Well ladies on the surface all appears tickety-boo for all of us! We're just waiting now to see if you have a period Machair!!
I do think the Vagifem is making a difference Sparkle. Out to dinner with pals the other evening, two medics present, and they agree that with my super sensitivity to hormone change that I'm probably right. The flushes have been greatly reduced and I suspect that it's also affecting my weight. I've put on about half a stone since Nov and I'm someone who never puts on weight.
Spent six weeks in California once and didn't put on an ounce!! Every PCP tried made me gain weight fast though I was forced to stop all of them because of side effects. I gained four stone with my first pregnancy, and despite virtually strapping my mouth up, three and a half with my next. I was a laughing stock especially as I'd always been really skinny. HRT was a nightmare with side effects and I started piling on the pounds almost immediately. As soon as I stopped the HRT the weight literally fell off me, a stone and a half in about four weeks without cutting back! I'm sure one of the HRT all singing and dancing brigade will drop by to insist that it's not possible for Vagifem to do this, but I'm sure it is. I've cut back my food intake dramatically since Christmas, and I'm very switched on regarding nutrition, and I'm losing nothing. I've been wearing size 10 Levis since 1994 and boy I'm struggling to get into them at the moment! Jeez, sore fanny or Bessie Bunter, what a choice!!
Haha, well whatever, I'm certainly not going to choose the sore fanny so I'm going to have to attack the weight gain with exercise too so that's my plan after Paris.
I'll watch this space Machair, let us know how you get along! xxx
