I know everyone has lots of advice to give women trying to conceive. My husband and I tried for several months until a friend suggested the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler. We conceived within a month of reading it. Since then I have lent it to three other women. They all conceived within a month and have since bought it for their friends. My husband and I are preganant a second time now. Much to my husband's chagrin, it only took one try! Read the book! Then, pay it forward!

My OBGYN and another doctor both say I have severe Diastais and a herniated bellybutton. my abdominal aorta is wide open and can be easily felt with the docs hands. they tell me its dangerous and could be fatal if i accidentally get kicked or hit in the tummy or in a car wreck. it has to be fixed. how do you explain to your insurance company this is not a cosmetic proceedure and only an plastic surgeon can reconstruct the damage. i am not looking for a tummytuck at all. I just want the necessary basics done to fix my ab wall and cover and protect my aorta. i feel this is a necessary proceedure but do not have means to pay for all of it. how can i get my insurance company to understand this is necessary even after they receive a predetermination letter saying that it is necessary. Is there another kind of doctor that can fix my tummy other than a plastic surgeon? if so please let me know. my e mail address is misspookett@yahoo.com thanks hope to hear a reply asap

Affecting one in 100,000 people, Hurler's syndrome is a rare genetic disorder where the enzyme (alpha-L-iduronidase), which normally breaks down the mucopolysaccharides dermatan and heparin sulphate, is missing. These mucopolysaccharides build up in all tissues in the body causing progressive deterioration and eventual death. The disease was first described in 1919 in Germany by Dr. Gertrud Hurler.

Hurler's syndrome babies often develop normally during the first year, but as the storage material (mucopolysaccharides) start to build up, the symptoms begin to appear. Early symptoms include frequent colds and ear infections. Hurler's children will, without therapy, experience profound mental retardation, coarse facial features and excessive hair growth, vision problems (due to clouded cornea), and severe heart problems (as the coronary arteries narrow and the heart valves thicken). Other symptoms may include carpal tunnel syndrome, curvature of the spine, frequent runny nose, hernias, and hearing loss. Most patients die of heart failure between the ages of 5 and 10.

Because Hurler's syndrome is genetic, it is difficult to cure. Current approaches to Hurler's syndrome include genetic counseling for parents who are carriers of the disease, and improvements in early detection of the disease in unborn children (Hurler's can be detected with amniocentesis early in the second trimester). For Hurler's syndrome patients, a variety of treatments have been tried. The goal of treatment is to get the missing enzyme into the body. While the enzyme is now FDA-approved and available, studies have shown this doesn’t move into the brain well enough to prevent the neurologic aspects of the disease.

To introduce alpha-L-iduronidase into the body, both gene therapy and blood, marrow or cord blood transplants are being explored. In gene therapy, researchers use a virus to place the gene that produces alpha-L-iduronindase into the patient’s cells. Transplants are performed to provide cells producing enzyme through the growth of normal, healthy blood cells. These blood cells appear to provide enzyme to other cells of the brain, preserving neurologic function. However, the enzyme does not appear to penetrate into the brain. Following successful transplant, patients do not suffer cardiac deterioration, and the accumulated mucopolysaccharides in the liver, lungs, and marrow slowly disappear. Vision and hearing generally improve post transplant, as well. Though the mental retardation does not progress, the patient’s IQ will typically stabilize. Thus the most successful transplants are those that are performed as soon as possible after diagnosis. Transplants performed after age 2 have disappointment results, because a BMT cannot repair the considerable amount of damage already done.

Because older patients and those with prior lung problems do particularly poorly with transplant, the use of enzyme therapy prior to transplantation may be advantageous. The University of Minnesota has pioneered a study to test the use of enzyme prior to transplant, which is currently enrolling patients.

So my girlfriend took the plan b pill about a week ago after unprotected sex. yes I know its stupid. I am 25 so lay off me. I am big on condoms it was a spur of the moment thing. Anyways about 5 days later she got her so called "period" which was a brown and heavier flow she said. So we both decided that it was a side effect of plan b. Today she said that she still had it but it went to its normal color. So we both think that could be her period. Does anyone have any experience on this. Its only been a week so its still to early to get a pregnancy test. But it has also been a week and her breasts are tender and she is tired which are still to side effects of plan b. Again any experience? But we both highly doubt she is pregnant but we are still going to take tests just to be sure. So any help or expericence would help. thanks.

I am 20 y-o and normally have reg cycle.My friend told me that since I haven't had my period for about 3 months and my pregnancy urine test from planned parenthood are all neg that there is still a chance that i could be pregnant. That my body could be changing/ reproducing and that I should get a blood test and I dont know for sure. But I remember getting a gyn exam and they checked to see if I was through the exam but no blood test, but is it still possible???

I have no insurance at the moment which makes it very imposibble for me to find out what is going on with my body.

My husband is overseas at work and it doesn't look like he'll be hom in time for the baby to be born. Is it possible to have the baby and come home and take care of my newborn (just after labour) and my 6 year old by myself? We just moved here this summer and so I don't know alot of people yet.. but I am sure my daughter can have a sleep over for a few days at a school friends. I really don't want my family as they cause me stress and I don't know how I'd cope with stress at this time.. I'd rather do it alone... could I do that?

The government apparently wants us all to give our newborn Vitamin K and Hep B injections, but you shouldn't give your child Hep B injection when it's sick or has allergies, but how do we know they're allergic at birth! Vitamin K is not found in human body or breast milk so are the repercussions of not getting this injection really common?

The night I miscarried I had a dream of Jesus sitting in a rocking chair rocking a sleeping baby in a pink sleeper. It was a real comfort to me to think of my baby in the arms of Jesus and perfectly content. But I was wondering if anyone else experienced something like that?

I guess its not weird, but...anyway. I'm 6'3'' and I am attracted to short women (5'0''-5'2'' kinda range). The thing is, I don't want my sons to be short. I know, it sounds superficial, and maybe it is- but I don't want my son to come out 5'8'' or 5'9'' like the estimators say he will. Is it likely that instead of falling in the middle, he'll either take after me and be tall, or take after her and be short? I know height is a trait influenced by multiple genes, but more or less? Or are they going to most likely be short because of their small mother? Thanks.
