  1. IUD Pregnancies

    HopefulMichelle posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Reading the thread about withdrawal being safe (which I know it is not...have known too many people who have gotten pregnant using this method) got me to thinking about the people who say they have...

  2. Pay at Huntsville area hospitals

    HopefulMichelle replied to mandasueRN's topic in Alabama Nursing

    April-I do have a question...I want to work post partum...do they hire new grads to this area? I am applying to Calhoun for next year.

  3. IUD Pregnancies

    HopefulMichelle replied to HopefulMichelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think we have to be careful of judging people's choices. I agree with whomever said that those people who go through IVF would not be considered pregnant until the baby implanted and grew. I feel...

  4. IUD Pregnancies

    HopefulMichelle replied to HopefulMichelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think that the bottom line is that no one exactly knows how the IUD works. My doctor even said that. So to say that it interferes with implantation is a theory on how it works but noone knows for...

  5. IUD Pregnancies

    HopefulMichelle replied to HopefulMichelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Arwen, If the IUD was "tricking" your body into thinking you were pregnant or something was there would these be the cases where woman had no periods? I know that it is not uncommon for Mirena users...

  6. IUD Pregnancies

    HopefulMichelle replied to HopefulMichelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, the IUDs do interfere with implanatation. If they only worked by interfering with sperm motility and cervical mucus impairment, then people wouldn't be getting pregnant with them, now would they?...

  7. IUD Pregnancies

    HopefulMichelle replied to HopefulMichelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Arwen, I agree with you actually. If it is meant to be it will be....God is bigger than anything and if he wants you to conceive an IUD won't stop it. As for the Mirena from what I have read it...

  8. RNs-Doctors, Mother/Baby Vs. L&D, and other Questions

    HopefulMichelle posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am applying for the nursing program next year (starting summer 2008). I have been posting on here asking questions and have gotten some really good responses. I also enjoy reading the threads of the...

  9. RNs-Doctors, Mother/Baby Vs. L&D, and other Questions

    HopefulMichelle replied to HopefulMichelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't know if she offers internships...that is why I said if she were willing. She may not but it couldn't hurt to check into it I suppose. Also I know that I wouldn't be working with her the...

  10. RNs-Doctors, Mother/Baby Vs. L&D, and other Questions

    HopefulMichelle replied to HopefulMichelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Monica-Thanks for stating the pros and cons. That is really what I am looking for...the good, bad and ugly, hehe. Unfortunately there is no way to know things until you actually get into it and start...

  11. IUD Pregnancies

    HopefulMichelle replied to HopefulMichelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for all of the feedback. I guess for me the bottom line is that I feel like conception is bigger than me. I have had 2 miscarriages (one where the baby didn't develop past 5 weeks that we found...

  12. RNs-Doctors, Mother/Baby Vs. L&D, and other Questions

    HopefulMichelle replied to HopefulMichelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow....that does sound very fast paced. I know there will be so many different things come up that I am not even anticipating (or know to anticipate at this point since I haven't entered nursing...

  13. IUD Pregnancies

    HopefulMichelle replied to HopefulMichelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh my goodness. Such a heartbreaking story and I am very sorry. I am very educated on Fertility Awareness Method. My husband and I actually used it for a year prior to me getting the IUD. The problem...

  14. RNs-Doctors, Mother/Baby Vs. L&D, and other Questions

    HopefulMichelle replied to HopefulMichelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Miranda, I am keeping an open mind about it all but as fascinated as I am with women's health, pregnancy and postpartum I will be shocked if I find another area that I love more. It could happen...

  15. IUD Pregnancies

    HopefulMichelle replied to HopefulMichelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have had quite a stressful situation with birth control which led me to choose the IUD. It probably wouldn't have been my first choice actually but I feel at peace that it was the best choice for me...

  16. IUD Pregnancies

    HopefulMichelle replied to HopefulMichelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Actually from what I have read and what my doctor says it is not exactly known how they work. There are many possibilities. With the copper IUD there are many theories.....the copper interferes with...

  17. IUD Pregnancies

    HopefulMichelle replied to HopefulMichelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ann, Just curious...why would you not be able to carry to term? I know that there is like a 50% chance of miscarriage when it is removed but that means you have a 50% chance of carrying the baby too....

  18. RNs-Doctors, Mother/Baby Vs. L&D, and other Questions

    HopefulMichelle replied to HopefulMichelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Miranda, Thank you for your insight and taking the time to reply. I really think once I adjusted that I would really enjoy working nights. I know it would take some time since I am accustomed to...

  19. RNs-Doctors, Mother/Baby Vs. L&D, and other Questions

    HopefulMichelle replied to HopefulMichelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you for taking the time to reply. I figured that the pay would be significantly different in the office vs hospital. I really thought the same thing regarding nights and the kids. The problem is...

  20. IUD Pregnancies

    HopefulMichelle replied to HopefulMichelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am very sorry for your losses. I can't even imagine what a shock it was to find out you were pregnant with an IUD and then have to deal with a miscarriage.Which IUD did you have if you don't mind me...

  21. I am nervous....Can I do this?

    HopefulMichelle posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I haven't even been accepted into the nursing program yet but my head is swirling! I think I want to be an OB nurse but how do you know if you are cut out for it? I am a 32 year old mother of 2 and...

  22. I am nervous....Can I do this?

    HopefulMichelle replied to HopefulMichelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for all of the replies! I am sure what I am feeling is normal. I just want to do a good job....I know that I will be continuously learning. What are your experiences in working with doctors?...

  23. Any other Calhoun RN students out there?

    Jamie, Thanks for the tip! I will definitely do that!

  24. Huntsville: What Am I Up Against?

    HopefulMichelle posted a topic in Alabama Nursing

    I will be applying for the Delayed Progression Nursing Program at Calhoun for 2008. I am a mother of 2 and currently work in social services. This will be a second career for me. I really have a...

  25. Huntsville: What Am I Up Against?

    HopefulMichelle replied to HopefulMichelle's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Jedi, Yes it is new! Please let me know what your friend thinks of it if you get a chance. I didn't know about the online work but that will work out fine. I did email the nursing advisor over the...
