R4P2D10 (-9.4) up 0.8 from yesterday.....*sigh* I hope this is just a natural fluctuation.
I'm concerned that the antibiotics I started 2 days ago are interfering with my losses. I'll just have to wait and see. I have been POP (perfectly on protocol) this whole round. If I'm up again tomorrow or keep stalling for more than the 4-5 days seen normally than I may have to stop until I'm done these pills. That would so suck! I've been kicking it this round! I read up on the pills (tetracycline) and it says to avoid dairy, take on an empty stomach and it just so happens to make you lose your appetite.....I thought...perfect! I can do all that because I'm on protocol! But if it is going to cause me to gain!?!?! They also tend to cause nausea (totally feeling that one). I have to say, it is rather scary all the side effects this antibiotic can cause! Look at this list (and these are the more common side effects not the rare list): Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, mouth sore, black hairy tongue (YES! IT ACTUALLY SAYS BLACK HAIRY TONGUE!!!!), sore throat, dizziness, headache, or rectal discomfort (gee....how *nice*). The more "unlikely but serious side effects" include sunburn due to sun sensitivity, nail discoloration, muscle pain, difficult or painful swallowing, change in amount of urine, brown/gray tooth discoloration, numbness/tingling of the hands and feet, unusual fatigue, and new signs of infection.....Holy crap!!! BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE. "Rare but VERY serious (we weren't serious before????) side effects: hearing changes, persistent or severe headache, vision changes, easy bruising/bleeding, severe stomach/abdominal pain, yellowing eyes/skin, dark urine. This drug is known to cause a severe intestinal condition called Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea.....but it is in the rarely category (does this make it more likely than the 'rare but VERY serious' category???) It goes on to say that this could happen while I'm taking the pills or anytime from "weeks to months" following treatment! It lists even more on allergic reactions after all that (blood in stool, hives, oral thrush and yeast infections....just to name a few). Once it is done scaring the shit out of me it says: "This is NOT a complete list of possible side effects." Good Grief!!! I'd like to show this list to people who ask what the side effects of hCG are.....(the only side effects are those associated with rapid weight loss NOT the hCG. HCG is the same thing in our system when we are pregnant not a chemical like tetracycline which most people gladly consume to be rid of an infection).
So, now I play russian rolette with my body one pill at a time and wonder what will happen not only with my diet but my health in general. Here's the kicker.....I have to take them for 4-6 weeks. All because I got a patch of dry skin on my chin starting in Dec. (when I was not on hCG for those wondering). So far....no black hairy tongue ;-P
