I went on the pill to help with the pain etc I had to take antibiotics for 2 weeks for the flu and shortly after I fell pregnant with my second child as the antibiotics broke the pill down. I have also had an implanon and mirina to assist with my pain but it only got worse! Each woman is different...but our characters makes us stronger. Im happy and blessed to have 2 gorgeous kids now ❤ good luck on being a Mumma...so rewarding and fun. ❤ Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-74029557079462946632018-09-17T11:53:56.987-05:002018-09-17T11:53:56.987-05:00It's a proven fact that birth control pills he...It's a proven fact that birth control pills help with gynecological disorders including PCOS. Women also go on the birth control pill when they're taking medication that would birth defects if they did get pregnant. I take a heart medication that would make a pregnancy inviable if I were to conceive (though that would be unlikely due to PCOS). The pill also helps regulate my hormones as I overproduce androgens. <br /> <br />Children are such a blessing and I hope to be a mother some day, hopefully, through adoption as my body doesn't naturally ovulate. Taking the pill doesn't mean that I value children any less, it helps my body function somewhat more normally.

Kelly’s idea to have the engagement take place in Utah was very thoughtful of her daughter. She knows it would be impossible to have the wedding there, so why not the engagement instead? I wouldn’t assume that Kelton had to pay to fly out there with Nathan being a pilot. Either way if Kelton didn’t like the idea, he had the choice to say no. He seemed to really like the idea after he thought about it for a few minutes.

The OP was referring to "baby fever," and that's what "baby fever" is, a natural instinct to want to have a baby. We were not discussing people who don't get baby fever or people who have so many children that they're worn out. <br />Abortion isn't even related to my comment, so I'm not sure why you brought it up. I've also suffered with endometriosis, and rather than take the extremely expensive shot they wanted to give me every month, I turned to supplements and found great relief.

While it doesn't hurt to try natural remedies, studies on homeopathic treatments are inconclusive. I was helped by laser surgery that blasted the adhesions that had effectively bound my reproductive organs, bowel and bladder. Adhesions tend to recur, however. Complete long-term relief for me finally came with menopause. I know many women who chose complete hysterectomy, rather than continue a life of misery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-2568049417655842122018-09-15T23:29:32.702-05:002018-09-15T23:29:32.702-05:00Love this family - but no family is perfect.

If the Bates were not television celebrities I am certain Kelton would have proposed at the Bridge. But that would be like watching a rerun for viewers. I don't notice if you noticed on the episode where Tori and Bobby are moving, Kelly pulls up the AARP website budgeting tool. Kelly clearly was doing this for the network as AARP was a sponsor of that episode. So, in all fairness, what may have seemed like an overbearing mama moment with Kelton, was probably Kelly just going with the network's decision to upgrade the proposal location for viewers. I have noticed that the couch interviews with the little girls have really demonstrated a worldliness that was absent when the older girls did the earliest shows on TLC. Callie especially, as cute as she is, has really been acting a lot older than her years. It kind of spoils the innocence we loved so much at the beginning. I am a public school teacher and she acted and spoke exactly like my female students do. All in all though, this show is much more wholesome than anything else out there for families so I hope they stay on television for many years to come, God willing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-89154990357586807692018-09-15T18:49:35.839-05:002018-09-15T18:49:35.839-05:002:54, There are other options besides birth contro...2:54, There are other options besides birth control pills to prevent yourself from getting pregnant.

Yes, I know that Kelton planned her courtship and he did beautiful job with out direction from Kelly or UPTV. <br /><br />The intro to the Kelton discussion starts with Kelly saying that Kelton wanted to discuss the plans of the engagement that he has. <br /><br />Kelton than teases Gil about the Yellow light did he mean to slow down or move fast. <br />Josie is mention that she set the stage to get married now and not in 2019. <br /><br />Then Kelly discuss the timeline of the events and what they need to do. And then Gil says to Kelton what are you looking to do.<br /><br />Kelton than shares how the bridge means a lot to him and Josie. When Kelton and Gil are discussing the bridge in the next scene Kelly says, she understands that the bridge is important to Kelton. But she has been working on a surprise for Josie and that brings the Utah event. <br /><br />Gil and Kelly discuss that Kelton needs to get a ring. Kelton shows them he already has that and then Kelly says, he could have proposed to her anywhere with that ring. <br /><br />Like I said before, I understand that I would receive flack and I do not need for everyone to agree. But I do understand that for a reality show it looks better to go big for something like this. I just wish that Kelton was able to propose to her in his way and not be influence by Kelly or UPTV. It was clear that he had a plan because that’s what Kelly said as the intro of the scene. Did his plans change after this discussion? Yes, they did. <br /><br />At the end of the day the photos are beautiful and Josie is getting married.

The National Cancer Institute states that while there is evidence to show an increased risk of certain cancers when using oral contraceptives, there is also evidence that shows an actual decrease in certain cancers in those who have used them. Childbirth itself is not without its own risks. Furthermore, birth control pills are prescribed for other medical reasons besides contraception. Endometreosis can be a debilitating condition and taking the bc pill can help provide relief for sufferers. I know this from my own personal experience, as well as my daughter's. BTW 9:10, not everyone has a burning desire or "instinct" to have children at all, let alone face a life of relentless pregnancy. I know my great-grandmother would've been the first in line at her clinic to get the pill. Worn out after having birthed 8 children, she finally made g-grandpa sleep in the barn. LIfe for her was never-ending exhaustion and drudgery.

When Josie and Kelton were talking courtship at Thanksgiving, Gill was hesitating and Kelly jumped in and said yes, before Gil could answer. And now suggesting that Kelton (and his father) incur the expense of flying to Utah to propose. Couldn't Kelton plan the honeymoon to Utah instead? It just seems that these proposals are getting more and more elaborate. In thinking back, IIRC Kelly was really pushing Brandon hard for a proposal to Michael, to the extent she even called him one time to discuss suggest it when Michael was in DC.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13903673821002397907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-238890169176064802018-09-14T23:20:36.336-05:002018-09-14T23:20:36.336-05:007:45 I thought the same thing.
