Before I had surgery ( 3 months ago )

My period was super irregular and when I did get it, it was light but I had blood clots. I still have big BC. Now it's REALLY heavy, and I woke up this morning and there was blood everywhere. I've never experienced this. And I'm sick, so when I sneeze and cough it comes out even more. I am very terrified, and I don't want to leave my house... I am in college and I am super embarrassed. Now that I am losing weight, I've noticed it becoming frequent and heavier. What do you recommend? Any advice?

Rapid weight loss wreaks havoc on your hormones. Hormones are stored in fat and as the fat breaks down, those hormones are released back into your blood. So it is common to experience irregular and heavier periods as well as increased fertility. I think you should call your surgeon and your OB/GYN. It may be that you need to get on some form of birth control that will lessen the severity of your periods or eliminate them altogether.

I spent years suffering with periods that are similar to what you are describing and my GYN had me on Progesterone therapy to assist. Do not wait to call them, they will tell you the signs to look for to be sure that you are not hemorrhaging.

I second, the Always Infinity overnights.

Always Infinity Overnights are awesome. Wear darker pants. Take a pad with you everywhere. And maybe carry a jacket you can sit on.

I've had heavy periods my whole life, even with my bc. I know the struggle.

Have you had a pap smear since surgery? You may want to have your hormone levels checked. I know they go whacky after WLS.
