Up until this point everything has been pretty great.

Then last week (two weeks and one day post op) I had to put my dog to sleep. Then I had to drive 4 hours to see my surgeon for my post op two week visit and 4 hours back home. By Sunday my stress level was through the roof and bam got hit with a nasty migraine which included lots and lots of vomiting. The next day I had a follow up migraine and more vomiting. On top of all of this I'm on my third period in three weeks, this one seems to be bound and determine to leave me completely bloodless.

So I'm very very shaky, dizzy and some what sick to my stomach. Trying to get in fluids and some Protein. When it rains it pours?

I'm sorry youngs not feeling well. But it will get better. I know that's hard to hear. I had several bad days. But it's better now. Sorry about your dog. And we're here for you.

Hi, I'm so sorry to hear about everything you're going through. Losing a dog's really upsetting.

Have you thought about going on some form of contraceptive to control your periods? On the pill you can tri-cycle (ie run 3 packets back to back) and you won't get a period until the end of the 3rd packet (so after 63 days at least if not longer). Your period should also be shorter and lighter.

If you're not up to taking the pill then you could try the contraceptive injection. You have it once every 12 weeks and I'm not getting periods at all since I've been on it (only 4 months so far).

Up until this point everything has been pretty great.

Oh hun, it sounds just horrible ((HUGS)) I get massive migraines and take prescriptions for them, including Phenergen (sp?) to stop the nausea. I imagine the dizziness is from dehydration from all that vomiting L Not good. I have heard that the surgery will wreck havoc on a cycle; causing multiple or more severe cycles – thusly, increasing your chance for a migraine. I hope you feel better soon and try to get some liquids in to help with the dizziness.

Thanks so much for the support. I don't know where I'd be with out this site!

Really tough couple of days there for you! So sorry to hear it. You are doing the right thing with the fluids, definitely work on getting in as much as you can. Protein will help too if you can get (and keep) any down. I'm sending all good wishes your way.

I'm so sorry about your dog, I know how sad that is. I'm sure the worst is behind you now and you will start feeling better and having good days.

Oh, you poor thing! My heart just breaks for you. Putting down your dog (your baby) is one of the hardest things to go through. And with the surgery and now migranes? Well, I can't even imagine!! I hope this passes very quickly for you. So sorry about your baby.

Hey PCOS_Chick-

What a suck week! One way to view it, is that your due for a few good weeks.

I also suffer from PCOS and the massive weight-loss has wreaked havoc on my cycle. I had actually gotten to a point where with the right birth control I was running like clockwork. Since surgery that all went to hell in a handbasket. I read on here that a lot of estrogen is stored in fat and that gets released as we drop the pounds. This could be what's giving you grief in that area.

As a dog lover who had to put down her 17 year old dog on January 10th, I really feel your pain there as well. Again, sucks. No nice word for it.

*Hugs*

I hope you feel better soon! Sorry for the rough week. HUGS!!!

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear it. That's a lot of emotional and physical stress all at once! I hope you can take some time to take care of yourself! Sending you lots of hugs!

poor puppy, poor you. You might get anemic with all the cycles, like others, consider BC for a while.

I am feeling for you. I lost my lab of 12 years due to cancer. It was so hard. I couldn't imagine going through that plus everything else. I hope tomorrow brings a better day. Big ((( HUGS))) to you.

Oh, wow, I am so sorry. I know everything will get better, just try to get through it. You can do this!
