How likely am I to get pregnant with twins if both of my grandmas had twins?

Sava

So I have noticed a lot of questions about twin pregnancies in here, but no one actually described ,my personal circumstances *lol*
BOTH of my grandmothers had twins, my mom is actually a twin, although her twin died after birth. I think she said she was a fraternal twin. My dad's brothers are definately fraternal twins. My hubby happens to have twins in his family also ( although I know his side shouldn't matter, when it comes to multiples ), so how likely am I to have a twin pregnancy?
Thanks for all the answers so far. I read about the genes passing down from mother to daughter, but I also read that a father can pass the gene down from his mom. Like I said in my family twins run on both sides. My hubby's family doesn't matter, unless we conceive a daughter. I was just wondering if my chances are higher as opposed it just being my mom's mom who has twins. (I hope that made sense *lol*)

Answer
Probably a little more likely than "normal" people. Fraternal twins are hereditary through women only--it's the tendency to release more than one egg that makes you more likely to have twins. Identical twins are NOT hereditary.

How likely is it to become pregnant with twins again after a miscarriage of another mans twins?

Baby T

6 years ago i was pregnant with twins and miscarried at 15 weeks (they were in different sacs so i guess they might have been fraternal twins), me and the father of those twins have since broken up. I am now with someone else and i was wondering, what are the chances of me getting pregnant with twins again by the man i'm with now even though the other twins were from my ex?
F.Y.I. : i'm not pregnant now, i'm just curious.

Answer
If you were pregnant with fraternal twins before, the man had nothing to do with it. Your body released two eggs when ovulating that month, and therefore it could be possible to have it happen again, it's just very unlikely. If the twins were in different sacs but shared a placenta, they could have been identical twins, which neither you or a man had anything to do with. Identical twins are just one of those odd coincidences of nature and again, unlikely to repeat itself.

If you and this new man in your life decide to have kids in the future, you would have probably have the same odds of having multiples as anyone else. What might increase your odds is if you are between the ages of 35 to 45 (they tend to release more eggs for some reason) or use some form of fertility treatment.

Twins are great and if you do have get them again, enjoy it! If you do become pregnant and there is only one baby though, don't be disappointed. Twins are hard and think of how your will be better able to focus all your love and attention on one baby instead of having to divide it between two. Good luck in the future!

Pregnant day period ends?

KrissKross

How likely is it to get pregnant the day or the day after your period ends? I had unprotected sex And my fertility calander says I'm 4 days away from my fertile days.
Just curious how possible it is.
Thanks in advance!!
Ps my
Cycle is 30days long.

Answer
Not very likely at all.

Here's some info.
And,.... don't get pregnant !

You have a cycle, 28 days (on average).

Beginning of your period is the first day ( blood sighting ); Day 1.
The last day before the start of your period is the last day; Day 28.

You are thee most fertile in the two week period in the middle, ovulation time (Days 8-20).
You are the least fertile a week before your period (cleansing out from ovulation; Days 21-28)
and a week after your period (re-building back up to ovulation; Days 1-7).

You are not fertile at all during your period (Days 1-3).

So, for safety sake, I would have sex, unprotected, a few days before
your expected period is to start, during your period time, and a few
days after your period ends. Stay away, unprotected, during
the middle 2 - 2 1/2 weeks.

Mark you period on the calendar and count days so you can plan ahead.

can my gf get pregnant after 4 days her period ended?

my dick didnt even go in ni just rubbed ut on her vagina n when i looked at my pants i had pre cummed. i did not come when i rubbed it on her. also it has been 4 days since her period ended. can she get pregnant?

Answer
Yes a woman can get pregnant 4 days after her period. Most women ovulate around 14 days from the start of their menstrual period, and sperm can live in the body for a few days and be ready to meet the egg when the woman ovulates.

That said, pregnancy is unlikely considering you did not ejaculate or insert yourself inside her. Precum in itself does not contain sperm, unless you recently ejaculated and had not urinated yet. Peeing clears the urethra of left over sperm. The reason why the "pull out" method is not recommended is because most guys cant completely control where/when they ejaculate.

Pregnant or irregular period?

mintedcand

From the beginning of Jan to beginning of March i didnât have my period, it came back the beginning of March, and yes i am TTC, im now late again for my period HOPING that itâs because im pregnant but whatâs the change my periods have just gone out of whack? My periods have never before been irregular except for that one time... didnât know how to explain this properly so hope it makes sense =P but what is your opinion on this...pregnant or just irregular period?

Answer
I hope you are pregnant too! It sounds like things are really out of whack though. If you find you are not pregnant this month and your cycle continues to be messed up (especially if you had regular cycles up until jan), you might want to check it out with your doctor to check for any hormonal imbalances or other issues. It is more likely the case you are still just irregular. But my finger are crossed for you. Good luck and lots of baby dust!!

Could I be pregnant? ( I have irregular period)?

shelley_wa

I have been having sex with my boyfriend since september and we use a condom everytime ( not broken). There was this one time I unrolled the condom and it didn't roll because it was upside down...I told my boyfriend that the tip of the condom touched the penis and he told me to unroll it again correctly..then he wiped the condom with his shirt...Im not sure if im pregnant or not.. i went to the Doctor and had a urine test ..it came our negative... i also have had tremendous amount of pregnancy tests ( like more then 12!!) they all came out negative...now my period is almost a week late( Based on my last period.. i have VERY irregular period) but I have been feeling bloated, tired and I eat even im not hungry... I had a lot of clear discharge this past week and i thought my period was going to come but it didn't...this morning( Dec4) I felt really dizzy and I slept for 5 hours for nap which I usually don't and now Im feeling tired again.....do you think I am pregnant???????

Answer
I highly doubt your pregnant. Your period is late, but what else is new right? You stated its very irregular, so it's irregular once again, that doesn't mean your pregnant. You stated your period was due Dec. 4th (today) but how is that so if your periods are irregular. I wouldn't expect an irregular period to come on time. And those symptoms of feeling bloated, tired, & eating all the time are not necessarily pregnancy symptoms. If your period is due anytime now, it sounds like your having "PMS." Which will make you feel bloated, hungry, and tired. The clear discharge is irrelevant. Pregnant women do not have an increase in discharge until they are further in their pregnancy, at about 4+ months. That is to keep the vagina clean so they are no infections. Sounds to me if your having an increase in discharge, then your ovulating. By that I mean your egg is dropping (your period is coming) and its ready to be either fertilized or released. The reason you have an increase in discharge during this moment is to help move the sperm to the egg faster. That's why its easier to become pregnant during ovulation (the egg is closer & the conditions are right--more fluids)

As far as the condom being on upside down, even though it touched the tip of his penis and say he even had precum already present, most condoms have spermicide on them. So that would have killed any sperm anyways. If you remember the type of condom, check to see if it has spermicide in it. If it does, you really have nothing to worry about.


So to answer your question, I dont think your pregnant. The negative pregnancy tests should have been enough to convince you that your not. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Is your (about 9 months) baby obsessed with smelling everything?

Her Mommy

My baby girl has been smelling everything! From her favorite puppy (whom she sleeps with every nap time/nap to my clothes to anything she gets her hands on LOL. It's cute...just wondered when/if your baby ever became obsessed with sniffing everything. She has "sniffed" her puppy for a while now to get to sleep (holds pups ear to her nose and inhales deep) now she sniffs everything LOL.

Answer
He doesn't sniff anything, yet. All babies go through there own weird little things.
My son has been, hard to explain, hmm clicking his tongue? Against the top of his mouth to make a loud noise, and today he started sticking it about and smacking his tongue against his lips, it looks so silly seeing his tongue stick out, its so tiny.

Making a Report Project - Help?

Newton

Can anyone help me to make a report? Its about Smoking??? pls? tnx

Answer
Effects of Smoking


There are numerous effects of smoking that affect the individual. They can affect not only your health but also your social and family life. It can also affect the non-smoker around you. Non-smokers suffer from allergies, noise and eye irritations and headaches as a result of inhaling second hand smoke. Smoking while youâre pregnant can result to the growth of the foetus and may even result in the death of the baby. Down below are some long term and short term effects of smoking.
Cigarette smoke contains around 4,000 chemicals, many of which are known to be highly poisonous and very harmful - over 40 are known to cause cancer. The chemicals found in a cigarette include;
⢠Benzene, a gasoline additive found in paints, paint thinners, adhesives and plastics. You can be exposed to benzene fumes while pumping gas.
⢠Asbestos, It is found in acoustic ceiling tiles, floor tiles, textured paint, exterior siding and appliances. Asbestos is only dangerous when its fibers become loose or when the material crumbles, which causes small particles to be set free and inhaled. Once inhaled, the microscopic fibers remain in the body forever. Asbestos can cause lung and bowel cancer, mesothelioma, asbestosis and other lung diseases. The risk of disease is believed to increase with smoking.
⢠Vinyl chloride and its derivative polyvinyl chloride (PVC). These plastic resins found in many products, including pipes, hoses, flooring, windows and credit cards. The greatest risk is to workers in these industries who manufacture and handle these products daily. High levels also are found in the materials used in the interiors of new cars, making that "new-car smell" potentially dangerous.
⢠Pesticides. While pesticide levels in foods are relatively harmless, pesticides used in your home or on your lawn may be dangerous because of the large quantities used. In some studies, farmers with high exposure to pesticides were found to have a higher risk of several different cancers, including leukemia.
⢠Formaldehyde. This can be a component of many products including cosmetics, paper, textiles and drugs. Formaldehyde initially was found to cause nasal cancer in rats. Since then, there has been considerable controversy as to the role of formaldehyde in causing cancer in humans.
⢠Other chemicals to watch out for include chloroform, trichloroethylene, tetrachlorethylene and dichlorobenzene. These may be found in solvents, cleaning products or deodorizers.
Short Term Effects
- increased pulse rate
- increased blood pressure
- dulled sense of taste and smell
- reduced appetite
- reduced production of urine
- watering of eyes
- decreased blood flow to body extremities (fingers and toes)
- possible dizziness and nausea due to increased carbon monoxide levels in the lungs and
blood stream
- temporary stimulation
- reduction of brain and nervous system activity
- smells - odor of smoke in hair, clothes etc...
Long Term Effects

- stains on fingers and teeth
- wrinkling and premature ageing of skin
- decreased blood flow in vessels supplying blood to the legs, increasing the risk of
gangrene
- hardening and narrowing of blood vessels, particularly of the heart and legs
- increased number of respiratory infections, such as colds, pneumonia and chronic
bronchitis
- asthma
- shortness of breath and coughing
- increased risk of emphysema
- increased risk of developing coronary heart disease and heart attack


Lung cancer is one of the numerous cancers that can form because of smoking. It is therefore not surprising that 9 out of 10 lung cancer patients are/were smokers.
There are many types of cancers that can arise due to smoking. Here are some of them along with pictures.
This is a picture of cheek cancer which affects the delicate cells of the cheek because they are exposed to the numerous chemicals in tobacco smoke.



This is a picture of upper lip cancer which affects the cells of the upper lip.

This is a section through a cancerous tumor in the lung. It is pretty thick and it severely limits the efficiency of the gaseous exchange system of your lung and this is why many people die.

The smoke from a cigarette can also affect the sells of your palm and fingers as the picture below indicates. Smoking generally affects almost every part of the body not only by cancers as these pictures show but also by wrinkling and ageing etc...


This is another picture of a section through a cancerous tumor but this time in the trachea. You can see it is very similar to the tumor in the lung except that it is almost instant death without medical help as the tumor can block off the wind pipe. This is a serious problem with developing countries as cigarettes are cheap and many people smoke them to relax. However these areas don't have many facilities and help, if an emergency occurs, is normally too late.

Possibility of being pregnant?

Carmen Sil

I gave my boyfriend head and he came in my mouth but i gagged and spat it out on the floor..i had my legs open (i was sitting, he was on his knees)..it got on my like knees alittle on my thighs but..i wanted to know if i could get pregnant..on how long it takes sperm to "die" or whatever..seriois answers please!!

Answer
Its Highly unlikely you are pregnant. Once sperm reaches the air, it dies. Plus the sperm has to be inside your vagina for it to fertilize the egg. So no, you aren't pregnant.

Pregnant and flying...?

ms_mae14

Can you still fly at 9 months pregnant?

Answer
All airlines make up their own rules and regulations regarding pregnant women. Some do not restrict travel at all, no matter what stage of pregnancy a women is in, and others start to restrict at 7 months, although the majority restrict around 36 weeks.

It is the last four weeks (once you reach the 9th month - 36 weeks) that women are usually prohibited from flying. As long as everything is fine, air travel does NOT increase the risk of pre-term labor, and poses no other risks to you or your child. The reason most airlines restrict travel at 36 weeks is because after 36 weeks, a women can go into labor at any time, and the airplane is not made to handle such situations. For one, there is no guarantee that a doctor will be on board a plane, plus, should any complications arise during the labor and delivery, the plane does not have the medical equipment to handle such situations and it could put the health of the mother and child in danger.

If the airline you want to fly allows you to fly at 9 months, you need to get a check-up from your doctor to make sure that you are in fit enough health, and that the pregnancy is healthy enough to allow for you to fly. Many airlines will require a medical certificate from your doctor dated 24-72 hours before your flight.

While traveling I advise you to keep your medical records, and the name and number of your doctor. You should also get the name and number of a doctor where you will be staying/visiting in case an emergency comes up.

To keep yourself safe and comfortable on the trip, follow these simple things:

*drink plenty of water
*avoid caffeine
*don't eat food that causes gas for at least one day before you travel (pressure builds up as you ascend through the altitudes and could cause pain)
*walk around as much as you can (up and down the aisles)
*stretch while sitting
*wear loose fitting clothing
*wear slip on shoes (your feet may swell)
*wear maternity support pantyhose or socks
*try to get an aisle seat or a front row seat for more leg room
*eat light foods
*eat small meals or snacks at frequent intervals rather than big heavy meals
*do not eat salt
*Wear your seat belt just under your abdomen (depending on how big you are, you can also ask for a seat belt extender - just be sure that that too goes under your abdomen)
*relax



I traveled internationally (14+ hours each way) last summer while pregnant. I left when I was 13 weeks and returned when I was around 30 weeks. I also did another short (3 hours each way) international trip (left at 32 weeks and returned at 34 weeks). My daughter was born 23 December and is perfectly healthy and happy. I have also traveled internationally at various stages with my first two pregnancies (my children are now 8&6).

I wrote an article about traveling while pregnant. It gives more in-depth information if you'd like to reference it: http://jamiehassen79.angelfire.com/pregnant_travel.html

If I can be of any more help or assistance, please feel free to contact me.

Chances of pregnancy 4 days before ovulation & pregnant?

Kate

My fiancee and I had unprotected sex on late Friday night/early Saturday morning and he came inside me. According to my period tracker app my fertile days started Friday and go through September 1st, which I would ovulate on the 31st. I also did some research that said that in order to concieve a girl you are supposed to have sex 3-4 days before ovulation, which would of been Saturday. So I was wondering if anyone has got pregnant 4 days before ovulation and what are my chances of being pregnant? Also, what date should I test? Thanks!!

Answer
Yes. It is definetly possible to get pregnant if you have sex a few days before ovulation. because sperm can survive inside of you for up to 3-5 days after sex. so the sperm can wait around for you to ovulate and release an egg. I have heard about that technique, for getting pregnant with a girl vs. a boy. i don't really know how easy that would be to follow. but you could try it. having sex a few days before ovulation is more likely to result in a girl tho. because girl sperm lasts longer than the boy sperm does. but boy sperm swims faster. so if you have sex right when you ovulate higher chance of getting a boy. so you never know. take a test about 2-3 weeks after last having sex and that should be accurate. or around the time you expect your next period.

good luck to you

can i get pregnant two days before ovulation?

lbk235

I had unprotected sex two days before ovulation. Could i be pregnant?

Answer
In ideal conditions, sperm can survive as long as five days in the reproductive tract. Most of them don't survive that long, but it is possible. It takes time for the sperm to travel from the vagina through the cervix and uterus and into the fallopian tubes to fertilize an egg. Two days before ovulation is indeed, very possible to become pregnant.

Consider, for example that couples dealing with low sperm count often are told to time sex such that the have intercourse two days before ovulation, the day of ovulation and two days after ovulation.

How can i get pregnant with twins?

Daniellee_

I want 12 & wanna get started. I'm now 18. I want twins for my first pregnancy.
Any ways to get pregnant with twins?
Do i just need to get the surgery done? Idk what the surgery is called but i don't know how much it would cost!

Answer
ok so being pregnant with twins is a lot of work on your body. im currently 16 wks preg w/twins but it wasn't on my own. it was by ivf and most insurance do not pay for that unless you're under microsoft but just for this year. ivf costs thousands of dollars if you don't have insurance. it'll cost you to be pregnant with twins than 1 single baby. more complications may arise and you've got to be monitored closely. if twins don't run in the family it's harder to 'spontaneously' get pregnant with twins but it does happen. also some twins do not survive the 1st trimester and you end up w/a singleton. i work in a high risk pregnancy office and i see the twin pregnancies come in the most - it's very costly

Pregnant with twins?

StephanieS

I am pregnant with twins I just found out I am 8 1/2 weeks along. I had to go to the emergency room last wednesday and they did a pelvic exam and said there was bleeding which I know I didn't have any bleeding prior. It stopped that day and then I had my regular obgyn appt. on Monday and they did another pelvic exam and all went well. Yesterday I woke up and there was blood it came out when I used the bathroom and then stopped. I called my doctor and he said most likely it was from the exam. But I was wondering if anyone who is or has carried twins if they had bled after the pelvic exams. I am scared when I see blood because I miscarried last year and thats the first thing that pops in my head. I just want to ease my mind more so all your answer are greatly appreciated thank you.

Answer
Many women carrying multiples spot...I read about on a web site for women who do IVF because many of those women have multiples. If the doctor isn't worried, you shouldn't be. Also, you didn't mention cramping. I carried twins also and had no spotting, they are now 7 years old. A friend of mine bled heavy a few times and was able to carry her twins to almost full term and deliver two wonderful babies....so don't worry!

Mothers who gave birth naturally.....and possibly mothers who have more then one child?

Loren

What was the worst part for you? Contractions? Crowing or "Ring of Fire"?

Also how did you feel from 8cm to 10cm?

I am asking this not because I am planning a natural birth but because I am a little worried my second labor will go fast! I know that all pregnancies and labors are different. My first was a fairly easy labor and delivery. I am 25 weeks pregnant with my second.

At 40 weeks 1 day I woke up at 5am in horrible pain. That pain was my contractions (which felt nothing like my doctor or other moms described them to be) They were already 5 minutes apart. We got to the hospital by 7am and I was 6cm dilated. By 9:30 I requested an epidural and at that time I was 8cm. I was not able to talk thru my contractions any longer, they were 3 minutes apart lasting 90 seconds but not fully going away. The epidural slowed my labor and they started pitocin. At 10:30 my contractions had not started back up so my doctor broke my water, I was 10cm by noon. My little one hadn't dropped yet so the nurse let my contractions push her down since I could not feel anything. At 1:45pm I felt a lot of pressure, the nurse checked me and I was ready to push! I delivered my daughter at 2:05pm.

Some moms I have recently talked to said that they think my labor will most likely be very quick, that I may not have time for an epidural and since I made it to 8cm on my own with not pain medication then I could probably do it naturally. I am nervous for this because it is "unknown" and I remember how much pain I was in at 8cm.

I have asked this question before....but I like the answerer's I get! I just like to her from different moms!

Answer
Your labor may be slower or faster. Having your 2nd,3rd and so fourth makes no difference, trust!
I will give u my experience with my most recent baby since I cannot go into detail of all 3. I will add though that my quickest was my most recent and my longest was my 3rd!
With my most recent baby...At 12:30am I was at my computer on yahoo answers (lol) and I stood up out of my chair for a second and my water broke completely right there (note, out of all 4 pregnancies, this was the only one when my water broke on its own at home). I quickly packed my stuff and called my husband who was at work at the time, all of this while I was having some constant mild cramping that felt like period cramps but would not go away. We rushed to the hospital and arrived at 1:30am, at 2:00am they checked me and said I was 4 centimeters but fully effaced,water broken. Pains started to get worse so they checked me again around 2:15 and said I was 7. Pains were getting instense, constant pain,no breathing in between, they were non-stop! Felt tons of pressure like I had to push and was crying and literally screaming in pain (mind you i deal with pain very well,too, not a screamer) i begged them to push they said i wasnt ready, was only 6-7, i told them that she was coming now and I had to push, begging for my doc. So, they checked me again and sure enough babys head was right there and I was fully dialated. Doc came in told me to start pushing. I pushed about 3-5 times and my baby was out at 2:30am! Everyone on the labor and delivery floor,including my doctors were shocked at how fast I moved along. Now for the truthful part:
After your water breaks the contractions are soooo much more intense,i have been 6cent with my other child without my water being broken and they were bearable,but after it breaks the pain is nonstop and excruciating! It does go by soo much faster though. I asked for the epidural as soon as I got there but there wasnt enough time since I gave birth 1 hour after getting admitted. It was sooo worth it though since it was all over so quickly,epidurals do slow things down a lot!!!
I really dont know how I did it.
The most pain for me was the contractions for sure. The baby crowning felt more like pressure that I needed to get out of me, the ring of fire,burned,stung and hurt pretty bad but nothing like those contractions! This was my first all natural birth with no meds or drugs. If I had to I would do it all over again because it went by much quicker...but, I have never felt that much pain in my life before,ever! LOL
I believe you made it through the contractions up to 8 better since your waters hadent broken yet. Once your water breaks, the contractions u are feeling come with a bang and u have no time to rest because they are constant! If you are not good with pain at all, then ask for an epi. if u think u can handle it, I believe it would go much faster for you. You never know! Good luck and congrats!!!

How do I loose baby fat and get back into shape fast?

Melissa O

I have been on maternity leave for 6 months due to complications. I am suppose to be back to work in 6 weeks now that I have had my baby. I work in a pretty physical unit as a nurses aide for dementia patients. I want to have lost as much weight as do-able and be in shape too, any suggestions?

Answer
1.Set goals. You'll be better able to make a realistic weight loss plan if you know how much weight you want to lose.

2.Identify your weaknesses. Are you a bread fiend? Do you have dessert after every meal and every snack? Is McDonald's your second home? Find the weakness and throttle it. It does not own you, you are stronger and cooler than to allow some silly little craving to knock you off your path.

3.Throw away anything you know is tempting. Those cinnamon buns with 500 calories each? Gone. The ramen noodles in your cabinet? Gone. The problem is that this is not always feasible. Often times we are not the only ones in our homes and therefore the call of the food must be withstood. In this case, out of sight truly is out of mind. Put unhealthy, unfilling foods in a drawer or in a cabinet that you rarely use. Put them all together to make a particularly unappetizing sight. Don't place them all in a decorative basket out on the counter. Place them in a drawer. A drawer heaping with pastries rarely looks like anything but a drawer of fat.

4.Eat less, but eat more often. If possible, eat 4-5 meals a day. This helps your metabolism and blood sugar to stay level as well. This does require a change in your schedule. Eat less within 6 hours of your bed time. You're less likely to burn the calories closer to your bed time. It's fine to eat a large breakfast and lunch because your body will be working on burning those calories for the whole day. Large dinners are likely to go unburned and converted into fat.

5.Do not skip breakfast. If you don't have time to prepare breakfast, buy healthy breakfast bars or those smoothies on the go. It is important to eat breakfast to jump start your metabolism and give you energy for the day. Otherwise you will probably end up falling back on unhealthy foods during the day. Yogurt is also known to boost your metabolism.

6.Eat healthy snacks when you feel hungry between meal times. Healthy snacks would be things high in fiber, fruits and vegetables. Avoid high sugar and high calorie snacks. This will help you get nutrients as well as help lower your appetite so you won't overeat during meals.

7.Increase your fiber intake. Fiber acts as negative calories. It's also filling and healthy for your digestive system. Make it a part of every meal.

8.Eat slowly and chew more. Take time to enjoy your meals. This will help you to finish at the same time as others, and you'll not be tempted by a second helping. Also, chewing more will ensure you get the most out of all the food and it will be digested faster. The more you chew, the more your appetite will be satiated.

9.Drink more water every day. Stay hydrated. While you don't need 8 cups of water a day to stay hydrated, it'll make sure you're hydrated as well as cut down on your hunger levels and force you to get a little bit more exercise (trips to the sink, water cooler, water fountain, and bathroom). If you're a heavy soda drinker, permit yourself to only one diet soda per day, maximum. Just one extra soda each day can add 15 pounds. Recently, fizzy drinks, even diet ones, have been said to slow down metabolism.

10.Increase physical activity. There are two ways to reduce net caloric intake: 1) reduce the number of calories in your diet and 2) Increase the number of calories that you burn in your daily activities. Both approaches are usually necessary and healthful and both are effective in losing weight. You can pick and choose which exercise you want to do, depending on your fitness level and drive. For example: walking, jogging, using the stair stepper, using cross training machines, swimming, tennis, and basketball. Weight training (and resistance training) can help reshape your body. The more muscle you have the higher your metabolism will be.

11.Find active friends. Find people that will drag you out to do more active things. It doesn't have to be much, but any exercise even walking around the mall is better than none.

12.Don't get discouraged. After one or two weeks of initial weight loss, it is quite common for your metabolism to slow down as it adjusts to the new calorie count. Stay on course and you'll see results. In some cases, the scale will tell you your weight is barely changing, but you may be gaining muscle weight while losing fat weight. Also make sure to weigh yourself first thing in the morning to try to avoid the fluctuations in weight due to water.

13.Take all advice with a grain of salt. Everyone is going to have some tidbit of information for you. What worked for them might not work for you. Take it all in stride and work with what is getting results for you. Trying to do everything everyone says will only cause overload.

14.Eat more protein. If you choose to go this route, do not cut out all carbs. If you do so, as soon as you start eating carbs again you will regain your weight back. Instead of eating stand alone pasta, throw some meatballs or chicken in. Eat some beans, they are high in protein and very healthy for you. Increase the ammount of protein, but not by too much. The more protein you take in, the more water you should drink as well.

15.Eat less calories. The average woman should eat around 2,000 calories a day and the average male 2,500. There's many ways to reduce the calories you intake. Try not to eat frozen dinners, pizza, or from fast food joints. There's also certain drinks, such as Green Tea that are calorie reducers. Lettuce is another calorie reducer, but be careful because dressing tends to have the calories. Low fat/light vinnegette, balsomic vineger, red wine and vineger are pretty healthy dressings, but do not load it on

Anyone try any fertility herbs to get pregnant?

cutenwild1

If so did it work? and what kinda did you use how long did it take...or do you just think its a big joke??some of these places say its better then clomid???
im reading about fertileaid and it looks like it may could work...shoot im willing to try anything...including standing on my head lol sorry im drinking heheh!

Answer
i used fertilitea and i got prego the next cycle. i also used that in conjunction to fertility blend for her.

Have sex three times a week.

Having regular sex is the best way to get pregnant. Couples often try to time everything perfectly for ovulation but do not have sex when they think they are not ovulating. It is true that sex that is not within the time of ovulation will not result in pregnancy. However, because women do not always ovulate when they think they will, having sex three times a week will help to a woman cover her bases, so to speak, and not miss an opportunity to get pregnant.

2. Use an ovulation prediction kit or fertility monitor.

Using an ovulation kit to predict when you are ovulating will improve your chances of getting pregnant. For many women charting or other methods of ovulation prediction are too confusing. Ovulation prediction kits work by reading LH surges prior to ovulation. They are relatively easy to use and are generally accurate for predicting ovulation. Fertility monitors, such as the Clear Blue Easy monitor, are also a worthwhile investment if you would like to get pregnant faster. Fertility monitors are similar to ovulation prediction kits in that they read changes in LH but they also read changes in other hormones and donât require any guesswork for couples. They are easy to use and will tell you when the best time to get pregnant is.

3. Have sex before ovulation (not after).

Sometimes couples get confused about the best time to have sex in relationship to ovulation. You have a small window of time each month to get pregnant. After a woman ovulates the egg will survive approximately 24 hours. Sperm, on the other hand, will live for up to three to five days. This is why having sex two to three days before ovulation will increase your chances of getting pregnant. Donât wait until the day you ovulate to have sex. Your partnerâs sperm will last longer than your egg and you donât want to miss an opportunity by waiting.

4. Donât rely on the Calendar method for predicting ovulation.

A lot of couples have heard to have sex around day fourteen of your cycle. This is based on the calendar method and assumes that you have a regular 28-day cycle and ovulate mid-cycle. Although this is better than just picking an arbitrary day to have sex, it is not a very accurate way to predict when you ovulate. Many women do not ovulate on day fourteen and knowing precisely when you ovulate will help you time intercourse better. Ovulation prediction kits, looking at previous months bbt charts, or watching for body cues will help you to determine when you ovulate.

5. Charting may not be the best way to predict ovulation.

Charting is great for tracking your cycle but it does have disadvantages. By the time you can see ovulation on a bbt chart, you have already ovulated. It is good to chart so you can track your cycles, see if you ovulate the same time each month, and also so you can look back on your cycle and see if you timed things right. But if this is your first cycle trying to get pregnant or if you are not ovulating at the same time each month, an ovulation prediction kit would be more helpful.

6. See a doctor before you start trying to get pregnant.
Make sure you are in good health and have had a regular check up from your OBGYN or medical provider. Untreated infections, sexually transmitted diseases, or poor health can affect your chances of getting pregnant. Its good to see a doctor as well as start taking prenatal vitamins prior to trying to conceive.

7. Donât smoke, drink alcohol, or abuse drugs when trying to get pregnant.
This may seem like common sense but many women do try to get pregnant while smoking, drinking or using drugs. Smoking, drugs, and alcohol can affect your fertility. It will also affect your unborn child. It is important to stop smoking or using drugs and alcohol before getting pregnant and not wait until you find out you are pregnant.

8. Have enjoyable sex.

Sometimes when couples are trying to conceive, sex becomes a job or function of reproduction and is not as enjoyable. Plan a romantic evening or try something different to spice things up. How you are feeling sexually may factor into your chances of getting pregnant. Some researchers believe that having an orgasm during sex increases your chances of getting pregnant. For women, the spasmic movements of orgasm will help pull the sperm into the uterus and for men a better orgasm may increase the manâs sperm count.

9. Have sex in positions that keep sperm inside the vagina longer.

The missionary position is a good position to use when trying to get pregnant. Avoid positions where the woman is on top. Gravity will allow sperm to leak out with these positions. Also try placing a pillow under your hips to help tilt your pelvis and keep the sperm in longer. Donât get up right after sex. Try to relax and allow the sperm to stay in the vagina as long as possible.

10. There is no such thing as trying too hard to get pregnant.
Most couples get pregnant within a year of trying. If you have not gotten pregnant within a year consult your doctor for advice.

How to get pregnant easier ?

branjp86

I've lost 3 pregnancies so far and my husband and I want to start trying again. do different sexual positions make a difference in conception? and are there any foods that make a difference? please HELP ME

Answer
The missionary position has been said to be the best position for sperm retention. Also, after your husband ejaculates, it would help to sit a pillow underneath your bottom and remain in that position for a few minutes to minimize leakage. Some research has shown that if the female partner has an orgasm right after her male partner, her body retatins more sperm (altho this is almost impossible, lol). There are no foods that I know of that have a significant effect on fertility however, you can speak to your doctor about fertility drugs. If you would rather not revert to this choice just yet, track your cycle or buy an ovulation predictor. A woman really only has 24 hours to get pregnant after ovulation (egg releases from ovary) so you have to work fast!

I'm pregnant and 16. Help.

Answer
I know this must be scary for you. Iâm 16 also, and I canât imagine how difficult it would be to be in your position! <3

Taking care of a baby isn't easy, and it's even harder when you are young, but it CAN be done. There are many resources and people who would be willing to help you out. If you provide information on where you live, I can get you information on programs in your area to help you through this process. One nationwide program is the Alternatives Pregnancy Center; they can get you help both before and after the delivery. Many of their locations provide pregnancy tests, medical scans, ultrasounds, and help you in adoption process if you wish to go that route. You could try a google search to find one in your area.

Since you are so young, you might feel like you aren't ready to take care of a child yourself. I would urge you to seriously consider adoption over abortion.

Although many people will probably tell you to have an abortion and get it over with- medical studies have shown that abortion can result in serious medical and mental side affects that would negatively impact you for years to come. Not only does abortion completely eliminate your babyâs life, it also increases the chances of you becoming infertile. I know so many poor ladies who have gone through abortions, and suffered from severe mental depression for years afterwards as a result. Believe me, itâs not something you want to have to go through.

But thereâs good news!

Choosing adoption allows your baby to be put in a good home where he or she can be loved and cared for (you would even get to help in the process of choosing parents!) while still allowing you to pursue your life and careers. Many times, there is the option for an open adoption, which means that you would still get to visit the baby and be a part of his/herâs life.

Also good news- the majority of adoption agencies do not charge anything to put a child up for adoption. On top of that, most agencies offer financial assistance for prenatal and delivery expenses. Adoption agencies are increasing in number and easier to access than ever.

Good luck to you! Hope I helped a little.
I can get you my email if youâd like to talk more/have any questions.

why do people like iphones better than android?

Q. Why do people like iPhones better than androids?

Here is my explanation for it: like a quick silver shirt is to a regular shirt, it's just a name and extremely expensive. Mac is the quicksilver of the computer and phone world.

If you weigh everything together, all the specs to price and capability, android and PC win by a longshot.

For IPhones to androids first: cut out the palm pre and stuff, they are no competition. Besides windows phones which are catching up fast, many people don't need what it offers. My first argument to iPhones: OS. Yes, I will admit the iPhone OS is nice. But android is pretty much the same thing, but more customizable. iPhone is customizable too if you jailbreak it, but if you do, apple cuts your warranty.
My second argument: choice. Yes iPhone has a huge app store, but hardware wise they are limited to black or white. There is only one iPhone that you just have to accept, while there are dozens of phones that run android on EVERY network: Even virgin mobile and Boost mobile! iPhone is only on ATT or Verizon in which ATT sucks and Verizon is TOO expensive. And there are many different types of android devices to suit your needs. If you want a 4" screen with keyboard, you have the droid 3 on Verizon. If you want a 3d phone, you have the evo 3d on sprint. If you want a smaller android phone, you have the htc stood incredible on Verizon. If you want a huge screen without a keyboard, there is the HTC evo. And now almost all of the phones coming out of android support 4g which is on the all 4 the major networks now. iPhone doesn't support 4g, or even offer an iPhone slide or keyboard or something.
And the future of android is aha Cingular 3 times as fast as iPhone. By December, motorola is coming out with a 4 core phone: the droid targa. Apple doesnt even have a dual core phone out yet, which many new android phones have.
Apple is still ahead with tablets, but the Galaxy tab now supports 4g, which the iPad does not. And many more tablets are on the way.tell me your argument

Answer
Average consumers still don't have a clue about Android and what it's capable of. Apple is still on top in their eyes and they don't realize how much "the Google phone" has grown. You have to remember, not everybody keeps up with tech, especially older folks. Plus, Apple advertises better and many stores promote Apple products over Android.

I prefer Android, but if I were to recommend a smartphone to non-techy friends, I'd tell them to get the iPhone. It's simpler, more polished/fluid, has more apps, and easier to use. Not everybody wants to customize their phone... they just want something that works out of the box and the iPhone does this better than any other phone - hate to say it, but it's true.

Also, the disparity of Android phones is often looked at as fragmentation. It angers me that I can't access Tegra 2 games on my EVO 3D, Xperia Play gets some games way in advance, and many apps/games don't take full advantage of the new qHD resolution. Heck, some apps/games are unusable/unplayable because of the type of screen I have.

There's also a sense of identification and brand loyalty for Apple fans. Many people make the easy transition from using ipods to iphones, so they could care less about what Google is doing. If someone is used to and likes iTunes, then it's a pretty tough sell to get them to switch to Android.

All that being said, Android phones are activated over half a million times each day! It's constantly growing and soon some of those average consumers won't be able to ignore it.

I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and iPad 2. I love both. Again, for average consumers, I'd recommend the iPad 2 over the GT. Why? because the iPad 2 is simpler and offers a more polished experience. Honeycomb is still very young, has bugs (way more force closes than on iPad2), can lag at times, and it has an identity crisis (Ice Cream Sandwich will change that). This will also quickly change as developers start to jump on-board the tablet bandwagon. Also, aside from the Galaxy Tab 10.1, no other Android tablets can compete with the iPad 2's thin/light design. I hope more manufacturers follow in the footsteps of Samsung. To me, thinness/lightness are two of the most important features when looking for a tablet. I love the fact that I can run around with my GT holding it with just two fingers. I had a Motorola Xoom before and I always felt like I had to baby it when moving it around - so heavy/thick.

I want to be pregnant so bad!?

Kayla

My husband and I have been trying. To get. Pregnant for 8 months I really wanted to be pregnant before a year but I'm so scared I wont get pregnant because i miss my period alot I've been to the doctor and they never even checked me for anything I'm going to switch doctors but I just want to be pregnant. So bad everyone around me is have babies and getting pregnant I'm happy for them but deep down inside I want to cry I just want my own baby!! Does anyone have good ideas on how to getting pregnant fast and has anyone felt this way?

Answer
Breathe...just breathe...as long as your stressing about getting pregnant your body will just be to stressed making it harder for you to conceive, trust me I know how your feeling, I once was in baby making fever with no success, once I relaxed and left it up to just happening naturally...i then found out I was pregnant! If your periods are irregular I reccomend getting a doctors opinion and let them know you are trying to conceive, also its a good idea to start tracking your periods of when they begin and end. A good app is my days it can be downloaded to your phone from playstore or market for Android. This app will tell you your ovulation time based off your periods. just know you have greater chances after just finishing a period I reccomend having sex regularly and if you want after lay on your back with your legs curved up for like 10min giving sperm extra help to get to your egg. Sperm live for days inside you and when that egg comes along in its 24hour window the sperm will take care of the rest, I hope I have been helpful, remember just have fun making love and dont worry so much and I guarantee you will up your chances! Good luck and best wishes!

The thing to do was leave you, but I should'a left then
Now I'm too old to leave you, but I still get sore
When you come home a-feelin' for the knob on the door

Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby cry
I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby why...

My Laptop has noise in the background playing every now and again..even voices!!?

Flyers

Ok, I have an Acer Windows Vista laptop and recently I've been having some trouble with it. The other day, I was getting messages that I should activate an anti virus software to protect my computer because it may be infected. I didn't think all that much of it until 2 days ago. I could hear this static noise coming from the speakers. The noise would stop after about 1 minute then repeat about 3 minutes later. I just turned my computer off and again, didn't think much of it. Last night, I had my laptop turned on but was not using it at all. I again heard this noise only this time, I could hear faint voices and maybe even a baby crying. It is possible for someone to hack into my computer where they could hear/see me through my web cam and I could hear them with out me knowing?

Our baby ball python has a respiratory infection. What is the best treatment?

greeneyes

She will completely submerge her head in the water and drink and then when she comes up she will hack it all up. She has mucas around her mouth and has been making wheezing and clicking noises. I now suspect that she already had this when we bought her because she has always made the clicking sounds and keeps her mouth open.

Answer
She needs to go to an experienced reptile vet, as I'm sure it has already been said. They will give you all the advice you need to care for her whilst she gets better, and probably give her anti-biotics.

Can you get pregnant a week before you period?

Emily

this is kinda random but it was going through my head too.
let's just say you have sex a week before your supposed to get your period, can you get pregnant?

Answer
Can you get pregnant a week before your period and can you get pregnant a week before you're "supposed" to get your period are two VERY different questions. The length of your cycle can change from month to month. So you may be used to a 28 day cycle and due to stress or diet end up having a 35 day cycle. Your fertile time is not based on when your period is, it's based on when you ovulate which is a moving target.

You are only fertile for 5-7 days out of your cycle. The time before ovulation can vary significantly even for the same woman from month to month. The time after you ovulate is much more consistent for the same woman but on average ranges from 10-14 days among women generally.

Assuming that you have sex 7 days before you actually start your period, it's extremely unlikely that you could get pregnant. In order to be fertile 7 days before your period begins, you would have to ovulate very late in your cycle and have a very short time between ovulation and your next period. 7 days is such a short time, in fact, that it would likely render you infertile with what is known as a luteal phase defect. Fertility drs say that you need at least a 9 day time frame between ovulation and your next period to get pregnant.

If you have sex 7 days before you think you're going to have your period and you're even 4 days wrong, then you could well be having sex smack dab in the middle of your fertile period.

If you would like a very good, readable and detailed book on the topic, pick up Taking Charge of Your Fertility. It's the bible for both people who are tracking their cycles to conceive and using it as a form of birth control.

can i get pregnant a couple days before my period?

janedoetw

OK, well, i am 24 and is in a relationship with this guy and we had sex. but he didn't pull out. i am a bit worried that i could get pregnant, but can you get pregnant a couple days before your period? i'm supposed to start within the next 2-4 days. can this happen? i have tried looking it up. all i can figure out is that you can only get pregnant when you ovulate. can an egg get fertilized in the uterus after ovulation? PLEASE HELP ME.

Answer
It is VERY unlikely to get pregnant a couple days before your period. At that point, you have already ovulated and the egg has died. The only risk is not knowing exactly when your period is coming. But if you are right and it is due in two-four days, there is pretty much no chance.

You ovulate at least 12 days before your period and your egg is only good for 24-48 hours. It is much more likely to get pregnant 2 days after your period ends than two days before it starts.

If you're not planning to go on birth control, start tracking your periods, and this will help you understand when the most fertile times are. Even with pull out, you want to avoid having sex during your most fertile times.

Tips to get pregnant?

Emma :)

Hi well me and my partner really want to have a baby. I am trying to get pregnant. What are some good tips on how to make me have more chance of getting pregnant. Like any special positions or things i could do??

Answer
My doctor told me to have sex everyday and this will ensure that when I am ovulating that we are increasing the chances. A friend of mine recently conceived baby number 2 but making her husband not have sex or ejaculate for 2 weeks and then have sex on every day between 10-17 of her cycle... not sure how many husbands would do this but hey it worked for them.
I have also heard that the following all increases your chances:
Doggy style or man on top
lie down with bottom elevated for at least 30 minutes
Try not to urinate for about an hour as urine kills the semen

Best of luck and hope this month is the one for you and for everybody trying

advice for getting pregnant after using Depo-Provera?

Ayesha

having used Depo-Provera for the past 10 years, my last shot was in feb 2007, and ran out early july. ive heard it can take 1-2 years to become pregnant... is there any medical methods or such to 'encourage' the menstural cycle to return and be able to conceive sooner?

Answer
I love answering this question... so at age 15 when I started having sex, wonderful Kaiser suggested the DEPO shot because I wouldn't have to remember anything and they would send me the reminder card in the mail every 3 months to go get a new shot. I took the shot for about 2 years. On time religiously never got pregnant. Yes I had a steady BF!

So I then turned 18 and was with my long term BF and we decided to start trying to conceive... well after 4.5 years I was unable to become pregnant.

We broke it off when I ws 22.. I started seeing my "friend with benefits" knowing I was very messed up in the fertility department we brushed it off like nothing...

So here I am now 25 (barley) and we found out we were pregnant the first week of May.... so it took me almost 8 years to conceive... I did end up miscarrying but that was due to other reasons. I refused surgery so they (planned parenthood) gave me RU-486 to finish the process.

I do not believe that DEPO is the way to go, I tell all my friends stick with a pill if its that serious... and use a condom if your sketch about the pills....

So once again, yes I had issues. I have yet to meet someone who actually had their periods normally right after not taking the shot... and yet to meet a person that conceived after getting off the shot.

Advice from someone who was on the depo then got pregnant please?

Amy-Lee

Me and my partner are trying for a baby. It has been almost a year now and I was wondering how long it took others to get pregnant after the depo. I only had the shot once and cant remember when I only remember I was supposed to get my top up in september last year Me and my partner have been trying since regulary since the november.

Answer
it took me about a year and a half to get pregnant coming off depo. at least im not he only one. the more i hear and read, and see questions like this, im surprised it isnt mentioned by doctors, it seems to be common actually. keep trying. wish you the best my dear

added-- i had the shot 3 times. if you only had it once, it might just be about time to get tested. hope everything turns out ok.
