I would like to hear from the woman who have PCOS and have had children im very interested in knowing how it happened. my partner and i are having difficulties and dont know what to do. PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome)

Answer
ok, firstly I am aware I am not a woman :) but my wife has PCOS.

She started taking clomid 50mg (cycle days 3-8) last year, we got pregnant twice and unfortunately lost both (2012 was a rough year).

This year the 50mg wasn't working, upped to 100mg still not working consistently. So they put her on metformin too (500mg twice daily). We went for an ultrasound to look for follicles on cycle day, no mature follicles but some tiny ones. I asked if she could ovulate late and the drs told me it should make her ovulate on day 14. Great, now what do we do? About a week later she gets the egg white mucous (I know tmi) and I said "hey why not, what we got to lose"... we did a pregnancy test negative. So she takes progesterone to restart cycle and gets 'flu' and throwing up a few days later . The regular dr kept asking "are you sure you're not pregnant?" so we did a test POSITIVE ! I guess they were wrong, you can ovulate late.

Today we saw our 19 week baby girl wiggling around on ultrasound.

Sorry for the long story, first they'll try either metformin or clomid, or both but it may take awhile to find the correct dose, find a reproductive endocrinologist not just a OB/GYN and if you do get pregnant do what I did insist on taking progesterone through first trimester, or as worst monitor your levels closely. I beleive that, and we kept taking metformin too, saved our baby this time :) There is a high risk of miscarriage with PCOS, like 40% but progesterone brings it down to the same rate as everyone else, I think 16%.

What and how much should I feed my baby(?) Betta?

Calvin Y.

It's a lot to read but I'd really appreciate good, honest answers.

I got a brand new Betta fish Sunday afternoon, along with a small-ish sized tank (small as in it fits on my computer desk, which isn't too huge. But I'm not sure if it's quite a gallon and I didn't think to check before tossing the box). I'm pretty sure it's a baby, or should be pretty young. I have a couple questions regarding the care of my Betta. ( I know they're easy to take care of but I want to make sure he's happy, healthy and lives long).

1. Winter is coming and so far the only heating he really gets is from his tank being right next to my hooded, flexible desk lamp; which I shine towards him, but not right in his face from 4am to about 2:45pm. Also the heat from the house. I put my fingers in his tank every so often to make sure it's not super cold and so far it feels barely colder than lukewarm. Should I dump the tank and put in warmer water?

2. I work at a CITGO/Subway, and by the end of my shift the little bins that the Subway ingredients are in (the ones right at the counter) have little scraps of bacon, cucumber slices, chicken, etc. left in there. I usually toss them but I've heard Bettas enjoy tasty food. I've recently begun contemplating putting some of the scraps like bacon or cucumber in a ziplock bag in my fridge to feed him in the morning. But I've also heard that once they've tasted something better than pellets, they won't eat them anymore. Also I'm not sure if Subway would be healthy for the fish.

3. Reflecting on 2, how often should I feed him? Sunday, I gave him 3 pellets of Betta food when I got home and Monday I gave him 1 in the morning (6am) and 3 right before work (6pm). Should I cut back? I feel like 3 every other day, like the PetSmart lady said is a little sketchy, and they would want it to be unhealthy and die so I 'have to get a new one'.

4. This will probably factor in all the previous questions: How old should I assume my Betta is? He wasn't the smallest one at the store, he's maybe a bit less than an inch long, without his tail included (from memory, the light is off and I don't want to disturb him by turning it back on)

I know that's a lot to read, but any help would be much appreciated! I love my fish and I want him to live at the very minimum a year, which still isn't long. Thanks for any help!

Here's a couple pictures of the fish up close and the tank next to my 23" monitor, if it will help determine if the tank is OK for now, and maybe his age if you can guess that by size.

Answer
There are many fry food that are easily available and can be found at home. For example, mixing a small piece of egg yolk from a hard boiled egg with water makes an excellent liquid food with plenty of protein good for fry. You can also get a jar of conditioned water and put a leaf of lettuce in it. Leave it out in the sun and when the water turns green, take a few drops of the water and put it in the fry tank. The green water is filled with microscopic critters, or infusoria.

What is your most memorable/unforgettable moment of the year 2012..?

best baby monitor 2012 image

Vinay Kuma

share ur most valuable moment moment that u spent in 2012..
thnx in advance..

Answer
On February 1st, 2012, I was home for work not feeling well. My fiance left for work at 7am. At 10am, I got a call from his sister. He had been in a head on car crash and was air lifted to a hospital an hour and a half away from where I lived. The hospital had gone through his phone to find someone to call, and had first tried "mom" and "dad", but they were on a cruise in the Bahamas and didn't answer. Next they called "grandma" who gave them his sister's number, and she finally he called me. The accident had occurred just 5 miles from our home, and I was only just hearing about it now. I called my mom to give me a ride, as I was crying so much I knew there was no way I could drive. On the way I called the hospital to see if they could give me information. They said they couldn't say anything about his condition, but that I'd better get there fast, and then asked me what religion he was. I was absolutely convinced that he was going to die before I got there. When I finally did get there, he was in a coma with a fractured skull, broken neck, broken pelvis, and lacerated liver. His brain was swelling and they had to put a halo on him and a pressure monitor in his brain. We called our pastor and he came immediately to pray with us. I had never been so scared in my life. They planned a surgery to fuse the broken vertebrae in his neck, but they couldn't do it until his brain stopped swelling, so for now it was just sit and wait. I ended up getting a room at the place across the street from the hospital, and spent a week and a half just waiting, not knowing if he would have brain damage or be paralyzed. When the swelling finally went down and he started to wake up they did surgery which was successful. After surgery they finally removed his breathing tube and I got to talk to him. He couldn't move his right arm, but he could move everything else and he had no brain damage. After months of physical therapy, he regained movement in his right arm and got his halo off just in time for our wedding.

June 9th, 2012 we got married. Our pastor married us, the one who was there the night of his accident. It was very emotional, and I had never been so happy.

On September 19, 2012, I found out that I was pregnant with our first child. Since then we have just been going to doctor appointments, slowly putting the nursery together, and anticipating the birth of our baby in May 2013.

I'd say it was one hell of a year.

why cant i focus at work?

Laura

on july 11 2012 i gave birth to my stillborn son. since then mt boyfriend and i have had lots of problems and its affecting my work. i cant focus, i cant remember anything and i cant concentrate. i feel paranoid, depressed and anxious.. it really sucks i work as a fulltime pharmacy tech so its very important to focus, and i keep making silly mistakes which are leading me into getting fired. what should i do? i seriously need adice

Answer
I had a stillborn in April of 2012. I'm so sorry for your loss. My baby died of a cord accident (so they think) at 41 weeks with no warning in a low-risk pregnancy. First came numbness, feeling a little better and functional, then two months later every joint in my body began hurting, which brought depression and severe anxiety. I know how paralyzing it can be.

First, see a doctor and a therapist. If you're having depression that arises from a situation, there are drugs you can take in the short term to calm you down, though your doctor will monitor your levels to make sure you're not taking more than is wise. Ativan is a drug that was recommended to me, and it calmed me within 10 minutes when a panic attack would arise. It made me sleepier, but it didn't inhibit my ability to function.

The hazy thinking can be from depression. I'm not pushing anti-depressants, and I don't recommend them to just anyone, but if you're not functioning due to what's happened to you, then you're the person for whom these drugs were invented. It helped me a lot. It got me out of crying hysterically all day and feeling like life was pointless-- to realizing that there is still hope, and though it hurts, life moves on. Your doctor might put you on something like Celexa or Zoloft.

But I'm preaching to the choir if you're a pharmacy tech, I guess. All I know is that the drugs have helped. It's been five and a half months since my daughter died, and I'm now slowly tapering off my anti-depressants, and I very rarely need an Ativan anymore. The mental clarity since beginning the anti-depressant was pretty noticeable. It was like a fog lifted after a few weeks. Maybe that will help you on the job?

Best wishes to you. I'm so very sorry.
