But let’s say you had a small fire that only affected a single room—for our example,we’ll use your kitchen. There’s no structural damage…the fire was out before the fire trucks arrived—just a lot of soot everywhere and an awful smell from the fire.

Clomid, also known as clomiphene citrate, is listed as a prohibited substance by the NFL, the International Olympic Committee, and the World Anti-Doping Agency. If Clomid use is discovered in a random drug test, the athlete can be penalized. Why would an athlete take a fertility drug like Clomid?

However, as with any drug, you should be aware of the potential risks before treatment. Clomid may also be sold under its generic name clomiphene or under the brand name Serophene. These medications are all the same drug. Many Clomid side effects are the result of how the drug works. Clomiphene tricks the body into thinking there’s not enough estrogen. It does this by blocking estrogen receptors. This leads the body to release more GnRH, a hormone that tells the pituitary to release more FSH and LH....

MYTH: Babies can’t breastfeed once they have teeth. FACT: I once conducted a survey among about 250 newly delivered adolescent mothers who planned to breastfeed. In response to a question about how long they intended to nurse their babies, the most frequent reply was “until he gets teeth.” The common assumption prevails that teeth make it impossible, even hazardous to the mother, for an infant to breastfeed. While a teething infant certainly can bite her mother’s nipple, most breastfed infants quickly learn not to bite....

They found that on one hand, dads believe they upped their game and are now much more involved in child care responsibilities....
