my husband and I are trying to have a baby and I always have my period every month, but they are always about 5 days later than the last month. My last period was the 3rd of november to about the 9th. so this month I should of started about the 8th. around the 7th I started some light spotting and thought that my period had arrived, but on the 9th no period came and the spotting stopped completely. so I took a pregnancy test on the 12th cause this has never happened before, but the pg test was negative. so I don't know what to do. I haven't had any symptoms of my period. and the only pg symptoms ive had are nausea, and this. but when i eat my nausea goes away and comes back later. is that how it works? i'm not sure when symptoms should start if I am pg? could I still be pg even though the test was negative? should I go take a blood test? any help or detailed info would be great thanks

My son is 10 months old and over the last couple days has developed a "rash-like" marking on his calves.... but its not a rash, just kind of looks like one. Could he be allergic to something and only break out on his legs? What else could this be?? Its like a red peppering on his legs.......

Her teacher says maybe. A psychologist said "if she wants to". My friends have said it is a bad idea.

My daughter is brilliant, bored in school [with the school work, not the interesting stuff like field trips and drama]. She has been doing 2+ levels ahead in math for the last few years. She also has been reading novels like Harry Potter, and Lemoney Snicket since she was in grade 1. She has near perfect marks [can't play a recorder without squeaking ha ha ha]. She gets along well with older kids [mostly], but isn't a true geek - she is also wicked great at sports [hockey, soccer, baseball and competitive swimming] and has other outside interests.

Should she skip from grade 4 this year to grade 6 next year? Looking for ideas, personal experience and opinions please! Pros and cons.... Other ideas for her if you are against it!!

When I pick him up, I have to wait for her. When I drop him off, again I am waiting for her. She is consistently late for both. I have a problem making him wait in his car seat because his Mom can't be on time. I let him up front with me, and he plays with the radio, power windows, steering wheel, blinkers, ect. Then when her late butt finally arrives, he objects being placed back in a car seat. I was scolded because I should make him just sit there. Wouldn't it be easier if she would just show up on time? Or am I being irresponsible? My boy is 2 and 1/2 yrs.

I don't ever send any time around children, so I am not sure how to make him feel at ease. I am not sure if 5 year olds can talk, but if he can, what kinds of things should I say to him?

When I was little my Aunt used to creep me out and I don't want this little guy to feel that way around me.

Our son is almost 1 and he is cutting teeth.... the recommendation is Tylenol, but we are not sure if we should give him Tylenol every day.

Is it safe to use Tylenol every day?

I am the Pediatrician who had to admit a child with pneumonia. Now the child was in foster care ,but the mother still had legal custody. So in effect, the mother had to give consent for us to admit the child even though she was barred from visitng him in the hospital. Does that make any sense? Anybody involved in the foster care system/ Department of Social services care to respond?

Has anybody experienced a slight pain after urination and general soreness in the vaginal area during urination, while breastfeeding ? I was recently treated for a bladder infection and I wonder if the infection has remained. The doc. says its because of breastfeeding and the infection is gone. Anyone experience something similar?

you hear the stories, celebrities and regular people alike adopt kids from around the globe. they speak of how they want to make a difference in a poor child life. we have so many kids in our foster care system here in our country. why do people ignore the problem at home? just a thought that was on my mind...interested in what others think.

I just had my membranes scraped today at the doctors office and I've been reading a lot of info about it and how long it should take for labor to begin...but when it came to the cramping and having some contractions or bleeding afterwards I have not had any of these effects? I'm curious if maybe it was done right or if its normal to have gone through this and not feel much of its effects...During the procedure I became very tense due to the fact that it was very uncomfortable and by me flexing my muscles I am worried the doctor did not get deep enough due to my clinchin...is that possible too? I am 3 days overdue and I just want to make sure I really helped to get the process going by it gettin done right...

Well, I don't know if this is an issue worth worrying about, but please help me - any advice is appreciated.
On September 1st-2nd I ovulated. On the 8th - 12th, I was with this guy and we "fooled around". Although we never did engage in sex, I am still concerned. He fingered me, but never was inside me. Just on the outside. Also, he *might* have had dry precum on his fingers, I am not sure but even though he told me (afterwards) that he didn't, I am concerned.
Don't human eggs survive for only 24-48 hours? If this is the case, my egg (which I ovulated on the 1st to 2nd of sept.) should have been disintigrated, right?

Well, I had my period on the 15th of september, 16th of October ,after some delay, and 13th of November; all lasting around 5 days or so. My period for December was due on the 13th (my cycle fluctuates from 28-30 days) and december 13th marked the 28th day. I have yet to get a period, I am freaking out. I have PMS symptoms, but still no period.Could I still be pregnant?
