Hi there...haven't posted in a while, but have learned so much from all of you brave women out there who are doing all you can to take better care of yourselves! Had my doctor's appointment today after going a round of Provera which took me on an emotional roller coaster until I got my AF after 6 months of not having anything happening over the summer. Then I have realized to my horror that I have slowly put back on the 75 lb.s that I worked so hard to lose three years ago so now I am feeling like a fat cow, my clothes are tight and I have hip and back pain again. That and finding out my SIL is 5 mo pregnant has been so hard to cope with over the last few months.

So I finally convinced myself to go see the doctor again to see what I am doing wrong. Well, she put me on Met 850mg 2x daily and I took my first dose tonite with dinner. Hubby bought Hardees and I ate a chicken sandwich and a few fries so I hope it doesn't make me too sick tonite. I am NOT giving into my nightly cravings for chocolate either! Instead, I am reading and researching all the posts here and I just want to thank you all so much for sharing very personal stories about your experiences. I will be on Met for a while now until we get through the holidays and then maybe around March 06 we'll start getting serious about TTC again. The doctor said I wold be able to take it during my pregnancy as well as some new studies have shown it helps prevent miscarriages. (Yeah I was surprised about that too) I look at it this way, sure my SIL beat me to it, but you know I'm going to get a lot of nice baby things passed down to me once she's through with them, right?

That's me always trying to look on the bright side of things.

Anyways you all have a good week ahead and I'll post updates as they come along.
