Here it is me and my boyfriend have been having unprotected sex for 4 almost 5 months now and I still havent got pregnant. Is it because I am not ovulating, if so how do i check if i am ovulating or not?

I've been working with her for over 3 months to get pottytrained. She'd come to me & tell me she had to go & even went all by herself several times. Now she doesnt do anything but sit there & go in her panties. In fact she even took them off yesterday & went in the floor! Why is she backtracking, it's getting so frustrating.

I had my son in January and the Depo injection in March. I decided to go on pill in may. had a pill period at end of May. After that I decided to give my body a chance to straighten out before taking more oral contraceptives but havent had a period since. I do occasionally have an egg-white style discharge which my GP says is ovulation but Im not sure. Im defo not pregnant (according to a home test and my GP urine test) but have had a constant period pain type ache and moodiness for last 2 months. any thoughts???

I am also a mother (of 4) and will be teaching kindergarten for my 7th year starting in late August. I was wondering if there was anything you as a parent would like to see from your kindergarten teacher- anything ranging from schedules to games to snacks, whatever else. Thanks for your input!

Did you have a lot of pain during and after? Did you have any problems with odors afterwards? I have to wait 4 weeks for my results so any support would be great.

My son will be 3 months on Friday and I am wondering if I should switch to the size 3. He seems to be taking the 2 pretty slow and maybe I should upgrade. He is a big baby well over 13 lbs.
When did you upgrade?

I take 2 home pregnancy test in the morning for this past 2 days.
It show all positive.
My last period is July 18th, and the cycle is about 30-32 days.
On August 6, my doctor did a blood work to check my hormonal (I did experience some irregular period) but everything is normal, eventhough the HCG level.
I called my doctor this morning, she said, maybe it was too early HCG to show 2 weeks ago.
If I calculate correctly, I was ovulate around August 4th, do you think its still to early?
How many days usually the HCG starting to show/can be detect on blood?
Thank you!

Is it cool or naff? It also inevitably gets abbreviated to Baz or Bazza - is that better or worse?

Hi, I am 32 weeks pregnant with my 4th child and i'm having severe pain in my pelvic area. It is so bad that I scream and cry when I try to roll over at night, it also hurts when i'm up trying to walk around but not as bad. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what the doctors can do? thanks angel

just a question for everyone - do the women that breastfeed tend to make you feel like you're not as good of a mommy if you cant?
i had issue with breastfeeding right from the start- a bad case of thrush, my son throwing up ALL the time and not gaining weight. turns out he was allergic to my breastmilk. so after only 4 wks of nursing i had to call it quits. i cried over this loss - i felt unable to provide for him. some of the answers from womem who are breastfeeding are so hurtful.
i understand that breast is usually best, but you dont have to make others feel bad about bottle feeding whether it be by circumstance or by choice.
i literally mourned the fact i couldnt breastfeed and wish i really could have but others who had the opportunity should never judge those who cannot. it makes me even more upset that i cannot.

He is a great kid but doesn't seem to connect with those around him. He meets kids at the park or at activities (he is not shy) but leaves it there. I'll ask him the name of the child he was playing with but he never bothers to ask. I've put him in a hundred programs (sports, science, et cetera) but the little guy is always by himself. It hurts so much to see.

Hello. I am 19, hubby-2-be is 21. Hopefully getting married sometime in the next year. My whole life I never knew what I wanted to do when I "grew-up" besides be a wife and a mother. I have always had the "mother-hen" lifestyle, probley from being the oldest of five siblings, from ages 3-12. My heart breaks when I see babies and now that we are stable in our careers and we we could afford a child, I am wondering what the advantages of having children young are? I want to be able to enjoy my grandchildren, unlike my father who is 46 and has a 3year old. I am scared, of course. But, I want to know what you think. And is there anything I can say to my hubby2b to make him see that having children young is a smart choice? He wants a child, sometimes I think more than anything, but, he too is scared. I am not interested in the disadvantages or negative feedback. We know we are young, get over it! Positive feedback only please! Thanks! Have a great day

Right now I am using Powdered, both my other kids used it also. My 3rd child has more problems with gas and fussiness. Could the bubbles from where I shake the bottle with the powder be causing the gas? Would it help at all to switch to the ready to feed formula? Which did you or would you use? Thanks!

Can they view it on their mobile phones? How can you ensure that their playmates parents have controls on their computers etc - is it socially acceptable to ask.

So I am TTC and am having a real problem with boys names. My parents are lebanese and my husband is english and I really want the name to have some part of me in it as the surname is SO english. My husband doesn't like most arabic boys names and he has already vetoed Zain as he thinks it sounds like 'insane'. Does anyone have any names that sound good both in english and arabic?

I am 27 weeks pregnant and I've been feeling really faint lately, especially when I've been standing up for a while. But today, I am sitting at my desk and I just feel really funny. I can't even explain it, but I feel kind of hot and lightheaded and a little nauseated (in waves). I know my bp is good. I'm worried about my blood sugar, though, because I'm at high risk for gestational diabetes. I don't know whether to call my doctor or wait for my appt. next wee, or if I should maybe go to the health dept. and see if they'll stick me and do a quick blood sugar test. Tell me what to do.
