If your daughters progesterone levels came out high but shes had no period whats that mean?

Progesterone levels usually start to elevate when an egg is released from the ovary, rise for several days, and then either continue to rise with early pregnancy or fall to initiate menstruation. If progesterone levels do not rise and fall on a monthly basis, a woman may not be ovulating or having menstrual periods. If levels do not rise normally during an early pregnancy, the pregnancy may be ectopic and/or may be failing. If serial measurements do not show increasing progesterone levels over time, there may be problems with the viability of the placenta and fetus. Levels of progesterone will be naturally higher during pregnancies that involve multiples (twins, triplets, etc.) than those in which there is only one fetus. Increased progesterone levels also are seen occasionally with luteal ovarian cysts, molar pregnancies, and with a rare form of ovarian cancer. Increased levels are occasionally due to an overproduction of progesterone by the adrenal glands.

What does suspicious for malignancy mean?

# Arousing or apt to arouse suspicion; questionable: suspicious behavior. # Tending to suspect; distrustful: a suspicious nature. # Expressing suspicion: a suspicious look.

Is it possible for a child to have o positive blood when the father has b positive and the mother has b negative?

Yes. Each person has two genes to make up their blood group and rhesus group, one from each parent. For blood groups, groups A and B are dominant over O, and for rhesus groups positive is dominant over negative. If you have one of each, your type will be whichever the dominant one is. Firstly looking at the blood group - an O group child can be born to group B parents if both the mother's and father's blood group genotype is BO. The child has a 25% chance of being BB (group B), 50% chance of being BO (group B) and 25% chance of being OO (group O). Looking at the rhesus group - mother's genotype must be Neg/Neg, father could be pos/pos, in which case the child will always be rhesus positive, or pos/neg where the child has a 50% chance of being rhesus positive, and 50% chance of being rhesus negative.

If both parents are O positive can they have a child that is A positive?

No. If both parents are type O, the child will be O. If both are A, the child can be either A or O. If both are B, the child can be either B or O. If both are AB, the child can be A, B, or AB (but not O).

Is homosexuality considered an illness according to the American medical association if so how is it considered to be and when was it determined?

Homosexuality used to be considered a psychological disorder but that has not been true since the publication of the 3rd Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-III) in the 1980s. The American Psychological Association considers any attempt to "treat" (i.e., get rid of) homosexuality to be unethical. An exception is when the homosexuality is a source of considerable distress or anxiety for the patient/client, but in such a case, it is the anxiety that is treated, not the sexual orientation.
