@JulieSHelms - that is a fantastic, inspiring story!! And you're an organ donor!! Congrats on all the success. I'm hoping to see the same hair loss success that you and @spiritsattain saw. Switching BC brands helped for a few months but I'm back to losing again. Started taking 50mg of Spiro twice a day in July but just had…

I had read both of those! Fortunately it's covered by my insurance (which for some reason gives me good feels) and we've actually hit our out of pocket max for the year due to some other fun stuff. So, I think it'll be a good starting place. I'll let you know how it goes. I've got some vacation time next week so I'm…

Thanks! I think I misspoke. I think it's a ketogenic plan. I did ask about a cancellation list but they said to just keep calling. My PCP, who I really like, highly recommended her so I'm hopeful this will be a good fit.

Thanks KnitorMiss! I'm looking at all the supplements and I talked to my doctor. She suggested Mediloss which is a low carb, high protein plan. I'm going to meet with them end of next week. I also got recommendations for new endos. Of course, new patient appts are in November!! I'm going to keep calling though and hope for…

I'm beyond frustrated. I have an appointment with my PCP next week. I took the January appointment with the fancy endo. I just don't want to sit around and wait until then to do something. Scale hasn't moved in days and I'm working so hard. I don't know what else to do. Errr.

And my endo basically said we can check your TSH if you want but the other tests aren't necessary. There's a very well known PCOS endo in my area but his next appt for new patients is in January. I'm hoping my PCP will at least check my insulin. I'm so frustrated.

Thanks KnitorMiss. Your advice has been tremendously helpful!!

Thank you! For replying and the compliment. I'm trying to be nice to myself but it's hard. I haven't been drinking as much as I should so I'll work on that. And I'm going to ask my doctor for the fasting insulin test. I don't see my endo until October but hoping I can get blood work prior to the appt. What do you mean by…

Thanks so much for your reply. I'll ask about the fasting insulin. I haven't tried myo-inositol but I'll check it out!

Thanks. My husband says the same about daily weighing but in the past, it's kept me so motivated. I had the perfect day last week. FitBit said I took 17.8K steps, covered 8.5 miles, 83 active minutes, 26 flight of steps and burned 2722 calories. MFP said I ate 1063 calories. I woke up 1.2 lbs heavier. I haven't tried…

Thanks! I'll start to work on a more comprehensive post to go over what I've got going on!

Thanks! I really appreciate how active you are on this group!

I would like to participate as well! Invitation please.
