Is it true that when a women gets a the birth control shot,
they are not able to have kids?

I was due for the shot in January of 2005 and I never got it.
We've been trying for a baby since and I havent been able to get pregnant.
I know that I have to ovulate to get pregnant. I have had periods. Im so confused!
Is there anybody here with this expierance?

my daughter has been going out with this boy for a month, and it seems they really love eachother. she has had past relationshipd, but none have been as serious as this one. i really like th eboy she is dating. he treats her well and treats her father and i with respect. when i have asked her about having sex she responded with a no. i told her to come and talk to me before she decided to do anything. but i feel that she has. i have noticed that she hasnt gotten her period yet, and she usually gets it around this time. i don't want my child to have a child. i try to talk to her, but she says that she hasnt done anything with him. i will not be mad at her, i just want her to be able to trust me and be abe to come tome and be honest. what should i do?

It seems that in some cultures, it is normal to have a Brady Bunch family. In more modern times, especially in America, it seems that many couples are opting to have 2-4 children. What do you think is a good # of children for a couple to have, based on economics, time needed for quality attention, etc etc

I don't really get it..... I know that a "homer" is when you... you know. but 1st. base, 2nd. base, 3rd base. what does it all mean????

Does age make a difference?? What is it for teens, or like in high school??

My 13 month old son is beginning to take steps. He has a couple pairs of shoes because the older members of my family insist that he have them on all of the time. The thing is, I hear conflicting advice. Some people say that children just learning to walk should learn to walk without shoes on. Others say they should wear shoes. As a parent, I get a lot of advice from people and some of it I just hear as it passes out the other ear, but with this advice, I'm not sure which path to take. Shoes or no shoes?

My 3 yr old is very clingy. Not in a typical manner she seems to want contact in odd ways. She wants me to constantly touch her, either by holding her hand or touching her feet. She's been like this since she was born, but it wanes at times. Just recently she's needs the constant contact. She doesn't even really hold my hand, but will take my fingers and push them into her palm or her feet. It is getting very tiring I can't do anything without her intrusion.
Any idea why she does this and how to resolve it?

I couldnt find something till the Bratz came out with one that had my name. Why do people really care for something with their name on it? And I am just asking. I care for the bratz because its make me believe I am not the only one with my name, and it looks just like me!

Preferrably in the state of illinois, does a father have to pay child support if his name is not on the child's birth certificate/ and there is no proof he is the father? and do he have to take a DNA test?

My time is anytime now and I was told that my stomach should "drop" before I go into labor., how will I know when that happens? Will I notice that my stomach is lower or something like that?

I got a double pack of a PT and the one said after 10 minutes that I was not. But then like 2 hours later it had a faint line. I call the place and the registered nurse said that after 10 minutes of the test it is inaccurate.
When I did have sex with my boyfriend(of 4 years) he did use a condom and he pulled out of me right before he was about to ***. So I doubt I really am because of that 2. And I am only a day late. and I am never exactly right on it. Plus he had a hernia as a baby and that lessened the chance of him having kids. and I have small ovarian cysts.
So do you think I am pregnant. yes or no?

These are my girlfriend's children, I have no children. Would it further damage the self-esteem of the 11 y.o. if we bought the 9 y.o. a reasonable MP3 player and no IPOD or MP3 player for the 11 or is there a valuable lesson(s) to be learned here- ask reasonable and get it, don't follow the crowd. Please read details before answering. My girlfriend and her ex-husband have not been good about telling their kids "no" in the past. The children and their father live where most of their peers come from quite wealthy families. My girlfriend, et. al. are far from wealthy but the father insists on living there, scraping by, for the "great" schools (nevermind the values the kids apparently learn in junior high). I grew up lacking extravagence (and so did most of my neighborhood) and I am better for it but there was no arguing with your parents about it. I care for my girlfriends kids and it is time to save the 11 y.o. from thinking that possesions are everything. But how?

Hi all!

Slightly odd question but I'll ask anyway.

I've heard a woman can produce colostrum as early as 5 months; however, how long is it before that turns to breastmilk (generally)?

Thanks for any help!!

right, im a dad of 4 (13,10 and twins 5 all boys), all my boys where bought teddybears. my twins still sleep with theirs, with my older two at the age of about 9/10 they stoped sleeping with them and they started sitting at the end of the bed.

with my eldest i was exspecting it to be shoved under his bed or into cuboard any moument now, as soon as he discovered girls! and not to be seen again till he moved out.

however my wife was checking up on the kids before we went to bed, and she called me in with the camera, i found him cuddleing his teddybear.

now i have mixed feelings, my wife says she has caught him do this before, but i never have which means its not happening every night. my wife thinks its harmless and if it makes him happy let him.

i have mixed feelings, my dad side says let him, its harmless,
but my man side says 13 year old boys do not sleep with teadybears, i know 13 year old girls do, anyway im not sure. what do other parents think? is it to old?
