When did your period come back?



Recommended Posts

I didn't have a period for 3 months and before it was all out of wack and was like a 1 or 2 day period. I started my period on april 22nd, and I have been bleeding heavily and constantly since then even today. I dunno if its normal or if its cause my uterous got all that built up from no period. I havent had surgery yet but I weigh 416 pounds. What do you guys think?

I would say that is not normal you need to call . Even when i would go for 4 months w/ out a period yes they would be very heavy but they would not last longer than a week or so . that's too long. I would call your doc asap !

My periods were non-existent before losing weight. by the time I was down a hundred pounds they were coming very lightly every 3-4 months. That is why when I found out I was pregnant in March I was completely shocked. I really thought I was still infertile. I had no idea how far along I could even be cause I hadn't even had a period in a while. What can I say, my body has always liked to do its own thing!

Hey ladies! Yet another fellow "cyster"! As some of you know I was banded February 6th 2008! All and all my period was normal for mainly my whole life than when I was about 17 it started to come and go as it pleased but it would only stay MIA for about a month. Then it would resume. But then .... dun dun dun LOL July 2007 I will never 4get cause I was sure I was pregnant at that time. Went to the gyn cause hadn't seen my period in the pass 3 months! So that's when she did blood work and all and the results came back. High testosrone levels. And then she started asking me about Hair growth and dandruff. And I was like so thats where the damn hair is coming from. The mood swings the depression .... oh the horror LOL. But she sent me to reproductive endocrinologist and he ran all sorts of test ... he claims that I have "pre-pcos" that once I lose weight this will all go away ... but aren't those the basis of the disorder anyway ... but who knows he's the doc ... he says that after I lost about 30 pounds to come back and he will do more test and then we will see what happens. Well I have now lost the weight and then some so I go back to see him 2morrow to see whats up. I will keep you guys posted! But to answer the ? LOL I had a period late Nov early Dec and I hadn't seen it in like the past 4-5 months ... I bleed for 3 weeks on the nose! Gyn said it was ok cause my lining had built up so high and that he had to shed. I was losing my freaking mind ... for all you bible thumpers I was thinking I was going to be like the lady in the bible that bled for years and years and years LOL I was so scared called my Nanna and cried and everything. But anyway it stopped. And I didnt see it again until after surgery. I was banded February ... Got 1st period in March, April, and I just finished May period on Friday eventhough it ran kinda late. Got me kinda nervous. But they seem to be back to norm averaging 4-5 days tops just like usually. But I am still not ovulating at all. And I wont feel complete like a "normal" woman until I am ovulating. I am going to start birth control next cycle. I am doing the nuva ring and my doc said thats the best one for us ladies attempting to lose weight cause other birth controls can do just the opposite with all the hormones can increase your appetite. I am going to wait the reccommend YR for pregnancy and then some considering that hubby is off to Iraq in Jan for 15 months. We are hoping to start trying upon his arrival! Thanks for reading and LOTS OF LOVE AND BLESSINGS APPLES!

Well ladies had my Dr's appt yesterday and he said everything is great he said my levels were never EXT HIG like alot of PCOS people so he said that why he was classifying me as "pre-pcos" that I still had time to get it under control before it became full blown. He says that he is sure that I am ovulating now but he is sending me for blood work to be certain so I will let u guys know definetely if I am ovulating! He was so proud of me weight loss and I am too. HE seen me in December when I was a freaking house ... try double wide trailer even LOL! But its moving!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
