Identifying Your Fertile Days
Many couples spend so much time preventing an unplanned pregnancy that they assume that when they are ready for a family all they have to do is stop using birth control. Getting pregnant is not always that fast -- it can take up to a year or longer -- nor is it automatic.
To get pregnant, healthy sperm need to meet an egg in the fallopian tube.

Some couples joke that they can conceive just by looking at one another (we call those gals "Fertile Myrtles"), while others require careful planning and assistance to get there. If you're trying to get pregnant, I suggest tracking the telltale signs of ovulation and learning up on conception science. If only it really could be as simple as the birds and the bees.

Sedative Hypnotic Drug Warnings
In March 2007, the FDA ordered stronger warning labels on sedative hypnotic drugs. These medications include benzodiazepine and non-benzodiazepine drugs, such as zolpidem (Ambien), eszopiclone (Lunesta), ramelteon (Rozerem), and triazolam (Halcion). The FDA warned that these drugs may be associated with:
- Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) and severe facial swelling (angioedema), which can occur even the first time a drug is taken
- Complex sleep-related behaviors, such as sleep driving, making phone calls, and preparing and eating food while asleep
Patients who take sleeping pills should be sure to follow the directions.

Your Baby: How Old Is Your Baby
When conception takes place, it happens midway in your menstrual cycle or at approximately 2 weeks after your last period. When you calculate your due date, that 2 weeks is counted in the calculation, therefore your estimated due date will span 40 weeks (dating back to your last period), instead of the 38 weeks since conception.
