Where's my period?



Recommended Posts

Ok girls, I need your opinions.

My period hasn't come around in months. SInce July 05, I have had only one period, that was in September. I am not pregnant. What do you think it could be?

Just some info to help me figure this out:

I'm still very young (23)

I have given birth before, my son is 7 years old.

I am pretty heavy, but I have regular excercise and eat good. Not too little, not too much.

I am not banded.

I am not going through additional stress.

Life is pretty normal, except for not having a period.

I'm starting to miss having it.

Girls, please help me! Any advice will be great!

I had the same problems until I lost weight. It is really amazing what weight will do to your body. Call you gyn and I am sure he or she will tell you if you lost a little weight it would help. Then again it may not. I could really go 9 - 12 months with out one and then when I would get one it would be 2 -3 days. Being on the pill is only thing that helped me and now lossing some weight has helped.

Good Luck and call the doctor....

Maggie, I hope by now your cycle has came. I was very regular since I am on the pill and have been for 12 years. Since surgery 9/05 I have missed and have had weird cyles. I had 2 cycles in 9. 1 a week before surgery and then another the day after surgery which lasted a week. I did not have a cycle in November.

Get thee to a doctor!!! It could be weight gain or weight loss or could be any number of scary things. Don't mess with it. GO SEE A DOCTOR!!!!

I agree with the other ladies, please go see your doctor. I also had very irregular cycles after banding. I guess it was just the effects of quick weight loss.. Good luck to you

I have a period about once every two years. My doc says it's because of my weight. Like everyone else said, I'd advise going to the doctor. I'll just bet it's related to being heavy.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
