Pregnancy & Parenting - 14 January 2007

Sigh. I know this is a tough one to answer, but thought it is worth a shot. I am 27 and my husband is 31. We have only been trying for 3 months, but in that time I have not gotten my period. I have always been irregular, and a sonogram indicates the likelihood of PCOD, but is not conclusive. My mom was irregular and had no trouble conceiving 3 times. My sister is irregular (gets her period every 75 days) and has had 5 kids without help. My cousin is irregular (every 3-4 months, like me) and needed Clomid for each kid. Clearly, there is a family history. I am much more irregular than my sister and mom, which leads me to believe that there is no point in waiting, but of course, I am scared of twins. The doctor has said it is my choice, but that she thinks I will probably need it. I am anxious, and not getting my period is making me even more anxious. I feel that I would be able to wait, if only I got my period. Is it necessary to wait any longer considering that it has been 90 days?

My worst was for extra strong pickled onions and bought 5 huge jars in a week and none tasted good! I couldn't stand the smell of basil, coffee or alcohol. Through out one pregnancy all I could bring my self to eat was fruit and cheese and ham toasties. Each of my pregnancies were different one I couldn't stand curry another I couldn't get enough. I had nausea really bad for my pregnancies with my boys and understand that its caused by hormonal changes but don't understand the cravings - any ideas!

Increase in school violence, gangs etc. is not equal to lack of spanking in the home/schools. That is ludicrous! Have you people ever heard of circular causality? Do your research! There are multiple factors responsible for one problem. Stop blaming our social problems on lack of spanking to justify your reasons for spanking your kids!

There are other reasons for increase in school violence. Lack of parental presence, poverty, poor child/parent dynamic, violent media influences, violent peer influences, poor problem solving repetoire, poor communication skills, low grades in school, not fitting in, etc.etc. etc.

after you take the morning after pill could you still take a regular pregnancy test? because last week i had to take a morning after pill and the doctor said to go back to him in 2 weeks for a pregnancy test because it might not work. but if i went and bought a pregnancy test would it work? because want to know as soon as possible if i am pregnant. thanks

Our friend had a horrible expierence on Friday. She is VERY low income and we are trying to help her as much as possible. I have searched the internet and came up with nothing. Are there any charities or organizations that can help with this? Funeral costs or anything?
She is not on any government programs or insurance. (no Medi-Cal etc..)
We're in Southern California....Riveriside County.

This is a two part question.
I had a miscarriage last year right after I found out I was pregnant (at about 5 weeks). I had no pregnancy symptoms, that I noticed anyway. But the miscarriage was very painful. Worst cramps ever.
Now I am 8 weeks pregnant and have been having bleeding and cramping for over 24 hours. So I'm assuming this is another miscarriage. It doesn't hurt as bad as the last time however and I still have all of my pregnancy symptoms, ie; nausea, tension headaches, sore breasts, cravings, fatigue. The blood is mostly bright red/pink with dark clots.
My first questions is: Can I count on this as being a miscarriage? My second question is: Could there be something wrong with me anatomically that I am having miscarriage after miscarriage? And if so what could be wrong with me? I am in good health otherwise.

Thanks for any advice.

Im about 7wks pregnant, and a couple of days ago after returning home from shopping I went to the loo and noticed a little bit of blood. It was pinky/reddy in colour, not a lot though (no clots/tissue or dark red blood) but im concerned. its my 1st pregnancy and im excited. i called nhs direct helpline they said they not sure could be implantation bleeding but that will have already happened weeks ago surely? Theres nothing there now, it sorted turned to a kind of brown discharge then stopped, like when youre coming off your period. Is this normal? I dont want to lose my baby :-S

What amount of weight should you have already lost? What was the amount that you lost with your pregnancy about a week and a half later? Is there anything I can be doing now to lose the remainder of the stomach as far as any exercise. What else can I do to lose the extra pounds. Thanks!

Also If the dad wouldnt do the adoption can it still happen b/c your not married? or what? idk im just cerious and would love any good info on this. thank you!

Well its now Sunday and I still havent had a period. 3 and a half days late. There was a very light pink (just barely noticable it was so light) color, once when I wiped yesterday (was about the size of a dime) but I havent seen anymore blood or even pink color since then. There has been a few times that i have wiped and got clear thick slimy fluid with no smell....(sort of looked like really thick mucus) I dont know what is. Has anyone else had this before? The mucus sort of looked like snot. I have taken a First Responce Test 2 days ago and it said negative.
