Default Re: feeling sorry for myself!

Just lurking (I have PCOS and IR) and wanted to ask if you've ever been tested for insulin resistance? Sometimes hormonal problems can make it really difficult to lose weight. Was your doc willing to work with you even if you couldn't lose the weight? Sometimes docs are unwilling to help overweight people to conceive, even though their weight may be a side effect of what is really wrong. IR can make it super difficult to lose weight and I've heard of lots of people who are IR and get put on glucophage/metformin and end up losing some weight or at least were able to maintain their current weight without gaining. I want to congratulate you on the 3lb. loss though...that is an impressive loss for one week, even though it probably doesn't seem like it at this point! Keep up the good work and if your doc hasn't checked for insulin resistance I'd ask him/her to do so. Good luck.

Karen
