Due to my weight pre op I had not been getting my special monthly visitor. Well this morning, surprise! It's back, and it's back with attitude.

While I'm happy to be back to "normal" in that department, I did enjoy not having to deal with this monthly nuisance.

If you don't want to have your period monthly, there are many birth control options that can make I less frequent or eliminate it altogether. I've been on Seasonale for over 10 years. With it I only get my period once every three months and they are very light.

I am not the OP. But oh how I wish I was a candidate for something like that. Regretfully I get blood clots from BC pills. I got them when I was only 19, was only about 15 pounds over weight and was never a smoker. I just can't take the chance with my history.

OP- I have read that since the body stores all kinds of hormones in your fat cells that you can wind up with heavier periods during your rapid weight loss phases. I have read of people that were newly menopausal when they had WLS surgery getting Aunt Flo back for a bit.

I don't mind having it, I feel "normal" when it comes but it is a pain

Aunt Flo has been gone about a year and she is NOT welcome to come back!

Mines has been doing a periodic disappearing acts for 3 yrs now. This go round, haven't seen it since February. But no complaints.

"Aunt Flo" may not be showing up as much lately, but I have had some dozzy PMS spells. Hoping that it's about over. I've been done with it since age 22...!
