  • Am I experiencing implantation bleeding, or do I have a new LP?

    Hey everyone. My cycles are normally 30/32 days with a 14 day LP. I am currently on CD 27, 10 DPO. I started spotting yesterday evening and am still spotting now and is light brown/pink. It doesn't even hit the liner, only when I wipe (sorry for TMI!) Could my LP be changing or implantation?

  • Forced to take Intermittent FMLA for prenatal appts?

    I was curious.. If an employee finds out they are pregnant, can their employer force them to take intermittent FMLA leave for their regular prenatals appointments? Could the employee take their regular sick leave/accured time/PTO/etc instead of FMLA? Is it legal?

  • Romantic ideas for hubby who is deployed for Valentines Day?

    I want to do something romantic for my husband, who is currently deployed for Valentine's Day. His birthday is the beginning of the month, so I will already do the practical package. We have another 6 months until we are together again, so I want to do something sweet and romantic! He is conservative, so nothing too outrageous! LOL Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

  • Is it wrong to tell my mother she is not allowed at my paternal grandma's funeral?

    My dad's mom died this morning. Her funeral is coming up this next week. My father and mother divorced in 1988. She kept bringing my dad through the courts, and didn't allow my sister and I to go to our grandfather's (dad's dad) funeral in 1996. Was it wrong of us to tell her that she wouldn't be welcome at the funeral and not to come? None of the family likes her, neither did my grandmother...She thinks she has the right to be there, but to me she should at most just send condolences. My sister and I have a strained relationship with her already as she left us when we were freshman in high school so she could meet men instead of raising twins. We are now 24.

  • Explaining to a 3yr Old the deployment process?

    My husband is currently deployed, and we are trying to explain to my 3yr old nephew why his uncle isn't around...We have showed him maps and tried to get him to talk to his uncle, but he won't. He keeps saying he is mad at his uncle because he won't come and see him... How can we help him better to understand that his uncle wants to see him, but is on deployment?

  • Could I be pregnant?

    I last had sex with my husband on Sept. 2(He left for Active Duty :( then), started my period on the 3rd. My periods are always consistant, and on time, every 28 days.... I was due to start on Monday, the 1st of October, yet Aunt Flow hasn't shown up. I took a test this morning when I got up, and got a negative result... I feel dumb for asking, but could I be pregnant? I'm not any more stressed than I have been since Feb, or sick, and haven't had the cramping I normally get before I get my period, but have got the other normal pre-cycle symptoms, only breasts aren't as tender as they normally are. Anyone else had this happen?
