I wanted to make sure your rheumatologist advised you that
sulfasalazine inhibits the absorbtion of folic acid -- so if there is
a chance you might become pregnant you should be taking an extra-large
supplement.

I am a working mother. My baby is 3 months old now. Well, I can't stand
being away from her, to the point where I get depressed and go into the
bathroom and cry. I do this almost everyday, not sure if it is hormonal or
what. Well, there is no way I could stay at home without bring ...

Forgive my complaining, but I need advice from others:
I have had a headache for the past 28 hours...my whole head and neck
aches. It's not a migraine. I have tried everything I can think of: warm
bath, nap, drinking water like a crazy woman, eating protein, eating a

Recently came across this newsgroup and Iam really glad that it exists
and has wonderful information. Iam ttc my #1 for about 7 cycles now.
My cycle usually lasts for 32-35 days. Iam using the OPKs. Past few
cycles we timed it perfectly around ovulation and notice that the

Hello Shena! I've been meaning to check in with you since you had little
Logan but haven't gotten around to it. I know I don't post much in here any
more but I've really been following your story and thinking about you and
keeping you in my prayers because I know you were going ...

I've been at home for 9 month with my incredible baby girl--I had
planned to go back to work, but I took one look at her and quit a very
good position on the fast track to bigger and better things. I
certainly couldn't afford it financially, but the plastic card does

This is my first time writing to any group online. But now I am really
desperate to find answers to my questions.
Me and my husband have been trying to get pregnant for 4 months now. I
m observing some changes in my cycle which scares me. I have had 28

Does anybody know if any pain relieve medication can cause any problems with fertility or early pregnancy. I've woken with a headache and sore neck but don't want to take pain killers like ibuprofen if it will cause any problem. Any Ideas ?

I've been looking at all the darling personalized I'm a Big Sister
t-shirts and noted that some have iron ons and others are embroidered.
The embroidered ones are appealing, but appear to be rather puckered
in the photos.

I never knew how complicated pregnancy would be! I just found out at my
last appt about Strep B screening.  I found some literature so I know
basically what Strep B is and the (rare) effects it can have on a
newborn...so what I am looking for is people's opinions about the

I honestly feel like myself at my worst few days premenstural-except that
there's no signs of lifting. And I know my husband  is feeling it. (His
sister chastised him for calling me "irritable"-although he's 100% correct).
Is there anything I can do to minimize these mood swings? I ...

From time to time, my 1-1/2 mo old is really fidgety when I'm feeding her.
She will squirm and arch her back almost during the whole feeding.  I bring
her up several times to burp and that doesn't seem to remedy the problem.
Could it be her bowels causing her the distress?

Happy 33rd Birthday, Sandi!
I hope you have a wonderful day!  :-)

Sorry this is so long but I really need to talk to someone
with some experience!
I broke up with my girlfriend about a month ago.
Infact in the two years we spent together we broke

I've heard from several different sources recently that you shouldn't use
sunbeds whilst pregnant.  However, despite extensive searching, the only
authoratative advice I can find is on the BBC website which states that
there is no evidence that sunbeds can harm your baby, but they ...
