What do you think of the name Helen?

I was diagnosed with hyperprolactinemia. I was wondering if any of you have been diagnosed with the same, and if you have had any luck with trying to conceive? I am currently taking bromocriptin to level out my prolactin. I just wonder how others cope with this?

I'm 34. And have been trying to get pregnant for over a year. I was referred to a specialist. She did an exam and ruled out PCOS. and I don't have any blockages. My periods are irregular. The doctor drew labs for me and I'm waiting on results...has anyone else very had problems similar to mine? And were you successful in having a child?

I am a little confused about the Ovulation tests. It may sound silly but my husband and I have not used any birth control for over a year. I have not gotten pregnant.

We are now serious about having a child and I would like to know when to use these tests. Any advice?

I've been having breast tenderness for a week or so. What could be the causes of this? I know it isn't pregnancy.

I will turn 34 this year. I have difficulty getting pregnant. I've been trying for a year, and nothing. I am worried that it is too old to start to try to conceive. I worry there will be health risks. I don't know what kind of treatments tricare covers. I am seriously giving up hope. Any advice?

I have highly irregular periods. I was on the birth control pill (Which I was on for regulation) and since going off in December my periods 'regulated' to every other month.

There was a glitch in my system and now I haven't had a period since june. (This isn't the first time this has happened. When this happened before going on the pill in 07, I went 3 months w/o a period then when it did start, it didn't stop for 6 months. My Doctor put me on the pill. Which stopped the bleeding AND regulated me.)

I don't know if this sounds like PCOS symptoms. We were trying to have a baby with no luck.

Has anyone else experienced this and been diagnosed with PCOS?

The symptoms I saw online stated Hairgrowth, weight gain, acne, and irregular periods.

I do have the Irregular periods, but that is my only symptom.

any advice?

Does anyone know of an inexpensive yet really yummy restaurant in chinatown in DC?

I have always wanted to adopt a child. However, I have read the book The Mistress's Daughter by A.M. Homes. I've also read several posts on here from adopted children that seem to have a somewhat negative slant towards the adoptive parents or maybe the adoption process in general.

How do people who were adopted feel about it? Is it a postive or negative experience? Do they have hostility towards their birth parents and/or their adoptive parents? Do they always feel they can't identify with one or the other? OR do they specifically identify with biological as opposed to adoptive parents (or vice versa)?

What do adoptive parents need to do to help their children?

If we do adopt, I want to make sure we understand these issues truly so that we can assist the child through any emotional issues as much as possible.

I had light spotting on Thursday. I thought I had gotten my period, as it is late for the month. (I am irregular, only having a cycle every other month) But it only lasted one day, and was very light pink. I took a target brand One Step Test. The "test" portion of the test came back negative. But the Control line never appeared. My question is, even though there was no control line, is the negative result still valid?

I was tested for PCOS and the test came back negative. I was wondering if it is a condition that developes overtime?

I've been keeping track of my period for the last 6 mons. (After i went off the pill). My period only comes every other month. I was wondering if anyone else has this issue, and what could be some likely causes?

I threw away the vine that our grapes were on, and my cat fished it out of the trash and was munchin' away on it. I took it away from her, and am doing an internet search, but cannot find if this is poison or not. Does anyone know?

I like the vibrant colors of saltwater fish, and I would like to have a salt water aquarium, but I am worried about the difficulties in having fish like that. i'm not afraid of the work that it involves, I just don't want to not be prepared for it. I have had freshwater fish previously and had a lot of luck with them. Any advice?

I recently switched birth control pills, and I keep battling a yeast infection. I've tried OTC treatments, it clears it up only temporarily. Anyone else ever deal with this?

Can it be due to switching pills, or could it indicate something worse?

What are some christmas gift ideas for an 11 year old girl? My boyfriend's daughter is that age, and I want to get her something that she will really enjoy...Any ideas?

I have had a small flutter feeling in my throat on and off all day long. Has anyone else had this? What could be the cause for it?

My cat has never had any issues with NOT going in her litter box, until recently. I was using scoop away litter for YEARS, and saw Feline Pine, and heard how it was 'safer' for the cat. I bought a bag, and did the gradual mix in that the package suggested.

She HATED the feline pine, but went relunctantly in her litter box. I bought a box of scoop away, and did the switch back to that.

She is now going under the piano bench.

I tried moving the lid off of her litter box, in case she was 'confused'

Nothing is working.

How do I get her to go in her litter box again? Will she forever go under the piano bench now?

Who is your favorite and least favorite tattoo artist on the show?

Is anyone else addicted to that show like I am?

I think they are such a sweet family.
