If your hurt on the job in Texas can you see your own doctor or do you have to see the company doctor?

It really depends on the company as to whether or not you have to see their doctor. Some companies have their own doctors, but quite a few large, corporate companies do not have a specific doctor that you have to go to. So again, it depends on the companies policy.

Is it possible to still get pregnant with PCOs when on Metformin?

It's not only possible, but more likely (though it doesn't work for everyone). I am a 30ish-year old woman of healthy weight treating my PCOS with 1500mg Metformin daily in hopes of conceiving my fourth child. Metformin is a recommended treatment for women wishing to conceive and suffering from PCOS; it oftentimes restores ovulation. In my case, this appears to be true! YAY!! My DH and I will be thrilled if a pregnancy results before having to resort to injectables like we did ttc our third precious child (we conceived our first two in our young years of marriage...naturally, despite my extremely long, sometimes anovulatory cycles). Many REs will combine Met with Clomid. Clomid and I don't get along, though. Best wishes and HTH! M, happily married to my sweetheart almost 10 years now! Blessed with three, gorgeous children.

What would be the reaction of a Narcissist when he sees you in a group setting after he dumped you for another woman five months ago?

A Narcissist doesn't like to see "the one that got away" even though he dumped YOU! He would be egotistical and think he's one up on you. If you are with another man this would bother him. Narcissists are ego-trippers, they feel that you will never have any man as good as he was, but in the same stroke of that sentence he could become jealous if he sees you with another man. He may flaunt his new love in your face in hopes of getting some reaction out of you. Whatever you feel (whether it be that you are still in love with him or you're simply glad to be rid of him) you are the winner! Stand proud, look him in the eye if he looks at you, put a slight smile on your face and don't waver. That's getting back at him! He'll instantly wonder what your big secret is and Narcissists can't stand that. Be glad he dumped you because these guys are a waste of skin.

How does the fetus change gender in third week?

They don't exactly "change gender." While the default development pattern is female, they start out with primitive structures for both. The structure are called Müllerian ducts (or paramesonephric ducts) and Wolffian ducts (or mesonephric ducts). If the male genes of the Y chromosome are present, adrenal androgens spike, causing the Wolffian ducts continue to develop into male parts and produce chemicals to inhibit the Müllerian ducts from developing. Otherwise, the Müllerian ducts develop into female parts and produce chemicals to inhibit Wollfian duct development.

Is a liver ultra sound the same as abdominal ultra sound?

A liver ultrasound is a specific type of abdominal ultrasound that focuses on imaging the liver and surrounding structures to assess for conditions such as tumors, cysts, or fatty liver disease. In contrast, an abdominal ultrasound examines a broader area, including organs like the kidneys, pancreas, gallbladder, and spleen. While both use similar technology, their purposes and the areas they target differ.

How does an ultrasound produce an image of a fetus in the mother and uterus?

Using special instruments, medical professionals can send ultrasonic waves into a specific part of a patients body. reflected ultrasonic waves are used to examine different body parts and to detect and monitor certain types of heart disease and cancer.

Are flies scared of ultrasound?

Flies are not necessarily "scared" of ultrasound, but they can be affected by high-frequency sounds. Some studies suggest that ultrasonic frequencies may disrupt their behavior or cause stress, potentially affecting their movement patterns. However, the response can vary by species and environmental context, so it's not a universal reaction among all flies.

Can a pregnancy conception date be off by 30 days?

Yes, a pregnancy conception date can be off by about 30 days due to variations in ovulation timing, irregular menstrual cycles, and sperm longevity. Ovulation typically occurs about two weeks after the start of a menstrual period, but individual cycles can vary significantly. Additionally, sperm can survive in the female reproductive tract for up to five days, which can further complicate pinpointing the exact conception date. Therefore, estimating the conception date is often not precise.

What is the origin of the word ultrasound?

The word "ultrasound" is derived from the prefix "ultra-" meaning "beyond" and the word "sound," which refers to vibrations that travel through a medium. The term was first used in the 20th century to describe sound waves with frequencies higher than the audible range for humans, typically above 20 kHz. Ultrasound technology has since been applied in various fields, including medicine for imaging and therapeutic purposes.
