Ladies! Did your cycle change?



Recommended Posts

I have the mirena since last year, and I hadn't been getting periods for several months. I was sleeved on a Monday and that Saturday my cycle started and lasted for over 2 weeks. Then it stopped for like 2 days and when I went to get my annual done it started back up. I pretty much wear liners or ultra thin pads everyday

I'm 42 and am so done with these darn periods! I'm thinking about having an ablasion since I"m at my "out of pocket" max for the year with the sleeve anyway. My sister had an ablasion last year because of heavy periods, and hasn't had a period since.

Changed for the worst... Longer and very painful. I am hoping it's the hormones bring released by weight loss as well as hormones from aunt flow and it will setyle down eventually. That is the hope anyway :-)

This might be tmi ..I was sleeved 2/28 and my first period was light. I started 2nd yesterday and seemed fine until hour ago...soaked 3 pairs of pj 's with overnight pads. I have passed about 10 golf ball size clots ..it is awful...the bathroom seriously looked like a murder screen. No cramping..no chance of pregnancy....my only other thought is I had cyst on ovary and had follow Monday and now have 2 more. Two now have solid masses so seeing specialist Wed. I don't know if that has anything to do with it. My man is freaking out that I am losing too much blood lol..men!..any thoughts?

I'm normally 28 days just started my first post-op at 40 days. Hopefully this is just a reaction to the surgery and I go back to normal v after this.

Have an IUD and haven't had a period in 2yrs..then after the sleeve they have returned. Went to the gyno..and she believes its just all the changes going on in my body. Had an ultrasound just to see if the IUD was still in place..its all good

I hope your ok. You need to get that checked out. I don't think you should be soaking through so many pads in a short period of time. Be careful about so much blood loss I think that can contribute to low Iron levels.

      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.
