I don't like whipped cream so I don't care for those frostings either. And it may be harder to lose weight once you're in your 30's but I have faith for you ladies that you can do it! My realization was when I heard the word diabetic. Quit soda that next day and started on these meds. It's worked so far. I weigh in June 9th at my weight surgeon consult. I'll let you all know what my weight loss is. It'll be a good 6 weeks in between weighing so hopefully I've lost at least 10 pounds but will be happy as long as it's less.

@HayleyAnne012911 There are some people who use progesterone for birth control, but this isn't really a birth control thing in this case. You take 1 pill a day for X # of days, & then a few days after you stop taking the pill, your period starts (the actual dosage is determined by your doctor). It's the synthetic version of the hormone your body creates during your cycle called progesterone, & sometimes your cycle just needs a little kick-start to re-regulate itself. Every doctor i have had has recommended at least 3-4 bleeds/year in absence of any other issue (i.e. clotting disorder, etc) where a quarterly cycle wouldn't be advised.
I just looked at my prescription history, and it looks like I had to take 10mg for 10 days, and then my period came about 5 days after the pill (some people get theirs sooner, some get theirs later). That was last spring, & I haven't had to take it since. The cost of the script was <$4 through the Kroger generics program. The generic name is medroxyprogesterone. I was regularly taking inositol & it alone did not regulate my period (even above 4g a day). Once I had my cycle re-started, between the inositol & the Metformin my cycle regulated.1 -
@aSearch4Me Thank you! I'll make an appt with my gyn. Guys I did however weigh in the other day (by mistake- was on a new higi machine that does blood pressure etc) I have lost 14.5 pounds in 3 weeks! I am so excited!

Progesterone only is mini pill I took. I never had a period because I was breastfeeding too. I spotted of and on though.HayleyAnne012911 wrote: »@aSearch4Me Thank you! I'll make an appt with my gyn.
