How Pregnancy Occurs
The corpus luteum will produce progesterone for about 12-16 days (the luteal phase of your cycle.) If an egg is fertilized, the corpus luteum will continue to produce progesterone for a developing pregnancy until the placenta takes over.


-
The first part of the ovulation cycle is called the follicular phase. This phase starts the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) and continues until ovulation. This first half of the cycle can differ greatly for each woman lasting anywhere from 7 days until 40 days.


FSH Levels and Your Fertility
For menstruating women, the normal FSH levels during the follicular and luteal phase should range between 5 and 20 IU/L (international units per liter). Right before ovulation during the mid-cycle peak, FSH levels should be between 30 and 50 IU/L. If a woman is post-menopausal, her FSH levels will be naturally higher, at 60 IU/L or more. At about the age of 40, most women begin a new phase of life and hormone changes begin to take place in preparation for menopause. The ovaries begin to lose their ability to produce mature follicles, estrogen and progesterone.


FSH Levels and Your Fertility
In women, the FSH test (it is a blood test) is taken on the 3rd day of the menstrual period. Doctors believe levels higher than 10-15mIU/L may indicate diminished fertility, poor egg health or low ovarian reserve.


Abdominal fat and what to do about it
Fat accumulated in the lower body (the pear shape) is subcutaneous, while fat in the abdominal area (the apple shape) is largely visceral. Where fat ends up is influenced by several factors, including heredity and hormones.

The starting point for bringing weight under control, in general, and combating abdominal fat, in particular, is regular moderate-intensity physical activity â at least 30 minutes per day (and perhaps up to 60 minutes per day) to control weight.


What Is Abdominal Aortic Ectasia?
Cleveland Clinic points out that abdominal aortic aneurysm is the most common type of aneurysm when it comes to arteries. Most of these occur below the kidneys and are exacerbated by smoking. Also, older males are more likely to suffer from this condition.


Abdominal fat and what to do about it
Visceral fat more of a health concern than subcutaneous fat. Though the term might sound dated, middle-age spread is a greater concern than ever. As people go through their middle years, their proportion of fat to body weight tends to increase â more so in women than men. Extra pounds tend to park themselves around the midsection.

According to doctors at HealthTap, abdominal aortic ectasia occurs when the aorta becomes dilated and swollen in the abdomen. Although the aorta enlarges with age, smoking and inherited conditions can make it worse.


Abdominal fat and what to do about it
As the evidence against abdominal fat mounts, researchers and clinicians are trying to measure it, correlate it with health risks, and monitor changes that occur with age and overall weight gain or loss.


Abdominal fat and what to do about it
Abdominal, or visceral, fat is of particular concern because it's a key player in a variety of health problems â much more so than subcutaneous fat, the kind you can grasp with your hand. Visceral fat, on the other hand, lies out of reach, deep within the abdominal cavity, where it pads the spaces between our abdominal organs. Visceral fat has been linked to metabolic disturbances and increased risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.


What Is Abdominal Aortic Ectasia?
Cleveland Clinic explains that abdominal aortic ectasia occurs when the aorta is dilated between the normal diameter and just less than 1.5 times the normal diameter. Any dilation greater than this and it is considered an aneurysm. The danger in ectasia is that it can worsen into aneurysm.

Posts: 3,850. Military acronyms question -- CONUS/OCONUS. I've done enough research to know CONUS = continental U.S. and OCONUS = outside continental U.S. However, at the government contractor where I work, OCONUS is always used to describe foreign garrisons, like a base in Germany, or theaters like Baghdad.


CONUS COLA
1 An average E-6, with dependents and 10 years of service, receives $36 per month for each COLA index point. Index points currently range from one to thirteen.  Qualification for CONUS COLA is based on geographic duty location, i.e., the zip code of duty station.


CONUS COLA
CONUS COLA is a taxable supplemental allowance designed to help offset higher prices in high-cost locations in CONUS that exceed the costs in an average CONUS location by 8 percent or more. The program affects over 25,000 Service members in 25 Military Housing Areas (MHAs) and 46 other counties in CONUS.


CONUS COLA
CONUS COLA indices are computed for all MHAs, which represent major metropolitan areas and installations throughout CONUS. MHAs are defined by the BAH program. Areas outside of the MHAs have unique indices using the same methodology as the MHA areas but do not follow the BAH format.

I wouldn't consider Iraq or Afghanistan OCONUS. Sure, it is OCONUS strictly speaking.

Martinâs Ten Rules of Roof Design
Most of the time, I was installing asphalt shingles, back in the days before nail guns and portable compressors. We used heavy wooden extension ladders. My staging consisted of 2x12 planks laid on hardwood shingle brackets; each bracket was secured to the roof with three 16d nails. We never had any fall protection.


Martinâs Ten Rules of Roof Design
The house at the top is in Finland; the one at the bottom is in Thailand. Lots of things can go wrong with roofs: bad flashing can cause leaks, a poorly designed valley can turn into a slow-moving glacier, and misplaced gutters can do more harm than good. Experienced roofers see a lot of stupid roofs.


How Much Does it Cost to Replace a Roof?
Before a roof can be replaced, the old roofing materials must be torn off or prepared for overlaying. Typical costs for tear-off are listed below: 1 layer: $90 â $140 per 100 square feet. 2 layers: $110 â $160 per 100 square feet. 3 layers: $120 â $170 per 100 square feet. Asphalt shingles fall at the lower end of the spectrum because they cost less to remove than wood shakes or tile. Roofing companies charge higher rates for roofs with high pitches, steep slopes of 25% or more, than for those with low pitches.


Builder suggests overlaying a roof: Here's what you should know
The shingles likely won't last as long, so the job could actually end up costing you more in the long run. The savings simply don't warrant the compromise of quality and potential risks. That said, overlaying asphalt shingles with a metal roof could be an option, provided there is no underlying damage. Metal roofs offer energy savings but do cost more upfront than traditional asphalt shingles. They also last longer and stand up to foul weather better than shingles. No matter what type of roof you choose, make sure you tell your roofer to fix any underlying problems you have before installing any new roof.


Metal Roof Cost
Metal roofing materials can be created in large sheets, or in individual shingles or panels designed to simulate the look of a roof of asphalt shingle, clay tile, stone tile, slate or wood. A metal roof is lightweight, durable, fire-resistant and does not rot. Typical costs:


Martinâs Ten Rules of Roof Design
The company paid me $3.50 an hour. For the next 12 months, I installed countless bundles of asphalt shingles and mopped acres of tar-and-gravel roofs with hot asphalt. Every now and then, I also helped Ed, the companyâs sheet-metal worker, to install copper valleys and copper-lined cedar gutters on slate roofs.

It contains the nucleus and other structures common to all cells in the body, such as mitochondria.


What Is the Function of the Myelin Sheath?
The myelin sheath is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system. When the myelin is damaged, nerve impulses slow down, and the nerve cell begins to wither. Diseases such as multiple sclerosis can result from damaged myelin sheaths. The sheath increases the electrical resistance of the cell by a factor of 5,000, which prevents the electrical current from leaving the axon of the nerve cell. The process of forming the myelin sheath is known as mylenization.


Overview of neuron structure and function
The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and the spinal cord. It is in the CNS that all of the analysis of information takes place. The peripheral nervous system (PNS), which consists of the neurons and parts of neurons found outside of the CNS, includes sensory neurons and motor neurons.


Understanding Neurons
Mitochondria use oxygen and glucose to produce most of the cell's energy. The brain consumes large amounts of ATP. The chemical energy stored in ATP is used to fuel most of the biochemical reactions of the neuron.
