Yes, I feel like crying all the time. It's tough to stay composed at work. I'm so thankful that I sit in a cube and don't have to socialize with others much. Today my eyes were so red. If someone had stopped by they would have wondered what was going on. I feel sorry for DH. He has to hear about it all the time. He's really good about it, but I still don't like to complain to him too much. No sense in both of us being depressed 
None of my doctors have ever said anything about my weight. But I think it might be a factor. In high school I think I was somewhat anorexic...never extreme, but probably wasn't as healthy as I should have been. I lost about 20lbs. from IBS/surgery too. According to my bmi I'm right on the borderline for underweight (18.6). And a lot of stuff I read says under 20 is low weight for getting pregnant. So, my attempt to gain weight is something I have decided. I guess I don't look underweight. Maybe that's why they never say anything. I'm quite petite (5' 3", 105 lb.), but still have a figure...a few curves. Last year when I went for my physical the nurse said my bmi was off the chart (too low to be shown)...seems to me like that should have been a red flag. But she didn't bat an eye. Anyway, no doctor has said so, but I think it plays a part to a certain degree.
Yes, I've heard good things about Spain too. I'm very excited! I did not do the quick passport. Hopefully it will come in time. It shouldn't take more than 3 months I would think. Have fun on your trip. You leave on my bday  You'll have to post pics when you get back...make us all jealous

I remember those hormonal days of crying very well. Hang in there, it will all be worth it in the end!  Since you are trying to gain weight anyways, go buy yourself a nice, big bag of chocolates!!!! Not the healthiest way to gain weight but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do!

My weapon of choice is ice cream Since I don't worry about IBS anymore I can eat it and not get sick. I probably eat ice cream or frozen yogurt at least 2 or 3 times a week. So far it hasn't done anything. Maybe I just need to eat more of it Although I do already make pretty large ice cream cones for myself...bigger than my husband eats!
Today I'm doing a lot better than yesterday. I'm really sick of these ups and downs. But I guess it's better than all downs :P

Ain't that the truth? The downs help us appreciate the ups.

I think that going off of BC has caused my IBS to go haywire. Holy Moly!  I've gotten so used to not having any issues that this kind of caught me by surprise. I'm going to run through all of my usual tricks to get it back in line, but yowzers!, well...you guys all know how it is.
I told the hubby he better get me pregnant quick (and he's feeling equal to the task)! LOL. I'm hopeful I'll be one of the lucky ladies whose symptoms ease up when they're pregnant.

Sorry to hear about the bc problems. I totally understand what it's like to have fluctating hormones...with my progesterone and estrogen pills. I'm on an emotional roller coaster. Today is day 7 out of 10 for my progesterone pills. I think I have adjusted to them now. We'll see how I'm doing when (if) AF shows up on Mon! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it won't...that I'll be pg. But I seriously doubt it.
Just some words of encouragement, Jules just had her baby on Friday...and her IBS is completely gone! Maybe you'll be lucky like that too.
Maybe this will be the month for both of us...I know both DHs would be very happy about it Good luck!

I've got everything back under control except the gas. It was always my worst symptom. I'll get it, though.

You know, my IBS didn't act up too badly when I went off BC. I do flare up around ovulation and right before my period, but it's not too bad overall.
Mary, I'm planning on testing on Tuesday (14 DPO), so I'll be right behind you in finding out if this is the month. I'm not really feeling anything different from normal, but who knows.

I will probably test on Tuesday as well if no AF. AF should start on Monday. And I know I won't be able to wait more than 1 day if it doesn't Keeping my fingers crossed for both of us!
