feeling hopelessView Thread
Here is my situation: I moved out of the States about 6 months ago. Due to many changes in living, eating, losing about 50 pounds, my period was absent for almost 3 months. I brought Provera with me when I moved. I have PCOS so I have a history of irregular periods. So I began taking the Provera late October. My fiancée and I had unprotected sex (4x) when I had about 3-4 days left on the Provera, mid-November. I did not think it was a big deal and Provera would prevent a pregnancy. A week after I ended the Provera I began with horrible, horrible cramps. Very light period with bad cramps. Cramps ended and regular flow began. About 4 days after that period ended I began a new period, but this one consisted more of old (brown/rust colored) blood. Still did not think anything different.
Last Friday I got sick. I thought I had a cold or the flu. I was in bed for two days just feeling bad. My illness has since traveled to my stomach and every time I eat, I have severe diarrhea. I still did not think much of it (although I had fleeting thoughts, of "I am pregnant"), but maybe stomach flu. However, two days ago, I began with the heartburn. I realized my sense of smell was much stronger. I am an emotional wreck. I have electricity shooting through my breasts, not regularly, but enough to get my attention. I feel fuller in my stomach and breasts. The nausea has kicked in full swing. This morning I woke up to rush to the bathroom to get sick. I miscarried about a year ago, and so much of what I remembered of my experience then is happening now, the heartburn, morning sickness, etc... Before I confirmed my pregnancy last year, I had those thoughts of "I am pregnant" not "am I pregnant" just like I am now. That pregnancy occurred after 9 years of trying with my ex-husband, also 9 years of wondering "am I pregnant". Currently my fiancée and I are not TTC. This was not a planned event. So please ladies give me your opinions. Is it possible that I could be pregnant after taking Provera with 2 periods?
Thank you in advance

Which would be the best gift I could ever give him, telling him that he is going to be a father. My question is, is this a typical schedule or does it depend on the female's health or the couple's health?View Thread

Example: Got my period on Nov 17th and it lasted until Nov 21. A few days afterwards I started to feel the pre-ovulation sensations. On Nov 26, I got the "smiley" face on the ovulation stick (which detected my LH surge). During the next 4 days, my husband and I were very active (Nov 26-30). Well, from Dec 1st to date I have been feeling the pre-menustration cramping (tender breasts, lower back pain, tingling sensation on the lower front right side). Period is due on or around Dec 12th.
Not sure why I do not have at least one week or so where I dont feel "any" pre-menustration cramping or pre-ovulation symptoms. Seems like my body goes from one right to the other.
Note: This is not the first month that this has happened.
Is this normal?View Thread
I went to the doctor last week for stomach cramping. It started at my belly button and was to the left on down to my pelvic area. The doctor thinks that it is my body getting used to being off birth control and thought that it might be implantation cramping since we were 10 days since ovulation.
The lower abdominal cramping has almost gone away although my abs feel like I have done 100 crunches..........and I haven't! it hurts on both sides of my belly button like they are being stretched. I have been very tired this week as well. I have also been gassy, but that isn't abnormal for me although is there is pressure in my abs when I pass gas.
I go back Monday for a follow up and possibly an ultra sound and another pregnancy test if my period doesn't come before then.
Has anyone had similar cramping? Could it be implantation or something else?View Thread
Ok so me and my hubby have desided to try and have a baby. Were so excited and happy. But im Freaking out at the same time! I just really want to make sure I give my baby the best start health wise. Ive been smokeing since I was 16 (Yes I know its horried) Ive quite so far its been two days since my last cigg and I dont plan on doing it again. But heres my worries...
Ok I was wondering how long does it take for smoke to lave the body , meaning if we were to try and have a baby tonight, will it have a chance of there being smoke/nicotine? I know my lungs are and will be destroyed for a long time but im more worried about my blood system for the baby then my lungs.
And also im taking One-A-Day's Prenatle Vititmas with DHA , are they any good?
My Ideal plan would be to be on the Vitamin for atlease a month to have the vitamins in my body for a bit then get preggers.
I just really want the best for my baby. I dont want to do anything wrong. Is this a good plan or should I watie longer Untill the smoke/nictoine clears my body?
Thanks for any advice.
Ps: sorry if my spelling is bad still learing Eglish... thanks!View Thread
