I have been on the depo-shot for about 3 years now and havent had my period in about 2. Yesterday there was a bit of spotting and the only thing I can crack it up to be is because of the pre-op diet.

YES !! :scared2: I have an iud and haven't had a period in 3 years. I started the liquid diet and suddenly started a full fledged weeklong heavy flow period. I am NOT happy about this. I'm hoping its a one time thing

I had my period during my pre-op diet, but that was when it was supposed to happen. HOWEVER, it restarted a couple of days after surgery! It lasted 18 days with some very heavy days. UGH.

I have the Nuvaring and that makes me pretty regular. However, throughout this whole weight loss thing, I'll hope for the best because I heard that losing weight can effect your period.

Oooooooh crap :drool:

i was really hoping not to have to deal with this because I have extremely painful cramps. I have a Rx for naproxen from my doc for them and still have to double the dosage for some semblance of relief. But naproxen's an NSAID, right? And I know they don't want us taking those--pre- or post-op--because of the risk of ulcers (and thus erosion) :crying:

I really hope I'm not going to be unintentionally laid up before surgery even gets here. I think I'm just gonna put in my next Nuvaring after I take this one out and hope I can get 3 more weeks w/o TOM (or Aunt Rose, if you prefer) visiting
