This is a repost, as I think I confused people away from answering with my acronyms! Thanks ;0)

I'm hoping to hear from some late bloomers here. I am about 13 DPO (maybe 12..) and got a BFN on a FRER with FMU that I saved in a cup from this morning. Yesterday I took a $Tree test with FMU and WITHIN the 10 minute time limit, got a very faint pink line. The $$ Tree test is sensitive to 25ml. Not sure what to think. AF is a day late today.

So, has anyone had a BFN on First Response Early Result at 13 DPO.... then ended up with a BFP later?? I really would like to specifically hear from women who have had this experience with FRER in particular. Also, how long can urine be saved before it is no longer useful?

Acronym Guide ;0)

AF= Aunt Flo (period)
DPO= Days Past Ovulation
BFN= Big Fat Negative
BFP= Big Fat Positive
FMU= First Morning Urine
FRER= First Response Early Result

(note, I am not pregnant, I can't become pregnant unless I choose to, because I'm a lesbian)


The names I pick are ones like:

Eliora Saffron(f),
Lysander Elliot(m),
Miriam Esther(F),
Saul Albin(m) ,
Molly Symone (F).

Are these odd names?

He's acting like he's in horrible pain. I am having back pains, and I am trying to get together the nursery, names for the baby, insurance stuff, going through mild contractions, etc. etc. But he's in bed playing XBOX and trying not to do anything but complain about having to do work because he's coughing.

I LOVE HIM SO MUCH! But I am exhausted and things are not ready for our upcoming baby, and we are seeing signs of early labor.

Am I being to hard on him?

We like the name Brooke and would like to use it as the first name but we can't seem to come up with a middle name to go with it. If anyone has any ideas please share them, we don't have much more time to go and really need a name. Thanks!

a girl was babysitting her older sisters baby because she was tired from work. so all goes well for the first few hours. Then the mother of both the older sister and the girl shows up holding hot tea (the mother mostly babysitts the child) Since the mother was getting ready to eat she said she would feed the baby also. the girl agrees and tells her she is going to go use the bathroom "quickly" . while in the bathroom the girl hears a splash and then crying so she thinks that the toddler accidently spilled her drink but then she hears heavy crying so she rushes down stairs and tells her mother why is the baby crying so loud and the mother says '' she spilled my hot tea on her arm". when the girl looked at the baby arm it was burned, a piece of the skin was gone frightened and amazed at the burn she calls the childs mother. When she arrives she blames it on the girl becuase she left her in charge but then blames it on both of them for not removing the tea so who's to blame

A friend of a friend's baby was born with some slits on her neck that supposedly never closed prior to birth. The mother claims these slits are normal and help the baby to breathe while inside the womb but should close up before birth. Hers didn't.

Since she was born 4 months ago, fluid leaks from these slits and the baby will have to undergo surgery to close these slits or "gills" in a few more months.

Can you shed any light on this? I have never it of it before in my life, and I am 60 years old.

i recently posted a question about my son climbing out of his crib. he was diagnosed with a developmental delay , he is not walking. so when he is climbing out he is going head first. this is why i believe he is not ready for a toddler bed. but if he is ready i am willing to try. so any suggestions from anyone who has the same problem or had it would be great.

Why would a woman have a baby if all she's going to do when it arrives is put it in a car seat/crib/bouncy seat/moses basket/pram for the first few months.... then follow it up with putting it in a play-gym/baby walker/highchair for a few months after that.....then when it can get around, put it in a playpen/stroller/cot constantly?

I'm sure you all know people like this.....with their kids constantly stuck in some 'device' - anything so as not to have to interact with them?

Why do people like this even have kids?

My son seems to be talking more than his friends that are his age and even up to 9 months older than him. He picks up on things so quickly. I can read books to him for about an hour before he gets bored. He talks in 4 or 5 word sentences. I don't know if I just think he is smart because he is mine, but lots of people tell me that they are also amazed. If you can tell by my spelling, I am not a genius, but I would like to know if there is a test he can take to see if he is ahead and if he is if there is a program or book I should read to help challenge him. Thanks!

Is it because of the media? You know, water breaks, pant pant puff puff, rush to hospital, out pops baby?

Birth is not an emergency. Most of the time it takes a decent stretch of time for a healthy woman to labour and birth her baby. There really shouldn't be any need to rush or panic. Even in cases of precipitous (very fast) birth, I don't think it's an emergency. If it's going fast, it's usually going well, and it happens every day across the world to countless women, with or without medical assistance.

Is it all part of the huge mystery and scare tactics surrounding birth?

Opinions?

It just got me thinking reading questions today that I have heard from some women that you usually labor alot quicker in your 2nd, 3rd, ect... pregnancies then your 1st. In my 1st I labored for 23 hrs. I am 24 weeks now and guess if that theory stands true by opinions here at this sight. Do any mothers agree that there 2nd went quicker then there 1st??? I am curoius to know who may have had the shortest labor??
