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.

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
