I am TTC #1 and not sure when to test because...
-I had irregular periods (started at age 14, got on BC Pill for 8years...im now 22 about to turn 23)
-I have been off the pill now for 2 1 month, which made my period I week later then it usually was but I am not sure when it should come since I think it is still regualating itself....so when should I test....if everything was normal it was supposed to come today

I got my period on September 12th. On Sept 20, I had sex. used a condom but we were iffy if i was safe so i took the morning after pill plan B on Sunday Sept. 23rd. (within the three day limit) i was on birth control pills but took my last one on friday, and skipped sat and sundays pill so i could take the morning after pill. My period came a week early. I started spotting on Oct 2nd, and by the 3rd of 4th it was heavier. My boyfriend and I had sex again, protected by a condom, on the 7th of Oct. My periods usually come Wednesday. and i was expecting mine on Wednesday Oct. 31 so i took a pregnancy test- first response, right when i got out of bed, it said i was not pregnant. But now it is thursday. Am i pregnant or did i just mess up my system from taking plan B? i heard the urine pregnancy tests sometimes dont work for women? what should i do? please help.

I just missed my period this last week but I have gone through about 20 pregnancy test and they all read neg. We have been trying and about 2 weeks ago I breast got really tender and have almost doubled in their regular size, turned colors and the areola has gotten wider.. I have been nauseated, VERY sensitive to smells and I am always exhausted and have been having menstrual like cramps the last two days but no bleeding. I am not sure what to think. If I am pregnant this would be my first so I have no idea what its supposed to feel like. We want to be pregnant and my body is saying yes it is (I think?) but the test say no you are not. I am doing a blood test in two days. But is it normal for the test to constantly be negative when I am having all of these other signs? I have even used the first response (tells you 5 days before your missed “.”) and it also says no. Has anyone else had this or something like this happen to them?

You hear aging women say their eggs are too old to produce healthy offspring. Are women's eggs with them at birth or are they created monthly as part of the monthly cycle?

Ive had a LOT of problems with pregnancy's.
This is my 5th pregnancy total.
3 miscarriages (10, 12, and 16 weeks)
1 abortion 10 weeks (medical reasons)
Now 38 weeks along with my little boy (the doctor said I couldn't have kids any more but here I am!)
Me and my husband are over the moon about finally having a baby.

Now however the doctor is talking to me about sterilization. I'm such a high risk for complications, she thinks it would be best to prevent any further pregnancy's.
I 100% agreed with this UNTIL I talked to my husband about it. He thinks I should go with a IUD (the chemical one that lasts 5 years) I asked him why and he said "You never know how we are going to feel in a few years."
The problem is I have had a lot of problems with chemical based birth control's. (the pill, patch, nova ring, shot, ect) And a history of cancer in the family makes the non chemical IUD dangerous also...

I think he wants more kids later, and I would love that! I just don't think its possible...

What are reasons why you would have to have a C-Section?
I am 37 1/2 weeks pregnant and the baby is head down and in position so everything there is fine. With my 1st baby I was induced and had her naturally. As of now I won't be getting induced unless of course I go over my due date by 10 days. But anyways, I was just wandering what some reasons would be that women have to have last minute C-sections?

Wondering what other mom's do. Those of you who breastfeed past the age of one, do you give cow milk as well or just water? My little one will be turning 1 here in a week, still breastfeeding and will continue to breastfeed until he decides he is done. He has a sippy that he drinks water out of, should the combination of nursing and sippies of water be enough liquids for him? Do you introduce cow milk? My family keeps saying that he needs cow milk after a year, but I just don't quite get how he should "need" it when he will be still nursing.

My 8 month old nephew has it all! His grandparents buy him nearly everything he could ever want. For example, he has 3 different kinds of exosaucers and the jungle jump up. He has EVERYTHING! And more clothes than you can imagine! I love the little guy and he is visiting in a couple weeks. What can I get for the 8 month old that has everything?

My nephew gets up at 8:00 a.m.and by 9:30 by sister-in-law makes him go back down for a nap. She usually fights with him to get him to go back down. Finally he will fall asleep after awhile and sleep for 1 to 2 hours. Then he gets up and a few hours later maybe around 4:00 in the afternoon she makes him go back to bed and usually he is not tired and she fights with him again. Usually after awhile, he goes to sleep because she spanks him if he does not want to sleep. This happens all the time. Finally he will give in and go to sleep and sleep for an hour or so. The she makes him go back to sleep around 8:30 to 9:00. She also spanks him then if he doesn't want to sleep. I told her maybe he is getting too much sleep, she disagrees. She thinks he is just overtired and that is why she has to fight with him to take his naps. How many naps should a 15 month old get? Could someone give me some tips on how I could help her with this. I hate that she is spanking him to much. (Sleeps all night)

Hi, at the moment I'm 38 weeks along with my first little one and I need help!
Me and my husband have been having long talks about spanking our boy... I know its awhile off but I just wanted to get some outside opinions.
I wont tell you who believes what but one of us says that spanking is a natural form of punishment, nothing that would hurt the kid, but just enough to teach him no. He wont be able to understand if you just talk.
The other says that teaching him that hitting is a proper thing to do when someone does something bad, is wrong. It doesn't matter how light the touch.
We don't 'Fight' about it, but we just cant come to a common ground on this. I would rely like to have the issue sorted out before the baby comes.
I get the feeling he will find a way to play us off one another if we are not UNITED in our forms of punishment. The go to this parent and they say no, go to that one and they say yes kind of thing. ( I started doing it at 2yrs)
So what do you do? Spank or no Spank?

I'm not talking about infant formula. I'd like to know if there is any kind of milk powder that can be dissolved in warm-hot water and given to a toddler when traveling and of course I can stir in his usual malt flavoring. Now that we are going to travel a bit and wont have fresh milk available readily, I'm trying to find a way to continue with him drinking his milk when we are in transit to different places.
