stand still for another 3 months
Just got back from my OBGYN appointment. Basically we are at what feels like a stand still for another 3 months. I still haven't gotten my period after 2 months of Metformin, so we are upping the does to the maximum. I was on 500 mg 3 times per day. Now I am going up to 1000 mg twice a day. Hopefully this will bring back my period before my next appointment. The other thing she kept saying was that I have to loose weight. I know this. I'm not stupid. Its just not that easy. I am loosing, its just been very slow. 10 pounds in two months. I'm averaging about a pound a week. I am 5'7" tall. When I started on Metformin, I weighed 263 lbs. Today I weighed in at 253. Two years ago I was down to 195. My doc wants me back down to 200 before I go on the Clomid if possible. It took me a year and a half to loose 40 lbs the last time. I've got to find something that works. Maybe I'll sign up for the expensive 10 week program at the YMCA that has you work out like your on Biggest Looser. The trick is going to be getting Rudy involved. I know I can't do it on my own. The really frustrating part is that once I loose it all, then get pregnant, I'll just have to loose it all again.

Doctors are horrible rude people. Its like, as soon as they put on their lab coats, they're not humans anymore. Fortunately for me... when I was in the hospital losing my baby, everyone kept telling me that I was healthy and had no health problems, and that the next baby will be fine!
When I was pregnant (all 8 weeks) I was at 284~7. 3 weeks later, I'm at 268.
I'm terrified when I go in for my consult with the Genetics and (the I word) Clinic, that they'll take one look at me and say, "Yer fat. Come back when you're not. And dont get pregnant in the meanwhile."
I've had a number NUMBER of doctors look at me and say, "You are spectacularly healthy!" BP historicaly low (even through high school years of smoking and ritalin... and of course any sweet or sticky food around). Sodium, sugar... all low. No one has ever checked the cholesterol... guess I'm still too young.
The point is... that people are just rude rude rude. I hate people. You should too. ;)
