This is off topic, but, DH has been walking the dogs in the woods and even though they've got flea and tick on, Sticks still came home with a tick.

I tried hot matches, alcohol and tweezers and all I manage to do was squish out the ticks innards and then break the body off the head

The was is still buried in her.

Help, how do I get it out.

I think there is a flea and tick shampoo that you can use? but im not 100%

im not sure stucki, but i think you can clean it with peroxide and then put neosporin (not sure how to spell that) on it to make sure it doesn't get infected, but not sure what else you could do

Clean the area with rubbing alcohol and then leave it alone....it will heal by itself. If you want to speed up the healing process put a little vitamin E (pop a vit E pill) on it.

I have a question I'm hoping some of you can answer.

It seems like my temps stay high until about 8dpo and then drop pretty low. Do you think this could mean a problem with low progesterone? When i was pg with dd way back when I had low progesterone and had to take pill during the first few months. When I asked the RE if he thought I should be taking progesterone during my lp because of this, he said 'you got pregnant before you started taking the extra progesterone so you should be fine.' I was never a fan of that answer...yes, i did get pregnant, but how do you know i didn't have low progesterone at that time also?

Have you had your levels tested?

popchick75 · Dec 13th, 2012, 10:39 AM

Yes, but it has been quite a while ago. I talked to my regular obgyn last week when i was there and he said that he would do blood tests and ultrasounds on days 3 and 21 if i wanted. Our vacation falls right in the middle of my next cycle (of course) so i'll have to wait until we get back.

I actually like my obgyn better than the REs i have seen. He's a lot more agreeable to running tests and doing blood work if i want it done. He'll suggest several options and say what he thinks would be best, but in the end he lets us choose what we want to do.

That's good. My re isn't really helping me or running any more tests...we've kind of hit a brick wall, and I'm frustrated about it.

I just want a doc that's open to trying new things.
