Unhappy Any ideas? Bloating, weight gain, spots...please help!!

Ok, so I'd lost 4lbs with met...briefly went back on during my lap&dye...but then it all came off again. Plus an extra pound!!

This week, however, it's ALL gone back on! I've not eaten loads...just averaged around 1500 - 2000 kcals a day (last Sunday I went way over, but that was a birthday party)

I just don't understand, and it's making me so miserable.

I feel bloated, heavy, I've got pelvic pain, back pain and a couple of spots.

I wondered whether it was AF - I have had one cycle since starting met, but that was 6 weeks ago...and I've had these symptoms for a week now.

Any ideas?

Bloated, gross Lara

It sounds like it could be either af or ovulation related symptoms. Could you be ovulating right now?

I wonder if that could be it? Does ovulation cause pelvic pain and weight gain?

I feel so 'head fuzzy' today...and tired...I can barely move!

And the BLOATING! OMG - feels like I am ready to pop...

Well I definately get the "O" pains, cramping, back ache and bloating with ovulation. I can almost always tell when it's working.

Unfortunately I'm in the same boat with metformin. It's been 2 months and no period or ovulation, just stomach pains, diarhea, and migraines. But I did concieve my 3rd son with MET, so all the luck to you if it works.

I'm not doing so well this time around. no weight loss, just the opposite. I think I gained 12 pounds in a week...is that possible with the flu and no appetite.

when you say spots what do you mean...I've got a couple on my leg Idon't know what to do with!
