Go to www.PCOSupport.org and click on their "research studies" link.  That has a listing of research studies you could try to get in to by state. "Alma Stephens" <stephens1…@worldnet.att.net> wrote in message

Hi Naomi, So is Boxing Day the day when one gives presents to those who are sort of "second tier", or non family and close friends?  Like the mail man?  I think there’s some nuance here that I don’t see….

I think so.  Here’s what the "Brewer’s Dictionary of Phrase and Fable" says under the heading "Christmas Boxes." "A gratuity given on Boxing Day (the day after Christmas), St. Stephen’s Day.  Boxes placed in churches for casual offerings used to be opened on Christmas Day, and the contents, called the ‘dole of the Christmas box," or the "box money", were distributed the next day by the priests.  Apprentices also used to carry a box around to their masters’ customers for small gratuities. Postmen received such gifts until after WWII, and some dustmen and errand boys still call to collect them." Naomi

We call it boxing day in my family.  It’s the day after Christmas when you put your things back in their box to return/exchange them.   ) Maureen

In England, Boxing Day was traditionally the day when employers and landowners would give gifts (boxes) to their servents and tenants. It has nothing to do with returning unwanted Christmas presents. It is still a legal holiday in Britain. Naomi

Response:

We pretty much just call it the Day After Christmas.  A lot of stores put on huge sales, trying to keep the Christams shopping magic alive just a little bit longer.  When I lived in extreme northern NY, the radio stations that hit the border area would advertise Boxing Day sales, though.  I’ve never quite understood the purpose of Boxing Day, though.  Could you explain it?

Do Americans call Dec. 26th the Day After Christmas?  Canadians call it Boxing Day.  We were having a discussion on this at the Christmas table last night – just wondering. Carone

DH and I have always called it Boxing Day, too, although we live south of the border. Beth

Response:

Perhaps this question is more obvious than I think but since I live in PA, I’ll bite.  What is Boxing Day exactly besides the Canadian holiday that follows Christmas Day?

I am new here and just wanted to introduce myself. My name’s Jen, I’m 20 and I’ve been trying to get pregnant for 2 years. (Almost 3) I’ve had one miscarriage and one live birth (a long time ago, she was given up for adoption). I have been with my SO for almost 3 years, and we’ve been trying to concieve almost since we got together. I have been diagnosed with PCOS and hypothyroidism. I’m charting, and am about to start Clomid. I’m really new to all of this, and any advice, or support would be helpful. Thank you — Jen TTC #1 Angel baby Dec. 07 2000 Charting http://www.FertilityFriend.com/home/170e4/

Not without medical help. This cycle they gave me progesterone because it was 46 days into this cycle (it ended up lasting, _think_ 55) and the one before that was 138 days long.
