  • Am I pregnant?? 2 positive tests 4 negative now?

    My husband and I have been trying for 7months. When I say trying i have charted off and on and got to know my body a little better after having the mirena removed But not religiously. So anyway, last night I took a clear blue easy digital pg test...came back positive Said 1-2weeks.. with in the hour I took a normal pregnancy test that came back positive. About an hour or so later took another CBEasy test and came back 'not pregnant' I drank anout two bottles of water so thought ok this is probably why.

    So this evening after work we went to our local urgent care and took their urine test which was negative to :/ i had drank water all day too. So I pretty well begged for a blood test and have to wait til tomorrow for the results...

    What are my chances? Has this happened to anyone else? We are OK either way but really both are excited and hoping for a pos test.

  • Just started Armour, Can this cause eye twitching or possible nutrition deficiency?

    I just started Armour thyroid almost 3 weeks ago after not being to happy on Synthroid. I noticed 24hours after beginning Armour my right eye began to twitch, not to the point of blinking just a very faint twitch of only my right eye. It happens when I get excited, laughing, sneezing every single day, sometimes driving or when I get overly nervous/stressed. It is almost undetectible to someone looking at me unless they really focus. But it is REALLY annoying to me and makes me concerned. I began to read some on it and realized that some vitamin deficiencies can make eyes twitch and I know I'm on the lower side of some vtamins/minerals like my ferritin and a little on the normal-low side of my iron but just not sure. I read magnesium can definitely make your eye twitch if you are deficient, but not sure if I am or not. But it can't be coincidence that it happened the day after beginning Armour and hasn't quit since.

    Has anyone else experienced this while taking armour? any other suggestions?

    Thanks!

  • Armour thyroid? Hair loss? Support?

    I've been on synthroid for a couple years and before I got on it I was losing hair, once I started synthroid it got worse and have not been able to wear my hair down for 2years because I've lost so much. I've now been on armour almost 2weeks and notice I have less of an appetite, I feel better, have some more energy, less brain fog, not extremely sensitive to light, a little more focued and HOPE to grow my hair back! Its thinned all over almost a bald spot in the back of my head and thinning so much in the front I'm beginning to worry it will be completely bald... :/ do I have any hope? I can handle thin/fine hair just not the see through spots!! Did any of you see significant change on armour? What kinds of changes and how long after starting?

    I'm eating better, trying my best to drink plenty of water, exercising almost daily and taking a good multi several hours after I take armour.

    Just looking for a little support and hope! Open to any suggestions of any kinb

  • what color curtains with light gray walls and light brown couch?

    We are moving into a new place and just trying to piece things together, we painted the living room before we got the couch so it wasnt really planned. The living room and kitchen are a color called "Barnwood" which is a very light gray color. The couch is a lighter brown color and I'm just stumped on what color curtains should be. We have an open floor plan so and the kitchen and living room run together, we have a black entertainment center, end tables and coffee table. The kitchen backsplash is going to be bead board painted black and the counter top is going to be a mixture of blacks, creams, and browns.

    The curtains I am needing to buy are going to be for an entire wall in the living room as we have 3 huge windows in there, half of them sit behind the couch while the rest of the curtains will run on down the wall.

    I'm thinking a cream off white color, like Fresh Ivory? but I'm just not sure, would appreciate any suggestions and help.

    Thank you.

  • What to seal new swing set with?

    I bought my son a swing set, one of the swing-and-slide swing sets, while they are a good value for the money they do NOT seal the wood, they just stain it.

    I want to seal my sons swing set to make it last longer and look nicer longer, I am confused on what would be the best product for this? I read reviews that Thompson water sealer doesn't last long and I'm looking for something that will.. Any Ideas? or experiences?

  • I'm thinking about getting a Credit Card, what should I know?

    I'm thinking about getting a credit card, but I'm just not sure it is something I want to do. I've read some and from what I've read they are not so bad, if you can be responsible enough with them and pay off your bill by the end of the month. I'm guessing if you let it go a few months then your looking at building that interest and that's where it gets you? What else should I know, good or bad? However, I don't find it all bad paying a little interest back if I could pay over a period of 3-4months?...

    I like the idea of just having one for EMERGENCIES. Whether it be if my Boston Terrier became really sick and required high dollar vet care I couldn't provide at that very moment or any other emergencies.

    I would want something with no Annual fee, what other things should I look for in a credit card?

    Over all, would just love to know all the pros/cons of having a Credit card and what is the best way to go about having one? Also, for those that do have one, which one is the best? I have always liked Visa, but I just don't know enough at this point to dive in.

    Thanks!

  • Hair loss help? (stress/hypothyroid)?

    I have been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism, I am now on a pill and trying to find the right dose and pill that is right for me. I have been having hair loss for 2years, I am 23 and it is now to the point that I cannot wear my hair down anymore at all, I have to keep it up to hide it but I have lost so much even that has become a CHORE to hide it. :( I need help!

    I'm working on a better diet, I am drinking more water, I am starting on Fish Oil, Multi Vitamin and/or hair, nail, skin vitamin.

    I have used Olive oil, raw egg, Aloe and Apple Cider Vinegar in my hair/on my scalp and they seem to help some but never used enough or continuous enough to see if it actually helped promote hair growth. Now I am reading more about Evening Primrose Oil and taking the pills along with it to help promote hair growth and I just need HELP!! I've also read about Hot oil treatments, that open up the shaft and pore and help to clear out any debris and then you seal the pore/hair shaft. But I have read so much my head is spinning...

    Anyone out there going through or have went through this and have found things that has worked for them?

    Thanks!

  • Should I be worried about my 4yr old developmentally? (long)?

    My son just turned 4 in September. He is a sweet natured child, but has always been home with me until he started daycare in Early September. The daycare says he behaves great, he is sweet natured and don't really have any trouble. Although this past friday they mentioned that all the kids will be getting evals for development and they did think something could be wrong with my son! I was worried, but had to rush to work and was able to talk to them when I picked him up. They told me that he is smart and his speech isn't the best, but their worry was that he didn't get everything all the other kids do. Which I don't disagree, he should be able to follow multiple directions and if he knows exactly what you are talking about he can follow 2-4step directions. However, I have noticed he can't understand something like: "If YOU do this for me, then YOU will get this". It's like all he hears is , what he will get and doesn't understand what he has to do to get it. I of course don't use bribery often but just using this as an example. I've read about a lot of the different "disorders" and he doesn't have any of the signs besides ADHD signs...Like he changes anything you are talking about to his favorite toys/things which is Thomas the train if he doesn't exactly understand you or whatever, He also repeats thomas and things to do with thomas constantly..But he LOVES thomas and this is what he wants to do when he comes home, he has a big imagination and he definitely does not lack in any way with that. But, I think a lot of the adhd symptoms/signs are Most NORMAL kids, just some kids are different then others and it would take an extreme case (Which I am NOT denying there aren't those cases) Where a child would have extreme concentration problems, hyperactivity probs etc,.. before I would medicate or try to take things further.

    I just think my son just turned 4, He has been at home with me his entire life and hasn't had To much experience with the things he is doing in daycare, socially he is GREAT and loves everyone, very polite, complete eye contact, great for his Dr's etc,... He just seems to have a comprehension problems with some things....I know once they do the eval they are going to have something they want to do with him, and I am just wondering really, what is a NORMAL 4yr old?

  • Will Federal Work Study Money affect My HUD rent payment?

    I live with my father and have a 4yr old son, We went over the household income by going to school and doing the Federal-Work Study Program where I work at school and earn income.

    I am also On KTAP, Where they are giving me $425, $225 for going to school/working and $200 for trasnportation. Well this is all great, I earn a total of $958 per month. We are on HUD and they just lowered my foodstamps from $313 to $101, that means the whole $225 I get from KTAP will go straight to our food, Now we got a letter from HUD saying we need to turn in where I am doing KTAP, Federal work study and stuff at school. I'm worried if they raise our rent then I am NOT going to be able to afford to keep doing this at all. Don't get me wrong I appreciate all this help and hope when I receive my degree in a year that I will be able to find a job but right now I NEED this help, but they want to give me help this way and take it away a nother :( I'm worried our rent is going to go up and my father can't afford to help and I won't be able to either. I also have to worry about my own gas, car insurance payment, phone bill and any extra needs my son and I need monthly.

    Can or Will HUD raise our rent?

    Thanks.

  • Is 3 weeks old to young to bring home a Guinea Pig?

    I'm finding so many varying answers that I am not sure what to think.

    There are NO Guinea Pig breeders with in my area, I don't want to buy from a pet store. There is a breeder that is an hour away and she has 4 babies available, they are 2 days old and she said they can go to their new homes at 3 weeks because beyond that the males can impregnate their mother.

    My instincts tell me this is to young, but some people say it is not while others say 6-8weeks old.

    She has sent me pictures and her cages are large she keeps her piggies in and with many things to do, she talks about them like she loves them. I of course know that this alone does NOT make a good breeder a good one, but all in all is 3 weeks to young? and if so, why?

    Thanks!

  • How are Guinea pigs as pets?

    I am looking for a small pet for my family, I love ferets and few other types of small pets but most of them have a Smell that I just cant get over. While I know mice and rats make wonderful pets and people really love them, I just can't get over they are mice/rats. I am thinking about a Degu or Guinea pig, I am having no luck finding a degu breeder near me and The more I have read about Guinea pigs I like. But I have some questions:

    How Friendly are they? Can I teach mine to come when called by his name? are they interactive with you? I have watched some youtube videos and some seem VERY interactive with their humans.

    What is a god cage size recommendation? Mine would get daily out of cage time, but what is the minimum for guinea pig to actually be happy? Is it ABSOLUTELY necessary I buy a pair rather than just one male guinea pig to keep as a pet?

    What kind of smell do they put off? I use to have a lionhead rabbit and while I loved him to death, I could not stand the STRONG odor of his urine. Do Guinea pigs have this problem? I can never tell in our local pet stores because the Ferrets smell is always so overbearing on top of anything else.

    I am hoping I can find a local breeder.

    Anything else I should know from experience? I have seen many websites and am still researching but looking for people with actual experiences with them.

    Thanks!

  • Which Laptop for a College Student?

    I'm going to college to be a Electronics Health Record Specialist, which means I am going to have a a lot of programs that will be downloaded to my computer & be on it quite a bit since some of my classes are going to be ONLINE. I would LIKE to stay under $550 (before taxes) but for the PERFECT laptop I could go up to $600-$650.

    I am looking at the New I believe e-series Sony Vaio Laptops, i have heard I can get more bang for my buck with DELL, but the Sony's are better made and would probably get my full 3-5yr use out of a Sony more so than a DELL computer.

    I am open to really any brand with in my Budge, I just want something that is Going to Last..And I'm not going to be a yr into having it & it crash, start freezing or something. I keep up to date with my Anti-Virus Software and all updates.

    I am Not a gamer, I want Wi-Fi-That will be quick in wi-fi hot spots, must have dvd/cd reader/writer, I want something Fast & reliable, Bluetooth would be Nice not a must, Must have webcam/microphone, A TON of storage is not a must just a few GB's will do. --A fan on the side and not on the bottom would probably be a good thing for me as well, As I am forgetful at times.

    The Sony Vaio I am looking at is I believe $549 on Walmart.com...that tops out my budget, but is it worth it? I am hearing they are, or is it just the NAME?

    Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

    Thanks!

  • Laptop Laid down on bed, got to hot? Laptop Repair ?

    My Boyfriend laid his laptop down on his bed while turned on, Our guess is..It got to hot and burnt the Hard Drive up? Neither of us really don't know much about hardware on a computer, but this is what I am thinking has happened? It is a newer HP Laptop he payed $550 for it brand new a year ago from Wal-Mart. I was planning to barrow it to use for school this semester, but am now thinking I might as well buy a new one because this one is probably going to cost a lot to have fixed.

    What are my options?

    I believe when he turns it on, it becomes a blue screen or I'm not even sure if it comes on period.

    I haven't looked at it in person yet. But what could I expect to pay to have this fixed?

    and if I had it fixed should I expect any other problems like battery life, prone to over-heating or anything else to be affected? I need a dependable computer for my classes, 3 of them are Online.

  • Can I spend my Subsidized Student Loan on anything?

    I just got everything set up for my Subsidized Student Loan, I understand the terms and spending the money on things I don't need for school only has its consequences later. However, their are a few things I would like to buy for my son and I that won't total to much & I think will be good investments anyway for the both of us. But the way they made it sound, they would be tracking How I use the money. Or at least studentloan.gov made it sound this way. But I have heard from everyone else that once school expenses are subtracted from the Loan, the rest of the money is yours to spend freely - Of course they advise you to use it for school expenses only.

    So, my question is for those that didn't catch it, Does the school track what you spend your student loan on and how much?

    Thanks :)
