Missing Periods?

[JonelleL106 0]

I have been to the GYN about missing my period (Not Pregnant) and breakthrough bleeding with my birth control. They prescribed me Provera to bring on my period. They say its from losing weight. . Has anyone had experience with this?? :tt1:

Oh I hope that will be a side effect for me!!! I took Provera years ago and I liked it but the first time I took it I passed out within a few minutes. It made me very sleepy everytime I took it for the first three days each cycle.

Ha at first its scary! But when I found out it wasn't from pregnancy everything was good. Lol

You think pregnancy would be scary for you I am 48 that would be SCARY for me! Have you tried the Seasonale pills where you only have a period every three months? I have been on those for a couple of years and like them

I'm actually on that pill. I have been for over 3 years now. I love it. But i had a lot of break through bleeding this past cycle. Which wasn't so fun.

Weightloss has had the opposite effect on me. At 51 I had a period after 11 months and 2 weeks...I was very angry!

Had 2 really bad ones, then nothing for the past 2 months.

My GYN said fat cells store hormones...when we lose fat cells the hormones have no where to hide.

She put me on a form of progestrone and my weight loss as stopped as well. I'm going back in to see her next month.

I was banded June 17th and I haven't had a period since. My weight loss is slowing down now. I was always a little irregular though so I'm not worried by it (although I am due to go to the gyn) And I know I'm not pregnant. I'll enjoy it while I can!!! (or before the Dr does something about it!!)
