No Rosie, Its not an alternative contraceptive pill and i cant see where i suggested it was? I did however mention when i came off dianette, I had turned to the "deppo jab" (deprovera contraceptive injection) when i chose to be treated with metformin for my PCOS. It is thought that Metformin...

I got dressed Clara , i shined my sink..and like you my hotspot is also the kitchen table!! and today i won! Its a hassle Isnt it HP, my mother in law is coming to stay next week, and although i love her to bits she is such a nag, not only about the house but the garden too! Im not looking...

Ahhh i getcha... They put me on that when i was originally diagnosed at 13...but i stopped taking it as it made me put on more weight (and trust me i was already a big little lady!) ...but to be honest as i got older i never really got on with any type of oral contraceptive..so i had the deppo...

Thanks Guys, There were a few reasons behind slim fast..Me and OH are doing this together and he is TERRIBLE at eating anything good for him..astoundingly fussy..ive tried doing slimming world before with him and it was a total nightmare..ended up cooking two seperate meals...so really its not...

Its a drug used to treat PCOS, they use it for diabetes too..but why on earth did your doctor take you off dianette knowing you had PCOS?...xx

YUP, ditch the pill, demand metformin xx

Once again i agree, but i just feel she should feel she is among caring people rather than those who shun what is to her a carefully thought out plan as just stupid..i just think its best to keep her here rather than scare her away with pure bluntness xx

Fillymum well said! i would sell my grandmother for her BMI...would even throw in her shortcake recipe...., i bet she gorgeous, always the same with these twonks, dont know a good lady if it smacked em on the nose x

As much as i agree with EVERYTHING you ladies have said...i do feel that vocalising your opinions in a certain way does more harm than good..Instead of coming back for decent advice which is in abundance here..its a horrifying thought that this lady is going to take one look at the replies that...

Tracy hun, i really do think you should just stop stressing, you are only just 24 right??...SOO much time, im 29 next and have just got my head round just relaxing, doing what i can, and letting happen with the help i need.Im desperate too, but you sound so desperate so young? just chill babe :) xx

It was a 6 stone loss that became a 6 stone gain when i fell in love again! Yes I should imagine you are terrified!, i bet your life has revolved around your husband and children for a long time...you will never be a "part time mum" your just going to have more time to spend on your lovely self...

What a rubbish situation, but to put a harsher light on things could it be that this is the best thing that could happen to you?...I have been in this situation before, we were not married but had 7 years together..and the motivation and determination to sort my phisical and mental health out...

Hi Gemma, What kind of advice were you after hun?..i was diagnoised when i was 13 and have every symptom going, but it does vary massivley, and there are a few treatments out their that help a lot too. Unfortunatley it generally depends on how firm you are with your GP as to wether you get...

Personally, i couldnt care less...being overweight is like an addiction, an illness..something that once we are all successful are going to have to be so careful not to relapse with for the rest of our lives..I value my quality of life and my future more than the choice of words used to describe...

Definatley, When i gained the weight back and my symptoms got worse as a result i knew exactley what i had to do, because us ladies know ourselves better than Mr Quack...i went into new doctor, told her i was now losing again and how, and needed to resume metformin ( a drug thats been used for...

it takes around 6 weeks for a refferal hun, so what i personally would do is leave it till you think you are realistically 6 weeks away from what ou need to be, based on the rate of loss you have had through your journey...Then yeah, go bug your doctor :-) I had a fab one before i put all the...
