if the sonogram was not wrong, for the future you may want to get your hormone levels checked. sm

In Reply to: Anyone have 2 miscarriages? sm - Inquiring mind

a lot of times when women have multiple miscarriages at the stages you are it is because their hormones are off, in particularly low progesterone. if this is the case, in the future it can be corrected by taking progesterone at earliest sign of conception until about 11-12 weeks. so ask questions as to what your estrogen/progesterone levels were on your lab results today. have you carried any children yet to term? wish you the best of luck and pray for a good outcome......

Time to get the thyroid and hormone levels checked AND
s
This is just wrong on so many levels.

I just don't feel sorry for people who get involved in stupid situations like that.  I'm not even going to comment further on the stupidity of this.


You could have hormone imbalance.
If hormone imbalance is not culprit, explore the psychological aspect.
I have had a hormone-free IUD for 4 years, and I

I have had 2 kids, and I haven't had one pregnancy scare since having it.  My periods are probably a bit more painful since having it, but they have always been bad, and to me it is worth it for the piece of mind.  I don't know much about the Mirena IUC, but it looks very similar to an IUD, so I'm assuming they work in about the same way (except I think Mirena releases hormones). 


I have never taken hormone replacement therapy like you
because I knew from years ago, before the gov study that hormones were being linked with breast cancer, among other things. My elderly aunts (in their 80s) also refused to take hormones, one being a nurse. My mother took hormones and she died from uterine cancer. A previous physician told me I should take them (this was not OB-GYN and I just felt I had all the information I needed to make a sound decision, that being not taking them.
Femhart, new to this hormone replacement
and am wondering if anyone else is on it and if it works with the menopause symptoms, hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia???
yeah. she checked in and checked out the same day--sm
said it was not for her.
ammonia levels
Does anybody know what causes a person to have high ammonia levels in their blood?  What is the treatment for this?
I feel bad for you on many levels but your kids....

I do feel so bad for you, sounds like a no-win situation, but I also *read* that you let absolutely everything about MIL bother you and i think (opinion only) that you should pick and choose those battles (little battles) more carefully, trying to see the BIG WAR which I think is what you want to try to win.


I think you should develop your own talents, hobbies, expound on yourself (after your children) and find your own *nitch* in life.  Competing (your word used) with a MIL never works.  I was lucky, mine lives in France.  *LOL*


Best of luck, will pray for your situation! 


crime comes from all socioeconomic levels....

white-collar crime has been around for generations...


nothing shocks me anymore.........


illegal. it's disgusting all around on so many levels.
a
Let me clearly state that this is abuse on many levels.
I'm another one who has BTDT...17 years ago, but when I read something like this, it seems like it was last week.

I remember exactly what my state of mind was when I finally was able to realize I had reached the end of my rope. That alone took me 10 years to figure out. I was overwhelmed with what lay beyond the escape I could not imagine being able to engineer. The fear was paralyzing. It would have been nice to have help and support, but I was so ashamed that I could not seek it or accept it. I ended up learning how to take my anger and turn it inside out. I transformed it into self-empowerment.

I am sure there are plenty of people who would like to help. You just may not know who they are or how to find them, but they're out there. Everybody's situation is different. It would be helpful to know where you live (town or city and state). I would be more than happy to help you gather some information, but need to know the geography.

Also, what kind of support system do you have beyond your household? How many kids? What about friends and family? Any possibility of staying with them, or would you feel safer being in a location your husband does not know about? If you are an MT, your job is portable....a huge help in this circumstance.

Share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with and see what we can help you come up with. This kind of thing probably has a better outcome if you have a plan (especially in view of your children and their schooling), but even without one, it can be done.

Let me be the first to assure you, life is really sweet once you get yourself and your kids to the other side.
Prior progesterone levels were perfect...sm
so that's part of the "how did this happen?" question. These are the only 2 times I've been pregnant. With the first pregnancy we never had a heartbeat registered on sonogram. I'll know more in a couple of hours today what the end results of the labs are.

does your future son-in-law sm

go to church each week.  If not is he getting questioned like your daughter.  I am Catholic and go to church every Sunday.  I know from hearing family members that a  priest will not marry you unless he has proof that you are going to Church each week.  The envelopes are the proof.  The priest does not want to marry you in the church just because your Catholic. So if your son in law does not go to Church he is at fault also.  My DD is getting to another Catholic next year. She became very relaxed about going to Church.  They registered back into the Church once they got engaged and waited six months before contacting the priest. 


Some of what you said seems like it is the priest and not the Catholic religion.  I would contact another Catholic priest and see if he feels the same.  The bad part is if your daughter is probably getting turned off by the Catholic religion before she gets started.  She will have to sign a paper promising she will raise her children Catholic.   My daughter told me that there is separate paper work to fill out if you are living together so most people do lie.  She does not live with her fiance.  Also after they get married in the Catholic Church and then stop going most priests will not baptize the children just for the sake of it if the parents are not going to take the children to church.  All this is really a shame because the Catholic church is turning a lot of people away.   Good luck and give us any updates. 


Think about future resale
I could only get preapproved for a mortgage on stick built homes.  No modulars, no manufactured, nothing that had "ever been on wheels or classified as such on the tax roles".  I had to pass up many good deals on great properties because my lender was adamant about stick built.  So keep in mind it may be harder to sell when that time comes.
This just in from my future contractor
"You friend is correct, but may be jumping the gun a little bit.

As I said before, I would avoid purchasing a NEW PC with XP. This does not make sense, especially if your current PC is working for you. Extended support for Windows XP systems will continue through 2014 at least and probably longer. So the timeframe for upgrading is quite long…

I would not upgrade a current PC (more than 2 years old) to Vista under any circumstances. With anything less than 2 Gig of RAM, the Vista OS slows to a crawl and many hardware vendors have not upgraded their drivers.

As far as a new machine goes, I would wait until the Vista SP1 (Service Pack 1) has had time to “soak” for a while before making any decision. It’s also MUCH better to change machines than trying to attempt an upgrade later (to Vista SPn for example).

Again, the other thing to consider is that not all vendors are currently ready to support Vista and the “compatibility mode” of Vista has been shown to be problematic.

So to summarize, here’s what I am suggesting to my clients and friends …

1. Let 2008 pass without upgrading.

2. Revisit the stability of Vista and the depth of vendor support in late 2008 to be ready for a planned migration from XP to Vista in 1Q 2009 at the earliest (and possibly later).

3. When considering the upgrade to Vista, plan a complete hardware upgrade as well.

If you would like to talk about this on the phone, feel free to contact me anytime. See this link http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/sp1.mspx for more information about Vista SP1.



Lack of help from future son-in-law

Please tell me if I'm overreacting.  I'm moving 60 miles away from where I'm now living next weekend for a new job at a big hospital in my hometown.  I'm excited but nervous also.  My daughter is getting married in November.  I only have about 3 rooms of furniture and a lot of it is already boxed and in a storage room.  I asked my daughter if "Bruce," her fiance, and his buddies could help move me, as I am single, with no father, brothers or friends who are able-bodied any longer (I'm 50+).  She asked him and grudgingly he said something to the effect that he could, but we would have load the truck the night before and he would have to be finished up before noon the next day, and his friend would help for $200(!).  The last straw was he told my daughter to tell me not to expect to have boxes, furniture placed or set up, because he HAD to get to the "Mud Bog" by 12:00 sharp.


Is this any way to treat a future in-law?  He knows I don't have any family really.  I did get a couple of co-workers and their husband/brother to help, thank goodness, but I'm really worried about the future with this boy--respect for me, priorities, selfishness--thanks in advance.


That is work; he is your future son-in-law

It sounds like you were lucky to get the offer you got and since you have no one you'd have been better off to take him up on it. 


You certainly can't expect people to do things just out of the goodness of their heart when they know you can't stand them.  If you can come on here and post about your future son-in-law's flaws, then I'm sure he knows how you feel. 


What are you trying to prove here?  He said he'd do it, that it would cost $200.00 for the friends to help (do you expect him to carry everything by himself), but that he couldn't place the furniture?  So what's wrong with that? 


For your future and that of your kids
You may not think so, but you've got a lot of things going for you, the most important being that you realize you need to do something.
Short term: You've gotten great advice about making small changes, like exercising, losing weight, etc. Go for it.
Long term: You're worried about bills, housing, and your children's reactions to changes in their lives, and those concerns are certainly valid. But there is something more important at stake: You do not want your unhappy marriage to be the template for your children's future relationships in adult life. They deserve better than that, and so do you. See a lawyer and plan your exit strategy. It may take time, but *commit* to change. Have you ever heard the saying, "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step?" Take that step and you will be surprised what you can do.
Might be exciting now, but future will be grim. SM
I would suggest adding some excitement to your marriage. Try to find the guy your husband was, that turned you on to him. That is where your attention should be.

You cannot go back again and you are not an 8th grader, but are acting like one.
Hmm, maybe modeling in her future? Hope
xx
You probably saved someone's life in the future.
A couple months ago there was a terrible head-on train crash near Los Angeles, and the cause of it was the engineer of the passenger train blew through a red light because he was texting some teenagers. It's a shame he was killed, because he should have lived to see the carnage he caused.
Yay, my future son-in-law is such a peach. HE didn't forget about me! nm

Agree. Teachers of future generations should be better

Went to HS with future Mrs. Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson

thank you so much for the quick response. Would this pose a problem for me in the future?? nm

Past, present, future. Still expecting miracle.

Guess he can take out a loan for future schooling! Son found a phone
s
You ead my response wrong, terribly wrong
I am trying to ask what does she think it will help, not being nasty- tell me and I will try this. I would stand on my head and gargle peanut butter if I thought it would help - I wanted to know why a letter? They are thumbing their noses at the courts - commanded to appear- I was there and they werent.
Go get yourself checked out!

I'm only 34 and I had the darned same symptoms...everything hurt--fingers, arms, hands, jaw, neck, back, butt, even my hair, I swear!   I have a very high pain threshold too, but the constant aching and inability to get out of bed without feeling like I was just run over by a steam roller was just too much to take.  I think I let it go for about 2 years before calling for an appointment, thinking I could just work around the pain.


The thing that finally sent me to the doc's was that even exercising and walking didn't help with the pain, and it got to a point where it hurt too much to even do that.


Turns out I could have some form of connective tissue disorder, kinda like lupus but not.  My nurse gave me a prescription for simple naproxen and wow, what a difference.  I took it twice daily for the first week and I only need to take it every now and again.  I've totally kicked myself in the butt for not doing something about it sooner, but well, you know how that goes.


So, go get yourself checked out for pity's sake


 


you could also get her checked --sm
for feline diabetes, as not using the litter box is also a sign of this, along with recurrent uti's and eventually kidney failure. My vet says that feline diabetes has increased significantly over the past few years.
He obviously needs to get this checked out - sm
by the doctor, it may be time that he does need the help of some medication. Get him to his doctor pronto before it gets any worse.
Have you ever checked out
different lipstick brands and get disgusted when it takes 7 turns to get the lipstick out where you can use it? That's what I've noticed about some of the more expensive brands. If they turned quicker like Revlon I might have bought them. :o} (I don't remember if Estee Lauder is one of those).

Not sure if I'm lazy or just a stickler for efficiency. Ha!
Eww, I would have that checked
by a doctor to be on the safe side. Especially considering the bumps you said you can see on his eyeball.. that can't be good.
I checked this out and I think it looks
fascinating. My daughter was a bit grossed out. My son hasn't seen the video yet but he wants to go into medicine and I know when he see the video he will love it. My daughter and I are going to see Legally Blond the musical while hubby and son are going to see Blue Man Group (all 4 of us will see The Lion King). Maybe just a little mother/son bonding time at Bodies will be just the thing.
Get it checked.
My husband broke his at 18. When he was 30, he had to get angioplasty because he had 2 stenoses of subclavian. They are not sure if it was related to this injury or not. Still has weak/to absent pulse at left wrist.
Just checked it out !! So much fun...nm
x
Of course, this is after you have her checked out by your vet - nm
:-)
I would get it checked out.
Even without more symptoms I would urge him to get in to his regular doctor to get looked at. I have heard of people being nauseated, sweaty, short of breath with the pain of a heart attack but I also think it can be an individual thing and different with everyone.
I don't know but I would have him get it checked nm
x
You'd better get checked out.
I guess I've transcribed way too many neurology reports, but if I were you I'd get it checked out with possible an MRI of the brain.  Seriously, it's better to be safe than sorry.
Get it checked
To help you not worry. I had a lump once in the groin and it was because of a urinary tract infection. Although it sounds like yours is related to the bug bite. Better safe than sorry, I would just have the doc look at it.
Have you checked into how big she will get and
how long she will live? That seems like potentially quite an investment! lol
Checked them out, could not find
the higher price which I had to use, only the lower priced gas and then not at the Atlanta station I use which is south out of the city proper.
Just checked again and the post she
made on this very tired subjectg was, indeed today. She just responded to a comment made by my friend two days ago. I was sure of what I was saying, or I would have never said anymore about it.
I would get it checked since it is suddenly different and sm)
in just one eye. I have them too but I would get it checked if it was like yours. Just to be safe. Sorry for any typos - no contacts in yet this morning
Checked on divorcenet.com

Thanks to all who replied.  I stumbled on above website and it said no coverage for ex-spouses.  I really think this is some type of delaying tactic on his part--"have to wait for open season, etc," or get her to agree to take less child support even.  He changed jobs and had to submit the withholding order.  After 2 months, my daughter called and found out they did not have the paperwork for withholding.  She immediately sent the order.  He declared he had taken care of that.  He knew the child support was not coming out and he's still responsible for it.  Just don't trust him at all--


Good point about being independent.  Just so hard to do it all on her own.  Also had not thought about his having access to her health info.  Thanks again.


Get your thyroid checked.

Have you had thyroid checked?
It could be from a variety of things, but you might want to have your thyroid hormone levels checked.

Check out this website before you do, because many doctors aren't up on it they way they should be:

I might go get it checked, just in case (sm)
