Pregnancy & Parenting - 7 February 2007

I stopped talking my birth control pills 5-7 days before my period. I have been taking birth control for 4 months now and my periods never really become regular. I am usually a day or two late but this last period came two days early and lasted 3 or four days (normal). I have been having sex the week prior to my period (the week i stopped taking my birth control pill) and had sex while on my period and acouple times right after it. Could I get pregnant if I dont continue my next cycle of pills?

Hair style, clothes, and makeup.

I'm african/italian so I'm light brown and my hair is black with dark brown (natural) lowlights. Naturally, it's in really tight curls. I usually flat iron it. Oh, and it's layered and shoulder length. I also have bangs, I'm growing them out, though (they're already past my eyes)
I'm tall (5'8").
I have black rimmed glasses which I AM NOT GETTING RID OF. PERIOD. NOT CONTACT LENSES.

I have no idea what I want to do with my look so ideas and suggestions would be nice.


Looking at serious answers only.

I'm flying from seattle to omaha, ne. we only have one connection in salt lake city, and the layover is only 35 minutes so we got lucky there! But both planes are about a 2 hr trip. I know it probably won't be all that bad since it's not a super long trip, but do you have any advice or suggestions on foods or toys or anything to bring for her to keep her entertained? My mother will be with us, so I'm sure having her there will help a lot. Also, should I even bother with the umbrella stroller? Or should I just take my soft carrier and put her in there when we are in the airport? It would make it a lot easier to carry my bags, also! Thanks for any advice! :)

I try not to feed him everytime he wakes up, but once I've settled him again he will only settle for a maximum of 1 hour. He grows a centile in weight every month (having started 2 under average). The health visitor isn't worried about overfeeding, and has monitored how I feed etc. but having so much disturbance in sleep for so long is really getting me down. I'd much rather not resort to bottle if avoidable. Any advice?!

My husband and I are trying to conceive, we try many times throughout the month. I started taking my BBT each morning, i've had a steady temp. of 98.1 and this moning it went up to 98.6, and i also had a nose bleed this morning, could this be pregnancy or no? I have irregular periods so i dont want to test yet because i want to be pregnant so bad and i dont want to see a negative, i was going to wait till at least the end of the month.::SIGH:: If anyone could give me a serious answer, id appreciate it!

I have been using tcoyf carting software with OPK. I had a positive with OPK on 02/01/07. With my BBT and cervical mucus tcoyf has predicted my ovulation day as 02/04/07. If I change the setting to OPK before fertility signs my ovulation day is predicted to be 02/02/07. Which date would be more accurate?

I have been told that I have endometriosis and have known this since I was 21, I am now 28. I have never had an endoscopy, this was just based on my symptoms. When I found out, my ex-husband and I tried for a year and a half with no luck. A few years after our relationship ended, I was engaged again and he and I tried a year with no luck as well. Both of these men have gotten other women pregnant before and after my relationships with them. I have recently seen a doctor and he says that this concerns him. That if I decide I want to try anytime in the future, he would skip making me wait a year of trying and immediately try fertility drugs, and then surgery if needed. Also suggesting that I not try after 35, because of health risks for the baby and mother. All of this information if very intimidating and depressing, because I feel compressed into a time frame. I am completely open to adopting, but having a child, of course, has always been a dream and my maternal clock is pounding.

I started contracting at about 6 pm, and although they were painless I was getting them regularlyevery 2-3 minutes. I didn't get really concerned until at 11:30 pm they hadn't slowed down at all with rest,walking or water. Called my doctor and she told me to ge checked out..so I went to the hospital and they confirmed my contractions were every 2-3 mins, I was put on an IV and given a urinalysis..the IV didn't work so I wasn't dehydrated, and the Urinalysis came back fine...they let me go at 10:30 am this morning because I hadn't dialated and they contractions slowed down, but they had no information to give me. They didn't know why it happened. I am worried I am at risk for preterm labor, I go to see my doctor again tomorrow..Just wondering if anyone on here has ever gone through or heard of anything like this! So confused! No rude comments, please=)

Also, my baby is transverse ( sideways).. I dont know if this could have anything to do with it or not.

OK, so I have had an IUD for about 2 1/2 years...I am not sure if there is something going on with it or what, but I need some help (never had problems before now).

The last two weeks, everytime me and my husband are intimate, something goes wrong...either very very heavy bright red bleeding or severe (localized, almost like pressure) pain in my lower abdomen/uterus area.

I would think it would have to have something to do with my IUD but I don't know what, I have checked it's placement and it is still there, but what could this mean?

my very stupid question is this...if you start you period in the middle of the day does that day count as day 1? or does the first full day of menese count as day 1? i am not a teenage girl on here, i am a 26 year old trying to get pregnant with my first child and am trying to figure out accurate dates i may next ovulate. i started my period in the middle of the day yesterday and have a 30-35 day cycle which is normal. thanks

Normally, I am fairly strict and she is not allowed to actually date until she is 16. She's allowed to go on group outings if there is a parent present, but that is it. The thing is, I am 100% sure I have breast cancer that has spread to the bone. I have a doctor's appointment on the 20th to find out for sure. But I'm a nurse and as much as I tried to ignore all the signs, I'm sure that's what they will tell me.

So, I'm now wondering if maybe I should let her go - just to the prom and home, no parties afterward. The boy who asked her isn't someone she would ever date and she has told him that if she can go, she wouldn't ditch him or anything, but for him not to think it's anything more than friends. It's a really small school, so they will be well-supervised at the prom. Under any other circumstances, I wouldn't let her go. But what if this is the only prom I'll get to be around for? That really scares me.

So it is my first pregnancy and other than on here, the only person I have told is my husband (although he already new). So, I am asking for all the advicer I can get from you guys (and you are all fabulous). Do any of you get tired of hearing about it? I thought I knew so much about pregnancy and babies and now that it is happening to me I just worry and pray everyday that my little guy (or girl) will make it through this next nine months and be healthy.

Thanks to those pros who help us newbies on our way.

He just wants me to hold him all the time, when i set him down he will cry and cry but he is totally fine, i hate to just let him cry but its to the point where i cant even eat because i am always holding him. but alot of times i let him cry for 10 minutes then go get him but then that shows him that crying really does work and i dont want that, so i try to wait till he stops but he dont.
