...this morning, for my 6 monthly pill check up. I was so looking forward to going, cos the last time I went was the day I joined SW and I was soooo looking forward to being weighed and the nurse noticing the loss! Except, I didn't see my usual nurse, it was a new one! She checked my weight, and even though my BMI is now under the danger line, she didn't want to give me my usual pill! She kept going on about the risk of DVT etc etc and spouting the medical dictionary!!
I note that I am now UNDER the BMI danger line!! I pointed that out and wanted to know if that was the case, then why for the last 10 years, have I been given the combined pill, seeing as I've been that weight for the last 10 years! She couldn't answer me!
Anyway, I got really angry, but kept it under control (phew!) She then checked my blood pressure, which was perfectly fine and did eventually prescribe me my usual pill.
I came away, still feeling angry, but even more determined to lose more weight. I've never taken much notice of my BMI, but now perhaps I should? She also gave me leaflets on other forms of contriceptives, which I'm gonna look into. Does anyone else have problems like this?
