I have never seen a male team described by how many dads there are, and what the sexual preferences were of the rest. 

I think you’d be hard pressed to find Courtney Love has many friends. 

Wow, strange and angry take.

The IVF clinic was probably obligated to inform the true bio parents of each infant about their existence. As you can imagine, there is a lot of complicated dynamics and ethics here, and it’s not as simple as the parents being racist.

This is one of the reasons I don’t support the pill being available over the counter. Clot risk and other contraindications (migraine with aura) should be discussed with a physician, IMO. 

Sounds frustrating. Have you considered going back on a progesterone method?

Combined contraceptives absolutely increase risk of clots. I am surprised a physician wouldn’t acknowledge this. 

I’m sorry you went through this This is a really complicated topic.
Combined hormonal contraceptives definitely can increase changes of pulmonary embolism, but so can pregnancy. It is controversial, but you should be able to use progesterone only types of contraception safely. Here is a good chart that discusses it: ht…

Ugh, I remember when this happened. I lived in Miami then. So grateful he only got shot in the leg. Sad but not surprised by the verdict. 

Hi, thanks for writing about breastfeeding, which is a complicated topic. I am in the biz.

I love Midnight Train to Georgia and Key Largo. I hope you got to stop at Mrs. Mac’s Kitchen while you were there.

No, parous refers to birth. Gravida refers to pregnancy. 

I am a physician who practices obstetrics, and this really doesn’t make a lot of sense. There must be missing information here. I am not sure how to examine someone after they have given birth and determine if it was their first pregnancy, and I am in this business every day.

The people who do that are the same people who swear that they totally feel great in heels, and don’t feel normal in regular shoes, right? And totally prefer G strings for the comfort, just doing it for themselves, right?

Me too, totally don’t get how everyone else is so cold. 

Betsy DeVos not only never went to a public school and never went her children to public schools, she actively despises them and acts to have them defunded.

For all the trolls saying she should be forced into a paternity test, it’s well known in medical circles that “misattributed paternity” is a common secret.

I was just recapping a scene from Shrill at dinner last night!

I often ask my patients “who are ‘they’?”
