Katelyn: I know what you mean about gaining weight and not knowing what is going on. I met my husband in 2000, I weighed 125#'s, needless to say I needed to gain a few pounds. I am married to him now, and my weight is over 155#'s! I blame most of my weight gain on Actos and effexor. I took Actos (another IR drug) for several years and I am still taking Effexor for Anxiety and moods! Now I am taking 1250mg of Metformin and trying to cut down on the carbs and sugars. Being IR, we shouldn't have sugar anyway, but the carbs...I do miss! I just increased my dose of Metformin from 1000 to 1250 yesterday, so far so good. My goal is 1500 in a couple of weeks! I have been TTC for about a year now, with no luck. I took bunches of rounds of clomid and the RE said it is not working. So we are trying met. I have NEVER had a non medicated period. So...we shall see if Met can get my cycles fixed and I can ovulate and get pregnant!
God willing, and in HIS PERFECT TIME! I have FAITH!
