a friend of mine was planning on breastfeeding but her new little boy just would not cooperate. Absolutely not. He would take a bottle just fine though. What she went through though, was just terrible feelings ofguilt. She'd done everything right, and still it wasn't happening. It was awful for her, and it didn't…

You know, I'm a tiny little thing. I know that because people say that about me, WHEN I ORDER FOOD! Regardless of what I'm ordering. It's the weirdest thing, and I know it's meant as a compliment.

my boyfriend's two teenage boys live with us half time. They are not expected to do anything by their mom, so by extension I get stuck with a lot of the cleaning ( boyfriend does much if the cooking but holy he'll is he messy about it). They are 15 and 18- the older one is about to go into second year at college. I'm…

I had an interview for medical school a few months ago, and my nipples showed through my otherwise awesome shirt. I don't usually care, but I definitely wore bandaids!

I had the same good fortune. It was definitely as nice as it could have been. I don't think many vets do this but the ones who do should know they are special and so much appreciated

Please, what is a Lilly?

I have a similar question- can it be replaced easily. I've worn the same size clothes for 20 yrs now and I have kept a few pieces I'm sentimentally attached to even though I rarely wea them anymore

Does he know where menstrual blood comes out of?

Me too!

My name is kind of uncommon but very close to several other well-known names. I think I get called my actual name less than 20% of the time. I usually correct people once and then let it be. People aren't usually being malicious.

Kind of related- I spent years thinking there was a name Penelope. Pronounced pen- elope. My brother-in-law thought there was a name called "shlow"- it was Chloe. We're both pretty smart people, but even smart people do dumb things. :)

At first I agree with you, but would you say that about a woman? Is 33 is too old for the crop tops and high-waisted jeans popular right now?

This is funny- I was an egg donor to a couple and she referred to her "baby home", and I never thought it was weird. I mean, we went through so, so much medical stuff together. I know she knows it's a uterus. I had ovaries and follicles, but they told their little boy that I was helping by giving "baby seeds" to help…

I live in the territories. Forget it. I suppose I could freeze berries and some greens but there's no way I could be vegan and eat only locally-grown seasonal food. Caribou and moose has pretty good nutritional value though.

Just ask the guy. The worst he can say is "no". I'm an egg donor, and the first baby born using my eggs is a few days old now. They sent me pictures, and if the baby wants to meet me when she's older she can. Openness and transparency is so important, and really, there are so many people going this route that it…

I also just want to add that most IVF/IUI procedures are heavily thought out and controlled. At the clinics I've worked with, there's mandatory counseling you go through. MANDATORY COUNSELING! As far as thinking about the best interests of the child, that's what the counselor is there for. They ask these questions of…

I'm kind of late to the party here, but anon donation is not really the norm all the time anymore. I'd suggest that in Canada, it's pretty much unheard of (and actually logistically difficult due to the laws). I say this as an egg donor, who just had a child born to one of my couples 3 days ago. They sent me pictures.…

There are men out there, single men, who are looking for egg donor/surrogates and they have a tough time of it. There are also co-parenting "matchmaker" sites to find a person who wnats the same thing you want but not a relationship. pollentree.com is one example. I'm an egg donor and I've been contacted by a few…

I'm an egg donor (2x, about to do it 3rd time). One story that has reall touched me is from a woman who is trying to get pregnant again using donor eggs since her only son passed away from an mtDNA issue. I can't imagine being in that situation. I would gladly give my eggs and mtDNA for her use.

I admit I don't know a whole lot about the crack pipe vending machine situation, but one of the best things about needle echange programs, in my opinion, is that there's a contact with a health care provider. I know that not all people with additions will do this, but the lack of contact with a human being who can…
