contraception (pill) question [late birth] [birth control pill]

Hi there,
I have a few questions, maybe someone out there kind enough to answer them for me and possibly to ease my concerns.

Im not quite comfortable on them . and Ive been told many times that being on the pill for too long can be bad for your body and that a “rest” of it is sometimes good. I had my period will receive around late March – when I stopped taking the pills

Should I or shouldn't I? [braxton hicks] [ocean breeze]

Hubbie came home tonight and told me that his partner at work gave him free use of his apartment on the beach in Cape Cod for two nights (three days) this coming Wednesday through Friday. I really really really want to, just to escape the monotony of sitting around here. I still have the normal aches and Braxton Hicks, Ive been resting a lot, just tired as I am not too much. Id like to just sit by the water and catch the Ocean Breeze and just relax before the baby arrives. I also need to get awa

The risk of false-positive [nauseous] [cramps]

Ive tested positive 3 days before my period was due. I tested because I do not feel good, dizzy, nauseous (spell?), And my breasts were so painful that the water they had pain shower.

However, today I am with cramps, like the kind I get right before I start my period. Is this normal or is there a risk of false positives?

Is it the middle part of the nipple (the part that sticks out), or is it the entire nipple area including the surrounding part of the nipple. I ask this because strangely enough when I squeeze my breasts, the clear pre-milk is just off center but sometimes on the outside of the area.

I hope I was able to clear myself. Thank you all for your s

I had cramps / discomfort / pain since the day after ovulation. I am now 8 days past ovulation – six of those days I felt something. It comes and goes a lot all day and never lasts for long time in a given time. It started up in the neighborhood where my ovaries are and kind of worked its way down, I think the direction of my pu
