If you had an average 28 day cycle, you would ovulate about 14 days after the first day of your last menstrual cycle.
Conception (or the sex act that leads to conception) would be a day or two BEFORE ovulation, the day off ovulation and possibly a day after.
So, depending how "early" it was in April, you would have conceived in the middle towards 3/4 of the month. It depends,...

You can't "stop" him. You can talk with him about how it makes you feel. You can ask him why he does it. You can ask him what purpose it serves for him. Tell him if it makes you uncomfortable. If you think he looks at it execessively or it is becoming a problem in your relationship, tell him.
Looking at porn is fairly normal for most men. As long as it doesn't...

If the pain persists, worsens or is accompanied with bleeding from the gums etc - see a dentist. Could be an infection in your gums (far less likely than sinuses).

I have a fab navy dress that goes to just over the knee. i dont like showing off my knees. i am wearing navy tights but: What kind and colour shoe do i wear? Please help!
Navy or black if you are wearing navy tights.
If you wear nude stockings, you can wear nude shoes or white.
If white stockings, white shoes.
In this case, though, I recommend navy. It creates a long, monochromatic line. Anything lighter will chop you off at the ankles.

It bothers me when someone brings it up and they don't actually know what they are talking about. They spout old myths or outdated medical advice or some wives tale and have no clue.
But just in general? No. Not usually. I don't mind discussing, helping educate others and gathering information from those who do know more than I do or have more experience.

I have to add my voice to the chorus - you and your husband did the right thing.
Unless there was some special, extenuating circumstance and his family NEEDED your help and support at home, and you had agreed to it before marrying, there is no reason for him to feel guilty.
This is the natural course of growing up. You marry, you move out, you have children and build a family of your own.

My husband's cell phone rang twice in the midnight, I answered but noone answer, is this a sign he's cheating?
Did you try calling the number back? Most cell phones have caller ID.
We get wrong numbers ALL the time and people have lost the basic manners of saying, "Sorry, wrong number".
There are only so many combinations for phone numbers using an a 3 digit area code and a 7 digit number. The phone companies reassign the numbers very quickly once one contract is ended to another...

Babies waste chnages color over the first couple of weeks and then later as you add new foods to their diet.

I have a direct debit coming out of my bank, say 1st July, but I have insufficient credit at 9.00am in the morning. I bank more than sufficient funds, say at 2.30pm in the same afternoon. Would my bank return my direct debit unpaid?
It depends on your bank and when they pull Electronic Debits out - at midnight going in to the date or at the close of business that date or somewhere in between.
Also, it depends on when they credit your deposit. One of the two banks/credit unions I use cut off deposits at 2:00 pm (after 2:00 pm, they are credited the next business day).
Call your bank and ask.

Brand to brand is not the issue. Dosage to dosage, delivery system and types of estrogen make the differece.
You should try staying on one type for at least three months to let your body acclimate before you switch to something else.
I found I had to be on a VERY LOW doseage. I also found a triphsal pill worked best for me with mood swings once I got used to it.

Your father should not ever say things like that or speak that way to his child - no matter how old you are. And separating from your mother is no excuse.
You need to tell someone and you need to make a safety plan. Tell another relative, tell a teacher or your mom. If your dad gets particularly angry or if you feel phsyically threatend, you need to leave and go to a safe place....

A woman typically ovulates about 14`days after the first day of her period. She is "fertile" about 2 days before ovulation through about 2 days after ovulation.
So, if your girlfriend began her period on the first of the month, she would likely be fertile between the 15th and the 19th....

There are some whereby you would be a carrier and pass it on or you would be asymptomatic (no symptoms) and pass it, but that doesn't mean it "skipped" you. You are still at risk.

There is a minimum amount a person must earn before being taxed and there are some exceptions, but if you are earning an income from labor, you are subject to income tax.

Yeast infections are common during pregnancy.

Your doctor will confirm it is a yeast infection and give you a suitable, pregnancy-safe, prescription.
Your yeast infection will not hurt the baby unless you do not get it cleared up before you deliver.

If you live with your boyfriend and his mother, in his house and you want to leave for the summer. Would you still pay your share of the expenses even if your away and not living with them at the time?
I would expect to continue to pay rent and to pay my share of any basic set monthly fees I committed to, but not to water or electricity or food as I would not be consuming those.

Is there anyway to help get this young man out of prison? He had consentual sex at 17 with two young girls 12 and 14. He was not charged until he was 20 and never was in trouble before. Now he is doing 8 1/2 to 18 years in a state prison for having sex?
He isn't in jail for "having sex". He is in jail for statutory rape. A 17 year old having sex with a 12 year old is wrong, even if she consented. A 12 year old is susceptible to undue pressure from someone so much older than her. She is still a child at 12.

Does your mother-in-law humiliate you infront of people? Close family, strangers, even your spouse?? Do they start doing that when you enter the family?
She didn't humiliate me immediately, but she sort of set the stage with family gossip (all based on her opinion) and does not do anything to assist me or prevent another family who thrives on nastiness.
However, I don't fault her for it. I don't like it and I hate visiting because of it, but it is who she is. I fault my husband more for not nipping it in the bud many years...

It depends on how bad it is.
Mild flare ups can be arrested by using a brace, doing physcial therapy, using an anti-inflammatory and stopin the injury causing activity.
However, once a case has set in and been neglected and allowed to worsen, it may be difficult for these remedies to have sufficient effect.

True of false: If the US military took a month vacation, and didn't use any oil, we would end up with a glut of oil. The military is the biggest consumer of oil in this country.

My dog is throwing up, more acidic, than food, 4-5 days. First it was carrots, then rawhide bone - those are gone, but he's still throwing up. 1st he was restless at night, now he's shivering. He's eating & drinking. Any ideas?
Take him to the vet and have his liver enzymes checked.
In the meantime, feed him a simple meal of boiled chicken (white meat) and brown rice. This is easy for them to digest.
Avoid rawhide all together from now on. Not only is it chemically treated, but it can bind in dogs intestines and block them. Bad stuff. Try a Kong stuffed with peanut butter instead.

It is a great stress reliever and sometimes I still need to feel that sense of freedom that a good drive with good music can provide. It is easy escapism.

Take the number of hours you work each day and set that aside as "no chore" time. She has her "work" to do then, too. But once you have met your work hours, then it should be shared evenly between the two of you.

Answer to:
I had recently used a clear nexcare bandage on my arm and my skin got irritated from the bandage and now my skin is lighter on where the bandage was. Is there anything I can do to get my skin tone color back to normal or will it come back on it's own?
Wash gently with a mild soap like Ivory.
Don't cover it again with anything.
Give it a few days, the tissue needs to re-oxygenate and get blood back to it. It will be fine, but depending on how long you had the bandage on, it could take a few days.
When people have bandages, wraps, braces and casts on for pro-longed periods, it often take a few weeks for the skin to refresh.

Can an employer in Virginia legally schedule shifts so that overtime is impossible?
Yes. Overtime is not a "right". IF you work overtime, you have a right to be compensated for it. Most states have a formula based on either 40 hours per week, number of hours in a shift (exceeding 8, 10 or 12) and/or number of hours OFF in between shifts.
That said, many employers can not afford to pay overtime nor do they want to and, in many cases, they don't need...

The thing is, "dual citizenship" isn't something you "officially" have. In your case, you may be considered a dual national if Australia grants you that based solely on marriage (check Australian law). However, your fiance' will not have U.S. citizenship...

Answer to:
A new co-worker has not been in the office for two days now, can I consider her to be sick or no longer employed at my job?
I agree with Stillme...
If she is your "Co-worker" than it is not within the purview of your job to determine if she is out sick, quit, fired or fallen off the face of the earth.
If you need to know for some reason, ask your supervisor or human resources manager.

Answer to:
Have you ever got drunk just so you could have sex with your so?
Not JUST so we could, but I guess there have been a couple of times when I drank a little more than two glasses with the anticipation of having a fun night with him...I rarely get "drunk", but he seems to like it when I do, so I do so once every couple of years just for funsies. And I know I am safe with him in every aspect, which lowers those inhibitions as well.

If someone says "I'm not in a good mood and don't want to talk", should you take it personally? what can you do to make it better besides talking?
No - take it as a compliment. I can only say this to my husband, my mother and one girlfriend. Everyone else I have to put on a face for and don't have the nerve or the gumption to be honest with like that.
If they want company - just sit with them. Offer to watch a movie, go for a walk or just make a sandwhich and sit together.
If they want to be alone; respect that wish....

My wife will be having our first child (a girl) in 3 months and I would like to get her something. What are some suggestions?
I am 28 weeks pregnant, so this is more what I would have liked to get from my husband:
1) A pedicure...I can't reach my toes so well any more and it's sandal season! Nothing looks really good on me at this point, but I still want pretty toes.
2) Help weeding the garden...Spring is here...heck, SUMMER is here and our yard has been neglected because, apparently, my husband is...

What is your motivation for doing a good deed?
I don't really feel "motivated" so much as I often feel *compelled*. The thought to do the good deed or act of kindness just pops in my head and then I can't NOT do it.

Who else here owned and loved thier pair of Mork & Mindy rainbow suspenders when they were a kid?
I DID!
I had a kids pair when I was...maybe 4 & 5 years old...maybe even in to age 6. They were rainbow, just like Robin Williams, but they had a little plastic cloud over one of the brass clips and a little plastic sunshine over the other :o)
Isn't it weird that would be consider "gay pride" now? Will we never have a "rainbow" trend again????

The key is to stop trying so hard. Just relax...I know at 17 it seems everyone has a boyfriend, but you - but there really is PLENTY of time ahead of you. Maybe you are a late bloomer!
Just worry about school, your family and friends. Take good care of yourself and have FUN. Join a club or a team or an extra-curricular group where you may meet guys who are interested in the same things...

Do they still have traditional sweet shops where they serve you 1/4 lb of sweets? I haven't seen one of those shops for many years!
I still see them in tourist destinations. Small downtwon areas with gift shops and art galleries etc. They are usually super expensive. And there are still candy counters inside gift shops. But a traditional sweet shop? Not really.

Is it bad to brain wash a child that the United States is the worst country in the world for children to live, and that Sweden is the best country in to world to live. This en example of a good or bad parent. The parent does not want the child to hate the
"Brain washing" of ANY kind is bad.
Raising a child to be proud of the country the live in and/or to strive to live a good life is normal and healthy. If a parent wants to teach their child love of Sweden, promote all things Swedish. No need to bash anyone else.
Teaching a child to hate anything arbitrarily is bad. Parents should teach children the TRUTH and train them to make...

I've heard that (American[only?]) men are fascinated with the visual, while women are much more sane & realistic. Is this true?
Human mens brains are ALL encoded to be visually stimulated. It goes back to their days in caves and as hunters. Nothing to do with being American.
As for women being more sane & realistic, I don't see what correlation that has to men being visual. Men are visual, women tend to be driven by communication.
These are REAL scientific differences that scientists can see in brain...

Isn't it a urban legend that money donated to charities actually goes to those in need?
In the U.S., any group registered as a non-profit must show how the dollars are used. At least 20% usually goes to administrative costs - and often much more. To be fair, it DOES cost money to operate a charity. There's rent, payroll, utilities, advertising etc.
If you have a specific charity you are concerned about, ask to see a copy of thier annual report. If you want to make a...

My mom is a crazy bitch, why in the hell should I go see her today, I would not any other day...
Mothers Day is the one day a year set aside to recognize and honor the sacrifices mothers make for their kids the other 364 days each year.
Being a *good* mother means making sacrifices and putting your kids first. If you can honestly say that your mother has never done that for you, then don't worry about not honoring her on this day.

Puppy mills OVER breed - meaning mother dogs live shorter lives.
They are notoriuous for failing to provide routine and necessary medical care.
They do not breed purposefully for blood lines - they breed solely to make money.
They keep animals in small and dirty quarters - these dogs do not run free over the farm or frolic or play or learn to socialize at...
