jasleeve 440 Posted July 22, 2012 im 7months post op. ive been getting my menstral since the age of 8. im now turning 24. about 4yrs ago, i was diagnosed with pcos after not getting my period for over 7months straight. since ive gotten it, ive kept track of it ever since. since surgery, ive been getting my menstral but its never on time. either super late or too early but it does come. has anyone been 100% cured? i dont want to get on birth control. i just wish my body would do it on its own!!! heres my cycle since it disappeared for 7months & came back one day. ***the days later mean i got it on this day & it took that many days for my next one to come. (for example, june 20: 44days later means my menstral came june 20th & it took 44 days to get my next one which is aug 3rd)*** menstral cycle june 20: 44days later aug 3: 57days later sept 29: 35days later nov 1: 33days later nov 29: 27days later dec 26: 31days later jan 26: 77days later april 13: 28days later may 10: 36days later june 15: 32days later july 17: 43days later aug 29: 31days later sept 29: 30days later oct 29: 62days later dec 30: 34days later feb 3: 34 days later mar 9: 87 days later june 4: 26 days later july 2: 172 days later dec 21: 12 days later jan 2: 35 days later feb 6: 24 days later march 1: 52 days later april 21: 30 days later may 21: 35 days later june 25: 24 days later july 19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shape_Shifter 83 Posted July 22, 2012 I dont have your medical issue PCOS but I can empathize with your aggrivation. I bled for 18 months straight with about 10 weeks of non-bleeding scattered inbetween. I hope you get the answers your looking for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelliecalgary 18 Posted July 22, 2012 It looks as though your cycles are getting a lot closer together. I have only had 4 periods in my life that have not been induced by birth control. The longest I have gone is 5 yrs in between periods. I have one child that is six and I only got pregnant with her after losing a LOT of weight, in a really unhealthy way, and was on birth control and had missed about a week of pills. She is my miracle baby. I am hoping that having the sleeve done will help me have another baby and take care of the PCOS. Hope all the ladies here get what they want from the surgery!

Ree's Sleeve 4 Posted July 22, 2012 Wow! I thought mine on PCOS was screwy. In 2004 I had ovarian cyst and uterine polyps removed after basically having three periods a month, I couldn't even imagine 18 months! It took 6 months after my first son to have a period and 13 months after my second to have one. Both of my boys are miracles and we fought every step of the way with the pregnancies and progesterone issues. I am hoping this will help reset mine as well. Still have not had on menstral cramp or signal to let me know this is coming on. So 6 periods and a sleeve later ( I'm 5 days out) her is hoping! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shape_Shifter 83 Posted July 22, 2012 At the time I had no insurance. I had two teenagers and alot of other stressers. I worked from home which was both a saving grace as well as a curse. Couldn't even go to the store somtimes for fear of being out of the house 20 minutes would cause me to go through two tampax and a pad. Finally saved up enough to get an IUD in hopes that it would at least help. (I had my tubes tied after my second so I didn't need this). After 2 months its alot better. very light, very unpredicatable but i can go months without anything. so much better. however, once i've lost weight i want this IUD out of me. if the bleeding starts up again i want a hysterectomy - which what i should ahve had if i had insurance at the time. i have insurance now....the trade off is I work for a lawyer who is an ass. Hoping that by January I have this partial hysterectomy done. i have two children and often which i had more - now that empty nest is hitting. they're both at that age where they swear they don't want children so not holding out hope for grandbabies. maybe alot of pets inmy future? I wish you all luck with your journeys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

candy1980 36 Posted July 23, 2012 I hope when I lose more weight mainly because I have this one stubborn hair on my chin. I already have six children, one husband, and four dogs so I am not wanting or needing to increase my family size I simply want this one hair to vanish and never come back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jasleeve 440 Posted July 23, 2012 unfortunately, once it grows in, it doesnt stop until the root is killed. although pcos mightve caused it, it wont stop growing in cuz pcos is gone.. if that makes sense. i have thick facial hair too. i hate it I hope when I lose more weight mainly because I have this one stubborn hair on my chin.

Shape_Shifter 83 Posted July 23, 2012 off topic but I too have one stubborn chin hair since mid-30s. worse part is I've suddenly developed 1 hair on my bicep. I am constantly looking for it now because it has gotten as long as 3" before I've caught it before lol lucky i don't wear alot of short sleeved outfits but when that changes.....
