I have a hard time with my hubbies parents - for 4 years his dad was on my case about a grandchild. Then we found out hubbie is azospermatic and i have pcos. Hubbie told them in confidence and his mother then told EVERYONE (we live in a very small town) We did the ivf and i got pregnant, 4 years later, and then our little…

Hi, I have taken HCG for fertility reasons - had absolutely no effect on my diet or appetite - the fertiltiy amounts you take differ to the ones on the hcg diet. What did hamper my weight loss though, was the cortisone and progesterone I also had to take. Good luck with your fertility treatment hope it works for you

yes, the nausea goes away after a while - think it lasted about a week. I have been on metformin for 6 years now

Hi, I am on Metformin for PCOS, and when first started it had some side effects - nausea etc. Hasn't really helped me lose weight. My Dr suggested a low Carb / low GI diet to deal with the insulin resistance

Going to try these - and hope I don't scoff the whole batch down at one sitting

Sorry about your loss - i know how it is, our pets become our babies. She waited for you to come home so she could say goodbye. Take care of yourself and allow yourself time to grieve without heaping on any guilt. She was your precious baby and you need to grieve for her

Ok so after yesterday I was gonna give up. But I just did day 2 so am proud of myself for not giving up. Feel like a jellyfish and shaking like a leaf. Can only hope it gets easier

holy crap i just tried it - did not enjoy it one bit!

I am planning on starting then too, so I'm in

I'm all over so I guess that would be a PUMPKIN

I did that too, but I have just ended up disappointed because I am way behind where I want to be! It sucks when the losses stall

Seeing as there are no health food shops in Zimbabwe and I grow my own salad veg, the healthy eating isn't costing me more- lucky me!

Yes! I used to eat at least 2 chocs a day and drink 2 litres coke. I have so much more energy now I stopped, and headaches have gone too. Husband says I am not so moody now - used to get very moody if I couldn't have a coke!

Beating the meat gets it from hard to soft fairly successfully

I cook mine with a tsp olive oil and lemon juice to cover with fresh herbs, then let it cool and poor the whole lot over a salad - the sauce then is a salad dressing

I have lost 8kg which is what? 17lb or so, and I am bleak that I haven't dropped a dress size. Clothes are looser but still same size. Guess they were extremely tight or something

This year marked the 2nd anniversary of our baby son's death and the 10th year since my mom died. Don't ever let anyone tell you to get over it - you never do you just gradually adapt to living with the pain of life without your loved one. Life is so unfair. On thursday I have to go to the funeral of a little girl I…

Thanks everyone. Can't get a HRM here in zimbabwe so will just assume its being over calculated

I have PCOS and am on Metformin. The Dr also told me to stick with an Atkins type diet, but a dietitian told me to do low GI. I have an incredibly hard time losing weight!

I am obsessed by the scale - its a demon that taunts me! I find myself on it everytime I walk passed it - which is constantly! Not funny to see how my weight fluctuates by as much as 1kg throughout the course of 1 day!!

Hi, feel free to add me. Just starting out AGAIN
