I have a lot of experience with health care providers — as a peer, a patient and the family member of a patient. My husband has had many serious health problems that culminated in his receiving a heart transplant. These experiences have taught me a few things, which I try to draw from in my care and treatment of pregnant families.
There's a quote that perfectly describes my philosophy as a provider and as a consumer: "Nothing about me without me." I interpret this to mean that there should be no information about my health I shouldn't have, no test results I shouldn't know and no decisions made without my consent.
As a pregnant patient, it's your right and responsibility to know exactly what is happening during your pregnancy and labor. If I recommend that you get a test and I don't explain why, ask me. If I recommend that you take a medication, ask why and how it might affect the baby. Don't hesitate or worry about whether it will hurt your provider's feelings or ego. Ask until you get the answers you need. If you go home from an appointment and remember an important question that you meant to ask (you know how your brain sometimes works during pregnancy), call your provider and get your answer. But don't stop there. Don't ever accept an answer to a question that leaves you with more questions.
During labor and birth, in particular, there are many things that can happen to you — instead of with you. When you are in active labor and concentrating on safely bringing your baby into the world, it might be hard to ask for explanations. But if a provider comes into your labor room and says you need a C-section, someone needs to ask why. Let your support person know that if you can't ask questions during labor, he or she will need to do it for you.
When my husband needed care, I learned to stop worrying about egos or if the providers had enough time. I questioned and pushed until my husband and I were satisfied. You might want your health providers to like you and not cringe because you are one of "those" patients or spouses. But speaking as one of "those" people, I've never regretted asking a question or being informed.

Okay I am 18, me and my boyfriend have sex regularly.. I got off birth control and we had sex unprotected (stupid I know) he did not ejaculate inside of me.. But, I'm 4 weeks late on my period, I have had really bad gas, cramps on and off, lower back hurts, my cervix is high and soft, I get nauseous but never throw up, and have super bad heartburn before bed also very bloated. I took an at home pregnancy test and it came back negative.. Could I still be pregnant?
I Took a pregnancy test 13 days after I had sex. (April 9th)It came out negative and I started my period April 8th. Very painful cramps, blood flow was heavy some days and not as bad others. Lasted 5 days. Now I am trying to determine since I had sex April 4th, and his cum splat on my vagina, and I still had my period on the 8th whether I'm pregnant or not. Could my ovulation start after my period since I had sex 4 days before it? I usually start my period on the 14th, but it came the 8th.
So I was at the doc on the 6th April and he informed me that I am ,round about 11 weeks.I had an "incident some time before the 13 jan but I took a morning after and I then had a different incident with a different person around 30th of same month and also took a morning after .my last menstrual cycle started on 23rd dec .my cycles was also not regularly so by knowing above information are you able to tell me which of incident actually caused pregnancy?

I am currently 34.5 weeks pregnant with the 5th csection. My last baby was delivered at 34.5 weeks in an emergency csection due to using a special ultrasound to detect a uterine window that was only .01 mm. My uterus was so thin they were able to see my baby threw the uterus. I was seeing an OB in San Antonio who said my csection would need to be scheduled 4-6 weeks early to eliminate the chance of me contracting and in turn possibly rupturing and bleeding out. Then due to separating from my husband I had to find a new Dr. in Victoria. This doctor seems to not understand the high risk nature of my pregnancy. He initially said he did not want to chance me going into labor or contracting. Now he is saying that unless I go into labor and are contracting regularly he would not scedule surgery before 39 weeks. What are my options? Can I speak to a maternal fetal medicine specialist on my own for a second option? Is it normal to deliver a 5th csection with previous uterine window at 39 weeks?how do i get a second opinion on this matter?
my last period occur on 21-12-2015 and my cycle length is 23 days and now two days before i am vomiting and water vomiting so please any one tell me it is a pregancy Symptom
I had sexual intercourse and I had a lot of pregnancy symptoms. I had implantation bleeding and everything. Well I just had a period I guess you can say and it was brown and light. Then I started seeing clots. So I don't know if I'm having a miscarriage or not. My aunt had a period before she found out she was pregnant. I'm just worried
Hi my last period was about 3 weeks ago and I had sex last night and I bleed some I thought it was just my period a few days earlier but this morning when I woke up there was so red blood just brownish spotting could I be pregnant?
I had lost my virginity to my bf early last month, (both virgins) and we had sex about 4 times. All times we used protection. But on the 22nd of last month, we had sex on my period and didn't use a condom. Between that time we had sex and now, we have had sex but we used protection all those times. I had started my period on the 20th, and ended the day after we had sex. It's been several weeks since then, and I started my period like normal just recently on the 22nd, and ended on the 25th. But I had light pinkish spotting yesterday, and a very light brown discharge when I wiped on the toilet paper this morning. And last night I had a mild sharp pain in my pelvic area and light cramps in my lower stomach. I've been really really stressed and Ive been having high anxiety do to being scared that I'm pregnant.. The cramps didn't hurt a lot at all nor did it feel like menstrual cramps. This couldn't have been implantation bleeding because my flow was heavy and I had clots, like normal. And it was a normal period, like I had pinkish discharge the day before I started and experienced all the pms signs, then finally my heavy flow came in, and then it went lighter towards the end. I also noticed acouple of days before my period started that when i squeezed my boobs, a clear drop of liquid discharge came leaking out.. Also last night when I had the slight pain in my pelvic, i felt moving in my stomach but I was super worried and had a lot of anxiety so maybe that caused me to have gas. I don't know.. I've done so much research over the past weeks or so, and I am just terrified that I might be pregnant.. I am not stable enough to have a kid. It says that implantation bleeding can be mistaken for your period. But like I said it was a normal period, heavy with clots then got lighter towards the end, and it was all 4 days that I'm usually on my period for too as usual. Plus last Friday night on the 18th, I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. Someone please help. My anxiety is high. And I'm scared.

Everyone commenting with their symptoms and asking if they're pregnant, or if they're having a miscarriage, or anything else regarding their specific situation: there is literally no way a stranger, even an expert, on the internet can answer that. Talk to your doctor.
I got three positive pregnancy test but my period is not due until December 4th or 5th. Am I pregnant?
Okay so I'm here because I'm not sure of my symptoms. This does feel like any menstraul cycle I have ever had. I use an app to see the days I am most fertile, my boyfriend and I had sex every day in my fertile week. I'd say 14 days later I started feeling mild cramps and severely tender breast. I couldn't even lay on my stomach or even on my side at times. About 5 days went by and I had brown spotting more than just a discharge. This lasted about three hours. When I used the restroom it look grainy at the bottom of the toilet. Then had nothing the rest of the day. I took a test and it came back negative. The next day I used the restroom and had a bit more cramping then the days previous. I wiped and there was bright red blood and dark brown. I used a panty liner and saw that it got a bit too heavy. I used a tampon. I have had loss of appetite I have to force myself to eat, after I feel very naseuous. Along with that the mold cramps stayed, breast still tender but now itchy at times, headaches, hot flashes, stiff neck, and thirsty all the time. No matter how much I drink two seconds later I am thirsty again. I have not had frequent urination. When I do urinate though I don't pass clots. My normal menstraul cycle I pass a large amount of clots and mucus. I filled two tampons a day after that it was very light brown,red, and orange blood? I'm very confused this is unlike any period I have ever had. I know implantation bleeding and menstraul bleeding can be the same as well as pregnancy and pms symptoms. Has anyone had the same situation? I am on day three of bleeding and it starts then stops then starts and stops but never passes anything when I urinated (which I always do when I am menstrating)
Hello I am 20 years old and was just curious about something. I have been on birth control since I was 15 nonstop and I quit taking the pill around October 20th. This week I had unprotected sex what's the chances of me being pregnant?
I was wondering if someone could give me an opinion or some guidance on my situation. Basically, I'm 19 years old and I had sex for the first time a few weeks ago (2nd October, specifically) and we had used a form of contraception (Condom - I would have used something like the morning after pill as well but the experience was unexpected and I honestly didn't really think about it). However, about two and a half weeks after this I have been experiencing a bit of pain in my lower abdomen (not a usual symptom before my period), bloating and frequent urination. Around the time my period was due (23rd-24th October), I have experienced some bleeding although this is not much like my usual periods since it is much lighter than normal (although the blood is still bright red, rather than a brown/pinkish colour), so my thought is that it is possibly implantation bleeding. My frequent urination has also stopped at this point and I have started to get pains in my lower back (which is a usual symptom I have when having my period). My bloating is still prominent but it seems to fluctuate (e.g. sometimes it's quite large, whereas sometimes it's reduced in size but still noticable as bloating). As a result of all of this and despite not having experienced other symptoms of pregnancy (changes in breasts, sickness, tiredness, etc.), I have had my suspicions that I am pregnant so I bought a two tests to see the outcome. I used one of them yesterday (I felt comfortable doing the test then since it has been over 21 days since I had sex) and the result came up as 'not pregnant', but I don't feel convinced that this is the case, since I can't see why else I would be experiencing such symptoms (unless it really is my period and it's just late/affected by stress? I did also read somewhere that becoming sexually active can interfere with your pms, but I'm unsure as to what the accuracy of this statement is). I do plan on taking the second test in a few days when the light bleeding I'm experiencing has stopped since maybe the hormone detected by pregnancy tests isn't high enough yet (or, unless I seem to get bleeding that resembles my period, then after that). I would just appreciate some input on the situation is all, especially if someone has experienced the same (would be interested in knowing what the end result was, whether you were pregnant or not).
Amber: home pregnancy tests are usually very accurate about 14 days after you have had intercourse, possibly sooner. Until you can get those results, try to take a deep breath and process. Things to think about: If you have a positive test, who are the safe people you can reach out to for help? If it is negative, this is a really good time to figure out how NOT to have this scare again! Whether that is abstinence or seeking care from a medical provider or clinic that can help you with birth control/contraception. And always remember that condom use is CRUCIAL for protection from sexually transmitted infections.
I just find out this morning that I'm pregnant,nd I'm confused,don't know what to do.I was thinking of an abortion, but then I think I am going to regret it for the rest of my life.how my child would've looked like?how old would s/he be? Nd my boyfriend think I should continue with an abortion, I don't know.
I am really hoping alone can help me. I'm only 17 and I think I could be pregnant I've have a strange feeling in my gut and it's unnerving me. I e bought some pregnancy tests but the date I could have conceived would have been a little over a week ago. I'm lost in knowing what to do. I have tender boobs before we had sex and there still tender I've also had a mettle taists in my mouth when I have woken up for a few days and I'm tired and this strange feeling in my gut. I'm really freaking out and im really worried can anyone help me?
Hi, I am pregnant on 6 weeks, I am getting very light white discharged and mensural cramps. I am having severe nausea and morning sickness accompanied by vomiting. I am sure that nausea and vomiting are common but I am worried about discharge and mensural cramps. Is this any sign of miscarriage. Please help.
My wife is 21 weeks pregnant and the doctor says she has intraheptic Cholestasis....very itchy all over the body. My understanding is that she is not at risk and that the symptoms will subside after the pregnancy. My current worry is for the health of the baby due to how early this condition has occurred in the pregnancy. From what I have heard and read this is more common in weeks 35-38, however I have not read anything about weeks in the 20's. In addition she has had fluid removed from around the baby and the doctors say they will need to do it again 2 or 3 times, in order to earn time to take the baby out early. I am concerned and really looking for more advice as what I am receiving does not answer all my questions. What can I do for both mother and child?
Okay I don't know what I'm doing but I could use some help!!!! My period is not due for another week and a half. I started spotting real lightly on Monday and same into Tuesday. On Wednesday I bled a little heavy but my blood was a brownish red. Today it's like a watered down brown color....what the he k is going on? I'm lost here. Am I having a miscarriag? All the spotting and bleeding has been on and off. I will think it's enough to use a tampon and then it gets so light to were using a tampon hurts. I think it's going away today. Can I please have some guidance? I'm 22 and have never had kids. I have had two miscarriages but they weren't like this
My last period was Aug 15th . Last had sex was Aug 19 . I just started mild cramps and spotting Sept 7th and still is going on could I be pregnant ?
My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex on one of the days that I was fertile, and two days later I was ovulating. I am supposed to get my period on the 8th of September, and I kind of did. What I'm concerned about is that my regular periods start off heavy, with very bad cramps, and usually when I wake up in the morning and use the bathroom is when my period comes. When the 8th came around, I woke up and used the bathroom, and I hadn't gotten any sign of my period. A few hours later, I was bleeding, but very lightly. Not like my normal heavy flows. I also have little cramps. Is it possible I could be pregnant? The blood that is coming out is a bright red color. I took a test about 4 days before my expected period and it came back negative.
I have always been exact on my period every 28 days. Last month on July 18th I was ovulating and I had sex. my period was due on August 1st and it never showed up till August 9th. During the day it was very light, I barely bled but when I woke up for work the next morning I filled up a whole pad, I stained everything and when I sat on the toilet it was clots everywhere, I was like this the whole day. The day after this, I haven't stained at all, it is just a pinkish/white discharge. I did take a pregnancy test before i got my period & it had come out negative. Can I still be pregnant or what is really going on?? Please help!!
I ttc on my most fertile day in July. My period was suppose to come on July 13, I had a small amount of light pink discharge on July 12. On July 13 I bled a little at first it was bright red then it was brown but it had something in it, it was not blood clots but it was not my regular flow of menastration. On the July 14, was spots of brown and then nothing that was the end of it. I took a pregnancy test 3days later but it was negative. I still feel nausea a lot and increase of my appetite and I have minor cramps some days. The past few days when I'm laying still I can feel movement in my stomach. Is it possible that I can be pregnant?
I am 27 and I am have not had my period for 2 months now and I have been having a lot of pregnancy symptoms but 4 hpts and a blood test are all negative is it possible that I am pregnant or is it something else.
My last period was June 10th and I had sex June 13th and July 1st. My cycles usually last about 33 days. I tested positive in July 12th and I'm trying to figure out which date I conceived. Also, I had an inner ultra sound showing only a sac on July 14th.
I've got some questions that are driving me crazy. Ok, I'm 19. My periods were never really regular until about 5 months ago. Cycle length is 30 to 33 days. I got my period like normal (between June 20 to 24 not for certain). My left breast always swells and get super tender before my AF which is normal. About a week after my period BOTH of my boobs have swollen up and feel so heavy. I'm due for my period in a few days but I have no symptoms of it. I've had crazy back aches, extremely emotional and I've noticed my taste for salty food has gone crazy the past few days. My question is; first could I be pregnant (note that I don't know exactly when I ovulated and my boyfriend and I of 3 years do not use any kind of contraception). Secondly, if I'm correct I would be about 10dpo around 3 weeks. Is that to early to test? I've read a lot of women have gotten BFP this early. We were not ttc but would be thrilled if we are.
I am 17 and I don't know what's going on. I'm hoping I'm pregnant because the other things that has came up when looking up what's been happening being pregnant is the best one. Okay so what's going on is I had my period last week like normal. I noticed about two days ago I had very light bleeding in the morning when I got up to go to the bathroom. Yesterday I had the same thing but yesterday it happened more than once. Today I've noticed I've had more discharge than normal. I don't know what's going on because I tool a rest buy it came back negative. Somebody help help me!
My last normal period was in May,I had what I taught was a period the 17th of hune,it only lasted two and a half days( so I suspected I may be pregnant) I tested the following week and got all positive results,the week after I tested negative so went to the hospital,they didn't do a scan but said I had an early miscarriage?my doctor told me just wait and see if you get your period, I bled for 3days(didn't need to wear a pad) light blood only when I wipe? So I'm totally confused,?
Can I be pregnant with a heavy period and false negative test after removing my depo implant a month ago
I have a question, today I went for an vaginal ultrasound. I'm about 4 weeks pregnant my hcg levels were over 7000. However I'm concerned after the doctor told me I had blood spotting in my yolk sac. She was unclear weather I would miscarry or if it was possible to still have a healthy pregnancy.
I just have a question about pregnancy. My boyfriend and I have been sexually active for 1 month and had sex about 9 times. We've always used a condom, no matter what, but one time we used a condom twice. And he never takes it off until we're apart. But my breasts feel kind of sore. But I'm also supposed to get my period in 2 weeks. I haven't felt sick or had cravings, or any weird stuff. Besides my breasts hurting. Could I be pregnant? I'm really worried since I'm only 17 and I'm not sure how to deal with this because my dad cannot find out. I have been using the restroom more lately but that's also because over the last month I went over a diet change to drinking a lot of water all day to loose weight. But I haven't felt the need to eat more or anything. Please get back to me on this quickly.. I'm really scared..

Hi.. I am 37 years old TTC. I had my first IUI done after 2013 last month and I was told during the process that I will need a cervical dilation in my next IUI. When I did my IUI last month, I was just after a urine infection. I have regular periods and have no issues as per the doctor for me to conceive. Please let me know if cervical dilation is needed..can I get pregnant with tight cervix? Could it be due to the urine infection that I had? If so how long will it take to be back to normal?

My boyfriend & I had protected & unprotected sex on Jan 1st. Before we started he went to the bathroom & people say if you go to the bathroom, sperm from earlier ejaculation can be peed out. The first time we used two condoms & then without a condom. Throughout the whole experience he hadn't ejaculated at all. Not sure about precum. A few days later my breasts became sore & that isn't normal for me. It's been that way for about a week now. My period should be here around January 16 or 18. No spotting. Cramps aren't bad, very small. I had a few headaches in the beginning but they aren't bothering me anymore. Don't feel nauseous. Please help. Thanks.

I stopped taking it 1 week ago when I discovered I was pregnant? any advise would be appreciated, as I am extremely worried? thanks Jen
I was 2 weeks and a bit late and I am irregular,and I came on today and not as heavy as normal but still heavy and I have been bloated and had cramps and backache which think was due to be constipated, I have headaches and not sleeping properly I have slightly sore boobs and they have got bigger, am I pregant? Also did a pregnacy test but came up negative but didn't do it right and should I be worried that I'm always irregular? Hope to here soon thanks
I want to know if I am pregnant or not? I had sex with my husband , It was our plan that he'll not insert in his penis in my vagina but we don't remember now what exactly happened. We did pregnancy urine test , it came negative. My periods got delayed 15 days but then after taking some medicines (purposed to cover up infections in women ,may appear after having sex) I got my periods. We had intercourse on 4th of October And I got periods on 28th of october. Now its 26th of November , And from last one month I am facing few problems in which there is headache , feeling tired , Feeling sleepy all time , dizzyness and always feeling hungry. I am also feeling that I am gaining weight and that my belly size is increasing. Is it possible that I am pregnant even if I got my periods after intercourse though delayed?
last 2 months am not getting menses but am participated in oral sex just touching his penni to my verjina at that time iam relesed white is there any chance getting pregnancy and tell me the precautions to that problem?
I had sex a week before my scheduled period. A week after that I bled but I'm not sure if it was my period or spotting. I took a test 3 weeks after that & it came back negative. Could I still be prego?
Hi all. I hope to hear your thoughts soon as this is scaring and bothering me a bit. I normally have heavy and regular periods but my last period was different. It was lighter and sort of "on and off" for about 6 days and also it was 7 days early with bad pains. I didn't pay too much attention to it as didn't experience any other symptoms. Now, 2 weeks later I find myself with weird feelings in the stomach. It's been sort of gurgling, rumbling for at least a week or two now, bubbly feelings (as if I was hungry or something is happening inside) and sometimes pains too. I constantly feel bloated with constant/bad headaches, day or night . I also seem to have lost interest in a few things I used to love I.e. coffee & cigarettes. A few other things make me feel sick (but I haven't thrown up).. no other symptoms. Do you think I could be pregnant? And do you think my last period was a normal period or shall I count it as from day one from the period before last ? ...
Okay so im only 14 and i think i might be pregnant. Me and my boyfriend only had sex 3 times before he broke up with me. Each time we used the pullout method. But i don't believe that worked. I feel pregnant and have alot of the symptoms. Havent taken a test yet. What should i do?
I'm 40 weeks and I am trying to determine if my water broke it's a little trickle, not a gush, so every so often I have this moisture, I smell blood but don't see any, my mucus plug is gone and last I went to the Dr I was 3 cm dilated. Plus I've been nauseated the last two days. The top of my abdomen has gotten so soft, it doesn't even feel like there's fluid there anymore? First baby, a bit worried.
So my girlfriend got a abortion like a year ago and we are trying to have a baby because I am gonna leave to the navy, but when we do try and she gets the symtoms like 3 weeks before her period every single symptoms like every single one one but the day or a couple days after her period, she starts her period... Why? What could have happen? Her symptoms are her boobs hurting and got hard on the sides and her back starting hurting she had to peer even more she had lower stomach pains head aches and faintages.
I just took a home pregnancy test and it was positive. I called to make an appointment, I believe I am about 3 weeks pregnant, they won't see me until after 10 weeks, is that normal?

I then noticed bleedinget on the 5th of Sept went to e.r to, find out, I was misscarying my levles that day were a 15 the following Monday at a 4. I'm now 3 weeks past misscariage and we've been trying again, is it possible I can get pregnant?
Always ask questions!! We were very in touch with our doc and we also read week-by-week books, etc. But always check back with your doc if you've read something. I just came across a new book that's really awesome and even takes it up another notch called "The Wonder Within You: celebrating your baby's journey from conception to birth" by Carey Wickersham. It's an awesome combination of week-to-week pregnancy information, what's going on with the baby, "Did you know?" plus health advice about what to eat, cravings, nutrition, etc, BUT also with awesome 3D/4D pictures and videos you can link or QR with your phone to and see what your baby looks like at each week stage. Even better than the typical week-to-week books, and so personal! It's got mom stories and even a journal/note section to write your personal memories and letters to your baby. The pregnancy information is as up-to-date as it gets and it's such a great keepsake. I want to get one for everybody I know who is expecting! I highly recommend it! TheWonderWithinYou.com.
Am I pregnant? I had sex during my fertile period. I haven't gotten my period since the 13th of August. My nipples are sensitive and hurt. I've been urinating more often. my lower abdomen is tighter right above my pubic bone. I'm bloated. Constipated. Dizzy. Tired. nauseous, but haven't thrown up. and I've been getting headaches that don't last long but the pain is pretty bad and i never get headaches. And I've been getting more acne. I got a negative test that I took this morning, but it was after I had eaten and had gone to the restroom twice. i also drank at least 2 cups of water before I took the test. Am I pregnant?

Now it's already august 4 and no signs of getting my menstruation Yet. Okay so I thought of I am pregnant and I took my first pregnancy test last july29 at around 4 in the afternoon and it was negative so i said i will wait till august 1. Yesterday august 3 i took again a test and it is again negative. I am becoming now so frustrated thinking why it results negative when in fact i dont havent menstruation back yet.

And I am having small wet and white discharges and always feeling so hot, irritated ad short tempered and emotional. What should I do? Am I really preggy? Or just delayed please help me answering this. Thanks.
I had protected sex and im on birth control I had sex on Monday night and every since then which its now Wednesday these last two days ive had stomach pains in my lower and upper stomach but only when im laying downn and some acid reflux but ive had that my whole life and I already had my period for July and the one for august doesnt come until the second week of august but I wanna know now so could I be ?
I have always gotten my period on the 20th of the month. I was 2 days early last month, but other than that, it's always been the same. It always lasts for 5 days, and the flow goes light, medium, heavy, medium, light. (Sorry for the TMI). I always have the same PMS symptoms. It's really quite nice, always very predictable. I started taking Vitamin B6 3 days before my period was due, unaware that it could make me late. When it was late, I thought at first it was just that the B6 had delayed it, but when I finally got some bleeding, it was just light spotting. It has lasted for a week now, so 2 days longer and way lighter that anything else I've ever had. I have just about every pregnancy symptom: Nausea, fatigue, loose stool, headaches, back pain, but I got a negative pregnancy test this morning. (Period would now be 13 days late). My last period ended May 23rd, and I moved in the middle of June. I would think the stress could be contributing, but I had a bigger move last year and it had no effect on my cycle. I understand the concept of a "light period", but I know how much it takes for my uterine lining to fully shed, and this is *not* it. (Again, sorry for the TMI). Has this happened to anyone else? Could I be pregnant? Thanks in advance for your help, I'm really starting to freak out.
Last week I performed oral sex on my boyfriend. He ejaculated on my chest. I was wearing clothes but some sperm seeped through my shirt and onto my skin I immediately washed it off with soap and water. I waited a day to take a shower. A few days later I've started to burp and have baby barfs. Is that a pregnancy symptom? What are the possibilities I am pregnant?
Can you eat Murrel Muschrooms during pregnancy?
My period last month started on the 14th and ended on the 19th. It was not normal, it was a lot of bleeding on the 1st day with a lot of cramping which is usual, but it was worse than normal. Then it just stopped and spotted every 4+hours. The entire time it was cramping when usually cramping stops the 2nd day or 3rd. Well then this month I was supposed to start on the 11th but obviously I'm a day late, still no period, and not sure if there is a chance of pregnancy being that I'm in a healthy relationship. Not in any stressful situations either times. I took a test last month because my pd confused me but negative. Need help.
Hi my name is Ashley Me and my fiance think im pregnant he was telling me that his ex girlfriend didn't show signs or anything till she was 5-6 and her pregnancy test came out nagitive until she was 5 months ago!, what should i do?
I had unprotected sex with my husband on 28th feb.my last periods date was on 10th feb..so wil i become pregnant?
I had unprotected sex on February 13th 3 times and my last period lasted February 7-12. Then unprotected sex again on the 23rd of February. I am not on birth control so what are my chances of getting pregnant? I have had small cramps plus more gas/belching than normal.
Here is my story...nov is was six days late for my period, dec I was two days early, jan on time, feb three days early...of a 26 day cycle, so I should not be pregnant! Well, I started experiencing really bad headaches and severe bloating and nausea around jan. My stomach has not been a washboard, but I could get away with the slimness; and I swim three times a week. My ex-husband made me take a pregnancy test mid jan...NEG! I was good with that until I continued to have headaches and nausea, so I called my PCP. He did a blood panel and from that I had an elevated liver count (alt 55/ast 198) but that did not explain the symptoms. I took another pregnancy test b/c my ex kept persisting I am pregnant with all his crazy symptoms...food cravings (steak/steak sub 2am...we almost never eat after 7p & he doesn't eat red meat), sleeping all the time, doing really weird stuff, etc.; he irrates me to no end, certain scents make me nauseated, I am short tempered, I've met my Pizza quota (3-4 servings a yr) for the year and most importantly I have become really emotional…will cry at the drop of a dime! That preg test was NEG! Ok…so I had to take another liver test and requested a blood preg test...the liver test went down (alt 38/ast 51) and the preg test was NEG. Still bloating, now developed intergestion like crazy over the past three weeks, still having headaches, vomit my lunch last week, regurgitated a few times, so I told my pcp he has to do something. I req for a u/s of my stomach b/c apparently there's a problem. Ok, everything looks fine...liver, gallbladder (no stones...the common duct is obscured by bowel gas), pancreatic body is normal, spleen normal (no fluid), r kidney normal, but the l kidney has mild fullness of the renal pelvis w/o frank hydronephrosis. Btw, all tests for cbc + automated and comprehensive metabolic were good…hbp, glucose, amylase, creatinine, bilirubin were within normal range; my rdw was 14.1 H and the glomer. rate was 53 L. I have the numbers if needed. I did have a couple of nose bleeds that I forgot to tell my PCP about. I was told by some health professionals @ work it could just be that my nose is really dry. What's wrong with me?

With the fiscal cliff averted at last on New Year's Day, President Barack Obama returned to his vacation spot on Kailua Beach in Oahu, Hawaii Wednesday morning for some much-needed R R. Obama had previously cut the vacation short to deal with the fiscal crisis.
[GALLERY: Behind the Scenes With Obama]
Each U.S. president has found his own way to unwind from the stresses of leading the free world, including Harry Truman, who once called the White House the "crown jewel of the federal penal system" because he felt so confined there. Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush both escaped to ranches out west.
But Obama prefers to spend the holidays at lavish rented estates in his former home state of Hawaii, where he plays golf, works out at the nearby Marine Corps base, and spends time with wife Michelle and daughters Sasha and Malia on the beach. The First Family rents a home each year on Paradise Point, a lush, green stretch of land in Kailua Beach, Oahu, that juts out over the ocean and contains an exclusive gated community.
From 2008 to 2010, that home was the "Plantation Estate," a lavish, 5,000-square-foot ocean-front home on Paradise Point described on its web site as "built for exceptional security, comfort and elegance just steps from the silky white sands of Kailua Beach." The home's security is due in no small part to its proximity to the Marine Corps Base Hawaii on Kaneohe Bay, which houses nearly 10,000 Marines, sailors and civilian employees.
[RELATED: Romney Criticized for Vacationing at Multimillion Dollar New Hampshire Estate]
In 2011, the Obamas moved to a unnamed but similar vacation home down the street, which the Washington Post reported is 6,000-square-feet and contains an inner courtyard and expansive lawn that leads down to the beach.
This year, the Obamas are believed to be staying in the same unnamed home. But TopTenRealEstateDeals.com, which has been tracking the Obama's vacations since 2008, says that while it can "normally pinpoint" POTUS's Hawaii home, Kailua residents were "more cagey" about the his whereabouts this year.
Glenn L. Weinberg, who owns Plantation Estate, did not respond to request for information from Whispers.
[READ: Obama's Vacation Reading List]
The real estate website does know that the First Family remains on Paradise Point, however, where homes cost approximately $25,000 a week. The Obamas pay this fee out of their personal funds. But according to Keith Koffler at the White House Dossier blog, Obama's Hawaii vacation has cost taxpayers $7 million, due to the costs of flying Air Force One and an extensive security operation.

The Simple English Wiktionary has a definition for: Bangladesh. |
Bangladesh (officially called People's Republic of Bangladesh) is a country in South Asia. It is next to the North-east Indian provincial regions of India, which converges with Southeast Asia to the east. Its full name is The People's Republic of Bangla-Desh. The capital and the largest city is Dhaka (also spelled 'Dacca'). Bangladesh is surrounded on all three sides by the Republic of India (Bharat), and Myanmar (Burma) on the south-eastern corner, it is near the People's Republic of China, Bhutan, Sikkim and Nepal. Its independence was fully realised after it declared it self as independent most of 1971 from Pakistan after a bloody war in which over a million people died. Later by Indian military intervention, by that time the provisional government went into exile in Calcutta, Bengal (India) which they considered their homeland to be under Pakistani military occupation. After the Instrument of Surrender, the Bengali peoples became a sovereign nation and when its founder was released from political imprisonment had returned in 1972. Present-day Bangladesh has an area of 56,977 mi² or (147,570 km²).
The local currency is called Taka. The official language is Bengali.
There are two main rivers in Bangladesh, the Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers are holy to Hindus. There are often floods because of these two rivers.
History[change | change source]
Earliest civilizations[change | change source]
The delta and surrounding hills has been inhabited for hundreds of generations (thousands of years).[7] The area supported agriculture very early on. About 500 BC there was a shift to growing rice.[7] This led to the development of urban areas. Because there were no stone quarries in the area houses were built of wood and mud (including adobe). Because of the monsoon climate very little evidence of the earliest inhabitants remains.[7] From about 300 BC to the 1700s AD the Bengal delta saw the development of writing, the Bengali language, religions and the rise and fall of states.[7] By the 1500s, the area was prosperous and even peasants had plenty to eat.[8]
Political states[change | change source]
For much of its history the area was simply called "Bengal" and was considered a part of India.[9] The last few centuries several foreign powers involved themselves with the area resulting in several wars.[9] The 20th century brought more wars, genocide, and political states. Bengal was under British rule from 1757–1947.[10] It was a part of British India. In 1947 East Bengal and West Pakistan separated from India and formed a new country called Pakistan.[10] But the east and west provinces were on either side of India and separated by 930 miles (1,500 km).[11] In 1949 the Bangladesh Awami League formed to favor separation between east and west Pakistan.[11] In 1955 East Bengal was renamed East Pakistan. Dacca was then the legislative capital of Pakistani Bengal provincial region. The peoples of East Pakistan were mostly ethnic Bengalis who had a different language and culture to the people of western Pakistan. These differences eventually led to the Bangladesh Liberation War. On 16 December 1971, Bangladesh gained independence, with the help of allied forces against West Pakistani forces.
The East Bengal Legislative Assembly was the law-making body of the province of East Bengal. It was later renamed the East Pakistan Legislative Assembly and would be succeeded by the Jatiyo Sangshad in 1971.
After the birth of Bangladesh, Bangla replaced Urdu and English as the sole national and official language, and was the language taught in schools and used in business and government. The Bangla Academy was important in this change. In the 1980s, British-style education was maintained through private English-language institutions attended by upper class children. English continued to be taught in higher education and was offered as a subject for university degrees.
At first, Arabic also lost ground in independent Bangladesh. This trend ended in the late 1970s, however, after Bangladesh strengthened its ties with Saudi Arabia and other oil-rich, Arabic-speaking countries. An unsuccessful attempt was made in 1983 to introduce Arabic as a required language in primary and secondary levels. Arabic is widely studied in Madrassas and Islamic institutions around the country for better understanding of the Quran, Hadith and any other Islamic texts.
Difficulties[change | change source]
Despite 30 years of independence, Bangladesh is still a poor country and has problems with corruption and political troubles as the other country have. Presently more than half of the people can read and write.
Bangladesh has heavy cyclones and natural disasters, due to this many lives are often lost. The country is one of the most densely populated in the world. Cyclones are very common in the Bay of Bengal during the middle of the year, particularly in the south of country in areas like Sundarban, Chittagong, Cox's Bazaar,or in neighboring Myanmar and Republic of India. Despite the many storms, Bangladesh does not have a very effective storm prevention system, and cyclones usually inflict heavy damage.
Geography[change | change source]
Bangladesh is in the Ganges Delta. This is where the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna come together. Most parts of Bangladesh are less than 12 m (39.4 ft) above the sea level. The highest point in Bangladesh is in Mowdok range at 1,052 m (3,451 ft) in the Chittagong Hill Tracts to the southeast of the country.[12] Cox's Bazar, south of the city of Chittagong, has a beach that is uninterrupted over 120 km (75 mi).
A large part of the coastline is a marshy jungle, the Sundarbans. They are the largest mangrove forest in the world.
Divisions[change | change source]
Bangladesh is divided into seven administrative divisions,:[13][14] Barisal (বরিশাল), Chittagong (চট্টগ্রাম), Dhaka (ঢাকা), Khulna (খুলনা), Rajshahi (রাজশাহী), Sylhet (সিলেট), and Rangpur (রংপুর).

LAS VEGAS (AP) - More crews are arriving to battle a wildfire that has forced more than 500 people out of homes on the west and east sides of Mount Charleston and is still growing.
Fire managers reported Monday that more than 750 firefighters are now battling the more than 22-square-mile Carpenter 1 Fire that started with a lightning strike a week ago in steep and rugged terrain near about 30 miles northwest of Las Vegas.
No injuries are reported and no structures have burned.
Homes in Trout, Kyle and Lee canyons are evacuated.
Another 600 firefighters are battling the Bison Fire covering more than 14 square miles in the Pine Nut Mountains near Gardnerville south of Reno. They were hampered by gusty winds Sunday.
Officials are reporting 15 percent containment in both fires.

Vending Machine II . It dispenses 13 different products, cans, chocolates, popcorn, french fries, and so on. It accepts coins from 0.05 to 2� and gives the right exchange. More details below! . This new MOC comes from my previous work: Smart Candy Machine. Since I have become a member of PLUG, I was encouraged to try a better and bigger one. This time, it�s very developed comparing to the first one! It took all summer of 2006. But, this project is on my mind a long time ago. The body (where products take place) was virtually built in MLCAD to know what kind and quantity of pieces were required. After building the �brain�, where all coins control is processed, I bought all pieces that were in need to build the body. Then, unfortunately, I destroyed my Ferrari sets, 8653 and 8386, to build the block in the back, responsible to reach each product and dispense it. This way, almost everything is old style, but the back has new style (studless). Functions: 1 � Firstly, the user inserts the coins, from 0.05� to 2�, 6 different coins. While processing the recognition of each one, the slot is locked to avoid blockage; 2 � The user digits the number of the product required through a keyboard (1-5). There are 13 different products (total of 57 products) and they�re numbered in three shelves, like this: 11, 12, 13�; 21, 22, 23�; 31, 32, 33�; 3 � If money is not enough, the LCD displays the amount needed for that product. Else, the product is released and the exchange is given; 4 � There is a Return button to return the money of the user; 5 - In the inside of the exchange door, there�s a lamp that is turned on when exchange is given; 6 � All extra coins are saved in the appropriated box/drawer. These drawers can be open by introducing a code chosen by me and only modified through the NQC program; 7 � If RCX�s stay always turned on, it knows the quantity of each product and each coin reacting well to some incompatibly situations; 8 � There�s also fibre optic just to the aesthetic in the base of the machine where products fall; Specifications: Pieces: I would also like to know� RCX�s: 2 Motors: 8 Lamps: 2 (on the inside of exchange door) Sensors: - 1 Rotation Sensor; - 3 Light Sensors; - 8 Touch Sensors (6 of them used in the keyboard); Programming language: NQC. Special equipment: - Extra wires (take a look at these instructions : http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=187610); - Strong wire to make snacks spirals; - Book spirals to save coins for exchange; - Aluminium band to cover the ramp where coins have to make contact; - Breadboard and resistances linked to the RCX inputs to identify coins and keys of keyboard; - 2 acrylic parts, one to the front and the other to the back like a drawer not to hide mechanisms in the main block; - Some lamps to light up the products.

New Freestyle Board June 19, 2012
Posted by bibliosk8er in freestyle skateboarding.2 comments
I think I may have mentioned that my friends seem to think I skate flatground better on a standard newschool street board. So I've been riding one for a couple of weeks. In fact, the video I just posted is done on this board. it's a standard 7.75″ wide newschool board, from Index Skate Supply (in Dallas), with Ace 22 trucks and 50mm Bones STF wheels.
After a short time adjusting to it, I really feel like my skating is better on this size board. It's light. It is big enough to provide a good landing platform. The narrow contact patch of the wheels, which offer less traction, seems to offset the longer wheelbase when doing shove-its. The longer wheelbase also give me just a little more room to move my feet around for footwork. Overall, the thing is light, very responsive, and simple. I even think my fingerflips are better on this board — much better landings, now that I'm used to it.
Training the Magic Weasel June 19, 2012
Posted by bibliosk8er in freestyle skateboarding.add a comment
A new skate video…
Warning – I shot this video mostly to analyze my own skating – so yes — it is mostly the same footwork sequence over and over, from different angles. But some of it was kind of cool, so I decided to put it up here on youtube.
My friend Tony Gale says that freestyle skater Stefan Albert moves like "a magic weasel". I decided to learn some footwork inspired by Stefan. The Magic Weasel is 2 end-overs into a 1-footed tail 360 into 2 end-overs, but the trick is making a smooth transition from endovers to 1 footed 360s and back to endovers, so it all appears to be one continuous movement.
This was my first day working on this sequence. Thought it went pretty well.

Small School "Imperial" shape. Click for larger image. |
Practiced some freestyle tonight. Was more tired than usual due to poor sleep last night, so I just worked on a few things and didn't stress out. Working on getting my rolling 180 fingerflips back. Made a couple of good ones. Feel like when I actually have energy I will get them down. Vacation starts on June 11 — can't wait for massive skate practice.
The consensus from those who have skated with me is that I am better, and have better flow, on a standard 14″ wheelbase board. Small School is about to get our first run of boards, including the new Imperial shape — 8″ wide, 14″ wheelbase, bidirectional, blunt ends. Essentially a bigger version of what I'm already riding. Gonna try it out. I want a board that maximizes my strengths, rather than indulges some fantasy about how I think I "might" skate. Style is everything, and skating with your own style is even more of everything. So I will be experimenting with a number of boards over the coming couple of weeks.

I went out for a little over an hour practice tonight. All my normal stuff is getting real solid and smooth. Very happy about that. Filmed a little, so I could study it and see how it actually looked, and filmed a bit from "on-board" just for fun.
Some footwork May 21, 2012
Posted by bibliosk8er in freestyle skateboarding.2 comments
I was really tired from spending a couple of hours in the heat at a skate event today, but went out to just work on my footwork a bit tonight. Specifically, I am working on smooth transitions from end-overs to walk the dog, which requires some foot repositioning during the pivot part of the end-over.
There's a big seam between the concrete section about halfway down my little practice area. Need to get used to rolling across it. I am breaking up my line a lot just by being a little to conscious of it.
Some freestyle tricks… May 16, 2012

Just a few tricks. I'm not big on stationary tricks, but I did some rail flips tonight. Also working on my 2 footed nose 360s.
A few freestyle tricks May 11, 2012
Posted by bibliosk8er in freestyle skateboarding.add a comment
Got some after work freestyle practice in yesterday. I was tired from work, but just relaxed and had some fun.
I was popping my 360 Shove-Its way too much. Want to keep them flat. But I am working on make my take-offs my stylish on that trick, and it was affecting the whole thing. Not too bad.
At these after work sessions I don't really try to learn new stuff. I just practice what I already know. This weekend there are a few tricks on my list that I want to start working on, to add to the regular lines. I really need to bring my notebook out, so I don't forget to practice some moves.

Some skating… April 8, 2012
Posted by bibliosk8er in freestyle skateboarding, skateboarding.add a comment
Yesterday I had my 4th freestyle practice. As noted earlier, it has been a long time since I've done this stuff. Thinking about it, really, it has been at least 4 years. Of course I've been skating a lot on longboard, so it isn't like I've not been skating. Still feeling a little clumsy on the small freestyle board, but overall I think it is going well.
Video is a great learning tool. For example, this video brought a couple of things to my attention:
- On my 360 shove-its, when I hang my rear foot over the edge less during take-off, I get a much better landing — better style – with my foot really on the board nicely, rather than on the heel with my toes hanging off.
- I remembered that on fingerflips, if I keep my knees together and pointed slightly forward, it not only looks better, but improves the trick by getting both less functioning in better unison.


text: iPhone Anamorphic Lens Lets You Shoot Wider Than WidescreenAndrew Liszewski12/04/13 2:20pmFiled to: PhotographyLensesCamerasiPhoneKickstarter1.33x Anamorphic Adapter lenses483EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Even though 35mm film dominated the film industry for years and years, the majority of movies released to theaters were much wider than the stock's 4:3 aspect ratio. But instead of sacrificing resolution and simply cropping off the top and bottom of a frame to make it widescreen, filmmakers used special lenses that squeezed a wider vista onto the 35mm film stock, and then unsqueezed the images when they were being projected. They were known as anamorphic lenses, and soon you'll be able to get one for your iPhone. Advertisement What looks like one of the many external lenses you can get for your smartphone is actually one of the first to do an anamorphic squeeze on your footage, letting you shoot video that's approximately 33 percent wider than the iPhone's standard field of vision. So if you're shooting video in an old-school 4:3 aspect ratio, when the footage was unsqueezed in your video editor it would have a wider 16:9 vista. And if you're shooting in 16:9 to start with, the resulting footage would have an even wider and more majestic 2.4:1 aspect ratio. For still images the iPhone's panoramic mode easily accomplishes this, but this is currently the only way to pull it off for video. Advertisement The anamorphic adapter lens is currently raising funds on Kickstarter, and with a pledge of $85 or more you can claim one of the first production units when they're available sometime closer to March of next year. In the meantime, you'll have to keep stomaching the limited 16:9 videos you can shoot with your phone, or go out and buy yourself a proper 35mm movie camera.

MLS CapsulesBy The Associated Press , Associated Press
Apr. 21, 2013 1:18 AM ET
TORONTO (AP) — Warren Creavalle scored on a header off a corner kick late in second-half stoppage to give the Houston Dynamo a 1-1 tie with Toronto FC on Saturday in cold, windy conditions Jeremy Hall opened the scoring for Toronto with a long shot in the 58th minute. Toronto (1-2-4), which settled for its fourth straight draw, also gave up the tying score in stoppage time last Saturday against Philadelphia. Until the tying goal, the Dynamo (4-2-1) were back on their heels all game and barely got the ball out of their end throughout the second half. The draw snapped Houston's two-game skid on the road. It was in the mid-30s and the wind was so strong off Lake Ontario that the corner flags bent sideways. SOUNDERS 1, RAPIDS 0 COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (AP) — Oba Martin scored in the 27th minute as Seattle beat Colorado for the seventh straight time. The Sounders (1-3-2) have scored just three goals while being shut out three times. Colorado goalkeeper Clint Irwin stopped a shot from the slot by Shalrie Joseph. The ball bonded right back to Martin, who put the ball past the outstretched hands of Irvin for his first goal with Seattle. Colorado (2-4-2) lost for the first time in three matches. Irwin had posted back-to-back shutouts. The Rapids played without leading goal-scorer Deshorn Brown. The rookie forward suffered a thigh injury in Friday's practice and is expected to miss up to two weeks. RED BULLS 4, REVOLUTION 1 HARRISON, N.J. (AP) — Dax McCarty and Fabian Espindola scored in the first half to lead New York. Thierry Henry and Jonny Steele had second-half goals to help the Red Bulls (3-4-2) extend the Revolution's winless streak to 0-3-2. New England (1-3-2) has not won at New York since 2007, a span of eight games. Coming in with just one goal on the season, the Revolution avoided another shutout thanks to an own-goal by Red Bulls defender Brandon Barklage in the 6th minute. The teams opened the game with a tribute to Boston. The introductory song was switched from the Red Bulls Anthem to "Dirty Water," a song with Boston ties as a banner in the home cheering section was read "New York Stands With Boston." FIRE 1, CREW 0 BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. (AP) — Jeff Larentowicz scored in the 83rd minute to lift Chicago. Larentowicz headed Austin Berry's pass by Columbus goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum from five yards out to cap a furious rally that saw Chicago take 16 shots at the Crew goal in the second half. Chicago (2-4-1) won for the second time in three matches to climb out of a tie at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. The Crew (2-2-3) snapped their four-game unbeaten streak (1-0-3). REAL SALT LAKE 1, CHIVAS USA 0 SANDY, Utah (AP) — Javier Morales scored on a header in the 53rd minute for Real Salt Lake. Salt Lake (3-3-2) moved one point ahead of Chivas into second place in the Western Conference. Chivas USA (3-3-1) has now lost two straight games while failing to score a goal in either match. Salt Lake goalie Nick Rimando, who has given up just five goals in seven games, earned his second shutout of the season. FC DALLAS 2, WHITECAPS 0 FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Blas Perez scored in the second half and Raul Fernandez made three saves for his fourth shutout of the season to lead FC Dallas. Perez now has three goals in five games for league-leading Dallas (6-1-1), which also benefited from an own goal by Vancouver's Brad Rusin to improve to 5-0-1 in its last six matches. FC Dallas remained perfect at home, winning all five contests by a combined 9-2 margin. The Whitecaps (2-2-3) dropped to 0-3-1 on the road this season and 0-3-2 in their last five matches overall. GALAXY 2, SPORTING KC 0 CARSON, Calif. (AP) — Landon Donovan scored a goal and set up another for his first points since his return to soccer, helping Los Angeles snap Sporting Kansas City's 545-minute streak of shutout defense. Donovan set up Marcelo Sarvas' 27th-minute goal before scoring his own goal on a pass from Robbie Keane in the 74th minute for the two-time defending MLS champions (3-1-2), who ended a four-match winless skid with big performances from their two biggest stars. Sporting KC's (4-2-2) three-match winning streak ended with their first goals allowed since March 9. The Eastern Conference leaders' shutout streak was the fifth-longest in MLS history. Los Angeles goalie Carlo Cudicini got his third shutout in his first six MLS matches. © The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Coke Farm has been producing organically grown fruits and vegetables for over 25 years. In 1981 founder Dale Coke was inspired to begin growing organic strawberries when a conventional farmer speculated that strawberries could not be grown without the use of herbicides and pesticides. Dale planted his first strawberries in August of 1981 on the home ranch near Aromas, California. The plants produced successfully and a local natural foods store became the first Coke Farm customer. Dale started planting more crops and joined the Santa Cruz chapter of CCOF (California Certified Organic Farmers).
Phil and Katherine Foster farm 250 acres of CCOF and IFOAM certified organic vegetables, melons and fruit on two ranches near San Juan Batista and Hollister, California.
Using the unique microclimates of each area allows them to grow over 60 different fruits and vegetables, including cool season crops such as lettuce and cabbage and hot season crops like sweet corn, bell pepper, garlic and onions.
Not only do the Fosters practice basic organic farming methods, they also make their own compost and focus on building the nutrition in their soil to yield the highest quality food. The Fosters do this by using cover crops, practicing environmentally sensitive pest control, decreasing water consumption and protecting water quality by using drip irrigation whenever possible.

Catalytic converter needed
My 98 4.0 has something loose inside the Cat. It doesn't affect the performance but it sounds just like I have a broken exhaust pipe hanger. I have searched the web looking for an after market Cat but can't find one. The dealer wants $850.00. I don't want to go to a straight pipe. Anyone know of anyone who makes a California legal Cat? Any one in California have one to sell?
Napa ,auto zone what ever
have cats for around 100 bucks |
did you have the local dealer check it out? call them up and tell them that you believe your jeep has a recall : E22-PCM reprogramming and catalytic converter inspection
It appears the failures are only for 1996-1998 Chrysler vehicles (including Jeep Wrangler and Cherokee). It appears that both the cat and the PCM were recalled. The cat for falling apart and rattling and the PCM for not detecting a cat failure. I wasnt able to find anything showing the exact range of VINs this was for... but perhaps yours doesnt fall into that range.

ooooo damn i didn't notice you had a 4.0, so i dont think that'll work.
Thanks kdukes4, you had me excited until I read 2.5L. I may buy an out of state Cat and reinstall mine for inspection when the time comes.
sorry man...
Where in California are you ?
I have heard some take the cat off and knock the insides out with a pipe or long bar by poking it through the end. Never done it myself but may be a quick fix if you cannot find one right away.
I am in South Orange County
I placed a call to a muffler shop here in OC that I have been using for 22 yrs. They said they will call me back with a price in about 1/2 hour. |
Call Plaza Muffler in Santa Ana,Ca. They quoted $240 installed. 714-547-5461 |
Thanks SDPNJOE, I'll call them Monday
Are you sure it's not just the heat shield came loose also I no in IL it's illegal to reinstall a cat. off another vehicle
it's illegal in most if not all states, but no one said to install one from another vehicle.
I'm not saying just saying a shop will not install it for you but you could do it your self
Any update on the Cat ? |
Yea George, I spoke with Plaza and they said they can weld in a universal Cat. The problem is I keep my Jeep at my house in Borrego Springs so I was hoping for a direct fit and install it myself. I may bring it home during the summer (when it's as hot as the surface of the sun there) and have them do it. Thanks for the help, PM me if you are going to be in B.S. Great wheelin there.
Fred, AKA Grant |
Yes, It is illegal to install or sell a used Cat. Who's checking? I am going to double check that it may be the heat shield that is loose.
Thanks for the replies, Fred |
I used to do a lot of wheeling there years ago. We used to go out by the old landing strip. My friends father lives in B.S. His last name is Partridge. You've probably seen his Kawasaki green class 5/16 baja with a built acura eng in it. It's kind of street legal.
I will definately PM you when I go out there again. It's been about 10 yrs. |

Footballer drives 4×4 on to pitch, 'tries to run over referee' after being sent off
(Picture slightly related.)
A Sunday League footballer decided to get his revenge on the referee that sent him off by driving his Range Rover on to the pitch while the match was still in play and threatening to mow the official down.
The 28-year-old sat in his car doing 'doughnuts' over the turf in an attempt to get the match abandoned while the referee was forced to hide in the goal, a court in Liverpool heard yesterday.
The Southport and District league player was charged with affray and dangerous driving, and granted bail on condition he kept away from league games.

Yields about 3-1/2 cups.
This classic pan gravy, thickened with a beurre manié and spiked with herbs, goes well with any roast turkey and stuffing combination. If you're matching it to the Italian Bread & Sausage Stuffing, be sure to use fresh thyme in the gravy.
After removing the turkey from the roasting pan, tilt the pan so the pan juices collect in one corner (don't try to scrape up the browned bits stuck to the pan; you'll get to those later). Pour all the juices into a large (4-cup) measuring cup and leave undisturbed so the fat rises to the top. Pour off and discard as much of the fat as you can, carefully reserving all the pan juices underneath.
Set the roasting pan over medium-high heat; when it's hot, pour in about 1 cup of the giblet stock and scrape up the nubbins in the pan. Strain this liquid into the cup with the pan drippings. Add the remaining 2 cups stock; you should have about 3-1/2 cups. Pour the mixture into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
Meanwhile, knead the butter and flour together to make a smooth paste (called a beurre manié) and then whisk the paste, a few pieces at a time, into the boiling mixture until the gravy reaches a consistency that you like. You might not need to use all of the beurre manié. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes to cook off any floury taste. Stir in the herbs and season with salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat to low and keep the gravy warm until everything else is on the table.
