induced termination of pregnancy - nm

Ha! I thought it was intentional and you were being witty. n/m

at the risk of sounding dumb, what is an ITOP? nm

Work for MQ. No, no and termination.
Anyone could have a bad month and get a bad QA review, but consistently failing them means you shouldn't be doing medical transcription.


Depends on the circumstances of the termination.

If I were merely laid off due to low work or the company losing an account, I maybe would reapply, but then you have to consider that it may happen again. 


If I were fired due some stupid reason like "downsizing" or offshoring or a QA issue, then I would not reapply.


Of course, I'm a prideful person by nature, so in any instance I may not reapply.


pregnancy
I spotted the entire 24 weeks until my youngest son was born. He had all of the things that come with prematurity, but is now a healthy 11-yr-old. I had a prior C-section and severe endometriosis though. In my case, they called it incompetent cervix. Is this your first pregnancy? If I were you, I'd take the others' advice and try to relax (off your feet) for a couple of days. I hope all turns out well for you.
This is my 2nd pregnancy...sm

My son is about 3-1/2 years old now.  PERFECT pregnancy..No complications, no spotting.  Everything was perfect.  That is why I am so scared this time.  I know all pregnancy are not alike.  Please pray that everything works out fine.  I really, really do appreciate all of the good thoughts and comments. 


I will keep you updated on the progress Tuesday. 


Pregnancy
Not much advise, just possible congrats if you are pregnant. Those tests were always accurate with me and it seems like it may be saying you are. Maybe wait another day and try another test. Again, sorry I'm not much help. Sending good vibes your way.
Pregnancy
From my experience, with my own pregnancies & patient's pregnancies....the little faint line you are seeing is an indication of a positive pregnancy. The reason for it being so faint is most commonly because you are very newly pregnant (in a stage that most women never even know that they are pregnant yet). The line is faint because it is reflecting the HCG levels in your urine and it has found alittle bit, but not a lot. Thus a faint line appears. In a week or so, expect a much darker line. My guess is that you are probably pregnant and I would just retest in a few days to make sure. Also, keep in mind that not all women are able to get reliable results with the at home tests. Several patients in the past have received negative readings on their at home tests and came into the doctor's office for a serum pregnancy test to find out for sure...Many were pregnant! The HCG hormone doesn't always show up for all women when they use at home tests. Best of luck to you and your family!
One way I knew with my last pregnancy...
My breasts were VERY tender...even before I realized my period was late. I stopped at the store on my way home that very night, did the test as soon as I got home, and voila...baby #3 on the way...any symptoms of pregnancy besides being late on your period? That's a good indication of yes or no...good luck!
Illness/pregnancy
These are supposed to be treated the same - 12 weeks leave - my mother-in-law got sick last year and when she could not go back to work by the date that the hospital specified (she's a nurse) they terminated her from her job - and she had worked at this place for 20 years. I would seek legal advice on this subject before telling anyone at work.
Seafood and Pregnancy
No, they shouldn't because of the risk of food poisoning and/or mercury content.
same with tuna and pregnancy......nm

Try Fact Plus pregnancy test
My OB-GYN used to use these in her office.  She said they were the most accurate.
I only used a hand pump for last pregnancy sm
But I WAH and never really left my son. I used an Avent Isis - a really great hand pump.

Now, for working moms, they recommend a dual electric pump - if you are nosy and want to check them out, 2 of them are called Medela Pump In Style and Ameda Purely yours. The electric ones are supposed to (hopefully) get more milk faster, as both sides can let down at the same time. In addition, it cuts down pumping time doing both at once.

I am pregnant again right now and don't plan on going electric if I can help it :) I'd much rather feed right from the tap!

I had similar problem with my first pregnancy.

I had more bleeding than you, but no cramping or any other issues.  It was in my first trimester.  I can't remember how far along I was, but it was fairly early.  Anyway the first thing my OB/GYN asked me was had I had *ex and I had a few hours earlier.   She wasn't the least concerned, but of course I was scared to death.  She told me not to have any "activity" for a while and I was a cough potato the next day or two just to be safe, but my son is 15 now and I had no similar problems throughout the rest of the pregnancy although I was having "relations."    I think she said a hormone in the *perm could cause the bleeding.  


Think positive and take it easy.  Let us know how it goes. 


 


Positive serum pregnancy
Yes, it happened to me spotting on tissue only for 2 days, son is now almost 20. Doctor first said she did not know if it was a viable pregnancy, told me to go home and take it easy for a week, I did just what she said. Bleeding stopped by the next day. Good luck to you.
I spotted from week 10 through 17 of my second pregnancy. (sm)
My daughter is now almost 10. I'm sure everything will be fine. I will be praying for you.
Positive pregnancy test
Indeed I've had that experience with two months of bleeding/spotting with a positive pregnancy test, the result of which was a lovely 11 lb 9 1/2 oz, 26-inch long baby boy born by natural delivery with a smile on his beautiful face. The lovely boy is now 6'4" inches tall and the love of my life. My prayers go with you for a successful outcome.
YES, if the pregnancy or delivery was complicated...nm

Has anyone ever had a positive serum pregnancy test and...sm
then started bleeding or spotting without any pain?  I had 2 positive urine tests and then started spotting or having a period but not as heavy (only sign of blood was on tissue).  I have been doing this for 2 days, so I went to the ER today.  Serum test was 154...I have to go back in 2 days in which time they say it should double if everything is okay.  Has anyone had experience like this and came out okay? 
Yes, I had a period, no joke, for 5 months of pregnancy.
Doc didn't understand, baby was healthy, born on time, no complications.
Well I DID have bleeding with my ectopic pregnancy in August, so it is possible.
An early ultrasound at the hospital was incorrectly read at the hospital as intrauterine, but when my OB/GYN did another ultrasound, it was ectopic.
That I can understand. A planned pregnancy is a much different issue
nm
Is the patient pregnant? ITP is usally intrauterine pregnancy in OB.

Has anyone ever been late for their period but got a negative pregnancy test
my boobs hurt, my stomach is swollen, I throw up all the time, anyone else ever thought they were pregnant and had this happen?  I'm 4 days late and the test said no... So I would think that the test would be correct.. I have never in my life have had sore breasts I feel like I'm nuts ...
Yes. I was pregnant anyways. The home pregnancy test was wrong.
Then the doctor told me to have a D&C because he couldn't find the heartbeat on ultrasound, so he told me it was a miscarriage. Actually, my ovulation was off. I refused to have the D&C and my son was born 7.5 months later.

Are you trying to get pregnant? Are you using birth control? Sometimes you can feel pregnant or even have a blighted ovum or early miscarriage that won't register with any pregnancy hormone. I had one at 10 weeks. Swollen boobs and water retention can be caused by hormones or stress. I would suggest to just relax and see what happens in the next week, then try another PG test.
i stopped reading at the unwed pregnancy part
statistics have shown that teen pregnancy has gone down in the past 30 years. Most unwed pregnancies these days are by choice by grown women. In 1996 I was 25, wanted a child and was not married, so I made the decision to have a child on my own. Is that a bad thing? Now, I own my own home, my daughter wants for nothing and is a straight A student, and I am by no means rich or come from money. I work hard and have instilled good values in my daughter. I don't see that as any part of some explosion of bad behavior....sorry but I have to disagree with you. If you are offended by what you saw/heard/smelled that is fine but to judge these people as "bad", well that's for a higher power to decide, don't you think?
She had an ectopic pregnancy. They were showing everything that happened in the past. Next week it

I am only 40---starting to early....I found that pregnancy kills brain cells - nm

That should read "are pregnancy women..." And I'll be over around 6 for dinner. I love Lob

For Pete's sake, you're not terminating a pregnancy, you're just typing a report after the
It's already been done before you even hear about it, and NOTHING changes regardless of whether you or someone else types it. Sheesh.
