I went of off birth control pills Nov 2004 to ttc baby #1. I didn’t get a period on my own until 2 and a half years later, in June 2007. For the past year I have had 9 menstrual cycles. My cycles are very irregular,and I usually have 40 to 60 days in between periods. My hubby and I are ttc but finding it difficult because of my irregular periods. I don’t know when/if I am ovulating. I am taking a prenatal vitamin, vitex, calcium, magnesium, zinc, vitamin B6 and PABA. I am about 5’6” and 150 lbs. I do have some stress/anxiety, but even when I don’t stress my periods are still irregular. I eat pretty healthy too.

Does anyone know how I can regulate my menstrual cycle to the normal 28-35 days? I do not want to go back on birth control, as I am ttc. Any advise I would really be grateful for. Thank you!
I just turned 26 years old.

Hello all,

I went of off birth control pills Nov 2004 to ttc baby #1. I didn’t get a period on my own until 2 and a half years later, in June 2007. For the past year I have had 9 menstrual cycles. My cycles are very irregular,and I usually have 40 to 60 days in between periods. My hubby and I are ttc but finding it difficult because of my irregular periods. I don’t know when/if I am ovulating. I am taking a prenatal vitamin, vitex, calcium, magnesium, zinc, vitamin B6 and PABA. I am about 5’6” and 150 lbs. I do have some stress/anxiety, but even when I don’t stress my periods are still irregular. I eat pretty healthy too.

Does anyone know how I can regulate my menstrual cycle to the normal 28-35 days? I do not want to go back on birth control, as I am ttc. Any advise I would really be grateful for. Thank you!
I has a transvaginal ultrasound about 2 years ago, and the doctors said my ovaries, eggs, are normal. They said everything looked good.

I’m in my sixth month of pregnancy and I have been extra tired. I wasn’t expecting to be tired yet for another month or so, being farther along. Has anyone else experienced this? I was extra tired when I first found out I was pregnant at like 4 weeks but that was due to my anxiety (such big news) not letting me sleep. Then the whole second month I was busy with vacation and summer activities so that had me tired but other than that I don’t know what to account it for other than me waking up at six in the morning and not being able to fall back asleep. I have so many appts, from OB appts to prenatal classes/parenting classes, getting ready for the baby, working every night-it goes on and on.

Hi TTC ladies!!

Well, I am a victim of letting TTC get me down, hopefully just for today though

I’ve been off birth control for nearly 2 years now… This is my first month to be super serious about TTC and taking the medication in order for it to happen.. I was on Provera, Clomid, Metformin, HCG trigger shot, and prenatal vitamins.. I went to the doctor last week and she said I had a nice size follicle and it looked like I would ovulate on Sunday.. So I took my trigger shot on Saturday afternoon and my hubby and I baby danced on Sunday around 1pm..

Well, I wanted to continue to baby dance throughout the week (Mon, Tues) but my hubby was having, what you call, “stage fright” and couldn’t “perform”… I guess its just the anxiety of TTC for the guy and everything that goes with it.

Ok ladies I have PCOS and we have been trying for a year now with no luck. But I always eats and take prenatal vitamins just to be on the safe side, but how ever because of my mom dieing unexpectedly (she was only 49) it has taken a huge effect on me and my health I have been having really bad anxiety attacks cant sleep and just crying all the time, so my doctor gave me some xanax for the weekend..this just happen two days ago. But if I was to have conceive this month it would have been 3 or 4 days ago….I really need the meds I think to get me threw this weekend but what if this was our month that the blessing happen will it hurt my baby? What should I do? Take it or not? Please anyone that can help me I’m so lost without her and confused

Ok, I have a few questions, I have already talked to my OB and to the Labor RN and am getting really confused. I get these attacks that cause me to get really dizzy, see cloudy, get disoriented, sweaty and really shaky. Most times I can get my feet in the air before I pass out but I have passed out 3 times already. They are not sure what these attacks are. My Blood pressure is great, my iron and all blood work is great. I had my 1 hour glucose test done and never heard anything so I’m guessing they are alright. But I do take my Blood sugar and sometimes when I feel this way it’s 112 and other times is 58. So I’m guessing sometimes it’s my blood sugar. So they told me to eat up to 8 times a day. Well it’s not working. I ate a nutrigrain bar, 2 eggs and turkey sausage for breakfast and my Blood sugar was 60 an hour later. I’m starting to worry about this because I’m afraid to go anywhere ’cause I’m afraid I will pass out. I have a history of Panic and Anxiety so I don’t know if that’s what’s happening too. This all started at 20-21 weeks pregnant. I’m on no meds except prenatal vitamin. Can anyone help me out, and if this is normal than what the heck am I suppose to eat? Fruit and Juice all cause my blood sugar level to drop within an hour. Can hypoglycemia show up only from pregnancy? What’s the difference between Panic attacks and Hypoglycemia? Any help is appreciated. If this is hypoglycemia then how come after I eat something it takes like an hour to feel normal again? The Drs are all stumped. Thanks, God Bless

Before you put your reason read these marijuana myths and facts most people don’t know

Myth:
Marijuana Can Cause Permanent Mental Illness.

*Fact:
There is no convincing scientific evidence that marijuana causes psychological damage or mental illness in either teenagers or adults. Some marijuana users experience psychological distress following marijuana ingestion, which may include feelings of panic, anxiety, and paranoia. Such experiences can be frightening, but the effects are temporary. With very large doses, marijuana can cause temporary toxic psychosis. This occurs rarely, and almost always when marijuana is eaten rather than smoked. Marijuana does not cause profound changes in people’s behavior.

Myth:
Marijuana is Highly Addictive.

I have to find four songs for psychology that are about development…they cant be all about one topic either:

Here are some examples of development themes:

-prenatal development (zygotes, and fertilizationa and stuff)
-infancy
-the stages of development (like piaget and eriksons stages)
-imprinting
-attatchment
-stranger anxiety
-PARENTING (I really want one on this)
-the styles of parenting are : “because i said so,” “Do whatever you want,” and “I said do this because of this reason.”
-self concept: i sense of ones identity
-adolescence: like about peer pressure and getting away from your parents
-physical development: puberty and such
-social development:
-Biological clock
-Alzheimers
-Autism

I went to my first prenatal exam last wednesday 7/9. I was told I have an ovarian cyst and a fibroid tumor in mty uterus. According to my LMP I was 9 weeks 1 d, but according to the sono, I was only 5w 5d with no apparent heartbeat yet. I am suppose to go back this wednesday 7/16 for another sono to check for growth. Is it normal to have slight cramping…more annoying than painful (kinda like a tingling sensation like a bladder infection) and brown spotting. Is this due to fear and anxiety because everything was going just fine until I started to worry when they said the LMP and sono are three weeks apart and this could be problematic. This is my first pregnancy so I am not sure if this is normal. I have to go back in two days so I don’t want to call because it is not red blood and it is not gushing so there is really nothing they can do. Someone please give me some reassurance or some answers.
