I have been trying to get pregnant for about 8 months. My husband and I have no succeeded. I am wondering if anyone has any tips or if any one may know some natural remedies to boost fertility. Thanks for all answers.




I have cramps, a little upset stomach and my breasts are very tender. I am due to get my period in the next week or so but I have been so irregular lately it’s hard to tell exactly when I’ll get it. We had intercourse about four weeks ago. Just trying to figure out if we’re pregnant or if it’s just menstrual symptoms.

Thanks!




What causes menstrual pains especially if it affects one to be sick for 2 day even if one take midol. What is the best medicine to cure or make one relief of this pain




I drink a lot of water and right now am unemployed so I don’t wash my hands as frequently as when I worked, but my fingers peel and I have to cut the excess skin with fingernail clippers. I put lotion on them but the lotion doesn’t seem to be helping. I was told to use white cotton gloves with lotion, but what lotion would be the best. I have tried Cu-rel Menopause, Jergens, Gold Bond. They don’t seem to be helping. Its not all the time. I go for months without it happening then it comes back. I want something so it stays away. What is the best product, that can be bought over the counter?




I’m trying to get prego but I don’t want to go out and buy a 100$ bottle of fertility pills. I’d rather go to a natural store and purchase the main fertility increasing element. Does anyone know what it is?




Does anyone know if this is a possiblilty where these menstrual blood clots can travel to the heart or other organs? I’m a little concerned because of large blood-clotting during my period recently.
Arlene, I think its a very legitimate question, but thanks for your opinion.




Any tips on how to reduce menstrual cramps?

I’m fourteen years old and I got my first period about two years ago.
Every time it’s that time of month, I get extremely terrible cramps (usually they are more painful the second day).
Are there any ways to reduce menstrual cramps without taking any pills or medication?
What foods or drinks are best to eat/drink during my time of month?
Is it better to drink cold or hot drinks?

Thanks for the help!




about treatment of breast cancer?

my very close friend has recently been diagonised a cyst of size 1.5cm in her left breast and swelling of lymph node in her left underarm. her breast nipple has been painfull from the past six months. the doctor suggested mamography and a biopsy. she is 43 years, 5 feet 4inch and 72 kgs. the doc hasnt told anything specific. she is in her menopause period.she has a high ESR about 80 she is getting nightmares about it. is the swelling of lymph nodes just because she has high ESR or can it be because of her weight or is it really a cancerous cell. she doesnt have a history of breast cancer in her family but her sister-in-law was recently diagonised with throat cancer…

Pregnancy Gynecological exams?

When I went to my first prenatal visit, I had a vaginal exam. Because I had a pap smear about 4 months prior, which came out normal, my OB said she wasn’t going to give me another one, but would only take a culture.
What is the difference between doing a pap smear and taking a culture? What does the culture test for? What does the pap test for?




I am curious, if having a yeast infection will make sexual intercourse (or any sexual activity) painful or very uncomfortable ‘down there’?

Thanks..
Is there anything I can take to treat a yeast infection? Besides those nasty Vagasil pills you insert.
I am on anti-biotics for a bladder infection, and they always cause me to get a yeast infection.
Anything I can buy at the store to easily treat this?
