I had a miscarriage mid-June. Two weeks ago my hcg level was 24.something. I am going back to get another one done tomorrow. All my pregnancy symptoms subsided a week or so after my miscarriage. But about a week ago all symptoms returned. I really don't think it is all in my head, is it possible that I could be pregnant again so soon. If I didn't actually lose everything in the miscarriage can your hcg rise again and cause a return of symptoms? How high does your hcg have to be to get a accurate result on a hpt.

I should be 9 weeks along. Early last week I went to the ob triage because I had been bleeding and I passed several large clots. The dr didn't see the baby with ultra sound and said that I had a miscarriage. When he got my hcg level back he started talking about twins and maybe I lost one or the gestation was earlier than we thought. I believe he said my hcg level was 2400. I went back last Thursday another hcg test done but I don't know the result yet, I have a Dr appt this Thur. I was so sure that I lost the baby. Would my hcg levels have been that high if I was having, had, or in the process of having a miscarriage?

After much arguing and fighting, I let my ex have our house. My lawyer said that I would not be allowed to taked my name off the mortgage because the bank would probably not allow it. Four months after the divorce my ex abandoned the house and moved out of state. Off course the bank forclosed on the house. Now my credit is pretty much ruined. Since he was financially responsible for the house (because of the divorce papers) is there anything that I can do to get this off my credit. Does anyone know how long I can expect this to stay on my credit? My lawyer told me the only way they could come after me for money is if my ex filed for bankrupcy. I can't believe that I was so stupid to not think about my credit, then again I didn't think this would happen. Stupid, stupid me!! Anyone know anything about this?

I finally got a manual camera! My last camera took pretty good pictures but I had no control over shutter speed, aperture, etc. I am a little overwelmed. Does anybody know of any good web sites or books to help me understand how to use my camera better?

I was raised in a christian home and I have read the bible. My question is how do religions choose which parts of the bible to practice and which parts to ignore? How do you decide when something no longer applies?

Example: When I was a kid we were not allowed to eat pork, shrimp, crab, etc.

But there are so many christians that do. The bible says that is wrong. Why do many christians do it anyway?

My old preacher use to preach that the bible said that you are not suppose to decorate your body or wear ornaments. Is that true? If it is why do so many christians wear jewelry.

I really mean no disrespect...I really was just wondering.

How long should a piercing really drain? I know everybody is different, etc. My nipples have been pierced for well over a year and they still drain a little bit. I know that they are not infected and they do not hurt at all. The drainage is a whitish color. I was just curious because none of my other piercing do this... I love my nipple rings..I really don't want to take them out...but should I? And yes they were done by a pro!

Does anyone know where I can find hand fed love birds around Columbia or St Louis Missouri? I am not having much luck.

I know the health benefits of eating whole wheat vs white.

Is there a huge difference in taste, texture, etc?

I got divorsed over a year ago. My ex moved out of state and rarely calls or visits my kids. This has been (understandably) extremely hard for my 7-yr-old. His dad calls and makes promises that he doesn't keep, he calls maybe once every 4 months. Sometimes he will even blame his irresponsibility on me. What can I do to help my son cope? He already had some psychological problems (not because he was difficult, which he wasn't) and he sees a therapist. He misses his dad but I feel helpless. I have gone out of my way to make the boys accessable to my ex. I offered to let him take them on my holidays,etc (I have full custody.) I can't make him be a better father but what can I do to help my son?)

Does anybody use philosophy products? Are they worth the price?

Not only is he a growing boy he is also on a med that stimulates his appitite! What are some good snacks that might keep my son full for longer than 10 minutes? He has been tested for food allergies and has none. Also he gets very limited sugar and no caffine? Please help his appitite is breaking me!

OK this may be a dumb/silly question but does the way a man's semen look give you any clues about his sperm count? My boyfriends is almost clear, thin and runny. He thinks this is caused by a low sperm count (this theory hasn't been tested.) Just curious.

I have a child with this diagnosis. Has changing energy levels through out the day but major manic/depressive cycles seem to range days to a little over a week. On meds. I am questioning diagnosis. What do you think?
