What an amazing story this one is. I could not imagine a woman carrying 4 babies in her womb and got them out safe and healthy. On top of that, 3 of them are identical. A mother has given birth to a rare set of quadruplets in...

Samanthavv Wowza. That's crazy. Identical triplets is incredibly rare! I would have wondered if she was on fertility drugs but since they were identical, then it's unlikely! That's crazy! They sure must have a house full with four boys! Can you imagine, changing the...

If a guy gets a girl pregnant, should they marry? Some couples say they marry for their child's sake. For the name, family, whatever reason they have... It may be the right thing to do but they're not always the best decisions...

Samanthavv I don't think they should have to get married, even if there is a baby. Unless they feel ready to get married, they love eachother, and are sure that they want to get married, then no one should pressure them into it, and they shouldn't be forced to do it.

Samanthavv Well, I had mixed feelings about it. I loved it, but towards the end I hated it. But now that I'm not pregnant, I really miss being pregnant. It's terrible. I miss it so much. I remember after I had my little girl, I just had these intense crying fits where I...

Samanthavv Honestly, it depends on the individual. I don't think age is really relevant. I know some eighteen and nineteen year olds who are better parents than some twenty-eight and twenty-nine year olds I know. So, age isn't really the issue, only physically.

Samanthavv You can get it undone, but the success rate for pregnancies afterwards isn't that great. Honestly, I wouldn't get them tied in the first place. If you need a more permanent form of birth control, look into an IUD or the implant, or something else. Because...

Lately in the paper there have been ads looking for surrogate mothers to carry babies for other couples. Compensated, of course. It is the other couple's sperm and egg but for whatever reason that couple can not carry a baby to...

Samanthavv I thought about it for a while, but decided against it. There are two types of surrogates, one is called a gestational carrier. She is simply an oven. It's someone elses egg and someone elses sperm. A traditional surrogate uses her own eggs, and the mans...

Samanthavv Clomid is very effective fertility drug, but how long it takes for a woman to get pregnant with it varies from woman to woman. Generally a woman will take 50-150mg of clomid for five days starting anywhere from CD1 to CD5. If all goes well, she ovulates about...

Samanthavv Clomid is not a bad thing. It's definitely a great way to help women who have irregular ovulation or weak eggs to ovulate regularly, and to produce stronger eggs. Just listen to your doctor's advice and try to take it one day at a time.
