Vanity Sizing

Okay, so I at first thought it was an Old Navy fluke of vanity sizing, but Jen and I went "school shopping" last weekend so she could get some new fall shirts for work. We hit up the mall and I went into Filene's Basement to look for some deals.
I ended up getting a skirt (another skirt, what is UP with that?) and a pair of dress pants. I guess I really AM a size 12 these days.
That's just WEIRD. When I started taking Metformin in February '05, I wore men's 36s, and usually a women's 16 (sometimes an 18 depending on cut). No exercise, no dieting, SOME better food choices. It's a crazy drug.
I think I've finally stopped losing weight, though, which is good. I started getting concerned when I hit the 30lb mark. My weight at my last IUI was 152.

Date: 2006-09-04 11:04 am (UTC)When I started going to the fertility specialist, he doubled the dose to 2000mg/day and I dropped more weight. I think it has levelled off now but we'll see. He said that minimum therapeutic dose for PCOS with Metformin is 1500mg, and 2000mg works better. Since starting that, I get a period on my own (without any drugs) every 35 days or so with natural ovulation around day 20-21. So in that case the higher dose has really worked the way it was supposed to (cycles) as well as the way I wanted it to (weight).
