Ok, I think I freaked some people out with my last post (re: Surprise Pregnancies). So to allay people's concerns, including mine should I ever have any, I put this question forth to the community:
What exactly is decidual bleeding?
How long does it last? What does it look like? Are there any other symptoms? How common/rare is it? What consistency does it have? etc.
I'm not finding very good info on google so please feel free to be as tmi as you like. The more info the better. It freaks me out that there is a possibility of having a period and still being pregnant.

Newbie here. Very excited newbie.
With the schedules going up, I'm starting to see signing schedules pop up, as well. So here's my question:
How do autograph signings work in the autograph area as opposed to booths? And the ones with ticket drawings?
Thanks!

Then, a burst of experimental creativity about 1.7 billion years ago brought the cell nucleus onto the scene, stashing the cell's genetic material inside a protective inner membrane and setting the stage for the evolution of more sophisticated creatures from yeast, say, to plants and human beings. Now research shows that one of the most basic design principles of this new eukaryotic life-form -- the gatekeeper to the cell nucleus known as the nuclear pore complex -- is largely shared across the most distantly related eukaryotes.

I apologize in advance for this "Am I normal?" problem as I know it annoys some people. Brief recap: Planned Parenthood started me on Reclipsen last month because my periods had returned full force two months prior after a very long absence and they were lasting like 2-3 weeks, almost a month. I started period spotting about two days before I was to finish that month's pack. Period itself started about Monday (7/6). At first it seemed manageable...pads alone were taking care of it. Yesterday I noticed it was a lot heavier but I chalked it up to walking to work from the bus depot, about a mile or so (I missed my connection), so I put in my regular tampon at 4 or so. At about 7:45 after I'd gotten off and at Walmart, I felt it leak through (I was wearing a pad as a backup as I always do). Did my shopping and changed it at 8:30, give or take. Went to eat and when I got home at 10, I had already soaked through that one. I had plans last night so changed it to a super absorbency one. By the time I got back at 2 am, I had soaked through that one too. I jumped in the shower, turned the handheld shower on to "power washer" and cleaned myself out. I of course have had a great deal of clotting that had rinsed out.
I have had debilitating cramps and a great deal of bloating but should my period be this heavy? I called my doc even though I don't have insurance and he wants me to try Yaz instead which he gave me a sample month of. I am due to start my new month pack tomorrow at which time he wants me to use that one. Is this a good idea? Will it help this heavy bleeding? The last time I bled this much was after childbirth! Even as I type this, I can feel the blood with the tampon in. When I woke up this morning, tampon in, there was nothing on the pad but as soon as I got up, it all rushed forward. What do I do? Can someone please help? Normally I wouldn't be this freaked out, but this truly is a LOT of blood.
ETA: I edited to make it slightly easier to read and not a complete run-on paragraph.

Hello!!
I just did my second brazilian wax about a week ago, and now I'm having the most itchy regrowth ever! I don't remember the first regrowth being that bad. FYI, my two brazilians have been done by different people each time. I have been exfoiliating too, so I am surprised the regrowth is so painful and poky.
I don't know if it's all ingrown hairs, but it is very poky and feels slightly painful when I rub the skin. Some areas are slightly red. It feels a bit like cactus (okay, I'm exagerrating...) Also, when I had sex with my partner today he said it felt like sandpaper :(
Did I just get a very bad waxer or is this normal?

I feel physically frail this week. first my back goes berserk, now my knee. I was standing at work yesterday when I noticed my knee felt sore- like the muscle or tissue around and under my knee cap was swollen. It got progressively worse while I stood there, so when I got home I put an ice pack on it for a few hours. it is still sore and bending it, while not quite painful, is not pleasant. wtf? now I am getting injured just standing around?
a pox on this meat body! I am supposed to attend a wedding at the top of Mt. Bonnell tonight. *sigh* maybe I will just hang out at the reception. I am sure I could climb up with discomfort, but I am afraid that my knee would not forgive me and would decide to really show me how it feels, making the next week miserable.
My social life is being negatively affected by this knee. I have a ton of things I want to do today and tomorrow. fuck this knee.
I saw this awesome preview yesterday: http://www.hulu.com/watch/75073/movie-trailers-surrogates
yes, right now I need a surrogate robot body. maybe two, one with party-all-night features and the other with a brain like Einstein. then my real body can stay home and lounge in bed with the hubby all day, guilt free.
If you liked that trailer, I recommend a book called Kiln People- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiln_People

some creative rearrangement of traces, and we get this on the bottom of the board -
seems appropriate for a BM project. unfortunately he'll be underneath the battery holder, but it amuses me.

I finally gave in and got myself an iPhone. Since my old palm phone was stolen at the gym, I'd been using my blackberry pearl, which kept me constantly full to the brim with bile and disdain. (there's a broken parallelism there. I wonder which bodily humor is the appropriate metaphor for disdain.) It was slow and clumsy in all the wrong ways, and its predictive text was constantly frustrating, because one typo would turn the entire word into gibberish. I might have gone backwards, but they don't make anything as simple and elegant as the Treo 600 anymore. And if I was going to go forward, I wasn't taking half-measures and getting a device with some in-house OS device with no third party software and its own infuriating quirks, nor a Windows Mobile phone that combined all the slowness of a bloated desktop OS with the clumsiness of a tiny stylus-driven interface. No, only Apple would do. Apple's user interfaces are among the least customizable, which is usually bad, but they make up for it by doing it right the first time. Note the word "interfaces." The iPhone interface has an unmistakable Apple aesthetic, but it's not a direct port of the OS X look and feel. They were willing to relax their branding enough to start from scratch and think about how a mobile phone OS _should_ look.
I still vacillated on the purchase for months, because I hated the idea of paying an extra $360 a year for the data plan. I mostly want a smartphone I can use to keep my schedule and jot down notes. But under strong urging from euziere (who knows how badly I need an organizer, and how poorly other phones have worked for me), and with the considered advice of Mike (who owns an iphone) and Steve and Greg (who were more excited about Android, but agreed that the iphone was the right thing for my needs), I decided to go for it. I find it ironic that I often evangelize Macs to other people* (who never listen), but other people had to push for so long to get me to try an iphone.
* In case you're wondering, my Mac evangelism consists of the following two points: 1) Apple is almost fanatically generous with their protection plan. If you buy the three year warranty, you are going to have a functioning computer for three years (unless you drop it -- and I mean, like, drop it into an alligator). 2) Apple is built on BSD, so if their graphical interface ever fails to satisfy, you can do almost anything through the terminal. There is usually a third point that is context dependent.
Anyway, I'm quite pleased so far. It has the expected annoyances and artificial limitations, but it also Just Works, and it makes it easy for me to do the things I want to do with it. Also, at long last, I have a phone that actually syncs with my computer, for real! My only real complaint was the lack of a clipboard, and the first time I plugged it into my computer, it offered to download a system update that adds one!

in the beginning of june i got what had to have been a yeast infection ( i know it had to have been one because they were a side effect of a med i had just started, and a day or two prior i got talked into letting something sugary be put inside me). i started a monistat 7 day treatment kit, and then switched to a 1 day kit. on the 10th i posted here about the swelling/pressure i felt the day after using the one day kit. later that day it went away and i was symptom free. a few days after that i had sex and was fine, my guy even said i was nice that day. a few days after having sex i noticed bright green discharge in my underwear (which had green in them, so that might be nothing). besides an odor there was nothing else odd going on before i got my period. now my only "symptom" is that i still smell kind of musky down there, where as before i never had a scent that i could detect.
can anyone take a guess as to what caused it or what i can do to help it? i'm embarrassed to have sex now because of it.

For as long as I can remember, the skin on my breasts has been very dry. Flaking, peeling, crocodile skin. It doesn't hurt or itch at all--it's just dry. The dryness is primarily on the lower parts of the breast and the inner parts (like, if you push them together, the area where they touch each other).
I decided to do something about it this summer. I started moisturizing the trouble areas intensely--with really thick lotions and even pure Shea butter. It took 2 weeks, but it seemed to work.
After about 3 weeks, though, suddenly I was back to square one. It's like within two days, everything I had done reversed itself.
The only thing I can think of is that I started going out more...and therefore wearing bras more. I wear sports bras, because I find regular ones to be horribly uncomfortable. This probably isn't the best thing, because I'm at least a D-cup.
Does anyone have any suggestions about what I could do to get rid of this dry skin? Thanks in advance!

Hello all! I have been watching this community for a couple years now and finally have a need to ask a question. This is regarding my 58 year old mother. She had been told at her last gyn appointment about a month ago that she has a polyp that needs to be removed though a procedure similar to a D&C. Then over the next couple of weeks she started feeling like something was "falling out of her vagina". She went back and was told her uterus is longer than normal, and it is her bladder that is "falling out" of her vagina. The doctor gave her a plastic thing to insert in her vagina to hold things in place but also suggested they remove her uterus rather than do the D&C procedure (currently scheduled at the end of this month). They would also stitch her bladder back into place regardless of whether she decides to remove the uterus.
So my question is: she doesn't really want to have a body part removed unless necessary. She is concerned about the recovery of this surgery as well as how her body will operate w/out the uterus. Has anyone had just their uterus removed (cervix & ovaries still in place)? How do they remove it (through the vagina or a cut on the abdomen)? Does it mess w/your hormones and/or libido?
Any advice would be appreciated as she is trusting me to help her make this decision. TIA!
