Awww, Pooky. I know you were trying not to get your hopes up but I bet you did anyhow. The good news is that at least you know it's possible for one of your eggs to be fertilized so hopefully the next one will latch on and become that baby you want so much. Although, when you read all the complaints about kids and teens in here, you'd think a person would have second and third thoughts about reproduction. :lol: BTW, I'm really surprised that the Metformin caused such problems for you. I'm still taking 2 a day and haven't noticed any major problems with it. I have to say that going on this Fat Flush Plan has lowered my morning glucose levels much quicker than the Metformin has been. I'm still not in the safe zone but just over it which is a good sign.
Princess, sometimes I wonder why we torture ourselves with the darned scales so much. It's just a dumb piece of equipment and can only measure weight. It doesn't know anything else about you so that so-called 2 pounds it says you gained could be just a temporary glitch in the machinery. Don't believe it. You are bloated from all that TOMing. I hope you can get something done about that but be very wary of hormones. They can definitely cause weight gain.
Leens, most people look better without glasses but when you first see them eye-glassless, they look strange. I remember a girl I knew who switched to contacts and to me she looked hollow-eyed. But I'd been so used to seeing her with these magnifying lenses and now her eyes were just normal sized. It may take your Mom a while to get used to the new you. Meanwhile, if you don't already, you might want to try a little eye make-up just to enhance your peepers.
Samsgrandma, thanks for the encouragement. I guess I've always used too much salt. I have been using some herbs in the hopes of compensating but so far everything still tastes too bland for me. I'm not giving up yet though. My clothes are starting to feel a bit looser even though the scale hasn't budged. Maybe it's just wishful thinking though.
Debbie, your lucky hubby in London! Couldn't he take you along? I know all about that driving on the left. When we were in Zimbabwe, Africa two years ago, we had a borrowed car and my hubby was introduced to the joys (and terrors) of that mode. I think I must have gotten thousands of new grey hairs during that month. I remember one time in particular he drove out into the middle of a busy four lane street and made a left turn....directly into oncoming traffic. With me screaming, horns blaring and a very red face, he finally got us back on track but it was vewwy vewwy scawwy. Also, every time he went to use the turn signal, the windshield wipers would come on. Very funny when it wasn't raining and all it did was smear the dust all over. :lol:
Ruth, I don't care if I "need to know" or not. I HAVE to know what doggie hot pants are. :lol: BTW, I hope you thought of me as you gobbled up dim sum, you brat. While here I sit eating blah, blah and MORE blah. Life is so unfair. For that you have to come and weed my garden too.
Well, I went to the pool this morning and managed about 1-1/4 hr fairly active churning about. One of these days I'm going to go to the aquafit class. They usually start just as I'm leaving and they seem like a nice group. I just don't want to be the one who has to have a special crane hooked up to haul me out of the water when I expire of exhaustion. :o
That's all for today. Maybe. I'll check in later in case we have some latecomers.

Pooky! I'm so sorry sweetie!!!!! It will happen all when it is supposed to....keep your faith, ok??

[[[[[[[[[[[[[[pooky]]]]]]]]]]] we're rooting for you.

and sherrie.. so much info about little miss princess, but how are you feeling??? energy? are you doing too much??

more later. just needed a quick work break..

did i tell any of you how nice it is to be NOT in the hospital???

people around here are getting tired of hearing it..

Hi all. Pooky I am so sorry that it was not the right time for you. it will happen when you least expect it. I will send fertile thoughts your way. atleast your body is starting to think pregnant now it just needs to be!!!

PJ 2 weeks?? have you seen any doc with this???? get thy butt to the doc please!!!! and my fav question are you drinking???

DD morning to you. you must realize that youa re a few hours behind most of us so do not hink you are a late starter. we just are early!!!

LEENS just shoot her!! that works. ;) but seriously she is just adjusting to the new look!! she likes her baby the way she has seen her all there years, not the new and beautiful you!!! it looks good to you and that is what counts!!!

Hi everyone! I had a pretty good day today, not too busy. Got lots of stuff done with very little hassle! Sometimes I love my job still!

Dear Jiffy, I am terrified to tell you I am not doing well! I do NOT need a Joisy boot today! Seriously, I am doing FABULOUS! No bleeding, Princess Jihan I have it for months at the time! The pills are doing their magic and the iron is still making me sick, so I cut the dose in half (don't tell the doc!) and added B-12 just cause you said so! Thanks for worrying, and stay out of that dang hospital. Those people love you so much, they may not let you come home!

Pooky, my heart goes out to you, hon! We are all sending you baby vibes, you better hope you don't end up with quads or something!!

Ya'll I didn't ignore you, I just can't remember you all!! Have a wonderful evening!

Jiff you can tell me anytime how good it is NOT to be in the hospital, cause you know I know too :D:D

Good Evening All :wave:

I spent my morning at the dentist and then had my blood drawn for my Methotrexate treatments. Ran a few errands and came home and took a wonderful nap (what a luxury).

Pooky~~~ I'm sorry that it didn't turn out as you wanted but I know that it will happen when you least expect it :eek:

Linda~~~ It sounds like you are doing well on the FF and are starting to see and feel some changes. Good for you :cb:

Everybody else~~~ Hang in there with your moms, kids and DHs. (what else can you do ?)

~~~Sil :flow1:

Hi everybody! Boy I have missed this board so bad! Can't talk long, still have lots of work to do tonite.

Pooky, I'm sorry this wasn't your month! :( You have such a great attitude, and it will get you far! That's great that you at least are ovulating. I can't believe they don't have XR in Canada. I don't see what the problem would be? Good luck on the Actos. You should post about it on the PCOS/Insulin Resistance board and see if anybody else has taken it. At least it should be easier on the gut.

LindaBC, can you have lemon pepper or lemon juice? I like it on veggies and meat. Maybe that will help out until you can have salt again.

Leens, I am sorry you got your feelings hurt. Some people speak before they think! You're lucky that you look good in glasses! Some people just can't pull it off.

PJ, I agree with Sue. You should have your doctor check you out. 2 week visits aren't quite right! Are you on BC pills?

Jiff, are you happy to be out of the hospital?

Sue, no bears!?

Ok, back to my pecking and reading. See you guys early in the morning!
