My cycle is usually anywhere from 30 - 35 days. I am now on day 38 going on day 39. Just curious, if you were in my position would you bother to take a pregnancy test already?

According to the LMP (10/07/2006) she is 12 weeks along (I think that is right). When will she start showing? She is 5'9" tall and weighs 125lbs. We are not telling her parents until she starts showing, so I am attempting to create a time frame so we can prepare. Thanks for the help

I have documented white cuff syndrom. just knowing that I have to get my BP checked, especially hours before hand, causes it to shoot out of this world... God, just the sound of the velcro, or the word "high blood pressure" is more than enough.

Anyway, my midwife had the tech check my BP on friday, and it was 130/80, up from 127-70 (my usual preggo BP). The tech made the mistake of saying to me "Wow, your blood pressure it high today" And by the time the midwife got in it flew up to 150/90.

Then she went ape crap on me and ordered blood work, urine samples, 24 hour urine for a complete protein check, and made me lie down so they could check it again, scheduled an ultrasound and put me on bed rest for the weekend.

My blood work came back with all my good points above average, and all my toxic levels and bad points well below. My blood count was awesome, even my iron is perfect (I dont even take any iron....stops me up..)

Running out of letters... lemme post and add things...

I am going to be having surgery soon to take care of a cyst on my right ovary that won't go away. My OB believes that they will likely find that I have endometriosis while they are in there because of the nature of my cyst and the fact that I also have infertility and all the symptoms. This surgery is not going to clear out my fallopian tubes if they are blocked but it should get the endo out of my abdomen and free up my tubes if they are immobilized. Anyway I guess I want to know others stories of the type of surgery they had and if it improved their fertility. Thanks.

Have you noticed any correlation between early pregnancy symptoms and early positive HPT results? If your pregnancy symptoms did not start right away or were not severe did you have a negative test result at first? I have a regular cycle and I am 10 days late. My breasts just started getting sore 3 days ago. I definately feel more tired. I took a home pregnancy test today and it was negative. I have been having a cramp in my calf all day, which is not something I get. I had been having very light menstrual cramps off and on, but they stopped a couple days ago. The last time I was pregnant was 13 years ago. I don't remember having much for pregnancy symptoms. ( I found out I was pregnant with my son from a blood test I had to have for other reasons, so I never took a HPT. )

I had my daughter 4 weeks ago and I am still bleeding. Not heavy but I still have to wear a pad.
I also have a small odor. Could this be because of my stiches. I dont have any itching or any problems.
Should I move my six week appointment up to make sure everything is okay?
ALSO my husband and I want to have sex but I'm worried about the pain and problems.

My boyfriend and I had sex about a week ago. We used a Trojan condom with spermicide, he pulled out, and the condom didnt break. My period is 5 days late and I took a pregnancy test and it said I wasnt pregnant but I'm still worried. Am I overreacting??

I am 36 weeks and have gestational diabetes, more amniotic fluid than normal, and my baby is estimated at 10 pounds. I have also been in and out of labor four times in two weeks. Contractions are still coming every 7 or 8 minutes. Were 1 1/2 apart for 5 hours at one point, but the hospital (and my doctor) sent me home because I was not dilating. My doctor had me on two medications to stop the labor but took me off of them today. This makes me happy because the meds made me jittery, light headed, and gave me headaches. I am uncomfortable and trying to hang on till the baby's lungs are strong enough. I am worried because of all of the complications but am at the point where is it safer to be in the womb or out?

What's up with Heartless Hater (The second Heartless Vampire)now? Usually I don't ask questions about people on here, cuz I know how everyone hates it, but seriously, come on now. Who does that? Unless it's the same person which is really stupid, why would you want to copy someone else's attitude?

At my daughters school, the students have to wear uniforms. (while or purple collared shirt and biege pants) While I believe in a dress code, I do not think that students should have to wear uniforms. I believe that it suppresses a childs creativity and freedom of choice. Young teens should be able to choose what they wear as long as its appropriate (hence dress codes) They are growing individuals and I find this a little degrading towards the Children.

I just want to know your views.

does anyone else feel uncomfortable breastfeeding in public? I have not had to do so yet, but it's only a matter of time since I am making a 9 hour trip with just me and my 4 year old and 6 week old. And planning a family vacation in march. Is it illegal to breastfeed in certain places? Do you worry that you will offend people? Where are good places to breastfeed and bad places? I do cover up with a blanket.

I am pregnant for the first time--at 38. I am single, so there is no father around. I have waited and wanted a child for so long, so I am obviously excited at the prospect of having a child. I am currently 14 weeks pregnant. :)

The one thing I am having difficulty with is I am terrified of having a boy. While I know on a logical level that I will love my child regardless of whether or not I have a girl or a boy, I am having dreams that my son will grow up and never be around or that he will marry a woman who hates me and keeps him from me and we won't have a relationship in his adulthood. I keep thinking that if I have a girl, I will have a close relationship with my daughter, but if it is a boy, I won't. Why am I thinking this way? Is this a normal pregnancy thing?

I have a 18 month old nephew whom I adore and get along well with--so why would I think otherwise of my own child? I would love to hear if others have had this same experience and how you dealt with it.
