I've lost count

So I didn't get to posting yesterday and need to update after my scary off protocol weekend I didn't weigh until yesterday which now I'm thinking I should of, I know I went up and mondays number was probably high but what can you do I didn't so moving on heres what I had Tuesday
173
-5.5 from load

And today
171.5
-1.5
-7 from load

We are going the right way now but I got to admit its troubling to know had I skipped that night out how much lower it could be! Can't change it so might as well suck it up... It is what it is! So I've been reading some new info at sugarfreegoodies dot wordpress dot com (it won't show as a link idk) and its very impressive, also hugely confusing to me still as I'm trying to sort through it all. I have pco and hypothyroid and I'm suspecting that the fact that I've been on metformin so long is the reason why hcg works for me in the first place. I haven't been tested since I originally went on it for insulin resistance. When my endo at the time put me on it they were just starting to find out that it helped pco and what landed me in his office to begin with was the fact that I wanted kids and knew there was something very wrong with my body. At that time the internet was just getting popular and I started digging for answers, I wasn't about to be satisfied with "well you might not have kids" then I found that there was some luck giving women merformin and I begged and he said no, then I pleaded and still the answer was no we just dont know enough. So I printed everything I could find about it and brought it in and finally he said "ok we will test you and see if your insulin resistant but I'm only giving it to you if you are." Well I was but just barely he said and wrote the script with I stern "we will try this but not for long" Boy was that hard, there was no er then so you had to go on it slow and man did it make me sick! Months of being nauseous and tmi but my intestines oh my! Within a month I got tom, which came on its own a few times a year if I was lucky, I never ovulated because of the pco. I didn't get regular right away but slowly life became more normal and the acne that I battled forever went away. I WAS NEVER GOING OFF THIS DRUG...NEVER! That endo left the practice and over the years I fought hard to keep my miracle but I won, I even refused to go off during pg due to the high m/c rate and odds of on ges diabetes, I signed a few papers on that let me tell you! What troubles me now is my daughter, 50/50 odds of her having pco, those arent good and I already know in my heart she does, I can see it even though shes only 8. It scares me bad because what if shes worse than me, what if she is one of the ones who weighs 300 plus and can't loose even starving. I dont want that for her. I'm more armed with knowledge then my mom ever was but that doesn't mean I can stop it. My gyn told me last year when I went on the pill I could go off the met cuz the pill would make the pco dormant, hmmmm now that doesn't compute and sure shows how little they still dont know. Metformin will be my companion for life, I firmly believe if its not type 2 diabetes and a whole slew of other bad things would be my future so needless to say I'm excited about this info to say the least! Oh and I'm seeing a new endo in two days please let him be open minded!
