just need to vent! god damn i just wish someone would find out what on earth is wrong with me! after getting nowhere with my gyn appointment and having to wait till next year to get another appointment with someone else, i thought i would just fill in the prescription my gp gave me for the microgynon 50 and use that in the meantime. hey, im desperate now and i dont want to go through another unexpected period. my last one was stupidly heavy and made me quite sick and exhausted.
well, the potential side effects i was worried about are becoming a reality. woopee. i have gained 2 kilos in the 2 weeks i have been taking it. i knew the pill could make you gain weight but that much? im about 2 kilos away from having to buy a whole new wardrobe now. all of it has gone to my stomach and hips too. my belly feels so tight and huge! as i mentioned in my very first post, i go to the gym. because i wasnt seeing any results i hired a personal trainer too. she has been working my ass off for 10 weeks and even she seems stumped as to why im getting fatter and gaining minimal muscle. im getting this close to just giving up exercise and healthy eating.
im also getting these weird waves of nausea. one minute im fine, the next i turn an awful colour and need to sit down. its so unpredictable too. i could be anywhere and this happens. my face and hair are turning into an oil slick too. i knew this would happen if i stopped the diane 35 and went on the microgynon 50. also, my 2 hour post meal blood glucose readings are higher than they usually are. could explain why ive been so darn tired the past couple of weeks. coincidence? maybe, maybe not. seems like im trading one set of problems for another lol!
anyway. thanks for listening folks. i will report back with more news when i see the gyno next. who knows, my lung specialist might even take things into his own hands if things dont get solved soon. |
