HOW THE HELL DID I GAIN 5 POUNDS IN ONE DAY?!?

I’m on the Slim-Fast 321 diet plan. and i’ve been on it for about almost 3 weeks and i have lost 8 pounds. I have not been working out at all until today around 1ish to 3-something. p.m and i checked the scale tonight and it says i gained 5 pounds! is this ok? will it go down in the morning?
-i think im about to start my period..but not sure.

Why would antibiotics not work?

Okay, wrote this question earlier but it didn’t save, so in a nutshell.

Got uterine infection 3 weeks postpartum, got given Metronidazole 400mg a day for 2 weeks – went away, then 3 days later it came back with avengance. Got more antibiotics same one but stronger dose 1500mg a day, having horrible side effects, now got thrush too in my throat and mouth, don’t know if the antibiotic is actually working or not, still feel the same now 4 days into the course. Had culture done for the bacteria which is apparently a very common type of anaerobe and Metronidazole is the most effective one to kill it, but for some reason it’s not going.

Can the following cause the infection to remain:

Stress and Anxiety, being slightly anemic due to loss of appetite through stress.

I’ve been on 3 lots of antibiotics now – a broad spectrum one when I was waiting for the culture result, then the first lot of Metro, then another swab – infection still there – more/stronger Metro. I’m now 7 weeks postpartum and have a lot of stress going on, I’m getting 5 hours’ sleep a night, my baby is now also sick at the moment so I’m trying to look after her too.

When I gave birth the placenta was in tact so the chances of anything being left in are slim.

Also, if I had a bad uterine infection wouldn’t I be in pain all the time? There is virtually no pain, I do get a muscle pain/pulling sensation in my groin when I first sit up in bed in the morning then it goes. But most of the time I just get stuff coming out of me and a heavyish feeling down there sometimes.

Is seriously confused……….?

Here it goes…..

I am really confused which day you go for the LMP. I was on yaz for 6 months. November 1-5 was my period. Then Mid November I got off the Yaz, and had abnormal spotting… not a normal flow,December 4-6. Then 3 day spotting December 19, 20,21st. THEN 2 wipes of blood January 4th. Then nothing since. The u/s on 1/29/2010 the u/s put me at 8 weeks along then. They gave me a due date of 9/21/2010, then with December 4th period they gave me a due date of 9/10/2010.

I had my 20 week u/s and the baby was showing 4 days sooner then that.

Then had a scan done at 26 weeks and it showed the baby was 3.5lbs, and my belly is measuring way ahead. Does not look like gestational diabetes. I am all baby.

I am really thinking November period is the one to go by, which would put me at 32 weeks along. I have been in the hospital with preterm labor contractions, I have been having snot like discharge that I believe is my mucus plug, I am 1/2 cm dialated. I have been nesting, and have a lot of energy. I really do think I am further along then than said with the u/s. It’s Womans/mothers intuition. I do not have any infections of any sort, I have seen this discharge for 4 days now. And it comes out in clumps. I have been in L&D so many times I cant count. They told me in the hospital that the chances in the next 2 weeks is slim that I will have him, but in the next month they think so. He is head down.

What do you think?
