      From juleslynn September 20

      I am so sorry you are going through this again. I understand the emotions that you are feeling-- I've been going through them, too. I'm at almost 11 weeks post m/c and had a rough weekend due to certain situations. Plus PMSing sure doesn't help any at all! Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers!

    • Close Miscarriage

      We just lost our 2nd baby to miscarriage. We went in to see if the baby was growing normally and found out that he/she had died @ 11 weeks. I had a D&E on Monday and I am dreading going back to work and school. I also find it hard to be alone in my own house.

      Treatments

      D&C Considering
      I'm certainely glad I didn't let myself miscarry naturally. I don't think I could have handled seeing my baby in a toilet or on a pad.
      Xanax Somewhat Helpful
      I only took one at the insistence of my husband because I was almost hysterical and having chest pains. It relaxed me but I could barely function the next morning. All I did was sleep the next day.
    • Close Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

      I jhave PCOS and would like to meet other women who do.

      Treatments

      Metformin Somewhat Helpful
      I am currently not on it but it seemed to help a little.
      Oral Contraceptives Somewhat Helpful
      I am currently trying to concieve, so I am not taking it now. It did help to regulate my cycle.
    • Open Diabetes Type 2

      I am diabetic and would like to connect with others like me.

      Treatments

      Glipizide Somewhat Helpful
      Along with diet, it helped a lot.
      Humalog Working / Worked
      My blood sugar currently runs between 70 and 90 depending on what I eat.
      Metformin Somewhat Helpful
      It probably would have helped more if I took it regularly but I didn't like the side effects.
