    So blueyedrmr and Grammy, just went to the bathroom... it's official. TOM is here. CRAP!!! I only have two needles left too. And oh, how I was sooooo looking forward to Turkey. ANd I have to cook for the whole family. PLUS, I have 3 HUGE zits on my nose. Could it BE any worse???

    blueyedrmr--Yeh, I always wondered why people thought it was an apple. They MUST be getting confused with Snow White. :) And now I selfishly have to say I hope you start your TOM so I can have someone to commiserate with. Grammy-- Are there ANY options??? And what's the dealio? No injections the whole way thru TOM and then finish up with 3 more?? (I'll have to buy 1 more from my clinic I guess)

    Well shoot. I was praying it wouldn't appear. :-( He says to skip through TOM then do three more days at the end but many now take their shots through TOM. I suppose you could just take your last 3 shots and guess on what your LIW should be. Sheesh, what a dilemma!

    i think i'd do that and take a chance, especially since you're at goal weight. finish up your shots and take your best guess at what your liw should be.

    I don't understand the rule at all. So lets say you are doing a long round and you start TOM the day of your 40th injection. Are you suppose to seriously stop injections through TOM, then take 3 additional injections which would put you at 43 injections?

    I think I would just go on as planned and do what Margie said about choosing your LIW, that is if there is an increase in your weight because of TOM. I thin that 50 years ago they were a lot weirder about TOM than they are today, maybe because we know more now.

    Okay. So that's what I'll do. I think if it weren't Thanksgiving, it would be different. But plus, since I've been so dang sick, I think I need to stop and get my body back to normal. So that's the plan. Thanks everyone!!

    Actually, wendyh, I'm praying that I do start tonight or tomorrow...lol.

    Linda Lou, you make an excellent point!

    I'm not at goal weight yet. I plan on a doing another round in Jan to get the remaining weight off. I guess I'll just risk it and go ahead and finish out my 23 days on Sat if I start on time and go by the weigh in day of the 24th as my LIW. Does that sound like it would be okay?

    blueyedrmr - I think that if you go with the 24th as your LIW you will be fighting all the time. There will possibly be a loss on your final 72hrs without hcg but that's a buffer since adding a regular diet will naturally put a couple of lbs on you just from the bulk and all that food processing, if nothing else. I think that's why Dr. S. said LIW.

    If you gain right at the end becasue of TOM maybe you could just subtract that gain and make that your LIW.

    But the start day of her Tom is not on her last shot so isn't she ok? Just keeping taking the shots?
