No period?!

[merclondon 7]

I have not had my period since my sleeve on the 2/2/16 (six weeks ago) ! It was due at the end of Feb and nothing and still nothing...

Anyone relates to this?

Many thanks

Trauma and the hormones flooding your system (they are stored in fat cells and released into your bloodstream during times of rapid weight loss) can both but your cycle into complete disarray. Early periods, constant periods, and late periods seem to be more normal for the first few months post-op than just having your cycle stay regular.

That said, in your situation, I would be making double and triple sure about my pregnancy status if that was even remotely a possibility.

Definitely not a possibility. That's why I'm concerned!

Thank you for reply

hi.... missing your first period if surgery is possible. I did.... then my next one was a BIG one (and really 3x bigger than I ever thought possible). So the hormones and changes in diet will cause all sorts of issues.

One more note...we are super fertile with hormone changes. So watch when you start back in the bedroom. My ob suggestions extra protection until 1 year - just to be safe.

"No period?!"

At first I thought you meant the punctuation mark, so I was going to tell you to look between the "," and "/" keys on your keyboard.

I can't help you from personal experience due to genetics, but maybe it has something to do with your hormone levels readjusting due to the weight loss?

The release of hormones into your blood stream after WLS can cause all sorts of issues. It's the reason you should also be using backup birth control for the first month or more.

I didn't have a period for 3+ months after getting sleeved. Thought I was going into early-ish menopause (am 45). But my period did come back -- and very heavy!

Thanks guys , at least I now know " it s sort of normal "! ????
