serious symptoms and infertility! vent - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

I cant seem to keep to a diet. its rediculous. Ive tried Jenny craig, atkins, south beach, weight watchers, master cleanse...etc only to regain all the weight! I have an appointment with a fertility specialist on Wed and stressing out because I haven't lost any weight. Honestly ive probably gained a few because Im an emotional eater. For the past 2 days Ive counted calories and it seems easy enough to do (love caloriecount.about.com!). I'm so miserable! Its almost summer, I'm still fat, I am breaking out like crazy and am getting so hairy! gross. Now this whole fertility thing. As new fertility protocol me and my husband had to get tested. I already have one clomid baby so I know that I CAN ovulate with meds but my husband did TWO sperm analysis' because they were not normal. His motility is practically nothing (swimming ability) and his morphology was way low (normal looking). Im so afraid that the dr is going to tell me they cant do anything for me (IVF isnt covered). I know I shouldnt jump to conclusions Im just down! Im fat, I have the biggest muffin top ever, my face is so pimply and I have to wax or pluck twice a week to not look like a sasquach!

You have a lot going on. Take a deep breath. In and out.

You at least got the vent part out!

Big hugs Willow! Your lack of weight loss could have a lot to do with the amt of stress you are under right now with the infertility. Stress really messes with your system, especially when it comes to losing weight.

Unfortunately the acne and excessive hair are something that most of us with PCOS have to contend with. Although the excessive hair is ANNOYING, there are many things out there we can do to combat it temporarily til you find something that will work for you permanently. So take comfort in that ...

I know, myself, that the acne is really frustrating because while you can pluck a hair ... you certainly can't do much with the acne til you find something that works for you internally.

Just know you are not alone in this ... we all are here for support so if you ever need to vent ... someone will always be here to listen!
