Early Menstruation while on BC



Recommended Posts

I tried looking for topics on this issue but couldnt find any that matched my issue... Anywho... I started my period today but I am only on week 3 of my birth control pills! GRR!! I am almost 1 month out of surgery. Did this happen to any of you ladies? I figured my birth control pill would still be able to regulate my cycle... guess not. Yes, I have not missed any pills and I take it at 6:30AM on the dot everyday without fail. My body hates me I suppose! :'(

I am only 10 days post op, but I have the mirena and typically never have a period. I've not stopped bleeding since day 2. When I questioned about it, they said women store estrogen in our fat and the rapid weightloss is probably what's causing the period.

I agree with previous poster. I too am on the pill and got my period earlier than I should and for a longer time.

I have mirena to, I will be 7 weeks post op Tuesday and have finally stopped bleeding every other day since surgery, Doc said the same thing about fat and estrogen...said it would eventually quit...yay me!

Same with me and that was the same answer I got also. I was also warned that there is a higher chance of getting pregnant. EeeAaaKkk

Thank you amwr6582 for posting this and everyone for their answers. I was just sleeved on 12/18 and got mine a week early and just different. I was about to post a question but decided to do a search first. This made me not worry so much! Does it get back to a more regular pattern after the first month?

My cycles have been wonky ever since surgery. My last cycle lasted two weeks. I am sure it gets better as time goes on :)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
