First of all, because I know that I’ll get some answers like “Go play with your friends” or “Go to the park/mall/movies/whatever” But I can’t. here is just some extra info that might help weed out the answers I’m NOT looking for. I am 14. I live in a small complex with my two parents who baby me. I am not allowed out of the complex unless it is to go to school. In my complex is a 8 year old who idolizes me, a 3 year old who is spoiled and cries to much, and a 11 year old who doesn’t speak English. No, It is NOT fun to spend all summer with an 8 year old kid and her baby brother, OK? My Mom doesn’t let me have my friends from school over because she claims they ‘distract her’ inside the house, and outside she has to supervise them. and I can’t go to their house because she says she doesn’t know their parents well enough. (I’ve only been their friend for a year.)

Ok. On to the question. My Mom is addicted to WoW. yes. Addicted. her only friend of 10 years has been ignoring her and fighting with her for most of those years. —-I cannot bring them together again, DON’T SUGGEST IT. PLEASE.—- My Dad is a truck driver and goes out of town every summer for the whole summer and when he does, It leaves me alone with my Mom. at first it is great! she works, so I get the whole day to myself to do ANYTHING I want. After first week though, It gets terrible. And It has come to my attention this month, that I most likely have depression from it. My Mom has this guy on WoW who she Is lying to, (saying she is 23, has my name, and the picture she sent him is my sisters) and he calls her Babygurl. I glanced at the computer and the e-mail she was replying to said something like “I’m glad I have your heart. .you’re a great person…etc.” she talks on a voice chat system with him so I cannot even play piano, which I love to do, or even talk to her or else she yells at me. she doesn’t make me supper, and hasn’t been grocery shopping in two months. Thank god my sisters come over every few days and bring me a decent lunch when my Mom is at work. I am VERY tempted to break the discs/hack the account/whatever but I cannot do that. I’m not that kind of person, and even if I was, she would know it was me. I’m the ONLY one who knows her password (Its jumbled letters) she has lightly slapped me for NOT helping her with her game because I was reading, I’m afraid to do anything to her account. how can I get her to spend more time with me? please. I’m desperate.

Could someone also tell me if I might have depression?
These are my symptoms:
~I sleep either 4 hours a night, or 17 hours (approximately) It differs by the day and if my sisters come over.
~I very rarely have food to eat and when I do eat, I eat A LOT. I’m talking nine chicken fingers, and four hotdogs in two hours.
~I have pains in my upper arms and legs. Sometimes something as slight as pulling a blanket over my head is enough to cause pain/make it sore.
~I get mad a lot. I have typed and erased about seven swears in this question because I just get so pissed. And when my family call me lazy cause I won’t clean the house for my mom when she gets home from work, I am so mad I feel like I want to hit them. I’m NOT ******* lazy. I just don’t respect my mom. Why should I ******* clean her house when she won’t even lift a finger to keep me healthy???? And its PAINFUL for me. I get so fatigued so much from it sometimes I just collapse onto the couch and sleep.
~I don’t do the things I like to anymore. I cannot bring myself to right my story, or to even read anymore. And I feel my intelligence is being affected.

Just incase people think I am exaggerating my ‘horrible summer’ this is my schedule. One for near the beginning of the summer, and one near the end.

Please help me. I need advice. And yeah, I guess a bit of this was just venting too. I don’t get to vent that much.

sounds like you may have an imbalance in your serotonin which means you may need to go on an SSRI, best thing to do is make appointment and talk to a psychiatrist or a psychologist.

not getting enough sleep can def have negative impacts on many other areas of life both physical and mental.

Honey, I am going through the same thing. my mom has myspace and goes clubbing. never cleans or cooks. do something crazy. DELETE HER ACCOUNT. i know it is scary. do it. tell your dad. he can talk to her.bring a trusted adult to talk to her. STAND UP TO HER. tell her if she has enough energy to have WoW, she should be woman enough to take care of her kid! bring your friends over, tell her you will break the rules because you learn from her example.and if she
threatens to hit you, tell her you will bring child protective services. that should calm her. tell her if she doesn't grow up, that you will turn her in.

I think you have a lot of pressure.maybe it is Fibromyalgia. look it up on google. I have it because i got if from my depression. get yourself checked. i also feel like hitting my mom and i feel evil, too. but you have depression. you don't deserve this and neither do I. Honey stand
up. I stood up to my molester stepdad and alcoholic dad.

WOW. Im truely sorry to hear about this. Real talk.
Do something to the extreme that will get her attention.
The point to where you may have to go to counseling. and in counseling,
you discover your self.
they put you on medication. and if you take it, it truely helps.
Trust me i would know.
Maybe that would grab the attention of why your "acting" bad is because your missing something.and she is the only thing that can fix it.
Im almost positive if you do something to get to counseling and end up haveing to have group talkings [with your mom and counselor] she may just have the time to pay attention and listen to your heart.and what it been having to say for years. You think? if you really need someone to talk to, just message me. and i would greatly help.

You have a lot of different symptoms. 1) you should probably see a doctor, medical, you are not getting the proper nutrients which can cause a lot of physical problems. You aren't getting exercise either. you are emotionally stressed and yes it would probably help a lot if you could get some kind of counseling. your mother is negligent in providing proper food and well she is just stupid if you ask me. I could understand a mothers fear of something happening to their children when they leave the house but there is a point when they have to start allowing you to make choices and decisions. to allow you to pick your friends and at least have a chance of growing up. I don't know what her problem is but she definitely has some serious issues that she better figure out real soon. Have you or can you talk to your Dad? if you can you had better as soon as possible. if that doesn't work or you don't know how to talk to him then you need to call someone . maybe a crisis center. No child at any age should have to go through what you are going through. get some help. Councilors at school can be good too. You need help. get it!

I'm not sure if i have it but i have been researching it a little, and im not sure if its life threatening or not. or if it is common to have the symptoms once in a while or have them everyday? mine dont seem to occur everyday, it just seems to happen once in a while.

My mom has MS.. there are a couple forms, and you can transgress from one to another. She has the relapse-remitting type, meaning she'll be hit by "attacks" every now and then. She, then recovers from them, either naturally or with medicine. if you got a positive outlook on life, you're good. My mom never gives up (tough-spirited for a 5'4" woman). still, she has slowly been on the decline as she's aged.

As I said, you can move form one form of MS to another, and some are altogether debilitating, even very life threatening. if you have MS for 10 years, then you're most likely going to keep the same form for life.

Please see professional consultation… there are many differing treatment or prevention methods, all with their pros and cons.

This link describes the major forms and how a person can change through them:

Best regards.

MS has a unique feature….it is said that the symptoms are scattered in time and place
meaning it occurs for a while then disappear
then it happen again then they disappear

for place it means you can have a weak left leg
then a weak right arm
then a blurred right eye
then decreased feeling over the left side of face
and so on
different things
different times
can it be fatal? unfortunately the answer is yes if it afffects the nerve supplying the diaphragm which is the main muscle of breathing or the pharynx muscles preventing food from entering the air passage
the attacks tend to be more in the spring,after stress,pregnancy and after surgical operations

there is some kind of new drug called interferon that can make the attacks more rare and a personal friend of mine used it and she is free of symptoms for the last 2 years

Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that affects your central nervous system, which is your brain and your spinal cord. it is believed to be an autoimmune disease in which the body attacks itself. yes it can kill you if you don't treat it. you should see the doctor if you have numbness or tingling for days or weeks and if it spreads to other parts of your body. you should get plenty of rest and exercise and eat healthy for your immune system.

Perimenopause is an unavoidable event that influences center aged women. In this article we’ll be making a look at what perimenopause is, as well as the prevalent symptoms that happen as obtaining a end result of perimenopause.

The initial thing we ought to accomplish is solution the question, what is perimenopause? Well it is a process that will be known as pre-menopause. as the latter title suggests it is a process that precedes menopause. Perimenopause starts anywhere involving two to 10 years ahead of the woman’s menstrual cycle appear to an end.

The perimenopause phase lasts for an common of about half-dozen years, but in some instances it could likely last for 10 years. Women launch to visit through menopause when pre-menopause occurs to an end.

Perimenopause is prevalent in center aged women, despite the truth that some women get it even earlier, one example is on the age group of 35. as perimenopause occurs to an accomplish the oestrogen amounts in a woman’s body starts to drop rapidly. Many women worry about perimenopause and menopause, nonetheless it shouldn’t be this way, premenonpause is a standard process, and as long as you protect yourself clued up about it, it shouldn’t grant you too a good deal trouble.

A female typically realizes she is certainly going through perimenopause by its symptoms. you can get rather a few symptoms that could likely happen as obtaining a end result of the process, some of these are outlined below.

Hot flashes, chilly flashes, night sweats, weakened finger nails, tinnitus, anxiety, apprehension, confusion, disorientation, problems concentrating, sleep problems, thinning hair, or frizzy hair loss, elevated cosmetic hair, decline of balance, dizziness, feelings swings, brightness headedness, nausea, indigestion, flatulence, loss tongue, bad taste in mouth, loss feeling on the roof of mouth, gastrointestinal distress, change in breath odor, itchy skin, crawly feeling on skin, gum problems, aches and pains in muscle and joints, tingling extremities, and head aches, among other symptoms.

As you can see these symptoms can lead to awesome discomfort, however they don’t all appear on a similar time. the degree to which a female is affected by these symptoms also is dependent on the individual, some women tend to suffer from many whilst some luckier women suffer from rather few.These symptoms are considered to be brought on by the unstable amounts estrogens which were a characteristic of the process.

If you are getting through perimenopause it is strongly proposed that you look at out your physician, that way you’ll get a appropriate diagnosis. what is more your medical professional could include the potential to recommend the best kind of therapy for the symptoms. Many women will teach you that going through perimenopause is a hard period of time of their life, to create factors even worse the symptoms of the process can lead to other problems, one example is night sweats can lead to sleeplessness which in turn can weaken your immune system, as you’ll not include the potential to get enough chill out to protect it running at it’s optimum. this can be a key rationale why you should see your medical professional as soon as you have the chance.

This article included perimenopause symptoms and the rationale why they occur.

Some widespread gallbladder troubles include:

* Gall stones (cholelithiasis). this is the brand of the problem when tiny stones, as well as sometimes larger ones, produce inside the gall bladder. Gallstones could potentially cause pain generally known as biliary colic (discover below), yet about 90 percent of people together with gallstones may have no signs and symptoms. Most characteristic gallstones are already present for a number of years. for not known reasons, when you have gallstones for more than 10 years, they are less likely for you to cause signs or symptoms. * Biliary colic. here is the term usually used for the severe episodes of pain which can be caused by gallstone blockage of the cystic duct. The actual gallbladder contracts vigorously contrary to the blockage, producing spasmodic (or sometimes constant) significant pain. Biliary intestinal colic episodes typically last only an hour or two. They may recur rarely, often years apart. * Swollen gallbladder (cholecystitis). Irritation of the gallbladder can be due to gallstones, abnormal alcohol employ, infections, as well as tumors that create bile buildup. Nevertheless the most common cause of cholecystitis is gall stones. The body can react to the particular gallstone irritation by causing the gallbladder walls to get swollen or painful. The installments of inflammation can last for several hours, or even a few days. Fever is not unusual. about 20 percent of the time, your sluggish, irritated gallbladder can be invaded through intestinal bacteria, and will become infected. Occasionally, the gallbladder actually ruptures, which is a surgical emergency. thought episodes of cholecystitis always require medical assistance, particularly if a fever is present. * Dysfunctional gallbladder or chronic gallbladder illness. here, the gallbladder may become rigid as well as scarred coming from gallstones and repeated episodes of inflammation. Signs or symptoms are more continual, but tend to be vague, which includes abdominal bloatedness, indigestion, and increased petrol. Chronic diarrhea is a common indication, usually developing after foods, and up to 10 times per day.

Symptoms of Gallbladder Problems

Particular symptoms can vary based on which gallbladder condition you have, although some symptoms are routine among the several types of gallbladder troubles. but most gall bladder symptoms commence with pain within the upper belly area, in a choice of the upper appropriate or middle.

Below are widespread symptoms of gall bladder conditions:

* Significant abdominal pain * Pain which could extend within the right neck blade or the back * Discomfort that gets worse after eating meals, particularly greasy or slimy foods * Pain that feels dull, sharp, or crampy * Ache that increases when you breathe in deeply * Chest pain * Acid reflux, indigestion, as well as excessive gasoline * A feeling of bloatedness in the abdomen * Sickness, nausea, temperature * Shaking along with chills * Tenderness within the abdomen, specially the right top quadrant * Jaundice (yellowing of the skin as well as eyes) * Bar stools of an abnormal color (often lighter, just like clay)

IF you are worried about your gallbladder please consult your doctor. gall bladder symptoms

As a young girl growing up in Iran, Dr. Minoo Pedoem-Shapiro witnessed the devastating effects of pertussis — also known as “whooping cough” — within her own family.

“I have seen it firsthand,” said Pedoem-Shapiro, now a pediatrician with new Windsor Pediatrics. “My cousin died of pertussis, back in my country.”

“I was maybe 10 years old and he was maybe 2, 3 years old,” she said recently.

• Pertussis is also known as “whooping cough” because of the “whooping” sound that is made when gasping for air after a fit of coughing.

• In the United States in 2009, nearly 17,000 cases of pertussis were reported, but many more went undiagnosed or unreported.

• Since the 1980s, there has been an increase in the number of reported cases of pertussis in the U.S., especially those ages 10-19 and infants under 6 months.

• Reports of pertussis vary from year to year but tend to peak every 3-5 years. this pattern is not completely understood. The last peak in the U.S. was in 2005, when more than 25,000 cases were reported.

• The most effective way to prevent pertussis is through vaccination with DTaP for infants and children, and with Tdap for preteens, teens and adults, as immunity from the childhood vaccine fades over time.

• Vaccinated children and adults can become infected with and transmit pertussis; the disease, however, in older children and adults is likely to be less severe.

• Vaccination of preteens, teens and adults with Tdap is especially important for families with newborns.

• Pertussis is generally treated with antibiotics, which are used to control the symptoms and to prevent infected people from spreading the disease.

• Coughing fits from pertussis infection can last up to 10 weeks or more; hence, pertussis is sometimes referred to as the “100-day cough.”

Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

An ailment that gets its nickname from the distinctive “whooping” sound that some patients make as they gasp for air following a coughing fit, pertussis is a very contagious disease spread person-to-person by coughing and sneezing.

At the time, said Pedoem-Shapiro, vaccinations in her native country were scarce, and childhood mortality from now-preventable diseases was high. Her own brother had died of polio nearly a decade earlier, when she was just an infant.

When her cousin became ill, Pedoem-Shapiro was old enough to see the awful consequences of the disease, which could have been prevented through vaccination.

“In those years we were not so advanced; I’m talking maybe 50 years ago,” Pedoem-Shapiro said. “I saw my cousin with encephalitis. and they told me he had the symptoms of whooping cough. and I remember the coughing. I remember his fever, high fever. Sometimes patients get bronchial pneumonia and then the high fever, and then sometimes they can get the severe encephalitis. That’s what my cousin had. there was no treatment, nothing. there was no antibiotic. he had encephalitis, and he passed.”

Pedoem-Shapiro tells her family’s painful history to illustrate the importance of vaccines as pertussis — a disease once thought to be nearly eradicated — makes a comeback in the United States.

Last year, in California alone, there were more than 8,000 confirmed cases of whooping cough. According to the new York state Department of Health, 265 cases of pertussis were confirmed in new York in 2009, with a preliminary number of 731 cases reported in 2010. last year’s numbers are still being investigated.

“It’s a dangerous illness in infants, mostly in those under 6 months,” said Dr. Paul mark Baker, a pediatrician with Hudson Valley Pediatrics in the Town of Wallkill.

“They have a 1 percent chance of dying. They’re the ones we’re trying to protect.”

Those very young infants are most at risk because they cannot be given even the first dose of the vaccine until they are 2 months old. by 6 months they will have received the third of the five recommended doses, the last coming between ages 4 and 6.

“They’re the most susceptible early on,” said Baker.

There has been a steady increase of reported cases of whooping cough since the 1980s, according to state and federal agencies.

And over the past five years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there have been between 8,000 and 25,000 cases reported each year. Reports of pertussis vary from year to year but tend to peak every 3-5 years. The last peak year was 2005, when 25,000 cases were reported — the highest number since 1959, according to the new York state Department of Health.

There are a number of reasons for the increase, experts say.

Many adults and adolescents who were vaccinated years ago, according to the new York state Department of Health, may have lost their immunity and need booster shots. a new single booster vaccine, Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis), was approved in 2005 to provide immunization for that segment of the population.

And some parents are reluctant — or refuse — to have their children vaccinated out of fear or opposition to vaccines. Some believe, according to the CDC, that vaccine-preventable diseases do not pose serious health risks; others object on religious or philosophical grounds. Others express concern about the safety and efficacy of the vaccine.

“Some families just don’t want to have their children immunized,” said Baker.

In new York state, however, according to the Health Department, pertussis vaccine is mandatory for all children born after Jan. 1, 2005, who will be attending pre-kindergarten programs and school. and Tdap, the booster, is required for all children born after Jan. 1, 1994, and entering the sixth grade.

Immunization, said Baker, begins to wear off after about five years, which is why a booster is given at about age 11. It is also why adolescents and adults should talk to their doctors about getting a booster — or being vaccinated for the first time, if necessary.

“Adults are the reservoir of whooping cough,” said Baker, noting that he has not seen a case lately in his practice. “Adults do not get terribly ill. but the probability is that they’re contagious and they can bring it home to their 2-month-old baby.”

“We are seeing more, especially in adults,” said Pedoem-Shapiro, noting that she has had the booster herself. “The young mothers, they really should have the vaccine.”

Whooping cough progresses in three stages, and can last up to 10 weeks.

The first stage presents like the common cold and lasts for one to two weeks. At this point, the person is the most contagious.

The “paroxysmal” stage is next, characterized by coughing fits followed by the “whooping” sound, and oftentimes, vomiting and exhaustion. this stage can last for 1-6 weeks, according to the CDC — even up to 10 weeks.

“It’s a fairly dramatic cough that comes in spasms,” said Baker.

“It’s very characteristic,” said Pedoem-Shapiro. “They can have fever and severe cough and the cough is so severe they throw up. and they can make a noise like a whooping. and they get cyanotic (skin turns bluish because of lack of oxygen in the blood). and then they get better. and then they cough again, and they have runny nose, they have fever and the cough. The fever can get so high, and one of the complications of pertussis is pneumonia. They can get encephalitis — swelling of the brain.”

Not everyone, however, has the distinctive cough, and most people do not become that ill.

The convalescent stage follows, during which time the cough lessens but may return, and lasts for about 2-3 weeks.

Whooping cough, said both local doctors, often goes undiagnosed and goes away on its own, after weeks of an annoying, lingering cough.

“A person can indeed have pertussis and not know it,” said Baker. “This is especially common in adults, since they may only have a prolonged cough illness.”

Doctors can test for pertussis with a nasal swab and treat the disease with antibiotics. Baker also recommends vaccinations for all family members and caregivers in households with infants.

The vaccine, he said, prevents 98 percent of serious illness from the disease. and side effects of the vaccine, which he has given every day for the past 20 years, are minimal.

“There is usually no reaction at all,” he said, “but sometimes there can be mild fever, irritability or swelling at the shot site. Rarely, there can be high fever or persistent crying.”

Pedoem-Shapiro promotes wellness programs in her practice and encourages families to take somewhat holistic approaches to health and medicine in general. She knows some parents are reluctant to give their children vaccines, and she works with them as gently and compassionately as possible to convince them of the vaccines’ vital roles.

“I am very careful not to push medications,” she said. “But I am very pro-vaccine because I have seen in the firsthand all these diseases. The Americans are very lucky, and they haven’t seen these diseases. I think this is what triggered me to be a pediatrician, actually. I have seen the worst of these diseases.”

balancedhealthtoday.com http balancedhealthtoday.com Symptoms: About 90% of gallstones cause no symptoms. There is a very small (2%) chance of developing pain during the first 10 years after gallstones form. After 10 years, the chance for developing symptoms declines. on average, symptoms take about 8 years to develop. the reason for the decline in symptoms after 10 years is not known, although some doctors suggest that “younger,” smaller stones may be more likely to cause symptoms than larger, older ones. Acalculous gallbladder disease will often cause symptoms similar to those of gallbladder stones. Biliary Pain or Colic the mildest and most common symptom of gallbladder disease is intermittent pain called biliary colic, which occurs either in the mid- or the right portion of the upper abdomen. Symptoms may be fairly nonspecific. A typical attack has several features: • the primary symptom is typically a steady gripping or gnawing pain in the upper right abdomen near the rib cage, which can be severe and can radiate to the upper back. some patients with biliary colic experience the pain behind the breast bone. • Nausea or vomiting may occur. • Changing position, taking over-the-counter pain relievers, and passing gas do not relieve the symptoms. • Biliary colic typically disappears after 1 to several hours. if it persists beyond this point, acute cholecystitis or more serious conditions may be present. balancedhealthtoday.com balancedhealthtoday.com

A recent study published in the new England Journal of Medicine reports that a human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is safe and effective for males. Doctors have recommended the vaccine to females for more than 10 years.

The vaccine is available at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins, said the University helped develop the vaccine from its experimental stages to commercial develoment, serving as a test site in the 1990s.

The study reports on Gardasil, one of the two HPV vaccines currently available. The study tested the application of the vaccine among men and boys against a control group and found that it is effective in preventing infection. The vaccine also proved effective in preventing the devolopment of genital warts, which is the most common symptom of the disease in men. HPV can also cause cancers of the penis, anus, head and kneck in men.

HPV is generally considered to be a greater threat to women, as it causes 12,000 cases of cervical cancer each year. Cervical cancer is particularly dangerous because it typically does not show symptoms until it is already advanced.

About 1% of sexually active men in the U.S. have genital warts at any one time.

Each year in the U.S.:

800 men get HPV-related penile cancer

1100 men get HPV-related anal cancer

5700 men get HPV-related head and neck cancers.

Source: Center for Disease Control

Vaccination of males can be an effective means of preventing the spread of the disease if they have not already been infected. For this reason, some medical professionals recommend that the vaccine be administered to individuals before become sexually active.

The Center for Diseas Control recommends vaccination as one means of preventing infection and spread of the disease, as well as the associated symptoms. Jeff Dimond, a spokesperson for the CDC, said the data in the study was available when the vaccine was licensed for use by the FDA.

“So, this was taken into consideration when we deliberated on the vaccine in 2009,” Dimond said.

The study reported that the vaccine was safe and caused no higher incidence of side effects than did the placebo. Denning said that there is a risk of side effects with any vaccine. possible side effects of any vaccine range from the common soreness and swelling around the injection site to fainting or, in rare cases, the development of Guillan-Barre syndrome, which affects the immune system.

Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Sunday 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Denning said it was the policy at Watkins that patients remain seated for 10-15 minutes after a vaccination in case of a fainting spell.

Watkins administers both Gardasil and Cervarix, a second vaccine that is only administered to females. Gardasil is available to males and females between the ages of nine and 26 and offers protection against four strains of HPV, including those that cause genital warts and the various types of cancer. Cervarix protects against two strains of HPV that cause cancer.

Gardasil is administered in a series of three injections over a period of six months, each of which costs $150. Denning said the cost may or may not be covered by insurance, but students are welcome to call for information or to make an appointment.

I had severe stomach pain 4 days back, till today i have tenderness due to that pain… i am on antibiotics and pain killers…i smoke 4-5 cigrattes a day (from last 10 years) i abdoman is slightly swollen and pain is towards right abdoman…

There is no test for lupus. A diagnosis is made based on medical history, symptoms, a VARIETY of lab tests, and when other disease have been ruled out.

You can read about the symptoms at the link provided. Common symptoms include joint pain and/or inflammation, profound fatigue, chest pain on deep breathing, unexplained fevers, anemia, protein in the urine, recurrent rashes or lesions. not all lupus patients have all symptoms.

My mom passed away on Dec/21st/07… she had been living with Lupus for 11 years. her docter had her on Prednisone that did more harm then good and I do not reccommend this drug to anyone . the side effects are unsurmountable.This effected her kidneys she had to go on dyalysis,her joints and skin , she was to meet with a specialist from the uk this month they test your DNA for a specific gene…….in our case our whole family would be tested to narrow down and take it from there.
My aunt passed away from Lupus 10 years this February, my sister has Lupus, my uncle has Lupus and my cousin has Lupus. This is just devastating

I am 7 dpo and I BD last Friday. I am not sleeping well, had a dream I was pregnant, kinda full all the time, horrible cramping like period was coming. I'm soooooooo nervous though becaus ei've felt this way and wasnt pregnant. Has anyone else felt this way??

i feel he same way im 4 days past ovulation and feel pregnant but same this ive felt this way before and i wasnt …i hate the waiting game…good luck

me, I had like all the symptoms but just didnt happen…that sucks….

You're definitely not alone. I've got nothing but BFN's for the past 10 years! (But I'm sure it won't take you nearly as long as I have PCOS and no medical insurance to help me out). I'm stuck right now wondering if I ovulated or if I'm about to because my chart is weird this month and I'm having cramps and I don't know when to test. I took one today but of course it was negative. Good luck and baby dust:)
