Try not to get discouraged. Go ahead and ask about what he recommends you do. See if he can give you a referral to a dietician(sp?) or nutritionist. Is there a Hy-Vee grocery store near you? Some of them have dieticians who work full time in the store. If you think the birth control pills are contributing talk to your doctor to see if they can switch you to different pill; maybe one w/a little less hormones? Not sure about it but it won't hurt to ask. If you ever need to talk or vent we are all here. :) Post any time. Good luck.
