anotherusername, padme's side effects are not typical with BO and are probably due to her genetics or hormonal levels. So give it a shot for yourself before deciding it's not worth trying.
Padme, your bf must not know anything about fitness. Any fitness person will tell you that protein ADDED to regular diet will make you gain weight. It is only a good weightloss aid IF you were using the shakes to replace a meal. Like if you didn't eat dinner and used the shake as your dinner, then yes you will lose weight. But not if you are adding it to your existing eating habits. Now as far as feeling tired. It sounds to me like you are having pregnancy symptoms, which could be the increased hormones OR you could be pregnant. I suggest for the sake of a maybe unborn child, go get tested, don't just rely on over the counter urine tests, go to a Dr and get tested there. It's better safe then sorry. I mean you said you had the pins and needles like your mom did while she was pregnant, now you are overly tired. Are you having food cravings? Headaches? Heartburn? Nauseousness? I never had nausea while I was pregnant, but I was extremely tired after a certain point in my pregnancy, I had heartburn daily throughout my pregnancy, and I have specific food cravings that were forever changing. I don't mean cravings like oh I'm in the mood for such n such. I mean I didn't want to eat at all unless I had the thing I was craving, nothing else was appetizing. Now if you are without a doubt 100% sure you are not pregnant, then it may be the hormones causing pregnancy symptoms. But let me tell you, having your period does NOT mean you AREN'T pregnant! I had mine the first 3 months of my pregnancy! I didn't know I was pregnant until I was 3-4 months along. I have talked to women who had babies and didn't know they were pregnant at all, just all of a sudden went into labor and gave birth to full term healthy babies! And no I'm not talking about overweight or obese women, I mean thin ones too! They said they were thin the entire time. And I believe it because my cousin was a size 3 her entire pregnancy and had a 7lb baby! She found out she was pregnant during a papsmear. So yea, you never know. If you have sex at all, protected, on the pill, doesn't matter, it can still happen! Sorry to be long winded I just don't want the worse to happen here. Hope you figure it out though hun!
