Alaska was still not a state in the late 40's, so he was given (as all takers were) 600 acres of land for free if he promised to homestead it. He sent word back to his homeland of Switzerland, where many friends expressed wanting to move, that he had found a good piece of land.
Yes | No Thank you! It's very possible to be pregnant have your period. I had a normal period just before I found out that I was pregnant. My period ended on a Monday. I had symptoms right after it ended. Nausea, dizziness, breast tenderness, headaches, bloating, food cravings.
Even though your monthly periods are not regular anymore, you can get pregnant during the menopausal transition. In fact, the irregular periods common in menopause make it harder to predict when an ovary is releasing an egg, the time when sexual intercourse is most likely to result in a pregnancy. Do not assume that a couple of missed periods mean you are beginning the menopausal transition.
