Missed period 4 months out...



Recommended Posts

Obviously I realize that most of you are NOT medical professionals... I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing... Following my surgery which was on 4/25 I had an "extra" period in may and then my period came right on time around the first of every month.. Now here we are in September... I'm down about 40is lbs and my period is no where in sight. I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative. I have since scheduled an appointment with my obgyn and I have a follow up appointment with my surgeon in a few weeks. Anyone else experience missed period after being regular?

Hmmmm.... So- you're 2 weeks late-ish. A pregnancy test should show if you are (although with my daughter it didn't). I'm curious to know what your doctor says :)

I think it's normal. You're body is going through a lot.

I'm a few days late right now and i know i'm not pregnant. I'm barely a month out but any type of stress to the body can disrupt it.

I took the pregnancy test at about 8 days late. My gyn called in a script for a blood test today. I had some mild cramping around the time of my period which is usual and then it just never came. Since my surgery my period hasn't been shy about showing up! Lol it's been there FULL FORCE it's just weird to me that I have no spotting no nothing. Did you get pregnant with your daughter after surgery? My husband would be THRILLED if I was pregnant... I would def have some mixed emotions being so soon out after surgery. All these body changes are just so weird sometimes.

No! She was an oops pre-surgery! Although I did have a blighted ovum in July-9 months post op. we are planning to start trying in December for another :)

Have you missed any periods? I know I have read a lot about the periods getting worse which mine have but I just thought it was weird after 3 months of normal and my weight loss some what balanced out to miss one now. I'm the least stressed I have been in months... Like I said I did go for blood work and should have some real answers soon just didn't know if anyone else was experiencing something similar

Hi there! I am only a month out, but already having issues like you. Last week was supposed to be TOM, got my usual breakout, cramping, etc., but no period. Immaculate conception #2 would have to be in play if I were prego, so I'm thinking this might just be a side effect? Hope everything goes well with your blood test! Keep us posted!

First 2 months post op, i got my cycles twice in the same month, was weird & heavy for next 2 months, then missed my cycle 2 months straight & then it return back to normal at 7 mons post op. GYN & VSG doc both said it was normal with the extreme weight loss & hormonal changes.

I have been like a clock! You could run a train schedule by my period! It's ridiculous. I didn't have one for almost a year before surgery, but other than my miscarriage in July it has been on time and a pretty rough go.

I've had other stressful situations makes me completely miss mine for a month. It's happened twice and my gyno wasn't worried.

I'm only 30ish days out of surgery. I had my period while getting the surgery...so fun.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
