Record for most babies
I totally agree with you.Some states must pay alot of money to women that have alot of kids.Here,it's just $24 a month for each additional child.It's $60 a month for the first child.

Ovaries Removed at Age 25?
Sorry I haven't responded sooner.I've been busy this past week.I have not had any side effects from Yasmin at all.I have recently been put on a different pill schedule bcse of my endometriosis.I'm taking them straight through for 3 months before having a period.I'm confused as to why your doctor is so anxious to remove your ovaries.I would definitely see another doctor.

Parent vs. Non-parent L&D nurses: Does it make a difference?
I don't know how much this helps.I don't have any kids yet and possibly may not because of some health problems.My best friend has 2 kids.She wanted her sister to be there so bad for the first delivery since her sister had given birth.her sister had an epidural and hadn't felt any pain with her delivery.She ended up not being much help to my best friend. I felt bad for her bcse I have had other female procedures that were painful.She didn't ask her sister to be there for the second delivery but insisted that I be there again since I was so helpful.I don't think it necessarily makes a difference.I think you just have to be understanding and caring. I thought it did matter and I thought women who have given birth had such a bond that other women didn't.My best friend's sister was laughing at her when she had a contraction.Evidently,she had no understanding of labor pain bcse she had a pain free delivery. I guess it's like saying you have to have had cancer to be a good oncology nurse.

Ovaries Removed at Age 25?
I also have PCOS and endometriosis.I would highly recommend getting a second opinion.I was in your situation before.A doctor wanted to remove my right ovary at age 23 and I didn't have anybody to have a baby with.I also felt terrible at the time.This doctor put me on Ortho-Triclen for 2 months.It made me sick.She offered no other medication and recommended a partial hysterectomy. I changed doctors.My new one put me on Yasmin and I have lost 60 lbs.My symptoms are alot better now.My uterus is upside down.She said that it may just mean I'll have to have a C-section or maybe not even that.Hopefully,my fiance and I will be ttc in about 2 yrs. I will also say that adoption is a great thing if that turns out that surgery is what's best for you.I wish you all the luck in the world.

How to deal with being childless in L&D
I get that alot just being a cashier.I'll make a comment or talk to a customer's child.Then they ask if I have kids.Then they ask why not.Then I feel like I have to tell them I have medical problems.(I have endometriosis and PCOS.) I'm still undecided but I feel like it's no one's business either way.That is one thing I dread when I start clinicals and the OB rotations. This is something that totally blew my mind.My friend had a lady partsl delivery and was complaining how bad it was.Her other friend was agreeing with her.She said to her, "You had a C-section.What would you know?" I thought that was crazy. I totally respect your decision and understand how you feel.
