female only Period talk.

[MrsFlipFlops 2]

Well, this IS period talk, so I feel comfortable in asking. I have PCOS and I haven't had a period in about 18 months. On Sunday though I had a big throbbing pain on my left side and very very light and very dark (not even red, more like brown) discharge. I figured it was preemptive to getting my period, so I was psyched, but today, it completely stopped. Normally when I have a period it's really heavy and doesn't randomly stop. Any thoughts or advice? I figured I would wait it out a little bit and if the pain continued or something perhaps I'd go see a doctor. I guess I'm not too worried, just unexcited that I'm not getting my period back. :biggrin:

That happened to me a few days before this period. Then 2 days after that I started.

Hopefully you'll get a period. :thumbup:

Reading this thread helped...I had surgery on 1/7/10 and started the pill again on 2/8/10 after my doctor said it was okay. I've never had cramping in my life, had occasional heavy flows, but never anything that was a big deal. Had 3-5 days of some bleeding, controlled with a tampon...

...now UGH! WHAT THE HELL! I actually had to take a day off work because of the unbearable cramping this week, and my period is still going strong. Yes, I'm on the pill at the moment, but I think my body is mad at me for having been off of it pre- and post-op. I'm bleeding heavily, still cramping 6 days later...can it stop now, please?? Body, please realize that I take my BCP every night so that you won't be here.

Only bonus is that I take Seasonique, so I'm hoping I won't have to deal with this for another two months! Damn weight loss. (Okay, YAY for weight loss, but damn this being a side effect!)

I've noticed in the past 2 months before my period, I am nauseous, have some serious bowel episodes and have a lot of pain on the left side of my abdomen. Anyone else having similar issues since being banded?

My periods have been crazy since being banded. It hasn’t even been 2 months and I’ve had 3 very heavy periods…this last on I’ve been on for almost 2 weeks!!!! And the last two occurred when I was taking active birth control pills. The cramps I had this weekend were the worst ever. Hurt more than when I was in labor! I’ve sent a message for my PCP but haven’t heard back yet on what/if there is anything I can do.
