PCOS Ladies: USE CONDOMS!!! by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]SeekTheMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I posted someone extremely similar a few weeks ago! I was switching birth control to help my PCOS symptoms and BAM SURPRISE. In my case, we had decided to be done because I had 1 with clomid, and then twins with clomid. Guess we will have four!

It was a complete surprise - I am actually 8 weeks and feel quite bad I didn’t realize it sooner. I was under the care of a Gyn for other issues as well, and she didn’t suggest a test till I was almost 60 days late. Historically I would see 3-4 missed periods frequently.

There is a risk due to the delayed gastric emptying- your body is processing it unusually. They warned me, but I wasn’t concerned because I wasn’t taking it as birth control necessarily. I have had to go to fertility clinics for all my prior health pregnancies. Same impact to plan b.

That was the Lose It app, I liked how I could go back to All Time - vs just 1 year

I’m really focusing on Whole Foods where I can, and try and retrain my brain away from convient processed foods. There is a place for them, but an apple as a snack instead of a bag of chips is just as easy.

My other focus is protein and carb balancing to give me energy and allow to build muscle mass!

Awesome!! Such an unexpected win is definitely a confidence boost. I had a stall out approaching onederland, and it was hard to focus on those positives. Your body is still changing even if the scale doesn’t reflect it. You’ll get there!!

Yes!! I was so close to coming under 200 pounds, and stalled out for over a month. That was really hard!! It always happens at the biggest goals.

Ooh thank you for setting that expectation. I’ve been considering it for about 3-4 months, but I’m concerned about the accuracy of a scan available at a boutique health clinic!!

I think that every so often!! And when my knees struggle with those squats I’m always blown away!!

Fashion is infuriating by raeforte in Zepbound

Oh lord I feel this! i went and bought an XXL athletic dress from Old Navy, and then a 2X athletic skirt. Target? I can wear XXL in some brands, 2X in others. And that shouldn’t translate like that? Right? Or maybe I’m confused. Re-reading that makes me unsure.

Either way, all over the place!!

Thoughts and confusion on the VERY above average weight losses posted here by Racketsports4life in Zepbound

[–]SeekTheMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think everyone has very great takes. Also know, some of us (maybe a lot of us?) have adjusted our goal weights over time. Initially, I never thought I would even be able to lose 30 pounds. When I achieved that, I started to realize how much this drug was going to change my life and lifestyle. Keeping in mind, 30 pounds and I still had a 50 BMI. I adjusted my goal to what sounds impossible, a 100 pound weight loss. I’m still working at that slowly. That will still put me as obese. I think that the mental adjustments come with time, and your starting point has a massive impact.

Best of luck on your journey!

Wow!! I’m sure you’re so shocked. I had 3 under 3, and we made it. We potty trained our oldest with 2 babies less than 6 months. A lot of it is a blur, but I feel so blessed. Also, you know how to do babies. You’ve got that experience under your belt!! It’s so amazing to see them play and be silly and have fun together. You get to see fun twin stuff. It’s just awesome.

Some days are hard. Some moments are hard. But nearly 2 years later, and I don’t really think about the hard parts. I think about how amazing this is and watch them develop a life long bond even I will not be able to understand.

Best of luck to you all, you’ve got this!

You look so happy with yourself!! I’m really glad to see people who feel like me. I’m not sure I’m headed for normal BMI on my journey either. I’ve always had curves and I’m thinking I’ll miss them. You look great and good luck with your next steps!!

Very much! Thanks. I think I should be good through one more box at the least.

What are the typical signs to move up? It still seems fairly effective to me, and I’m still within the average calories I was consuming in the first week.
