The wife and i have been wanting another little one for some time now but it has been 2 years doing it without help so we are getting all checked out I'm fine wifey has cysts & hormone levels are not great one is a little high and one a little low and so we are having trouble we have tried the billings method, cysts were removed when we had bub but they grew back so having them removed again isn't a great option what have other parents gone thru to have their bub when they were having fertility trouble?

hi every1 2 nights ago everything was going smoothly and the misses and i got our little boy to bed nice and early for once well it seemed we sat down and thought yes a night where we can sit down and relax it felt like the first time in ages anyway a couple hours later i decided to go lay down and he got up and came straight in and layed next to me surely enough a minutes after he came in and went back to sleep next to me i heard him cough so i had leant up to make sure that he was all right he coughed again but this time he was sick all over the top of our bed where our heads go anyway i felt his forehead and he was burning up so i asked his mum to run him a warm bath and after the bath he slept alright until he woke me up at 4:30am the next morning by rolling on my head and being very talkative to me i felt a little grumpy about it but at same time understanding because i knew he was sick the night b4 i felt his forehead again and he was still pretty warm but seemed o.k a little bit later i felt forehead again and he was still pretty hot so i asked his mum to ring the doctor surgery to see if we could get him into see a doctor just to get told we have to wait 3:00pm so we took him to his poppies house but he wasnt home so we went and looked for him because my brother wouldnt answer the door but we found him up the with my nan and he got given an icy pole and his mum and i thought oh yeah that should help with his temp we went back to his pops and put wiggles on while we were waiting 4 time to pass as it approached 3:00pm we got him in to the surgery and lined up i was holding him and i heard him cough but this time he did a little burp and i said to him  jokingly dont spew on me wait to we get in to the doctor well 2 seconds later surely enough he was sick on me so i went take him into the toilets and they were unisex toilets this confused me so i asked his mum if they were for every1 so went in there and i told him if needs to be sick again to spew in the bowl hes a gr8 listener hey he finished it up without making anymore mess gr8fully anyway we got given supposatrie panodol because he wasnt keeping anything down and other antibotics which we were instructed not to give him until he kept something down anyway later his temp was 41 later on that night the panodol didnt seem to be working so we decided to take him to ythe hospital and the ladie came straight out checked his temp and weight straight away and then gave him childrens panodol which was a suprise to us anyway usually they take longer and we ended up being there till 2am but thankfully he is o.k and they got onto it straight away for him but we never actually got told what was wrong which was a little dissapointing but main thing was that our little man was all right to come home with us.

hi every1 its been long time since i've been able to come on this site you see my com blew up completly so i had to buy new one. i've been well hope every1 else has been well. my son is nearly three now and everything with him is now in order health wise so thats awesome doesnt have to go for checkups anymore those long trips to perth were killers. taught him how to pedal his tricycle the other week he picked up instantly all i had to do is jump on my bike and show and he started pedalling himself he has grown up so fast but he is also very clever i've taught him to count to 10 also he makes mistakes like any two year olds but gets to 7-8 before he makes a mistake but we just correct him help him to ten then tell him he is a clever boy. he also has the most georgues laugh he is so awesome and he can also say a little bit of alphabet

bub is nearly 2 soon and still does not use the potty i have found some advice and there are a few inventions to help like apparently a musical dvd about poo it stinks etc and things for him to aim at if I put them in the loo but just the basics for now would be helpful. Where do I put potty? cold tiled laundry next to toilet or loungeroom where he can be warm and watch tv? and then there are concequences if he wee's on carpet as I rent  also when do I put him on? when I go or the latter plus random I was told every 30mins through out the day ?? umm I do have things to do!  I wish lil man could talk to me but for now its a guessing game

Getting an energetic toddlers attention is difficult so I have found a lil trick to help me get my message across crystal clear I have started going to my bub and kneeling at his level face to face and holding his lil chin then asking him not to do what ever destructive thing it was he was doing. having his eyes focused on me allowes him to concentrate on just me usually this will work! great huh!

Well it is another month and I find myself very unhappy with the mess and clutter no matter what I do each day to keep it down toys and dishes seem to multiply overnight,  I have even played with bub outside and taken him for walks but to no avail he just gets up from his nap and starts pulling everything he can find down onto the floor and I mean everything not just his toys! I can't help but wonder if he is Add / Adhd how would I tell?? How can I stop this unruley behaviour? Our messy dirty home makes me blue and although I provide a good example he still wont help us pick it all up. ARRRRR I know there will be mess but gosh this is ridiculas! If other parents have had or are having this experience plese comment on what you did Thanx

Well my bub is learning very fast he can say more words sit on a chair at the dinner table without being tied to it (we used to harness him for added support not be cruel or anything) and we have the potty out in case he makes a signel and he has used it a couple of times with us putting him on it not him going to it by himself but still he is getting the idea. He sits and watches tv instead of playing and I have to say he is learning from it (I think he is anyways) I have now got a different form of employment and things are going well life is good! Hmm what to get her for mothers day (our son is still too small to do anything and she deserves something nice) Anyways Happy Mothers Day to all Mothers for tomorrow

Well I have given up i have indeed tried every trick to get him to sign that he needs potty and sometimes I just plonk him on 20 min after food or drink I have managed to catch him a few times and he has used it but otherwise it has been unsucessful so for the time being have given up and shall try him again when we can communicate better.

Ahh the stage of potty training well it's not going too good at the moment and they don't seem to be made for boy's as he will sit to widdle at this stage and there is nothing stopping it from flying every which way. It does have a lip designed to catch it but it does not help so I find myself having to research anything on minti with the name potty in the title. He is currently 17mths and has started to put his hands in front of his nappy which I believe to be his sighn for needing to widdle but as yet have not caught him in time for the potty prehaps when he can talk I should try him as he will let us know he has to go maybe Arrrr very frustraiting but I have every confidence in the advice written by fellow minti members and we will get there!

Well so far I have had a bad start to my new year, my computer has gone and caught a worm from somewhere and to combat the problem for free I went online and downloaded several free trial anti virus thingys. At one point my computer was looking worse for ware only starting in safe mode as normal startup kept rebooting. when it finaly stoped rebooting I was sad to find that photos stored on my pc from our new digital cam could not be seen just some icon showing that it was ment to be a photo so i downloaded some graphics as well as antivirus stuff and as you can see it's now working well with all photos and memories restored. However now I find myself in the predicament of having too much protection as some sites such as neopets I am unable to view I quickly figured out to go to tools and then net options but thus far all combinations I have tried have failed to allow certain sites to load, but I need my computer protected very annoying!. I can't understand why these viruses and things get invented?

Because of computer failing to work lately I have been unable to enter any competitions online and research why my son has gone nuts ok well not nuts but naughty, I know the heat is partly the problem but just little things like deliberatly playing with power points he knows the word NO looks at me when I say it and then considers should i or shouldn't i then flicks it! when I go to discapline him he either runs away or he dives under something low standing such as the bed, coffee table chairs etc...  when I do finally get my hands on him I am even angrier as I had to chase him around the house.  help anyone?
