Astronomy class is just a reaffirmation of my belief in God.

SubhanAllah...how can something like the formation of a star and galaxy be merely chance and "Mother Nature"

How a star forms (animation that needs Quicktime)

Looks like we all have them but only in some cases do they become bothersome. Sounds icky and painful

Quote:
What are ovarian cysts?

A cyst is a fluid-filled sac, and can be located anywhere in the body. On the ovary, different types of cysts can form. The most common type of ovarian cyst is called a functional cyst, which often forms during the normal menstrual cycle. Each month, a woman's ovaries grow tiny cysts that hold the eggs. When an egg is mature, the sac breaks open to release the egg, so it can travel through the fallopian tube for fertilization. Then the sac dissolves. In one type of functional cyst, called a follicular cyst, the sac doesn't break open to release the egg and may continue to grow. This type of cyst usually disappears within one to three months. A corpus luteum cyst, another type of functional cyst, forms if the sac doesn’t dissolve. Instead, the sac seals off after the egg is released. Fluid then builds up inside of it. This type of cyst usually goes away on its own after a few weeks. However, it can grow to almost four inches and may bleed or twist the ovary and cause pain. Clomid or Serophene, which are drugs used to induce ovulation, can raise the risk of getting this type of cyst. These cysts are almost never associated with cancer.

Sometimes I feel that way...but not based on my age, just based on the odd people I meet. Lots of Muslim guys have said I intimidate them or they assume I'm stuck up or way out of their league. And I always tend to meet really really strange people.

Like two days ago this guy in a coffee shop proposed to me and told me he used to be a stripper and was once involved in the mafia but converted to Islam a year ago.

I also have a thing for younger guys...but sometimes 16 yr olds propose to me

Sumiyia: Oh no. On such a happy occasion. May Allah grant her shifaa. The kids in your community go through a lot.

Heba:

Everybody else: What did we say was the reason for hair falling out? Mine's so brittle.

Not sure but the hair could just be dry (either naturally or because of over-using heat products or other products that are drying to your hair). You can try using oil (coconut, almond etc, I'm sure other fphers will suggest the right kinds) but definitely start using a good hair conditioner at least twice a week after shampooing (leave in conditioners are sometimes good too). Avoid hair dryers and other heat products and try using a hair mask once a week to seal in moisture. I use a Pantene one whenever I can remember

In other news....SOMEONE HOLD ME!!! I think the masjid is going to be blown away with me on top of it!! The windows are rattling and electricity is fluctuating

So i got my D&C done, i was in the ER for 12 hrs. Fri nite to Sat. morning. ER SUCKS!!! and i hate my OB/GYN. She basically told me eff off cuz i didnt wanna do a natural miscarriage. Once i get better, i'm so gonna tell her off. I'm glad my mom, mother-in-law and sis drove to VA to see me. Sis drove 1am in the morning, i love her soo much.
Alhum. everything went well..but my doctor's attitude really stressed me out even more.

Please dua that i recover quickly.
