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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
