I am sorry that your question cannot be answered in the genetics forum. You may want to ask your health care provider.

Mylanta has a generic name "SIMETHICONE" It is safe to use during pregnancy. It is a question that geneticist should answer, because we have to deal with dysmorphic child that may cause from many teratogenic agents, drugs. (Most common one . Can u guess?.Alcohol).

i last had my period in early aug.for three days then stoped. i also stoped taking birth control in aug. its now november and still no period. i've takin a home test which came up negative but im recieving sore breast, nausea, cravings,heartburn, and headaches. i can't go to the doctor because i have no insurance.i know a missed period can be from stress. i'm a teen who lives alone with her boyfried and i'm a cna at a nursing home so i know theres chances of being stressed. i'm not sure what to do. could someone please explain a little of whats going on. could i be prgnant or what?

u miss your period since August, the pregnancy test will almost positive, if u get preg since then. But try to test it in a few days for sure. the question is why u stop birth pills? u'd better have more safe sex with condom use and you have to be more aware about your birth control plan. If test negative you can start your birth pills again (don't forgewt safe sex) and wait for another month to have new cycle of period. Is this help? http://clinicalgenetics.blogspot.com
