NOT menopause! Will TOM return?

Hello. Apparently I did not go through menopause these last four years I've had without my period. It was explained to me that my obesity prevented the periods.

Question: Now that I'm in for some major weight loss, will my periods begin again? OB/GYN explained it to me, but in Doc speak and, I forgot.

Tell me it ain't so! (half-hearted lol)

  • My periods have never stopped, but were very mild and light. After surgery and 40 lbs, my periods were horrible. I should have about 10 more years before menopause. I can't wait. I hope for your sake

Oh God I hope not! Mine stopped about a year ago. I would not like to have them back. I was very regular before I stopped though. If you were irregular before and depending on your age, you might be in for a revisit. I'll be praying for you! ????????

I am surprised when your periods stopped that your physician did not run blood tests to check your hormones. After I had not had mine for a year, my doctor ran the tests and told me yes I was in menopause!

If you are not in menopause, then yes, your period could come back.

Mine have come back and are pretty regular. I feel good after getting it and always lose a few pounds too. Hang in there :)
