tanqueray 16 Posted September 29, 2011 I went months. It's the hormonal inbalance. I was even on the pill and continued spotting and or bleeding. Months I tell you. Two years out and it still happens if I loose a lot of weight or gain some. Argh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amiller1010 2 Posted September 30, 2011 The same thing happened to me. It will get better. I was on mine for 6 weeks. It sucked. The doc did all the tests and everything was fine, so she said it was hormones from losing weight. It finally stopped about a week ago! I was excited for that, but I haven't lost any weight since I quit my period, wonder if people retain Water or bloat after their period...I never used to keep track.

Sistersue 12 Posted September 30, 2011 You should see your gyno, they can switch you to the shot and that usually stops it. If it gets really bad and they want to do something surgically see if they can do what is called an oblation. It stops your period but leaves everything else intact so you don't get thrown into menopause. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katyana 1 Posted September 30, 2011 Ugh, I am so with you. I was banded on 9/1. My regular cycle had literally just ended 2 days before surgery (which was relieving). I started up again on 9/6, and it was **really** heavy for a week, and spotted for another week. Finally that stopped, and then yesterday, started again. Arrrrrrrgggggggghhhh!! I talked to my doctor, and he said that is all normal (hormones are stored in fat, and as fat breaks down, they are released back into your system and mess your cycle up), and that things will normalize in a couple months.
