I am so sick.....I'm retaining 6 lbs of water!!!!!

I stopped this medication a three days ago (it's a hormone used to regulate Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome)...

Three days ago I was 108 lbs, today I am 114!!!

I feel like I'm having hot flashes, nasaeau, and I'm bloated beyond belief!!!!

I have to stop this medication for two months before I can TTC. I have to call my MD tomorrow, but he never said anything about weening myself off the meds (which I'm sure is what I should've done).

I'm miserable...thanks for letting me rant

Maybe that's what my weight problem is - can I retain 30 pounds of water?

Seriously though - hope you feel better soon

Feel better!

I know it sounds bizarre, but when you're bloated the best thing to do is have more water. I have been on meds that made me retain water, and that was what my doc told me to do.

I can relate. I'm dealing with Aunt Flo and I'm retaining so much water that I can't wear my rings!

I'll second the suggestion of drinking more water. It does help.

I hope you feel better soon.
