My menstrual cycle is not due until tomorrow the 6th. I took a EPT pregnancy test on Saturday the 3rd and there was a dark horizontal line and a very light vertical indicating a positive (I couldn't wait, as we have been trying for a couple of months) I was not sure if my eyes were playing tricks on me so I bought another test, this time a first response and I tested yesterday the 4th, This time I got one dark line and another faint line again. I am going to schedule my Dr. appointment today to make sure. I just want to know if there has been anyone who got the same as me and ended up not being pregnant? I don't want to get excited and then get my hopes down.

I bought some K*Y warming Jelly today for the first time. It says that its not a spermicide. What does that mean?

Does it kill sperm? or is it only a lubricant?

Can it prevent me from getting pregnant in any way? can sperm swim through it? PLease help. I need some good answers for these questions. thank you!

i wrote last night about my son's eczema and his vomitting at least twice a week i think he has an allergy to the dog maybe? this morning he got out of bed and he has a rash on his face and on his ears, they are red spots slightly rasied and getting more making them close together, he seems fine in himself apart from gurny probably due to getting up earlier than usual this morning but he seems normal apart from that is there any common rashes that infants get on their faces. im almost positive it isnt a heat rash, and is there any cream i can use on the spots? any help appreciated thanks.

has a bit of a problem with yelling at his parents and being disrespectful and sometimes down right rude? I have been having this problem with him for awhile now and am always trying to explain to him that he cant be so disrespectful...he gets time outs and the whole time he sits there saying how we hate him and we are so mean and we never feed him, and what ever else he can come up with....I get so tired of explaining the rules to him...what are some good methods of dealing with 7 year olds who think they are already all grown up and know everything?

What if in the hospital a birth father decided to give the baby up for adoption and the birth mother didn't want that but the birth father had more rights than her. Do you think this would stop all the baby stealing done by adoption agencies and the mothers saying they don't know who the father is.

First off, I am not saying that people who have done this are wrong, I am just curious on what others think. I had an experience where my AFP levels were high, which points to the baby possibly having spina bifida (The spine didn’t fuse properly and as a result the baby is born with holes in his spine and/or back.) and doctors suggested I have an amnio. I refused to get an amnio and instead opted for an in-depth ultrasound. The ultrasound reveled that the baby was formed properly and looked normal. Because I had early bleeding and the ultrasound came back normal, the doctors said I really didn’t need the amnio and most likely the baby was fine. My question is, is it morally wrong to terminate a pregnancy just because there is a chance (be it 20% or a 90% chance) that the baby might not be “normal”? When I was going through my experience, I had to think long and hard and even though I have always dreamt of having a perfect little baby, I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t at least give him a chance at life. I didn’t do the amnio because there was a chance (even though it was small) of losing the baby after the amnio. On the other hand, what chance at life would he have if he was disabled? I am so torn and am just curious what people’s opinions are. I ended up giving birth @ 23 weeks and the baby did not survive. I have been racking my brain, trying to make sense of what happened (It was a PPROM) and at times I think that maybe my baby was going to be disabled and God was sparing me the heartache. Everything happens for a reason, right? But then I think, I wouldn’t care either way, he was my baby and I would have loved hi either way. Has anyone experience this before or been in a similar situation? And even if you haven’t, how do you feel about women aborting their baby because they were told the baby would be disabled or mentally ill?

My partner and i have been trying to conceive for the last month, no pressure or stress happening as we know once it is time it will happen - so we just enjoy it!
I have never been on the pill etc...and have fairly regular periods sometimes they are out 2-3 days.
Anyhow, i have done 3 tests in the last few weeks - more out of curiousity than anything and they were all neg although i am now nearly two weeks overdue for my period.
I will be taking another test tomoro and then one late next week. I haven't really felt nauseous just a lil dizzy sometimes and very tired.

Could there be a possibility of pregnancy or am i hoping for it too much?

I know the only way to determine is a test...im just curious as to whether i'd feel different by now if i was..and just to hear and learn more about how everything works even tho it varies from woman to woman.

The party will be in April. I'm planning ahead, so I'll have plenty of time to visit potential facilities and reserve it before it's booked up. There will be about 9 children attending, most of whom will be 2 years old. We are also planning on 20-25 adults (mainly immediate family and parents of other child guests), so I'd prefer somewhere that does not charge an additional fee per adult. Any ideas or personal experiences (both good and bad) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

my friend is having a baby that has a condition that means it will die during or soon after birth.Do you think it is an reasonable request for her to ask for a section as research has shown babies with this condition have a lot more chance of being born alive and living for longer if born this way.Her doctor has refused her on the basis the operation wont do mother or baby any good but all thats keeping her going is the chance of having time with her baby.

The doc doesn't want to give him anything because he's so little (5 months) - but he's up all night coughing. Any tips on how to quiet his cough and help him sleep? I've tried a vaporizor already.

My husband and I have had some sexual issues. Im 7months pregnant and I have spoken to him about it. At this stage he is scared of hurting the baby and tells me everyday how beautiful and desirable I am and that conforts me.I told him sex is important, not just for our marrriage but also to "keep me open" we had sex on Saturday morning and I felt like a virgin..(its been a month since we last made love) I am very horny these last couple of weeks and have started mastrubating to relief my frustration, sometimes three times a night..Can this be dangerous for my baby?or any side effects?

I asked a question about a week ago about spotting that I was having. Well, it just stopped yesterday after bleeding for 11 days. I am still having slight cramps, dizziness, recently I have become a little constipated, and I'm still having all the symptoms as before. I want to take a pregnancy test but I'm not sure that implantation bleeding would last that long. Also, with my first pregnancy a blood test didn't come back positive until I was 8 weeks pregnant. So should I take one anyways? Should I wait for a three weeks to see if I have a period? Or should I go to the doctor?
