Measure

I am now on my 3rd cycle of Phentemine started on 30Oct2014.

I have dropped a total of 4.4kg from 30Sep14 to 3Jan15 from 93.5kg to 89.1kg.

I have a long way to go.....

I think i have drop sizes from 2XL or sometimes 3XL to a size L.
(evident from wearing (1)Marks and Spencer panties size 14, Cotton On dress size L) But people close to me and around me always still think i'm fat.

My ultimate aim is to lose the weight, so that my hormones can be back to normal. So that i can have a normal menses cycle and not worry abt prolong menses that god knows when it will stop.

The last one that i'm having now, had it since 28Dec14 till date. But it looks like it's finishing. I got panicky 2-3 days ago when it gives no sign that it's stopping.

Doc change my hormone medicine.
from Marvelon on 30Oct14 change to Norethisterone on 11Nov14 because my body is immune to Marvelon, not responding to Marvelon at all and on 3Jan15 she change it to Gynera.
Why she change is because Norethisterone is too strong and she would want to avoid it at all cost where possible. But taking Norethisterone, means i could get pregnant. But seeing that my body is not responding well to it ... she change to a milder one. And Norethisterone also causes painful cramps when period comes.
Gynera is milder but the bad side of it ... i won't get pregnant.

Some tech specs on the medicine.

Marvelon (ethinylestradiol and desogestrel)

Marvelon tablets are a type of hormonal contraception commonly known as 'the pill' or combined oral contraceptive pill. Marvelon tablets contain two active ingredients, ethinylestradiol and desogestrel. These are synthetic versions of the naturally occurring female sex hormones, oestrogen and progesterone. Ethinylestradiol is a synthetic version of oestrogen and desogestrel is a 'third generation' synthetic form of progesterone.

Combined oral contraceptives like Marvelon work by over-riding the normal menstrual cycle. In a woman's normal menstrual cycle, levels of the sex hormones change throughout each month. The hormones cause an egg to be released from the ovaries (ovulation) and prepare the lining of the womb for a possible pregnancy. At the end of each cycle, if the egg has not been fertilised the levels of the hormones fall, causing the womb lining to be shed as a monthly period.

The daily dose of hormones taken in the pill work mainly by tricking your body into thinking that ovulation has already happened. This prevents an egg from ripening and being released from the ovaries each month.

The hormones also increase the thickness of the natural mucus at the neck of the womb, which makes it more difficult for sperm to cross from the vagina into the womb and reach an egg. They also change the quality of the womb lining (endometrium), making it less likely that a fertilised egg can implant there.

Norethisterone

Norethisterone is a man-made form of *progesterone, a naturally occurring female sex hormone. It is referred to as a progestogen and it has a number of uses. Low doses are used to prevent pregnancy, or as hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Medium-strength tablets such as Primolut N® and Utovlan® are used to treat heavy periods (menorrhagia), and high-strength tablets are sometimes used in some female cancers such as breast cancer. 

Norethisterone is used to treat heavy periods. Although other treatment options for heavy periods are more common, norethisterone is sometimes considered if other treatments have not worked or are unsuitable. Norethisterone treatment aims to reduce the amount of blood loss. When taking norethisterone in this way, it does not act as a contraceptive.

*Progesterone is one of the hormones in our bodies that stimulates and regulates various functions. Progesterone plays a role in maintaining pregnancy. The hormone is produced in the ovaries, the placenta (when a woman gets pregnant) and the adrenal glands. It helps prepare your body for conception and pregnancy and regulates the monthly menstrual cycle. It also plays a role in sexual desire.
During the reproductive years, the pituitary gland in the brain generates hormones (follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH] and luteinizing hormone [LH]) that cause a new egg to mature and be released from its ovarian follicle each month. As the follicle develops, it produces the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone, which thicken the lining of the uterus. Progesterone levels rise in the second half of the menstrual cycle, and following the release of the egg (ovulation), the ovarian tissue that replaces the follicle (the corpus luteum) continues to produce estrogen and progesterone.
Estrogen is the hormone that stimulates growth of the uterine lining (endometrium), causing it to thicken during the pre-ovulatory phase of the cycle.

Gynera

Is a brand of oral contraceptives - otherwise known as "birth control pills" made by the pharmaceutical group Schering AG. It contains a formulation of Gestodene 0.075 mg and Ethinylestradio 0.03 mg combines in a single pill. One would not menstruated while on Gynera. It effectively prevented ovulation and thus, unintended reproduction during sexual congress. 

Gynera can be bought off the shelf without a prescription. It contains 30 mcg of ethinylestradiol and 75 mcg of gestodene. 

Ethinylestradiol is a man-made form of the naturally occurring female hormone called oestrogen. It is prescribed to treat period (menstrual) problems, and also to help ease menopausal symtoms. It is usually prescribed alongside another female hormone called a progestogen. Ethinylestradiol is used to supplement or replace the body's natural oestrogen. It helps to relieve many of the problems associated with the menopause, such as hot flushes, night sweats and vaginal dryness. It can also help to protect against osteoporosis (thinning of the bones) although other treatments are usually preferred for this.

The main use for gestodene is as an oral contraceptive. Gestodene is a synthetic version of a female sex hormone. It mimics the naturally occurring female sex hormone progesterone, which is partially responsible for regulating the menstrual cycle. In order to be effective as a contraceptive, a synthetic version of the other female sex hormone, estrogen such as the ethinylestradiol, is combined with gestodene. When combined, it interferes with a woman’s menstrual cycle, decreasing the symptoms of severe menstruation and preventing pregnancy. Used correctly, it is more than 99% effective at preventing unwanted pregnancies. 

The combination of synthetic hormones used in gestodene-based contraceptive pills works by interfering with the normal menstrual cycle. By releasing a steady amount of these hormones into the bloodstream, contraceptive pills fool the body into thinking that it is already pregnant. The ovaries do not release a new egg into the fallopian tubes while a woman is taking gestodene because the hormonal levels in the blood indicate that a pregnancy is already underway. Usually, a woman takes contraceptive pills for 21 days straight and then stops taking them for 7 days, at which point she begins menstruation.

In addition to its primary use as a contraceptive, gestodene treats disorders of the female reproductive system. It can be used to treat endometriosis, which is a condition in which tissue that is similar to the uterine lining grows on the outside of the uterus or on other parts of the reproductive system. Additionally, women may be prescribed this medication in order to prevent unusually painful or severe periods.

There are many different variations of synthetic female sex hormones. Gestodene works at least as well as other synthetic progesterones in its ability to prevent pregnancy and control the menstrual cycle. The advantage of this hormone over other similar drugs is that a lower dose of it is needed to produce results. Most pills containing this medication contain between 50 and 100 mg of the drug.
