 Lets Talk Period and Weight Loss!!!!
Hiya, I'm Alicia. I was diagnosed earlier this year. I've been on Metformin for about 7 months now, and I'm not sure if its helping. Anyways I wanted to talk about the menses...I have long irregular cycles anywhere between 28-39 days long. When I finally do get my period it is extremly painful, (i cant go on without Ibprofin) very heavy flow and many clots. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? What can i do to make them better?
Also, since I was 13 I have been steadily gaining weight. I'm around 220lbs now and I feel like a cow.... Metformin has stopped me from gaining more weight but I have not been able to lose any. Its below zero here in minnesota right now so outside exercise isn't possible. There aren't any fitness centers near here either. I have been watching what I eat (carbs and protein) but exercise continues to be a problem. I seem to always be tired and wanting a nap too???? I try to stay away from caffine because it makes my right breast hurt and I have to pump the "juice" out of it. (lactation?) If anyone has any advice or the same problems I'd love to hear about it.
Thanx, Alicia |
