Hi
I went to see a great guy in Harley street privately called Mr Edmonds,
but my insurance only covered 2 visits with him as he is so expensive. I
see a speacilist called Mr Riddle in Woking, again privately. He is a
leader in the field, very honest and not to patronising. See if you can
get a GP referral to see him, it is really worth it. What meds have you
tried. I found Chlom horrendious, i gained 4 stone in 3 weeks and
became a complete loonie. I had a lap in October and miscarried in
December.Luckly I am not too hairy, just a few tash hairs and strong
bikini or spotty, but for me my wieght is a real issue. Iam tring to
loose , I have tried Atkins diet, exercise ect. I have lost 2 stone but
i seem unable to get below a size 18, 3 years ago i was a 10 and before
chlom a size 14, however if i do get pregnant i can live with that.
Really good luck for this round of treatmet, you can mail me direct on
"melaniepoxon@slough.gov.uk" taek care
