Health Matters

GirlyGirl asked:


Have PCOS and my heart sometimes pound off beat and I was wondering is it a bad idea to have kids. Do women get pregnant with heart disease? Can heart disease be reversed (go away)? I figured pushing can put a strain on the heart.

I want to know if this sounds like pregnancy, it is a week after ovulation i have heavy white discharge and a little cramping. I’ve also been a little moody. I don’t know if white discharge is a big sign of pregnancy or not.

Amanda asked:


My grandmother and a cousin both developed severe rheumatic autoimmune diseases after pregnancy, when being previously fine before pregnancy. I have not been able to find any additional evidence of pregnancy causing an autoimmune disease to develop, but am wondering if anyone knows of a link between the two, either clinical or anecdotal.

I realize that pregnancy has effects on women who already have autoimmune diseases, but am trying to weigh the risks of developing an illness from being pregnant. Any additional information would be very helpful. Thank you!

Jessie asked:


I took an at home pregnancy test last week and tested positive, but then had my period a few days later. I would have conceived between September 20th and 24th, and my period came 6 days ago. I started reading up on this and found a lot of questions about chemical pregnancies. How do they happen? And how long will the pregnancy hormone stay in my system if the egg has already been flushed out? I can’t get into my gyno until next week and I need to know what’s going on now.
