A LITTLE OT...wtf?

So after getting a diagnosis of PCOS....which I don't believe btw ( i think it's all adrenal and estrogen dominance)...
I started using Natural Bioidentical Progesteron cream. As some of you have read, I feel WAY better! However, while My PMS symptoms have diminshed, I still feel some like irritability (Af is due to arrive around the 5th) but still, i'm doing much better than normal as my PMS just started last night and usually starts 10 days BEFORE af...
I'm peeved though b/c i 've been on a low carb/low calorie diet and I feel/look live I've gained! i've had lower abdominal fat for a while now ( a clue something is wrong as this is not norm for me) but now, the upper part of my abdomen, directly below my breasts...is bloated! WTF? How does this happen from a low carb low cal diet? I'm supposed to lose weight dangit!!!!  I swear, I look like i'm 6 months pregoo and of course I"m not! (not preggo at all)....
UGH!
Okay...just wanted to complain since DH says I shouldn't gripe and should just give it time! he doesn't understand! And i'm exercising too!! :(

so ya'll think that this is maybe pms? I've never been bloated from pms like this before (i don't think i'm pregnant though) and I was thinkin maybe it was from the progesterone cream but i can't find anthing on that. Maybe my hormones are getting balanced so now i'm experiencing the typical pms bloating....? I want to LOSE WEIGHT! not gain it....damn! :)
Linzola....oh i'm fine! Just complaining but otherwise a happy camper! I love the positive effects from the progesterone cream and hope they only get better in time!

Itcouldhappen....at least you lose the weight! If i gain...i can't lose! seriously.... :( So hopefully it'll go away! :) if not i'll have to wear spanx!!! heheh

Hey I was going to ask how you have been but I guess not so hot.  I am sorry that you are not having luck right now, but I am sure it is just PMS.. Before I was pregnant when I was going through PMS I would get really bloated and look like I had gained weight.... I wish you the best.....
