That sounds so cute, Electricat! Hopefully you get to use it soon!

AFM,
I got Clomid! Now I'm waiting for AF any day. I'll take the Clomid (50mg) CD3-7. Hopefully it works!

 

[stuckinoki]

^^ I hope AF comes for you soon!

I hated clomid....get ready for cystic acne and HULK mood swings...I swear I could have thrown cars while I was on that stuff. lol.

 

[GingerPanda]

ROFL

Oh man. That sucks. PCOS already gave me a chinful of acne. I don't need more.

 

[stuckinoki]

Girllllll, not to scare you, but I'm talking the HUGE, RED, so far under the skin you can't even touch them without flinching, never will ever get a head, you'll have to rip your skin off to get at them, cystic acne.

But, I have crap skin anyway and PCOS totally makes it worse. lol. But the clomid sure as hell didn't help the situation!

 

[GingerPanda]

Eeeeeew. Boo! This shit better work!

 

[Bibliophile]

Ginger, have you picked up the black soap yet?

 

[GingerPanda]

I looked and couldn't find any in stores! Still looking though. Walgreens only carries it in certain locations.

 

[Bibliophile]

Ah. I didn't know that. I've seen it on Amazon, too.

 

[stuckinoki]

What the hell is black soap? It sounds kind of racist.....lol

 

[GingerPanda]

LOL

African black soap. Google it. It's supposed to be amazing for your skin.

Oh Ginger! Good luck with the drugs and get a facial if it starts to get too bad! I also have adult onset acne.... can't remember if I told you this already, but since I got off the pill two years ago it has been really bad at times. Living in tropical heat doesn't help it! My jaw line suffers the most... I figure that's better than having massive ones in the middle of my face, right? I think its from PCOS as well.... I just wish it would go away! I don't wear any make up and wash my face two or three times a day, which helps. Good luck girl!

 

[vietmamsie]

CD23 and no O in sight. I guess I have officially lost too much weight. Hopefully things get moving in there as I move from weight loss to maintenance mode. Plan to up my calories in the coming weeks and add more exercise.

On a brighter note, I got that job, but the contract is screwy. Hope we can negotiate to better terms, otherwise It's just not really worth it.

 

[GingerPanda]

Oh, I hope you can work out the contract!

 

[Sbmack]

Congrats on the job, Viet. I hope you can work it out with them!

 

[Bibliophile]

LOL

I'm amazed. I never had more than a couple pimples at once (even during my teens) until the last 18 months or so. And it's been BAD since then. I tried different commercial remedies, oil cleansing, and just giving up (lol). Nothing worked like this soap does. Plus it's cheap & natural, which give it big points in my book.
It's ash and something else, so it is black and will turn your surfaces (temporarily) gray. Lol.

 

[Bibliophile]

Good luck, Viet!

We get keys to the new place tomorrow! Yay!!! Which gives me alllll week to clean that place, start moving little things, and finish packing/cleaning here.

So it's for acne?!?! YES>>>>>>>>> My face is awful Stupid inbalanced hormones. lol. We have a walgreens right downtown, I'll have to see if they carry it.

 

[GingerPanda]

Yay, Bibliophile! Congrats on getting keys!

Stucki: Some Walgreens stores carry it, and some don't. Mine doesn't, so I would have to drive into downtown Cincinnati to get it. And I would infinitely prefer getting it delivered to my house than go into downtown alone.

 

[Bibliophile]

Yep, Stuck, it is. It will dry your face out, though, so be sure you have some good moisturizer on hand. The bar I have has shea butter in it, but I still usually need moisturizer after I use it.

 

[stuckinoki]

Dry out is what my damn overactive oil glands need. I'm like a 15 year old working the deep fryers at burger king....gross.
