Pregnancy & Parenting - 19 September 2007

about getting pregnant and she went into the fact that I had a very irregular period and was the first doctor to tell me that I could possibly have something called pollycystic ovary syndrome. She didn't diagnose me but she did say it was a possibility and in that case would be a little more difficult for me to become pregnant. I'm only 22 and we weren't expecting a pregnancy with out first child but now that we actually are trying all these things are coming up that are starting to worry me. The doctor did say that loosing as little as 10 lbs could make a world of difference in trying to become pregnant if i did indeed have polycystic ovary syndrome but I'm still a little depressed because of the thought of it being a possibility I might have a hard time getting pregnant ever again. Has anyone ever dealt with this? Any good advice. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks to all in advance.

how many women have been lucky enough to get pregnant with PCOS using clomid ?
I have been told I don't need metformin because i am not inslulin resistant but I was wondering what the chances of clomid working for someone with pcos are?

My son started @ 2 w/ reg. potty "just like the guys do it"-We didn't push him @ all- He just really wanted to & was in regular underwear by 2 1/2 yrs.old. even to bed staying dry all night- He told us all the time if he had to go for 3 mths. straight. Then we came back from vacation where he'd slept in a pack & play and he did have a few accidents then and a few during the day because he didn't want to stop playing and go-Now the accidents haven't really stopped-We've tried the sticker chart, not making a big deal out of accidents, rewards, etc. He gets mad if I suggest or ask if he needs to go- "NO! I don't have to go!" We even put him in his toddler bed last week so he could hop out if he needed to go during naptime or nighttime. He started preschool yesterday & parents stayed the first day & I asked him if he wanted to go & try the new potty-"NO"-teacher tells me he'll see other kids & will want to go. What good advice can you tell me? Should I call his pediatrician yet?

It is possible for a janitor or a teacher to find it, but the contents were pretty valuable. Such as an iPod mini, lots of makeup (lip gloss, powder, ect.), tons of pencils, erasers, pencil grips, and so on. It wasn't a cheap purse either. I'm so sad. My parents aren't too upset, and they just say "let this be a lesson to you". But I loved everything in that purse!!!


Any tips for me on finding it???


I already told the office exactally what it looks like, and the contents, and the teachers are aware.


Please post any experiences YOU have had with missing items, and anything else that could be of help.


Plus, please post ideas on how to find it.


Thanks!!!

I'm concerned about my two year old son. He had tubes put in his ears back in March and still only says about 4 words. (when he wants to). He's really cranky when people get around him and doesn't like you trying to play along when he's busy with blocks or flipping through a book. He sees a speech therapist once a month and sees another lady (works for the same place) once a week. He's improved somewhat. The speech therapist hasn't asked me to check him for autism. I read that eliminating wheat and dairy with some children improves their delays in speech and other things. Is this true? Can anyone give me a link or information on wheat or dairy (gluten and cessein) free foods? I would like to change his diet to see if this helps any.

It's one of the scariest situations a parent could face. Imagine showing up at your child's school to find your kindergartener isn't there.
Jennifer Nguyen says she picks her kids up from Westlawn Elementary School every afternoon, but for some reason her youngest son's teacher decided to allow 5-year old Sebashten to walk home by himself.
"The teacher said Sebashten told her he wanted to walk home, and the teacher said no you're a car rider. He said but I want to walk home, so she let him walk home," said Nguyen.
The walk from the school to Nguyen's house is more than a mile, and to get there the kindergartener would have to cross the very busy Airport Boulevard.
"It's something of course we never want to happen," said Nancy Pierce, a spokesperson for the Mobile County Public School District. "Anything we can do to prevent that from happening we try to do," said Pierce.
Pierce says the school district has apologized the Sebashten's parents, and they are now reviewing their dismissal policy.
Apology aside, Nguyen says what she was told by the school district Thursday is disturbing.
"Dr. Carol said it was a common mistake and it happens in all schools around the United States," said Nguyen. "But, I don't believe it's a common mistake," she says.
After two hours of searching, Sebashten was found safe but scared. His mom says he was more than two miles from the school and no where close to home.

for giving an honest answer and opinion?what do you think of that?someone ask a question regarding a name for a baby?a made up ridicioulous name and are mad because i told them what a terrible selfish idea that was!!! honestly if you want to think your "unique" fake name is so great why bother to ask?everyone does not lie to spare your feelings,someone must speak the truth if you dont like it too bad!!have you ever been violated over something so stupid yet important???i should not be punished for stating the facts just because someone else does not wish to accept the truth!!!people give their dogs and cats more respectable names,for crying out loud!!!!
