Monday, June 15th, 2009
BlondieJ asked:


I am on my first cycle of Clomid 50mg days 5-9 (on day 9).
My doctor told me to start doing ovulation tests (the strips) on day 12 and also gave me a paper to get the progesterone blood test but he didn’t write which day and I can’t remember which is it, day 21 I’m suppose to do that?
Also any tips for clomid would be great:)!
Symptoms are great so far! i had one weird day on day 2 but i got over it

Do you think our athletes in olympics take some steriods that can’t be detected by a blood test

Julie J asked:


And thats why we keep winning all these medals in olympics and always on the top?! Remember Marion Jones who stripped of all her five medals when she admitted she took drugs during the last two olympics and i’m sure they tested her then and the results were negative! so how can we u be sure that the other American athletes are not doing the same? Maybe they do it too but they are slick and use certain types of steriods that can’t be detected by a blood test?!

I had my 28 week appointment and the midwife did a urine strip test and found glucose in my urine. I had had a cup of sugary tea and sugary cereal for breakfast in the morning. However, she did a blood test too but I won’t get the result for a few days.

What are the chances of having gestational diabetes? Has anyone had this happened to them?

Im currently under viral treatment consisting of ribavivarin and interferon,this has stripped some of the red blood cells out of my system,red blood cell production has gone up( to compensate i assume),but recent a check of iron levels shows elevated ferritin(almost doubled)while iron levels stay normal …is this a result of the body cycling up for increased red blood cell production?

It sounds terrible, having part of your blood stripped from your body and the plain blood put back in.
Also, can you donate if you’re a smoker?

Membrane stripping and blood?

Sunday, June 7th, 2009
Randi asked:


Yesterday I had my membrane stripped, I looked it up and found out exactly what the process was, so no need in explaining that part. After the doctor did this she pulled out her fingers and they were bloody. She showed them to me and said it was normal to have some bleeding after that was done. I was just wondering if it is normal to bleed almost like you were on a very light period for a couple of hours afterward. I’ve stopped bleeding, the blood last night became very dark and stringy. The blood didn’t last too long, I don’t feel ill or anything. I know it wasn’t a muscus plug. The doctor told me it would increase my contractions, so as to “get things going.” This is my first pregnancy, I’m 40 weeks today. So yes I stopped bleeding yesterday, but ever since last night I’ve had a soreness in my lower abdomin. Almost as if I did a bunch of situps. But it’s only in my lower abdomin, I’m walking really funny. And yes, it did increase my b.h.contractions. No, I don’t think I’m in labor.

TTCMarinewifey21 asked:


I had my AF on April 28th and stopped on May 3rd. I wiped and saw 2 “stringy” red blood strips (like string). I know TMI. Is this a sign of ovulation or implantation?

Thanks everyone
