I'm not sure how to explain my question so I hope it comes out alright. Thursday is my last injection. (yeh!!) Anyway, I've been sick (sorry for all of the whining on the boards by the way) And I lost 3 pounds over two days when I had diarrhea. So yesterday I ate a tiny bit more protein and fruit to get my strength back up, and today I was up .6 pounds. My question is with the ups and downs due to being sick (plus, I think I'm about to start TOM), I'm not sure how reliable my LIW will be. Has anyone else had that problem? What if the LIW is the LIW because of water weight or loss, etc.?? -

I bet it will even out by Thursday, Wendy. No worries about the weight loss. :-) The other issue is that you should not end with TOM beginning:
Similarly, the end of a course should never be made to coincide with onset of menstruation. If things should happen to work out that way, it is better to give the last injection three days before the expected date of the menses so that a normal diet can he resumed at onset. Alternatively, at least three injections should be given after the period, followed by the usual three days of dieting. This rule need not be observed in such patients who have reached their normal weight before the end of treatment and are already on a higher caloric diet.

Crap. I forgot about that part until I just read the post a few hours back. Hmmmm... I'm at my goal weight though. What does he mean by "this rule need not be observed in such patients who have reached their normal weight before the end of treatment and are already on a higher caloric diet?" I'm not sure what to do. I REALLY don't want to have to stop injections during TOM and then start back up because that will put me into Thanksgiving with p2. What happens if I just end on Thurs like I planned? Damn Tom. -

It means that if you've reached your final goal and upped your calories while still in P2 so you didn't lose more weight that the rule didn't apply. When is your TOM due? If it's not due until Friday you could discontinue your shots right now and make today your LIW. -

It was due two weeks ago. I'm just having really bad cramps today so I know it's close. I don't think I can stop today cause I'm doing the 23 day round and Thursday is the final day. I only have 2 more shots left too so I wouldn't be able to do 3 more anyway. Geez, didn't know this could get so complicated! Colleen, how much do I owe you??? You and Margie have helped me so much more than my expensive doctor!!! -

I think we just need to pray that TOM doesn't appear! :-)

I pray EVERY month that TOM won't appear!! Unfortunately, Mother Eve pre-empted that prayer when she partook of the fruit. :) -

I may end up with the same dilemma (I should start on or around the 22nd and my last subL day is supposed to be the 23rd). So unless it surprises me early (had the typical pre-menstrual headache earlier today) do I need to wait until after my period to stop? If I do then wendyh and I are in the same hCG boat (p2 @ Thanksgiving...which I didn't want.)
wendyh--thank you for not saying "apple". I don't know why everyone says that. It was, indeed, a "forbidden fruit". Snow White ate the apple, not Eve...lol -

hmmm.... i wonder what his reasoning was behind that rule? perhaps it was because your liw would not be particularly accurate? if i'm very dehydrated on the day of my liw, or retaining a huge amount of water, i just look at my weight for the past few days and pick a liw that i think is the most reflective of where i'm at when i stop- or just take that into consideration when i'm contemplating a steak day.
