I've been having 4 days of positive ovulation tests! I thought maybe the line would start fading after the second day but the line is still pretty dark. I used the Answer brand and AF is due to arrive in about another 9 days. I had serious ovulation cramps two days ago. What does this mean? Why am I still getting positive OPK results?

I know stress can affect ovulation but I know I've already ovulated this month and was loving life but two days after that I've been experiencing stress (oh the joy! Why do things seem to happen when all you want to do is relax and let nature run its course?) Will this affect conceiving Even after I experienced it two days after ovulation? Anyone with experience?

I got my mirena removed and 2 and a half weeks later I got my first period (super light period) after having that thing in for two years. Well, my husband and I decided to try for baby number two. After that period, we decided to try immediately. Well, all I've gotten this cycle is a bunch of pink and brown discharge but no real blood? And 2 negative pregnancy tests. Anyone have any similar experience after getting mirena removed? I just want my normal cycle back. I'm so frustrated I ever got that stupid thing.

So, I went to a womens expo where I live and signed up to win a bunch of prizes. Well,i got

a call back from a Mary Kay consultant telling me I was one of the winners but I had to come to a party to claim my prize. So I went to one of their parties (I've been to a lot of them.) At the end of the party, she was trying to convince me to sell mary kay. She told me she would take me out and buy me desert and tell me all about it. So, after talking with my husband we both felt it best to start selling this stuff when I was older and were more established and bored with our lives. So,I kindly canceled the plans not wanting to waste her time and money and told her which products I wanted for my gift card I had won.

Well she called me a day later telling me to call her back and update. Well,i know if I do that she will try to convince me more, but at the same time I haven't received the things I asked for that I Won. It has been about 3 weeks. Do I just forget it? Is there an easier way to say hey I want my prize, but don't want to buy anything or sell anything. I know she has my address. So, that is no reason I shouldn't have received my product

I've had my mirena for a little bit over 4 months now. Sometimes when I sit funny I can feel a little prick and just these past 2 nights my husband had bern complaining that the could have been scratching him and we have never had a problem before. I heard that the doctor can cut the strings but this only makes it worse because their suppose to wrap around the cervix wall anyways. Is there anything the doctor can do? I don't want to take it out just yet.

I just got Mirena yesterday since I just had my little girl and don't want another one for at least 3 to 5 years. I have read that the strings can poke your man during sex. We haven't had sex yet since I was feeling extremely crampy since I got it put in. How many of you guys have felt the strings during sex?

I just got checked for dilation today. I'm 38 weeks pregnant, dilated to a 3, 80% effaced. I have been having bright red blood bleeding since I got home this morning. I know spotting is normal, but is this much bleeding normal??

Basically what it says above...

baby has dropped extremely low into my pelvis. There is a lot of pressure down there. I'm just wondering if this may be a sign that baby may come earlier than I think?

I just got my 16 week gender ultrasound done, I was 16 w 3 days along. They seemed very confident it was a girl as my baby was in a good position to tell. And of course I couldn't see any boy parts either. My husband and I are so excited that it's a girl. I'm just hoping that they are right. Have any of you had any experiences with 16 week ultrasounds??

I go back in at my 21 week just to confirm so I'm crossing my fingers. I also have a lot of confidence in the clinic I go to so we'll see.

I'm 15 weeks pregnant with a little belly that pops out. My husband and close family members can tell there is something there but nobody else can. I'm relatively tall and skinny but would like to show more that I'm pregnant. When did everyone tell that you were definitely pregnant with your first baby?

I got my positive this morning! Certainly scared and excited at the same time. My obgyn appt isn't till a couple of weeks. I don't want to tell everyone too soon if I have a miscarriage. When is the right time to tell people? When did you tell your friends and family? I don't want to wait for my appointment either. Oh and thank you for all the love and support I have gotten from everyone. Baby dust to all!!

Okay, so I am a little distraught and frustrated right now. Danette has been my best friend since we were in 7th grade and have always had a close relationship. She had gotten engaged last summer and we were so excited and I told her I wanted to be in the planning of the wedding and I could help anyway I could. Well, unfortunately right before christmas she decided to break off the engagement and was completely there for her anyway I could be. Well, we had lived about a few hours away from each other so it was kind of hard to just go out and meet for lunch, but we had called each other a lot after that. I told her this last spring to keep her schedule open because my husband and I were going to be in town.

I called her everyday we were in town and she claimed she was too busy. On the last day we were there she had finally told me that she had a boyfriend. A week later after arriving home I see on facebook that she had gotten engaged and had never said a word to me, no text no nothing. I felt angry, I don't know what I did to not have her tell me about this? I was completely happy for her when I knew that she had moved on. I had told her about the times when I was dating, the day I had gotten engaged and now she completely ignores me. First she was engaged to a different guy, 5 months later she is engaged to another. Maybe she was a little embarrassed by this? All I have said to her is congratulations since.

So, I had gotten an invitation to her bridal shower tomorrow and I don't know whether to go or not. I haven't talked to her and she has not spoken a word to me. Should I keep this friendship going and go to the shower or just let it be and then she will know that she has lost a friend.

I heard that bacterial vaginosis was very common in women. My gyno had called me and said I had a small case of it but it would probably clean itself out. I have also heard that if you take the prescription for it that it would just most likely come back anyways. It is a little bothersome but it is hard to tell when I am ovulating because of it. I have also stopped taking baths because I heard that the scent in the baths can make it worse and it has gotten better, but it just seems to come back right after sex with my husband. I am just wondering if it will effect my chances of getting pregnant?

Okay so I am 5 days late for my period. the day after my period was due I just had brown discharge for 3 days and now nothing. I took a pregnancy test this morning and It came back negative. My husband and I have sex pretty regularly and My periods are very regularly. I will wait another week if my period doesn't come and take another pregnancy test. But What could be causing this??? And no birth control was used.

i closed the wound up and added some liquid bandage to it will this help prevent a big scar from forming?
