My mere presence just does that to some. *snickers*

You are most welcome! Glad I could help!

I think the most important thing she can teach her child is how not to be rude- and it seems like she nailed it. We don't need to have the debate about who can and who can't control their weight, as we don't know who's struggling with issues like thyroid problems, uncontrolled PCOS, and a host of other conditions. Her…

I wish it did. There's only two things for me that losing weight didn't help with- the severe fatigue and excess facial hair growth. I still have to pluck/shave/wax every day. It didn't stop/slow it down at all. As for all of my other symptoms- dark patches of skin, hair loss (on my head), absence of period/ovulation,…

Some of the other ladies had mentioned PCOS, and that is a definite possibility. This is a thread about PCOS. If you'd like to read through it and see if you have other symptoms, this is a little guide with some questions and answers about it to help a little: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/30028111

I saw this post had recently been bumped, and wanted to post. I lost most of my hair due to PCOS. I had resorted to wearing "clip on" hair. I tried the prenatal vitamins, every hair growing product under the sun (as my parents owned a salon, and I was in/graduating from beauty school around this time). Nothing I did would…

Men in uniform. Tall men. Dominant Men. Older men. A tall, dominant, older man in uniform= perfection. (older meaning 40's and up) (No, I'm not looking, either. I'm married)

whilst and words ending in "naut", other than astronaut. I especially hate juggernaut. Even though it's not a single word, the phrase "If you will" just pisses me of to no end for some reason.

Helen- I had replied on your other thread, but I am going to reply here, too, because I want to make sure that you, and any other women who may be in a similar situation see this- PLEASE- seek a SECOND OPINION, or even third. With the extensive surgery you've had, and formal diagnosis of PCOS and endometriosis, in ONLY two…

Ok, I don't want to scare you, as I'm not a doctor, and can't diagnose you, HOWEVER if a surgeon went in and performed surgery on you- told you that you have endometriosis, in ADDITION to PCOS, sweetie, you aren't fine (no you're not dying, or anything of *that* nature, BUT you need to be under the care of someone who is…

Hi There Becky! First, I'm SO sorry that you're struggling with POP. I know that has to be difficult. I've been through physical therapy for pelvic floor dysfunction (I am an obstetric fistula survivor) and had severe damage to my sphincter from child birth and two surgeries to repair my fistula- so, I ended up in PT. Even…

Megan, you are such a beautiful young woman. My heart was hurting when I read your goals. I remember wondering if I was going to make it to 30. I didn't believe I was. I really thought I was going to die. My highest weight was 400lbs, and I suffered with a host of health problems stemming from complications of PCOS. You've…

Hi, Ashley! I've lived with PCOS for what my OB/GYN believes *most* of if not my entire life, but I didn't get a *formal* diagnosis until age 24, and was at 400lbs. I'm now at 221lbs today, and finally healthy! I'll be glad to be your friend and support you every step of the way! Here is a guide I wrote on PCOS that is…

Bumping to get out of the "Love potion spam threads" for people who need this.

That is AWESOME! I can relate! Even though I don't take hip-hop, at ballet, I'm the one with sweat rolling down my face and chest, (aside from the fact that we're in an un-airconditioned studio, I'm the 36 year old in with the teen girls. My instructor that taught the adult class was unable to teach again this year, so the…

American Horror Story. I wanna be Jessica Lange when I grow up.

Hi there! I take classical ballet! It's definitely not easy, especially since I started 3 years ago, but I love every minute of it! I'm working hard and hoping one day to be able to dance en pointe.

*seriously* All things Batman on this Tumblr acl2103.tumblr.com/

Exactly. Not *everyone* does, but most people who are buying a brand new car, are spending at the *very* least about 18 to 20K on a car, and the majority don't just have that in savings or lying around the house. When I have my surgery done, we're borrowing against my husband's 401K. That way, we're "borrowing against…

Yes. When I say yes, I didn't *use* Metformin for fertility. I use Metformin XR to stay alive. I'll post my success story so that it better explains it. My PCOS is so severe that I take Metformin XR and Byetta daily. I will most likely take this until the day I die, so I didn't take it to get pregnant, but I was on both…

Ok, this is good! This is what i was reading through here to find out. I would absolutely NEVER, EVER tell a cyster NOT to try to TTC, BUT, at the same time, I would highly encourage each cyster to evaluate where they are *as far as their PCOS being under control* before they get heavily into the TTC cycle. The reason I…

First, a HUGE CONGRATS on your BFP!!!! I live with PCOS as well and am the mother of one child. As women living with PCOS, yes, we are at a higher risk of first trimester miscarriage. This is often due to low progesterone levels or increased insulin levels. Talking to your doctor, and knowing if you're at risk/have…

Bless her heart, she's probably still a kid and doesn't know any better. :laugh: OP, I'd confront your friend, like some others have mentioned by phone. Be kind, but matter of fact. Get to the root of the issue, if indeed, there is one. If she has a problem with you, or if there's something wrong, you at the VERY least…

When I was pregnant, I had PICA SO severe, that 48 hours before I gave birth to my daughter, in less than 24 hours, I ate 100 Otter Pops. I had zero shame. None. I would've eaten more if I could've gotten my hands on them. Before that, my other box lasted me *roughly* 48 hours. I was craving ice so badly that I would've…

Just wanted to offer you a *HUGE HUG* So very sorry for your loss.

You're exactly right- we SHOULD, but as a society, we don't- THAT is the point, I'm making. Also, being a different race isn't a flaw. Being a different religion isn't a flaw. What I'm getting at with the post I made, was simply watch how people are treated. Watch how different people are treated when they go to a…

When I found out I was pregnant, I was *barely* pregnant, I mean, my Beta was *literally* like 14. I believe. I think I *still* had a week to go before my period. I actually went to see my FNP for a cold, but told her we'd been actively trying to get pregnant, so she tested me in the office with a stick test. She told me…

I don't really think anyone is asking you to care, or give a **** for that matter, but more or less, be respectful. Honestly, we should respect the dignity of every human being-- it is the right thing to do. If we want others to be good to us, we should, in turn, be good to them. It's good common sense. Don't go around…
