Am I pregnant? or is my body messing with me?

2008-12-04T05:31:00.000-08:00

Great anonymous blog question emailed to me:

9. "My period is three to four days late, but I have been spotting lightly for the last 8 to 9 days. I took a home pregnancy test that I had had for about two years. I took the test on the day that I missed my period, and it was negative. If I am not pregnant, what could be causing the spotting for so long before my period? I have never had this happen before..."

Multiple part question from me and my husband, Dr. Jason Alviene:

Do multiple orgasms pose a health risk?

2008-11-20T13:33:00.000-08:00

4. "Pamela" would like to know:

How many big Os can a lady have in 1 sex encounter? I know very silly but I have read various things and a Dr. I know told me no more than 6 or someone would faint or health risks.

Thanks You Pamela for your question. I don't think it is silly at all. I don't have an answer right away, but I will do some research and get back to you ASAP. In the meantime, I welcome any of my panelists or readers to comment on this matter

Help! I think this blog needs a new title

2008-11-20T10:01:00.000-08:00

Ok, so I got a question from an anonymous reader asking if I was a Life College of Chiropractic graduate. I wondered why that question and then it dawned on me: My blog's title is "Life's many questions". So, to end the rumors once and for all:

Me and my husband, Dr. Jason Alviene are both graduates of Logan College of Chiropractic in Chesterfield, Missouri. Some of our contributing panelists (Dr. Felicity Keough and Dr. Danielle Monken) are also Logan graduates We do welcome panelists from Life and other chiropractic colleges, however, as well as any medical schools, nutritionists, osteopathic schools, etc...

So this brings me to a new issue. Perhaps my blog needs a new title to end the confusion. Any suggestions?????

Please comment below or email at cprann@live.com. Also feel free to email any questions for posting to this email as well.

Thanks,

A blog is born

2008-11-15T16:39:00.000-08:00

My name is Dr. Catherine Prann. I am a Chiropractic Physician in the state of Florida. My specialty is women's health, pregnancy and pediatrics, but I have and am capable of treating patients of all ages and genders and with a variety of conditions. I am happily married to Dr. Jason Alviene. He is also a Chiropractor and his specialty is more in the Sport sciences and rehabilitation fields. We have 2 beautiful girls: Asja is 8 years old and Lydia is almost 4.

This is my first blog ever. I intend for this to evolve over time into a medium where people can feel free to come and ask questions about health, chiropractic, nutrition, fitness and natural remedies. You have, as always, the option to remain anonymous in this format, so feel free to ask those things you never dared. I will begin this blog by asking all of you questions while I build up my readership.

I do not intend for these postings to be long and to take up a lot of your valuable time reading. They will simply be short questions/short answers.

These questions, though they are posted in my blog, will undoubtedly attract answers from readers of all kinds. So, it should get pretty interesting. Also, though the questions will mostly be geared toward health issues, I welcome any topics of interest to my readers.

Ok, let's get some of life's mysteries solved!
