Weird Cycles?



Recommended Posts

I'm on depo and have been for years. I haven't had a period in years. I got my last shot in mid May. I had a very light period that started 2 weeks post op (just what I needed on top of my pain issues) and lasted 5 days. I was shocked!!

My tubes have been tied for five years and this week I have taken two pregnancy tests! Where the hell is my period? I had a normal on last month. This month nothing! I'm not saying I miss it... Lord knows I'm fine not having one. But a little heads up from the doc would be nice! I'm assuming it has to do with the lack of eating and rapid weightloss.

Day 2 in the hospital' date=' my unscheduled period started and lasted for over 2 weeks. It was extremely heavy and seemed as if there was no end. Now, almost 1 month later, I feel like it is about to come back. I am on the pill, but I heard it was not as effective after gastric bypass.[/quote']

That's too long for a period.

Glad to see this thread! I was wondering about my weird cycles too! Before surgery I got my cycle about 3-4 times a year which was part of my infertility problem. I had two daughters using infertility drugs. Since surgery (12 weeks out), I have had 2 periods but feeling symptoms constantly. I have not been on birth control for 20 years because my husband and I both had infertility issues but now I am wondering if I should go on something? Really do not want to get pregnant within the 2 years and definitely not after that. I'm done with kids at 42!

If I were you, I would look into it. If you don't want to do the hormonal route, think about the coper IUD. So many people have become pregnant because all they needed was that weightloss. Not to mention if lack of estrogen was a factor, burning fat will fix that. It's a really good idea to look into it.

I'm on depo and don't get it but after surgery started the blood thinners and have had it since!!! My ob said that will cause it to start.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
