Strange feeling?

[musiclover 61]

Hi I'm 14 weeks out today and loving my sleeve although I'm a slow loser down 40lbs but very happy as there is NO way I could have lost like this before.

My issue is that for the past few days since I dropped a bit more weight I've been getting the same kind of pains you get when you have a period. Back ache and that dragging feeling on your stomach? The thing is I'm 47 and have had the Mirena coil in for 3 cycles now so I don't get periods. What is going on? Any suggestions? Thanks

I, too, have the Mirena. I had no periods for 6 years or so because of it till VSG. I spent my first two months post op on my period and it sucked. Any rapid weight loss can trigger a period, iud or not.

You are still cycling, cramps may be harder than normal and you might bleed. Be prepared.

Is it constant? Or come and go? Do you have your gallbladder? Have you ever had issues with your gall bladder? Your description makes me think gallbladder pain.

Even with the Mirena you have symptoms of your period.

It's not constant and today I didn't experience it at all so maybe it was just a blip? It really did feel like my old period symptoms though.. I used to suffer so badly with periods due to PCOS which is why I had to have the Mirena fitted after a constant period for about 5 months and once I have the Mirena fitted no more period and that was over 10 yrs ago. It will be very surprising to have them return I kinda hope not especially now when I was gearing up for the menopause!

I really hope its note gallbladder though.
