ok..this is wierd. I had a LH surge on 14DPO (Positive) . Lighter LH on OPK on 15,16,17.18 DPO. On 19 DPO, I saw another surge. 20DPO LH is lighter than 19 but darker than 18 DPO. I know something wierd is going on. Have a doc visit tomorrow. These are the questions I have for you.

1. To see if I ovulated or not, what are the tests that I can ask the Dr. to consider taking?
2. Is the ultrasound of the ovaries done vaginally or can it also be done trans abdominal?
3. What other blood tests can I ask her to take. She already took a Total & Free testosterone, H1A, Insulin, Prolactin everything came out normal. My DHEAS and ACTH were slightly more than normal, but tests for my adrenal glands came out fine.

Any assistance is great.

Thanks

I am 15 and have a 10 year old niece and 21 month old nephew. I babysit them every weekend, from 4 til late on Friday and 9am-9pm on Saturday. Obviously my nephew needs more attention because he is so young. I take him for walks, read books, play with his toys, play in the backyard, etc, etc. My niece often goes to friends houses while I am there. She is allowed about an hour of TV a day. Sometime, when none of her friends are around, she stays home, but never wants to do anything with her brother and me. She has been kind of moody lately and complains that I never let her do anything fun if I tell her no to something that she is never allowed to do. She is basically a good kid and is smart and very creative.

I need some good activities, experiments, games, crafts Anything that is safe for her and her little brother. I need as many suggestions as possible. Anyone know how to make a paper mache volcano or anything like that? Thanks!! I know this is a long question! Thank you!

My loved one would like to do it but we know little of the process. How long does it take? What is the cost? We'd like to do this as soon as possible as she is 49 and I'm afraid she'll begin menopause any day. Your help and your experience is so appreciated.

I will be carrying the embryo as I am younger. If this doesn't pan out we will of course utilize my eggs but I love her so and would prefer to use her eggs if they are viable. I feel it will also be a way of making it feel more natural for her; since I am carrying and nursing she will at least have the knowledge that she is the biological mother. I want our child to have her personality, her beauty, her heart. To carry a little someone inside me with half of her DNA would be the greatest blessing in the world.

Yes, we will use a sperm donor.

Any precautions, stories, and advice is welcome. Thank you!

I feel like I literally just hit a brick wall and can NOT keep my eyes open. It was nearly 3.5 hours ago that I drank the stuff, and now I am experiencing one hell of a crash. I don't remember this happening the first time with my daughter. But that was also 5 years ago. Is this normal? At least for some people or some pregnancies? Ugh. THIS SUCKS!

I have a 28 day cycle. I have been temping about 3 months now, and I notice that although I get a positive opk on cycle day 16, (also on 17....) my temps don't rise until day 19. Does this mean that my lutela phase is only 9 days, or do I count from the day I got a + opk????
I don't know whether or not I should see a doctor for this. Some people have advised me to. Any experience with this??

The old wives tale goes: If the baby's heartrate is above 140 its a girl, and below its a boy. Has this been true for anyone? My baby's was 158bpm. :) So, maybe its a girl! 2 more weeks till i find out. :)

My OH and I have been TTC for 8 months. My last period was on 28th July. On 20th Aug my ovulation predictor test was positive, we 'did the do' for the follwoing 4 days. My cycle is normally between 30 and 35 days long. I used a First Response HPT around an hour ago but it was negative. What I am after knowing is weather there is a chance that I could still be pregnant?

I had a tubal in 2004 after my 2nd son was born but the Lord had better plans for my son and he passed away 2 months later w/ SIDS. My 1st son will be 5 in October and I want more kids. Should I look into getting a tubal reversal? What's the cost? Will insurance help? Is tubal reversal right for me?

I'm from Michigan and I got a letter today that I have to serve in jury duty. I called though to tell them that I am a stay at home mother breastfeeding and so they dismissed me until June 2008. But we plan on getting pregnant after the new year so I might possibly be 5 months pregnant along at the time I will have to serve Jury Duty. Do they allow pregnant woman to serve? Will I have to call again if I'm pregnant or just go in and they'll see that I'm pregnant and dismiss me? What are the chances of having to do this when I'm young and starting a family!! I actually got the first papers to fill out for jury duty while I was pregnant with my first baby.

Is it me being cray or what? My daughter was on oxygen for three months, she is now almost 5 mnths and she had a HORRIBLE time with it, the stickers on her checks and tubes in her nose I can only imagine what it was like the fist time the hospital put the tubes on her. So anywho now she hates it when I touch her face and especialy if I wipe her nose. I just use diaper wipes when I wipe her face, so its not hurting her shes just being a drama queen literaly, screaming, and she always acts so surprised about it, or even use my fingers to touch her especialy under her nose so I was wondering in your opinion could it be bad memories from when she had oxygen? Or are are alot babies like that with their face?
