Where's my period?



Recommended Posts

Ok girls, I need your opinions.

My period hasn't come around in months. SInce July 05, I have had only one period, that was in September. I am not pregnant. What do you think it could be?

Just some info to help me figure this out:

I'm still very young (23)

I have given birth before, my son is 7 years old.

I am pretty heavy, but I have regular excercise and eat good. Not too little, not too much.

I am not banded.

I am not going through additional stress.

Life is pretty normal, except for not having a period.

I'm starting to miss having it.

Girls, please help me! Any advice will be great!

I had the same problems until I lost weight. It is really amazing what weight will do to your body. Call you gyn and I am sure he or she will tell you if you lost a little weight it would help. Then again it may not. I could really go 9 - 12 months with out one and then when I would get one it would be 2 -3 days. Being on the pill is only thing that helped me and now lossing some weight has helped.

Good Luck and call the doctor....

Maggie, I hope by now your cycle has came. I was very regular since I am on the pill and have been for 12 years. Since surgery 9/05 I have missed and have had weird cyles. I had 2 cycles in 9. 1 a week before surgery and then another the day after surgery which lasted a week. I did not have a cycle in November.

I agree with the other ladies, please go see your doctor. I also had very irregular cycles after banding. I guess it was just the effects of quick weight loss.. Good luck to you

I have a period about once every two years. My doc says it's because of my weight. Like everyone else said, I'd advise going to the doctor. I'll just bet it's related to being heavy.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
