Pregnancy & Parenting - 2 September 2007

I haven't had a period since June 23rd! But I took a home pregnancy test a week ago and it was negative. Is it possible to still be pregnant? I'm a smoker, so I recently stopped smoking (2 wks ago) just in case. But, if I'm not pregnant, what else could it be? I'm not stressed, and I'm otherwise perfectly healthy...??

people said that one of the ovulation symptom is abs cramp. I have that symptom in the middle of my menstruation cycle. I usually also feel tenderness on my right leg from butt to bottom leg. It usually occur a week before my frist day of period, but sometimes it also happen a few days after my period done. You can say that this tenderness on my right leg and butt happens more than once in one cycle. is it normal?
I did ultrausound pelvic and it was came back negative (no cyst)

I'm trying to get pregnant for almost 2 years. My husband and I went to see doctor and we both are fine. I did ovulation test twice on the first year trying and the result was positive on day 17 (at that time my menstruation cyrcle was 31 days, in the last 3 months it becomes 27 days). I did ultrasound pelvic and HSG, and the result was normal. Even the test shows positive I am still not sure I have eggs, it because when I was teenager I did masturbation for than once almost everyday. Is it true that masturbation too much will affect my ovary to produce or release eggs?

Having my second child I had to have a c-section and afterwards my bloodpressure went out of control and my body had a hard time getting better. I had to stay in the hospital over a week after I had him. I am told that every child birth is different should I try for one more still?

1's turning 5 in oct. Due w/ 3rd Nov & our 2nd's in Dec w/ xmas. We need ideas to make this more simple so we wont go broke but still have our sons enjoy themself & not combine any partys. Also since Im due I cant be running around cooking millions of foods so were hoping to pull off the simple traditional cake, ice cream, balloons, munchies & borrowing a moonwalk for them. I do have 50 people coming, maybe more! There are 80 invited but out of respect even if we know they may not come. (but who knows) I CANT only invite the ones w/ kids, most of them dont have any & will be pissed. We can't afford to go out & buy everything that we usally do. We go nutz every yr because the fam's dont get along. We used to do 2 partys each bday because of them. But were having our 3rd! I think we will only be able to handle having three after seeing how horrible it is for our boys to enjoy there bdays and even xmas! Were split between familys driving everywhere all the time to be yelled at ANY IDEAS?

My 12 month old is waking up several times a night crying hard. It's not like she wakes up, looks around, and then starts crying, she comes out of a dead sleep crying. All it takes is for me to whisper to her or hug her and she goes right back to sleep like nothing happened. What could be causing this and is there any fix for it or is it just a phase? I refuse to let her cry herself back to sleep, she is obviously upset about something. I have heard of night terrors, is that what this is?

My kids dad and I have ben divorced for almost 6 years.We both are remarried,and still talk to each other about the kids.We also have joint custody,one week with him,one week with me.I have noticed as the kids get older,(they are 9 and 10)that whatever I say no to,he will let them do when they are with him.I have talked to him and asked that we both follow the same rules,same bedtimes,ect.But he does his own thing,he told me during our last conversation that since he is their father he should have the final say on what goes on.I am almost ready to go file for sole custody,but the kids seem to be better with this agreement.My son,(the 9 year old)is bipolar,and there are rules that have to be followed.Should I talk to Dad again,or just go find an attorney?

My 11(12 in about a week) suggested that we purchase white tee shirts and markers to make tee shirts for our high school football team games. I told her no, that I didn't have time to deal with the mess right now. The next day my husband took the kids to the Dollar Store, she purchased tee shirts and food coloring. When she came home she took these items into her room and proceeded to decorate the tee shirts with food coloring (all of this was without permission). Our 5-year old just found the mess that came of that experiment. The 11 year old got food coloring on the sofa in the bedroom, the carpet, and several pieces of brand new school clothes (unfortunately those school clothes belonged to the 5 year old).

How would you handle this? I am really angery because she ruined so many items, disobeyed me and manipulated my husband. My husband does think it is a big deal because the carpet is somewhat old and the couch, while not very old, isn't very atractive.

I caught a few boys stealing from the store where I work a few weeks ago. They stole an energy drink, candy, and a few toys. We had to let them go due to lack of evidence and we found all the evidence after we let them go. I found out later that day that one of the boys lives across the street from me. Since this happened whenever he sees me in the window reading a book or doing my nails he freaks out and goes back inside. lately his mom is becoming suspicious of him not playing and it's only a matter of time beforeshe makes he connection that he's afraid of me. More than likely she will want to ask me what's going on. What should I say to her? I know I have to be careful or she can sue me and the store.

we have 3 children in foster care already (we can't have our own) and we want to adopt them. we have a 3 bedroom house (my husband and I in one room, Nic and Tony in a room, and Krista in the third). we've wanted 5 kids since we were married, but with our small house, we're going to have to settle for a smaller family. the 3 kids we have now (ages 11, 10, and 7) get along great together and even though Tony doesn't look like the rest of us, you would never know otherwise. Krista (our oldest) has told me that she would be willing to share her room with a younger sister (the kids talk about having a little sister like she's already here), but even though we have the room, money, time, and love for another child, would it be foolish to contact the agency to tell them this even though we haven't officially adopted the older 3 yet? thanks for any advice concerning this.

I am planning to stat exercising though I might have conceived 5 days ago. If I plan to exercise, it would include cardio, for 1 hr and then weight for 30min. I dont think is right to do that in case I have conceived now isnt it? It might cause the probable pregnancy to fade away right?
Please advise

I am 33 weeks pregnant and last night my boyfriend and I had sex - I wasn't feeling any pain during it but when we looked down there was blood everywhere on the sheets. I immediatly got up and used the rest room and called my practioncer. She said to put in a sanitary napkin and wait an hour if there is still heavy bleeding then come to labor and delivery to be checked out. Well fortunately there was no heavy bleeding-but I'm still spotting and wondering what happened? All help would be apperciated thank you.

I'm 12 dpo and just really anxious to know if I'm pregnant or not. I've already urinated (sorry, too much info) 3 hours ago and just had cereal. Is it okay to test right now or you think urine will be diluted with milk?

(Sorry if stupid question - - just very impatient)

Thanks in advance!

i am 6 months pregnant and i would never do any drug or smoke anything while i know there is a life growing in me... but my friend who was a big partier up until last week when she found out she was pregnant, she was drinking and smoking... up until last week when she found out she was 7 weeks pregnant she quite everything except smoking weed, and she knows that i think its wrong for her to do so, but she says that she's going to quit just not right now...i don't think she will quit at all, and i have heard a lot of people say that it is okay to smoke weed while your pregnant but i would never be able to imagine taking that chance with an innocent life...what do you think, is it safe? Have you known anyone that has done this? have you heard any bad stories about this?good ones? i just want to know?

If I would have conceived, then that should have happened on Aug 29. Today is Sept 2 and I have been feeling soooooo tired and I feel a mild pain in my boobs only if I touch them deeply. But seriously, I have been feeling so tired! What are the symptomps of implantation?
