I have no personal experience with these, but I used to work in high tech and had friends with these in their wrists. A couple of them had grew weary of the inflammation associated with theirs and opted to have cortisone shots. The cysts shrank (one temporarily, the other permanently), but the...

EWwwww ... sounds like it's time to call Animal Control. A lot of people think animal control is evil, but it might be the best option in this case, unless you feel like talking to the owner yourself (which might not be a good idea since he's your neighbor and all). Do the dogs appear healthy...

I am exactly the same way - so much so, that my DH carries snacks in his pockets and in the car whenever we leave the house - just in case I get "hangry" (our term for angry + hungry - I get very grumpy as well as sick to my stomach). Every bag I own also has food in it ... You are not alone :)...

you betcha! arancini}(

I have to confess that after 27 I have the FIRST one ... I am by no means limited by that lucky number ... after that is every 3rd one until I can't stand it ... So, it basically goes: 27 ... small break ... 3 more ... start to laugh ... 3 more ... small break ... 3 or 5 more ... think I'm going...

What a great thread ... here's some free association about me: - i generally like animals better than people - what you see is what you get (although I have lots of friends - I just don't like the unkown masses - I think other drivers are insane, I never go to malls, etc.) - this is probably...

Thanks for the great advice, everyone! Yes, I am leaning towards going - I know travelling is not a threat to the baby, I just go up and down about how I am physically feeling and if I'll be able to be much fun. I will definitely look into the food there and make sure I don't eat anything...

Hey gang, I am 6 weeks and 3 days right now ... and am supposed to go to Argentina for a week at the end of July. Does anyone have any travel experiences to share while preggo? I am trying to decide whether or not it will be worth going (long trip, have to pee ALL the time, sleepy, etc.)...

:) :) :) Well - I had my ultrasound and everything looks good! I do have some brown fluid up by my cervix, and a whopper of a corpus luteum cyst (which is why I apparently have fabulous progesterone levels) ... but I am perfectly normal for 6 weeks and 2 days ... whew!!! Thanks for your...

Hello there, I am freaking out a bit ... I had a light spotting this morning with my bm. It was pretty pale and brown. No cramping or anything else and it seems to have stopped - but my miscarriage last oct didn't start with cramps either ... so, i'm off to the doc for an ultrasound at 4:00...

Yes, I've had a couple of kitties with this problem - and the culprit was urinary tract stones for them too. They had their urine checked, went on antibiotics even though no infection was visible in the analysis - and then went in for ultrasounds. That was the only way to see what the issue was...

Wow - congratulations, Morris! That is so wonderful :) and it sounds like the delivery went amazingly well. Enjoy little Finn and try to get some sleep ;) arancini

I second that - Toni Weschler's book is great and will give you a lot of insights. In terms of a short luteal phase though, there wasn't a lot of info in it that will help you - unless your monitor isn't really showing you your true cycle - then monitoring your cervical fluid, temperatures, and...

I had never done step before cathe - I started with her Basic Step/Body Fusion just to see what it was like (it didn't compare to swimming, which is what I had been doing). So, I picked up Low Max. It did take me several tries before I got it - but it was so worth it. Now I have almost every...

Hi Kittymom, I was worried about the same thing and called my doc. She had me come in a few days after my monitor said I'd ovulated and tested my progesterone levels. This will show whether you had a healthy ovulation and whether or not your prog levels are normal for that point in your...

Golfingirl - As I was taking my temp this morning it reminded me that this is also a way to sooth your fears of miscarriage. I've been taking mine to make sure it is still up where it should be :) If you've been taking your BBT, as long as it stays high with no big drops it's a sign that your...

I second what shopaholic says about the us being the best indicator - you could also ask for a blood test to check your hcg and progesterone levels now since in theory they can't really see anything definitive in a us until 7 weeks. I went in twice to have my levels checked due to my previous...

Wow - congratulations, Rachel!!! here's to a continued speedy recovery, too :) arancini

thanks, morris. I'm glad to hear that it's possible to do higher impact work that long. pre-pregnancy i could do basically any cathe wo, but now the cardios are definitely harder, and the strength dvds sometimes feel like cardio now. heck, even going up the stairs sometimes feels like cardio...

morris - at least according to some of my prego books the vena cava runs down your posterior side to the uterus & baby. in theory the weight of the uterus & baby decreases blood flow through the vena cava slowing oxygen to the baby and also lowering mom's blood pressure and blood flow return...
