Is that the face of a grandmother? Say “Of
course not, my gosh, there is no possible way you could be
a grandmother,” or I’ll have to track you down and slap you.
HARD.

It's sad, but true: I am addicted to peeing on a stick. Each month, like clockwork, five days before my expected period, I fetch the rectangular pink box hidden beneath the toilet paper in my bathroom closet. I'm sure that I'm pregnant. And each time the result is the same…

We've written about baring bellies here before. Many times. We've even braved the territory of post-partum bodies.

Dear Dr. Kate,
After I started having sex with my boyfriend, my first period afterwards was incredibly light, just one day of spotting. The next month, however, my period was much heavier, 4 days worth of tampons (light ones) accompanied by body aches, cramps and nausea the likes of which I've never experienced. My usual period requires 1 day of light tampons, then pantyliners for the final 3 days. I assumed it was from stress, but someone mentioned the possibility of a miscarriage, which scares me because I'm on the pill plus we used a condom every time.
