kjhasselstrom You may want to have a serious discussion with your husband about his lifestyle and maybe make some changes together. You have a right to have a fear--and keep this in mind, a man's sperm do not age. Women's eggs age. So your husband will have the sperm of an...

kjhasselstrom Hello :-) I would get a second opinion or ask to be referred to a Reproductive Endocrinologist. There are things they can check and medications to help you maybe ovulate better. Also, I recently found a great online resource. Do a search online for the...

Picking up the vet bill for someone else's cat?

sedel1027 @sedel1027 (17846) • Cupertino, California 7 Sep 07

DH has a cat -Billy - that lives at his moms house. When he moved out 6 years ago, he tried to take Billy with him and she said no because Billy was use to the area and she didn't want to move him. Last year they had to sell their...

kjhasselstrom I think it depends on how comfortable you are with taking to her. Your DH may not want to ask her to pay for any of it, so you can politely bring it up in conversation, especially since money is tight. If she offers to pay back, great, however, if not, take it...

kjhasselstrom I did gain weight--- I went from size a size 5 to a size 12 in one year!! I also was not moving much because I was in pain, but I did gain a lot of weight, which in return made me depressed about that. I took Zoloft for depression and PTSD.
