If you are in maternity live...PLEASE READ!

call your humane resources if you work or your medicaid office or just your health insurance within 1 MONTH to enroll your baby in the health insurance program.

By the federal law    ( which is stupid) if you dont  do this, your child will be uncovered until the next health benefits enrollment in your job or so.

It just happened to me... i missed the  30 days and now my baby is out of health insurance and i have to pay $190 out of my pocket per month to have my newborn cover by Blue cross blue shield...PLEASE ADVISED ALL YOUR  FRIENDS ABOUT THIS SITUATION...

Hi, I'm new to the site. I started reading through a bunch of posts here to try to get to know you all, then I saw how long it was, and it would have taken quite awhile, lol. I did notice a couple of you having irregular cycles and not ovulating, these can be signs of PCOS, which I have. It's a syndrome so no 2 cases are the same. You don't even have to have cysts to have it! For some it can make it very hard to lose weight, other possible symptoms are chin hair, no AF etc. It basically screws with your hormones. 10-15% of women have it, and it varies in severity. Some of you may want to google this to see if any of it sounds familiar. Remember you don't need any particular symptom to have it. It's very manageable, but if you don't know you may be spinning your wheels. Someone also asked about safe ways to combat constipation, and I take wheatgrass each morning. I suffer chronic constipation and haven't had to use a laxitive since! Best of all it's safe during pregnancy. Sorry this post is quite long. LOL. I'm currently 10 dpo and going a bit nuts in the 2WW. I'm on Metformin, wheatgrass, fertibella, baby aspirin, organic prenatals, Maca root, and prayers. Hope I can join your group. I'm not doing IVF or other assisted things yet, but think it may be in my future, is this for anyone TTC?

I so sorry to hear about  your loss.really i do not experience with premature ovulation.But my family were plain to do IVF. thanks for sharing.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I personally do not have any experience with premature ovulation. It doesn't seem to be very common. How big were you follicles when they ovulated, and after how many days of stimming?
