I got an ectopic pregnancy and was operated on,my right tube was removed,is it true that when one of the tubes is removed,one produces only one single sex? No, that's completely false. The gender of a baby is determined by the man's sperm. An egg carries an X chromosome, and the man's sperm can carry an X or a Y. XX= girl XY= boy.

I am a us citizen, i married a venezuelan in venezuela. she plans on coming to the US on tourist visa. can i marry her in the US as well to make the green card process easier? No, you're already married. The US doesn't care how many times you get married, it's the first one that counts. That means that you need to apply for a K3 visa for her. There's no way they would adjust her status if she comes on a tourist visa, they'd simply look and think ''they're married and they're trying to cheat the system. Fraud''....

But unfortunately, many (very vocal) Christians do not feel the same way with regards to non Christians. While I will not try to impose my beliefs on the Church or Christians (for...

I think it's normal, you're both just different. You need to decide whether you can live with him and be happy, as he is now. It's no use trying to change him. Passion can't really be manufactured, and if you push too hard he'll probably resent you anyway.

See your doctor if you're really worried.

One month and my boyfriend and I had plans on moving in together but wants me to have an abortion because of the drama he goes through with his baby's mother. I've had an abortion before and don't want to do it again; am i selfish? He makes a lot of money No, you're not selfish. He's the one being selfish. If you don't want an abortion, don't have one -- but you need to be prepared to be a single mother if you keep the baby. Yes, he might give you financial support, but there are no guarantees he will help look after the baby. If you make a decision you're not comfortable with, you might regret it for the rest of your...

My bff 4 2yrs went out of state 4 collge, I miss him so much. I dont tell him, he does, whenever we write or talk. I like him alot. 4 xmas, he said I love you. I was shocked and didn't respond. He quickly said that not in That way. Did I miss the chance? Nope. You can tell him today, or tomorrow, or the day after that. It's tough to do because you're risking being rejected, and rejection hurts. Really though, it's better to know you tried then to live with ''what ifs'', especially when one of the ''what ifs'' is that he might feel the same way.

A married couple I know have 3 children. 2 boys 19,17 and a girl, 11. They are going abroad and are taking the girl with them. Not the boys. The boys think this is unfair. Do you agree with the parents or boys? For a holiday or to live? If it's just a holiday then the 19 and 17 year old are both capable of working and paying for their holidays, so my sympathy is limited. Not to mention the 19 year old is an adult! Does he expect his parents to be paying for his holidays into his 20's? It really depends on the parents reasons.

If we repealed "Megan's Law" and replaced it with a "Lock-'em-Up-Throw-Away-the- Key-Law", would we be able to delightfully hear mothers' sweet admonishment "Go out and play...but make sure you're back for dinner!" again? No -- paedophiles can only be locked up for being paedophiles when people know what they are. That means they have to offend first, so although some offenders would be off the streets there would still be many more waiting to offend.

Or do his rules simply apply to only those whose lifestyles you disagree with because of your own bigoted and ignorant views?

Answer to:
Some girls have breast pain before their period but after their period if it doesnt hurt anymore but they are pregnant does that still happen? When you're pregnant your breasts are usually incredibly tender for some of the time as they grow and prepare to feed a baby. The pain isn't correlated with any sort of menstrual cycle though, you don't have sore breasts once a month when your period would have been if you weren't pregnant.

Answer to:
Is it easy to get pregnant on your first try although you used a condom? please tell me i need to know It is a REALLY bad idea to have sex without knowing everything you can find about contraception and how getting pregnant works. Condoms are very effective, but no birth control method is 100% effective -- so yes, though highly unlikely, pregnancy is a possibility. But if you're actively trying to get pregnant, why on Earth would you use condoms at all?

If there is a foetus/embryo in your fallopian tube, it's called an ectopic pregnancy. That means if you let it stay there, YOU would likely die anyway.

When you are in the bathroom, if there are other people in the washroom with you do you flush the toliet so they don't hear you pee? I didn't realise many other people did this! Yes, I do. I think it stems from going to a school where everyone would put the hand dryer on before they went to the toilet. Even when I'm at home I get nervous about the cats hearing me pee :)

Is it wrong to marry your first cousin if you are really in love? No. It's perfectly legal in England (where I'm from). It seems a little bit odd to me, but only because I can't imagine my nieces and nephews marrying. There's nothing inherently wrong with it though, if you love each other then go for it!

Iam getting married, but i was talking to another woman. I stopped talking to her and i need to find out how to regain the trust of my fiance Is ''talking to'' her a euphemism for screwing her? If you were actually just talking to her and weren't having a sexual conversation, then it's your fiancee with the problem and not you. If you were screwing another woman, then there might not be a way to regain her trust. Some couples manage to do it, but it takes time. It's not like you can go and...

Women: Would you get married to someone who respects, values, and loves you even if they don't have a stable career or source of income? Is a stay at home dad good enough or do you expect more from a husband? Does it really matter? I think it depends. For him to love, respect and value me isn't enough, I have to feel those same things about him for it to work. If I didn't, then I wouldn't marry him. If my current partner lost his job tomorrow and had no income, I would still marry him regardless. I'd do my best to support us through the difficult period because I love him and I know he'd do the...

I wouldn't want to say it to the soldier's grieving parents however, because I wouldn't want to add more pain to their situation... it's not a matter of being brave.

Is it right for parents to not let children eat meat just because the parent is vegetarian? If I have children, they won't eat meat for the first few years of their life. When they're old enough to understand what meat is and where it comes from (the facts, not vegetarian horror propaganda) then they can decide for themselves. I believe it would be wrong to enforce my own beliefs on someone who was able to make an informed decision.

Vegetarians - do you ever occasionally think that a hamburger or steak or whatever would taste good, or do you have just about no desire for it at all? I like the taste of meat (although a steak with blood oozing out of it? EWW), but the reality of what meat is repulses me. I actually don't crave meat, apart from BBQ chicken drumsticks when I'm drunk and when I'm really sick I crave tuna.

Why does everyone get so upset over the idea of a significant age difference between people dating? It's only wrong because the law says it is, and it used to be the norm. If both people are emotionally mature enough, I really see nothing wrong with it. It's not necessarily illegal, my partner is 31 years older than me and it's legal where we live.

In the U.S., should all people over 18 be required to vote? Or do you think it is better if only people who care about the issues and are informed vote? I would like everyone to vote, I think it's important. However, part of freedom should be to have a choice about certain things, and one of those things should be whether to vote or not.

Shocking - a seven year old boy has been on a killing spree (killing 13 animals) at a zoo in Australia yet he cannot be punished due to his young age. How should be be punished for this in your opinion? I think it's fine he can't be prosecuted, but his parents should be. They were supposed to be supervising him. The boy should also have a psychiatric evaluation and therapy. Children by nature are not that evil, there's definitely something wrong with him.

Is it normal for a 17 year old to still have a bed time set by their mother? No. I'd say that's a woman with issues. Part of a person's development is making such decisions for themselves and experiencing the consequences (e.g stay up really late and fall asleep in school the next day, fail a test etc). You should have been choosing your own bed time for years now, in my opinion. At least you can see it's odd.

Fortunately I also believe it's possible to undo the racist conditioning a 4 year old has, provided they're taken away from whoever is indoctrinating them.

I am recentely divorced. I was paying my ex-wife seperate maintance. She is wanting me to continue paying until she can get on social security. Does she have any legal rights?

If the divorce decree says you have to give her X amount of money for X amount of time, then that's what you have to do. If there's no such stipulation then it's unlikely you have to give her any money at all, but check with a lawyer to be sure. Many offer free consultations.

Is my exwife legally responsible for half of medical expenses not covered by my medical insurance if the divorce degree says that she is? A collection agency is telling me that I am responsible for her half because she will not pay.

The collection agency are unlikely to care who's responsible, they just want the money. Your best bet is getting a lawyer and going back to court.

I do think chicken pox is a poor example here, that's an illness not really a ''lesson''. That said, I am strongly opposed to a chicken pox vaccine. The first time I heard it was given routinely in the US I think my jaw dropped a little. In England (where I'm from) the vaccine is not given. Generally chicken pox will go round the schools and infect the children...

I've been dating a wonderful girl for the past 19 months...I have been married twice but have never had the nerve to tell her about the first one in fear of her thinking I was a failure. Time has gone by so fast and I feel I must tell her. Advice? Just be honest, there's not much else you can do. Tell her when you're both relatively stress free (no major family/work issues), and be honest about why you didn't tell her, give her the facts.

I am 17 years old an i am 6 months pregnant. The father of my unborn son wants nothin to do with him. He yet tells me that there is something he can do to take him away because im a minor an he is 19. Is there any law that can do so? No, he can't take away the child just because you're a minor -- at least not in any place I know about. In any case, you're not far off from being an adult and in some states you are at the age of consent. You'd have to give a location for more specific and accurate answers.

You should probably spend more time working on the trust issues (or deciding whether...

If the baby was someone elses and you'd cheated on him -- then it just sounds like he's trying to get revenge. He either agrees to move on or he admits he doesn't trust you and you take it from there... If the baby was his then wtf? Just because you GOT pregnant does that give YOU an excuse to...

Answer to:
Is it right to stay with someone just because you are pregnant with their child even though you know it wont work in the end? Staying with somebody for the sake of the children is never a good idea, no matter how practical it might seem. Children are perceptive, they know when their parents are unhappy. If you split up and you both move on, it's likely you'll end up happier, maybe even with a more compatible partner. Being a single mother is tough, but some would say it's better than living a lie.

If (1) is true, you've seriously overstepped the boundaries. If (2) is true, you should be telling people ''excuse me, that's my daughter's private business. If...

My son is very hyper is there anything i can do besides taking him to the doc. so they can drug him? Hes 6yr I would agree with the suggestion of altering his diet. Cut out sugar, soda and try him on a more natural diet full or unprocessed foods (it'll probably cause some issues at first). Consulting a dietitian who is experienced with children is your best bet, they can offer tips on encouraging your son to eat things he would ordinarily find unappetising. Your doctor might be able to offer you...

What time should a 14 year old go to bed school nights? In order to be at my most productive, I need to be asleep between 9- 9.30pm and up around 7am -- that's been the same since I can remember. For some people, that's too much or too little sleep. At 14, I don't really think you can put someone squarely in the ''child'' category anymore. In the UK, where I come from, the age of sexual consent is 16. At 16, a...

My boyfriend's ex wife is trying to control the way he is raising their son by threatening to take him away. I have 2 boys also (same age, all of them are 7 y/o) and I am divorced. My bf does everything his ex asks and it's driving me crazy! Help me! When your boyfriend got divorced there will probably have been something in the settlement which details custody and visitation rights for both your boyfriend and his ex. It's up to him to stick to his end of the agreement -- and the ex wife can't threaten to take the boy away if a court has ordered he should live with his father. If the ex-wife has primary custody but is granting...

When i say the word Gay what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Honesty is appreciated nobody will bash you for it either. Regardless of what I think about the word ''gay'' or what comes to mind, I do feel the need to point out you can't guarantee other people won't bash users who answer this question. Their behaviour is not something you have control over, and unfortunately this is a topic where there are a lot of fights.

I have an 11mo. old who's the happiest little girl in the world but when she's not getting full attention she screams (loud), my husband slaps her on her hand & she stops. He does not slap her hard, she doesn't cry, she stops screaming. Is this ok? Is it ok? That's your decision to make, as her mother. Personally, it wouldn't be okay with me if my partner did that to our daughter. It would be very NOT okay, actually. But so long as neither of you are breaking the law, how to discipline your daughter is your decision. The legality of smacking is different in different countries -- in most places it's legal so long as...

My boyfriend of a year and half kissed another girl? cheating? he knows i know and i asked him to stop talking to the girl and now it doesnt talk to her often but when he does talk to her its always when i leave for school or work. how do i handle this? Cheating doesn't really have a fixed definition, it's basically what you and your partner decide is NOT okay. For example, most people have an agreement they won't sleep with anybody else while they're in their relationship. If either of them did so, they would be cheating. But I know people on Answerbag who have an open relationship, they sleep with other people on a...

I've heard people say that an unborn baby isn't alive until they are born (as a justification of abortion). If this is true, do you think they would be distressed if someone intentionally killed their unborn child, or would it not matter to them? Anybody who has a basic education in biology cannot dispute that a foetus or embryo is alive. Pretty much every cell in the body is alive -- obviously the cells in a foetus are alive, the sperm was ''alive'', the egg was ''alive'' so the product of the two also has to be alive. Whether it's a separate human being who should have rights is more of a...

Do you think being bisexual is just a phase for turning gay? Do you believe it is because the person can't decide? Do you believe a person can be a bisexual forever or will he/she eventually make up his/her mind to only like one sex? No, I think that's ridiculous. Some people are attracted to both men and women, and continue to be so throughout their life.

I know people have the Right to FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND EXPRESSION, but where does the whole Disrespect come in at Military Funerals? My brothers/sisters in arms volunteer to serve to keep you all Free so you can PROTEST at their funerals. I hate that!!!! I don't think anybody should protest at anybody's funeral... no matter who they are. Nor do I believe military personnel should get any special treatment. It's their job, they chose that job -- much like somebody who chooses to be a plumber.

Plus, it's not exactly a punishment. Once you're dead, you're dead. There's no definitive proof that child rapists will burn...

I tend to buy free range eggs whenever possible and as milk goes, there's not a lot of choice here so I get what's on the shelf.

Im pregnant & broke up with my ex because he lied too much & went crazy & punched a hole in the wall. I have my first ultrasound coming up and he wants to come along. Should I let him be there? I just don't feel comfortable around him anymore. Really it depends what he lied about and the rest of his behaviour. Sometimes when I've calmed down after an argument I can see the remaining feelings of ''stay away from me'' are sour grapes and me holding a grudge rather than those feelings being founded in anything. The question is, are your feelings founded to such an extent it would stop you being civil to him, for...

Nobody I know has ever had second thoughts, though with that amount of goop and scabs on your body then I fully understand why you would. The problem is if the second thought stays. In this case I'd advise some positive thinking to try to convince yourself you're fine with it.

Im debating of whether or not to date a mormon. I am catholic. Since he cannot marry in my religion and I cant into his. Im open to his religion..but I dont think I would ever convert. Is civil marriage an option for him? Well many (most?) people who are strict about their religion and follow it to the letter wouldn't consider even dating outside their religion. Thus, he may be more open to a civil ceremony than a lot of Mormons even if it against mainstream Mormon teaching.

Should you still tip a good server 15-20% if your dinner bill for a couple is in the range of $1,000.00, or is a $50-60 tip acceptable? I'm sure in America it's etiquette to give a 15-20% tip regardless of how much the bill is... they're big tippers. In the UK though I've found tipping isn't as socially mandatory (I'm English). Personally, I'd give them a $50 tip and be done with it. I think a tip is nice, but a tip over $75 is just silly, it's not my job to make up for low wages.

My 8 yr old Grandson has a bowel movement problem. Dr. says nothing wrong.. But still at least 3 days out of the week he has an accident at school, always with an excuse.

I knew a boy around that age who used to poop his pants on purpose, they took him to the doctor and there was nothing wrong. He later admitted he'd been doing it on purpose (even at school). As for bedwetting, that can often be a sign that something is bothering him. I wet the bed until I'd just turned 7, my home life was stressful. The two combined might be a sign he needs some...

Someone I used to know thought it looked attractive, if one of her nails split she'd reason that it'd be prettier to still have the others long. Personally, I never grow my nails.

However, while they're ok to ''snack on'' to give your mouth something to do so you're not tempted to eat chocolate, it's not a good idea to use them as a main component of your diet. You still need to be getting enough calories to suffice your body's needs, or...

Do you think being a vegetarian is a healthy choice? Completely. It's perfectly fine so long as you get the proper nutrients you need, many of which can be found in capsules and other forms of food like cheese, eggs, milk, tofu etc. Obviously if you don't have a balanced diet it isn't healthy, but the same goes for people who eat meat. Eating hamburgers at McDonalds and such isn't a more diet than that of a vegetarian who...

If he's against abortion, it's important to establish if he would mind bringing said child up himself, as a single parent OR would he leave you to do most (if not all) of the parenting?

One of the terms of the Visa Waiver is that you don't change your Visa status whilst you're in the USA using the Visa Waiver. If you want to change your status, you have to go home and do it from there. If I understand correctly, you've been breaking the law for the past few years, something US immigration will not take lightly. You really do need to consult the US embassy.

I don't think you can. The situation making him miserable won't change unless he decides to change it (or his wife finally divorces him). This really isn't a situation anyone but him can dig himself out of, he's responsible for his own happiness. If that means divorce, he needs to start believing. His wife obviously doesn't take her vows seriously if she's cheating.

I would like to thank Poodie13:) Being pregnant is a wonderful and crazy time. I dont think a baby will make the relationship work but he knows I need his help, more financially. I think he wanted this baby, knowing I wouldnt get an abortion? There's a MASSIVE difference between a man knowing you're opposed to abortion and actually WANTING a baby. Yes, it's wise to discuss your views on abortion I suppose before sex if it's that important to you, and make sure you use reliable contraception... but just because he has sex with you and knows your against abortion, it truly does not mean by default that he...

My cellphone just fell into milk what shoud i do??? HELP!!! Take it to pieces, pull the battery out, and then stand each piece in a glass full of DRY rice. Leave it there for 24 hours. The rice is supposed to help dry out the milk, and if it still doesn't work after 24 hours I would place it in a warm place for another couple of days.

If you knew it would end badly, would you still take the chance and fall in love? I don't think you can manufacture falling in love, there's no chance in that sense to take. You either fall in love or you don't, you can't really control it either way in my experience. As to whether I'd continue in a relationship with the person I'd fallen in love with, it depends how I thought it would end. If I thought there was a high chance he'd leave...

What do you find as the most enjoyable sport to play? Why? I love rugby, tennis and trampolining. Tennis feels mentally stretching as well as being a good work out and energy absorber, rugby is great if you have energy or feel like a good argument, and trampolining is fabulous for wearing yourself out... it also feels vaguely creative.

I have very long hair. My uptight 84 yo aunt said she'll give me 100 euros if I have it cut. I replied I'll give her 200 euros if she gets green hair. She said she'll get green hair if I get mine cut. What do I say/do next? So you'll end up losing €100, and you'll have short hair that you don't want? This sounds like a silly plan, you lose money to get something you don't want in the first place.

Do you think that every kid needs a mother? I believe every child needs two loving parents, preferably who are in a stable relationship. Those parents can be two men, two women or one of each. I also believe a child should have both positive male and female influences in their life, so if for some reason a child has only a father (or two fathers), they should have a close adult female family friend or family member. Same goes with...

It was too disturbing and gross for me to continue to eat it and I became vegetarian when I was 7.

I prefer to bag my own groceries, though in the US I noticed they don't really give you any choice, they just do it for you.
