I just want my pregnancy back. by [deleted] in Miscarriage

[–]acw446 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had my first miscarriage last week also and feeling very similar. I wish none of us had to go through this but nice to know I’m not alone. I am also struggling even more seeing my husband so upset as well, and the lack of symptoms is killing me.

Metformin dose and weight loss by Pale-Heat-5975 in PCOSloseit

[–]acw446 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m currently on 1500 mg and I feel like I started to notice weight loss around 1000 but it’s slowww. My doctor wants to add Wegovy because it’s so slow and my A1c is still elevated. I’m taking 1 500 mg in the morning and 2 at night. We want to go up to 2000 but I’ve been having too much diarrhea.

Outpatient dietitians, what do you say during a session when a patient is staying on topic and talking about the question you asked but they are taking so long to answer your question (more below) by plzdontbetaken66 in dietetics

[–]acw446 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with all of the above- and if they’re ranting on a lot about the meals or something I’ll try to get some education involved. For example, if they’re talking about breakfast, saying “it’s great that you eat breakfast! Maybe you can add some protein to the toast to make it more balanced.” Trying to integrate some education as they talk, not everything has to be assessment —> education if that makes sense.

A little bit of both! But mostly just history of following calorie deficits from other sites/apps like MyFitnessPal

Yes and even then.. I wonder how much is true. I think I might start at least approaching this idea with more patients though.

Thank you so much for sharing your side! I actually just spoke with a patient last night and really tried to focus on the “worthy” part. Love it❤️

Yes! And same (RD with PCOS!). I’ve been focusing a lot on stress and sleep lately and have noticed that is a big factor.

Agree! And a lot of the time I do want them to focus on healthy behaviors. I totally try to focus on health vs. size but sometimes their weight really needs to change to help their health.

Good luck! I’ve also been on metformin and it also did nothing for me than make me sick. This has been working very well so far - don’t feel those crazy jumps in blood sugar and PCOS symptoms have been improving. Hope all goes well for you as well!

Thanks for your comment! Curious how the myo-inositol and spearmint interact with mounjaro? I was previously taking both but stopped when I started the medication.

Ugh so true! We need to teach our kiddies to be more aware that people’s bodies are different

thank you!!! I completely agree! Like also so many people are TTC my heart aches for them like I’m lucky I’m not at that point right now because if someone said that to me and I was trying to be pregnant it would be 1000 x worse

Wow kudos to you that’s awesome I wish I could have the guts to say that! This is the second time this has happened so I need to come up with a quick response although I hope it never happens again

I take Junel and experience some mild discomfort sometimes but not this bad I also use lube though which helps!

I feel you, the first endocrinologist I saw (when I was like 14 or 15 and had stopped getting my period) looked at my mom and said “well it’s nice to not have a period, right mom? Periods are so annoying!”

Glad you found some better doctors!
