Pregnancy & Parenting - 16 February 2007

I want to get pregnant REALLY fast because I have been trying to conceive for SO long and one of my co-workers told me about a natural fertility aid called Ovulex. She said that someone on yahoo answers told her about Ovulex (and how it really works) a few months ago and guess what, now she's pregnant. I am happy for her but I also want to get pregnant too. We used to be TTC sisters (lol) but now I am on my own! Should I order some too or was it a coinsidence...did you get pregnant using Ovulex?

I'm 23 weeks, first pregnancy & need help understanding fetal movement. I first started feeling kicks at 19 weeks & have been feeling it pretty much everyday since then. The movements have become increasingly stronger & have gotten to the point where I can also feel them externally. They're pretty regular, I usually feel them in the morning when I wake up, occasionally during the afternoons, and again in the evening after dinner.

The last time I felt the regular movements was Wednesday morning. Everything was "normal" then I barely felt any movement the remainder of the day. Thursday no morning movements, a few in the afternoon, none at night. So far today (Friday) just a few little kicks. They seem to have decreased in overall frequency and are also not as strong. Could it be that the baby has been in a strange position the last few days? Should I call my doctor or is this sort of thing normal?

My worry over the baby tends to be high and this sort of thing really scares me.

my 8 month old still doesn't sleep through the night. she has been getting up twice to eat. i tried letting her self soothe, but that didn't work, she justs cries non stop. I've tried feeding her alittle extra at bedtime, so maybe she'll sleep longer, but she's still up every 2.5 to 3 hours to eat. i've put her in the bed with me, to see if i can coax her back to sleep without eting, but she's just starving. I'm going to die from sleep exhaustion. Any suggestions?

My due date is set to be 2/21/07, by ultrasound and my lmp,which was 5/18/06. I know I had irregular cycles..about 32 or 33 days. Is it common that an ultrasound date could be off by 4 or 5 days? Could I have a later due date? I had ultrasounds done at 11 weeks..i believe it said a due date of feb. 23, then again at 26 weeks, with a date of feb. 21, then the last at 30 weeks and 3 days, with another date of feb. 21. I would also like to know a conception date, because I believe it was somewhere around my birthday, June 6th.

She is a straight A third grader. Well behaved! A true blessing.
The only problem is she is so hyper and wiggly. I find my self asking is she has to "potty" or I will crack jokes like "maybe thats why your so skinny" I do not know if this is an issue or all eight year olds cant sit still?

We took 4 kids aged 5 ,4, 3, and 6 months into respite foster care last weekend. There is a good possiblity that they will come available for adoption at some point in the future and my husband and I are considering trying to get them. None of them are in school yet. The two oldest especially have very ethnic names. The three year old has a sort-of common name with a different spelling and the baby has a cute sounding name. Many people I know with ethnic/off the wall (different is good. I'm talking about what other children could percieve as weird) are low achievers and/or in trouble with the law. I also substitute teach, so I see children at their worst, and they can be cruel. I don't want to totally take away their herritage by changing their names; I want to add an American name so they have options: with school and with resumes in the future. Why is this wrong? Isn't it my duty as a parent to act in the best interest of the chid(ren)?

Thanks to all who responded to my last question. I did get my period on 2/14/07 just 28 days after my d&c. My period only lasted 2 days with no clots and very light bleeding.( sorry for TMI) I am only wondering if I will ovulate now on day 14 since I got my period 28 days after my d&c or will I go back to my 24 day cycle and ovulate on day 9. My husband and I are dying to conceive and are trying. It only took us 5 months from our honeymoon to conceive our 1st to only later miscarry at 8 1/2 weeks.
If you went through something similiar please respond.
Thanks!
PS: I have already stocked up on ovulation predicator kits.

My boyfriend's son is 3 and a half and he has a really amazing photographic memory and a lot of energy but some problems focusing... we are worried he might have the beginnings of ADD... I thought martial arts would be a great way to increase his focus and teach him some discipline... is he too young to start?

I have just been charting my BBT for one month now. This cycle I was on Femara and I was given a shot of Hcg to make me ovulate on Monday, but I have not had the dip in temp. that I have read about having when you ovulate, my temps this cycle have been97.78, 97.69, 97.39, 97.75, 97.25, 98.02, 97.66, 97.13, 97.38, 97.17, 97.42, 97.09, 97.34, 97.46, 97.54, 97.51, 97.96, 97.81, 98.03, 97.90 (the hcg shot was given on the day I had the 97.81 temp) am wondering if maybe the shot makes your BBT not drop before ovulation? any help would be great.

My husband started his own company last year and we were lucky enough to qualify for Medicaid this year. I was hoping to get pregnant and deliver this year. What happens if I get pregnant and my due date is next year and my husband makes too much by then? Do you think I will continue to be covered until I deliver or will they cut me off? Times are hard now but I'm getting older so I don't want to wait.

Also realize that the maximum is 20,000/yr to qualify for adults/family of 3.

My cycle is 30 days long and only lasts 3 days...I've been like that since I was 11 now 22...Also I do have PCOS and I am on metformn..
But I had sex twice during our ovulation time this month....which is day 10 for me, not day 14....So, my period was jan 30..then we had sex on jan 8 so forth...a few days ago I had his horrible taste in my mouth like metallic...then for two days I had small amounts of blood come out when I would wipe...I've never had that before and it was weird...Last night in the middle of the night I was sooooo nauseated to...Iwoke up and tried to throw up it was so bad i couldn't sleep....but then today it went away...Also, I have had a ALOT ALOT ALOT of mucas lately...more than normal...its clear sometimes a little little whitish

So my questions are...has anyone ever experianced anything like this before?? Am I way off ??? Also, since i ovulate on day 10 and not 14 do i still have to wait til my period before I can test, even know my cycle are 30 days apart..
