Is Heartburn A Pms Symptom
2 negatives, but late and boyfriend suspected i was preg before i did..help?
So my last period started february 17, which means that im about 5 days late for my period. almost 2 weeks ago my boyfriend out of nowhere commented on my chest, saying they looked bigger. i didnt notice anything at first, and didnt really pay attention to it until my best friend also said they look bigger. so i took a test and it was negative, and then 2 days later took another and it was negative. so far ive experienced these symptoms - constipation, nausea, heartburn, abdominal twitching/pinching, larger than usual breast swelling, and extreme tiredness ( i mean 13 straight hours of sleeping, and still being exhausted the rest of the day). i know some of these symptoms relate to pms symptoms.. im a little confused because of the negative test results, but im starting to get a little concerned, being that im 5 days late now..what do you guys think?
* my boyfriend has never completely ejaculated in me, weve either used condoms or withdrawal.
It's possible to be pregnant even if the home pregnancy tests say you are not. My best friends OB told her she was pregnant before she even suspected just from her yearly physical exam. She took pregnancy tests every day for a week and 1/2 before one actually came up positive. A lot of women will go past their period due date before they get a positive result. If you don't get your period by the end of the week and a test still says you are not pregnant, I would suggest going to the doctor and having a blood test done since a blood test can detect with far more accuracy than a urine test. If the blood test comes back negative, call your OB and make an appointment to figure out why you haven't gotten your period.
My husband suspected I might be pregnant before I did. He said my 'smell' changed to something sweeter. And yes, he meant my plumbing lol
Apple Vs. Banana- Let The Better Fruit Win! by Medimanage.com
Which is the fruit that symbolizes health? Which fruit's health benfits are such that they keep even the Doctor away? Yes, Apple is the fruit that takes the 'Popularity' prize among the fruits. In hailing the benefits of one fruit, don't you feel that we are ignoring the benefits of many healthier but unpopular fruits? Take the banana for example, its many benefits are forgotten and it is wrongly tagged as 'weight gain' fruit. Lets compare the health benefits of apples and those of bananas to uncover the truth....
Here is the objective comparison between Apples and Banana
Name- Apple
Colors- Found in Green and Red

Health Benefits-
Apple is an excellent source of pectin, a fiber that helps reduce blood cholesterol and possibly prevents cancer. One medium-sized apple provides five grams of dietary fiber, or 20 per cent of the recommended intake of fiber. It also contains many anti oxidants that benefit the body as follows.
Weight loss properties
A study by Brazilian scientists showed that women who ate apples everyday lost more weight than those who didn't.
Controls Cholesterol
The pectin found in apples lowers LDL or the ‘bad' cholesterol. People who eat two apples per day may lower their cholesterol by as much as 16 percent
Prevents heart disease and stroke
Research has confirmed that flavonoids, a type of antioxidant abundant in apples, help prevent heart disease and stroke. So, next time you peel off the apple skin you are going lose its nutrition, hence remember not to peel the skin
Strong bones

Apple is also known to reduce the symptoms of asthma in children, reduce signs of anti-aging and help manage diabetes by reducing the insulin requirement of the body by 35%.
Some downers:
Pesticide issue
Apples are one of the most pesticides sprayed fruit and a report by Environment Working Group shows that when you buy an apple you may get a residue of 10 pesticides with it. This exposure of pesticides may actually nullify all the benefits that you may get from it, it may even harm you. Not only are the pesticides, apples often waxed to preserve them during storage and travels. These waxes have solvent residues, hence it is recommended to wash them thoroughly with soapy water before eating.
Price
Apples in India are at least the fruit of the rich; it comes in the market in the early winter but only is affordable only to a few. The price of one imported apple equals the price of kilo of another. With a price as high as this who can afford it every day?
