I'm not sure if I went all the way or anything, but if I did it was inside of her, but she just got off her period yesterday, and she's going to get the morning after pill tomarrow, any chase she'll get pregnant, because I'd hate that. I'm not worried b/c I highly doubt she'll get pregnant, b/c this is the best time to have sex with a girl if you don't want to get them pregnant, right after their period, I'm just wondering?

I have a friend who is in to drinking and I am not. She asked me to take her to her house to drop “something, I don’t remember what it is” off at her house. It ended up being 40 dollars worth of mikes hard, and an assortment of beer. She’s 16 by the way. Once I found out what it was I said no, because my car didn’t have a trunk, and that is illegal to drive with alcohol in the car, since I’m only 17.

Then I asked her why she lied and she said she didn’t, except she did. And I don’t get it. I wouldn’t be mad at her. I dont get angry at things like that and she knows it.

Why doesnt she trust me?

My baby is pretty active, sometimes more at times than others which worries me but i think that is normal. What is concerning me now is that her kicks are mostly high and now all the sudden it feels like she is really low. I am only feeling her kick or punch or whatever it is she is doing along my pelvic bone. It feels like she is kicking me directly on my bladder too which really hurts. But i am wondering if it's normal for her to be kicking so low??? Sorry for rambling but i just am concerned theres a problem.

I asked this question earlier.... what can I do to make my contractions speed up and come closer together?

I want to add: isn't it possible to have back labor and hardly any stomach contractions?

I've tried walking, sex doesnt' exactly work unless you know of a case that its worked with the woman being solo (I'm a single Mom). I've been in the early stages of labor since Sunday night, and my water hasn't broken yet.

So what else can I try?
and
These sharp back pains and muscle contractions can actually be labor pains also right?

Okay what is wrong with all these parents who don't spank their children?they say they talking to them,taking away the telephone or computer or video games.And OMG some parents even give their kids "time out".What happened to spankings?Nothing works better than that.Can't they see that nothing else works as good if it works at all.And when your kids get to old for spankings (14-18) slap 'em.Cuz at teen age taking away a couple luxurious privileges ain't doin nothing either.White people these days.uhhhh.tell me what is up with parents who resent in spanking thier children?
