I am wondering the same thing? I have stalled for the last 2.5 weeks, don't know if to call it a plateu or if my body just needs time to adjust. I have tried eating more and eating less to shake things up but no changes thus far. I guess I will know on Thursday when I go to my nutritionist for my 3 month check-up.

Kat! Congrat's - Keep it up........it only get's better from here right? My BEst to all!! maggie

Hey Jolynn, I too am on Ortho Evra Patch. I started it a few months prior to surgery because I was afraid of the malabsorptin of the pill. I am know to be "fertile myrtle" to my family so I wanted to make sure whatever I was doing would work. When I wanted to get pregnant, I went off the pill one month and was pregnant the next. So obviously my weight was not a factor in getting pregnant like I have read with other people. I have had no problems with the patch and it is much nicer than taking an extra pill everyday. 3 patches come in the box each month. 4th week no patch. You should talk to your OB and discuss what would work best for you. Good luck.

Congrats Kat on a job well done. I also have a hard time with fluids. I can only get in about 40 oz a day and that's pushing it. All we can do is try our best. Good luck.
