id been with my ex for nearly 4yrs.it always been a rollercoaster ride and hes pretty much lied to me from the start.ive always been attracted to lier,cheats etc and realise its because my father was the same.im 41 and its high time i grew up and moved on.i feel so foolish now because i knew this last guy lied to me and was on drugs last year.i helped him through it all and let him stay.things seemed ok for a year but now hes stitched me up again.he moved into lodgings 4mnths ago.his life is totally dysfunctional and he relied on his ex for loads.i was very unhappy anyway.basically he texted me last wk and said hed drop some money off and was moving out of town.his phones switched off and hes left his lodgings 1mnth ago?he lied and said he was working,they havent heard from him all week?ive been had over big time.im in shock at how callous hes been but i knew he was a wrongun.i can feel myself slipping into depression and am trying to fight.he didnt even give the respect to talk to me?

I tell ya, I'm about baby sexed out. I have been TTC for 18 months, this is my first month on clomid, and I'm tired of having sex for what seems like a lost cause. I feel like all me and my husband do is have sex to get pregnant. It' getting to the point where I'm just like, hurry up, get in and get out. Ok, so I don't SAY that to him, but that's what I'm thinking. Does anybody else feel this way? And does anybody have these stupid clomid cramps right now? I am about tired of them as well. Give me some encouragement girls. What gives?

This has been a chrnonic problem for the last week, I have constand erections in all 4 of my school classes, and they last between 15-30 minutes. I can't get up from my chair, I cant walk anywhere because it is extremely noticeable. I am a freshman in highschool.

I had many erections before, but it was usually never at school, was either in my room on the internet, or just daydreaming.

I really need advice to stop this problem for school.

Want to try and have a baby with a friend, but no sex involved. This has been in discussion for 3 years and now is the time to do it. I just want to know if anybody else has tried this at home without the need for clinics and doctors. If all else fails, thats the route we will take!

like people who are into drugs and other stuff
is it a bad thing to hide masterbating from your parents?

My best friend I grew up with up called me today and told me she is pregnant. I am really surprised and at the same time concern for her. She's Asian-American, 21, and has a job. Her boyfriend is 22, also Asian-American, and has a job, but together combine, they don't make enough to have a place of their own. They are both still living with their family, but their family has enough on their plate, so having a baby wouldn't make anything easier for her. She also told me she knows she still want to travel, enjoy life in her twenties and not rush things. The boyfriend says he kind of want to have the baby, but he has never really think things out thoroughly. I am curious what everyone else think? If you are okay with abortion, when and how should a woman like my friend go about doing it? What are some suggestions? Should she make an appointment with Planned-Parenthood? She doesn't want her family to know yet, should she let them know? Any advice would be much appreciated.

He is a very big boy, can sit, roll and crawl of sorts but....his legs are all floppy and wont put any weight on them. when you hold him up he just sits on them. There is nothing wrong with him, as confirmed by GP so what can i do to get him standing and walking?

thank you

a lot of breastfeeding mothers are telling me that its easier to sleep with the baby in our bed that way i dont have to wake up all the way when she's hungry and i can sleep while she's nursing. how many of you did this? me and my husband talked about it and are both terrified that we'll squash her. i've heard stories of mothers falling asleep with their babies rolling over on them and smothering them. whats your opinion on this?

Is this the new trend? I am so tired of seeing kids (ages 2, 3 and even 4) trotting around with a bottle and a pacifier a.k.a. "binky" in their mouth. What is up with that? At what age should a child be weaned from these things? I was in Albertson's and this little girl, obviously 3 or so, was screaming "I want my binky!". Her mother was explaining that she was going to buy her another one and that she could use it as soon as they left the store. What??? This child had a mouth full of teeth for her age and she could talk and walk as good as any grown woman.

This is definitely NOT the first time that I've seen this. Why are so many parents giving in to their kids addiction to the bottle and pacifier at that age? It's like some people actually get mad if you say something about it. They know it's abnormal, but they don't want you to bring it to their attention. I have a relative that allows her 3 year old to suck a bottle full of juice every night.

Weird.

Am so happy i finally got a positive on my urine test and am actually 4 days late.
I just cant believe it after trying for quite some time.
Clomid and prayer did a miracle for me and of course all those who helped answer my questions.i was on clomid 50,100 and finally 150mg.

These were some of my symptoms:
1.I had no sign of ovulation apart from alot of watery cm, not egg white so i believe any one without egg whites can still ovulate.
2.alot of creamy cm immediately after ovulation days.
3.took a test at 10 days past ovulation and was negative.
4.14 days past ovulation was the day AF was to start so i took a test and it was a big positive.am now having slight AF like cramps .

I wish you all the best in this journey.

She gave birth to our daughter 16 months ago and has retained the baby weight. I still love her and think she is beautiful, but I just want her to get back to the weight she was before the baby.

I know it's tough physically having a baby, and we both work a lot, but I have offered to go with her and she won't. I work for the city and we can use the gym for free, She admits to wanting to lose the weight too, but always finds an exscuse not too. What to do?

I've got 5 weeks to go and want to make the transition of bringing the baby home as comfortable as possible for my 3 year old, he is aware of the pregnancy, always listens to my belly and feels when the baby kicks. We include him alot with the pregnancy just dont want him feeling left out when we bring bubz home.

I am watching Jenny McCarthy on Larry King Live and I am just wondering, as a poll if you will, if you choose to vaccinate or not? My daughter is four months old and has received all of her vaccinations to date, but I want to hear your stand on this, or any story you may have to share regarding infant vaccinations and autism, or any other side effects you may have enountered. Thanks!
