anyone else gaining weight on metformin?

I started metformin on 05/12. started on 500mg. then after experiencing diarrhea daily my dr switched me to the ER version. no diarrhea thankfully. started taking it twice a day. continued my calorie deficit & treadmill 2x sometimes 3x a week. I started at 190 and now i’m 194!!! like HOW is that possible? i’m getting so frustrated. has anyone else had this problem? any advice is appreciated. I have an upcoming appointment to discuss maybe getting on a higher dose or trying something else.

Received a USCIS rejection notice for invalid payment, but my card was charged twice and I already got a biometrics appointment?

Has anyone received a payment rejection notice after already getting receipts and a biometrics appointment? Could this rejection notice be related to an extra payment/remittance rather than my actual AOS case?
Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!
I did noticed USCIS charged my card twice. I got text messages saying my payment was taken. Also, says my case is still active.

i’ve been married for a year and some months. I love my husband. I moved from my town to his. we live with his brother (who is unemployed) his wife, their kid. my husband’s mom, my husband’s step dad and his son. the bathroom is always occupied and so is the kitchen. I noticed today that his mom and stepdad got home at the same time. I knew the bathroom was going to be occupied. so I just decided to stay in my car & watch tiktok’s. my mother in law came to check on me asking why I didn’t wanna go inside. I just said I’d go in a bit. I feel like all I do is work and don’t have any friends to hang out with. it’s quit depressing. my husband called me asking why I was in my car. I honestly just wanted time for myself. his brother is always yelling and cursing, his mom fights with her husband and I just feel stressed out and overstimulated most of the time. I rather not be home. am I wrong for feeling this way?

hello ladies, i got what I assumed is my period sunday evening. I actually got it a few days earlier than expected. my period has always been normal. I took a pregnancy test a couple days before and it was negative. it started light and progressed a bit but today, tuesday. it's gone. I see a bit pink when I wipe. could it possibly be implantation bleeding? I had sex on my ovulation days about 13 days ago. this is the first time i've experienced this. could someone please tell me their experience. thank you!

my husband and I have been using the pull out method.
