Weird Cycles?



Recommended Posts

I'm on depo and have been for years. I haven't had a period in years. I got my last shot in mid May. I had a very light period that started 2 weeks post op (just what I needed on top of my pain issues) and lasted 5 days. I was shocked!!

My tubes have been tied for five years and this week I have taken two pregnancy tests! Where the hell is my period? I had a normal on last month. This month nothing! I'm not saying I miss it... Lord knows I'm fine not having one. But a little heads up from the doc would be nice! I'm assuming it has to do with the lack of eating and rapid weightloss.

Day 2 in the hospital' date=' my unscheduled period started and lasted for over 2 weeks. It was extremely heavy and seemed as if there was no end. Now, almost 1 month later, I feel like it is about to come back. I am on the pill, but I heard it was not as effective after gastric bypass.[/quote']

That's too long for a period.

Glad to see this thread! I was wondering about my weird cycles too! Before surgery I got my cycle about 3-4 times a year which was part of my infertility problem. I had two daughters using infertility drugs. Since surgery (12 weeks out), I have had 2 periods but feeling symptoms constantly. I have not been on birth control for 20 years because my husband and I both had infertility issues but now I am wondering if I should go on something? Really do not want to get pregnant within the 2 years and definitely not after that. I'm done with kids at 42!

If I were you, I would look into it. If you don't want to do the hormonal route, think about the coper IUD. So many people have become pregnant because all they needed was that weightloss. Not to mention if lack of estrogen was a factor, burning fat will fix that. It's a really good idea to look into it.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
