My period won't stop TMI

  • Hey everyone.
    This may be tmi but I need some advice.
    I started my weight loss journey on April 22. I got my period on May 5th and I still have it now.
    It was like a normal period for me for a week and now it's just enough to annoy me. I just wear a thin pad but barely any blood goes on it, just when I wipe.
    I've lost 15 pounds so far if that helps at all.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks everyone.
  • This is the internet, call your doctor.
    They can run tests on your hormones and blood tests and offer you real medical advice. Good luck!
  • To the person who sent me a message saying that I had cancer, thanks a lot. Not! You have no idea how badly you hurt me and how scared I was. I was beyond scared I was even beyond terrified. I hope you NEVER say that to anyone else ever again. Thanks for causing me to have an anxiety attack, it means a lot.
    And by the way, having my "period" for this long is NORMAL because I'm losing so much weight my hormones are messed up.
  • It could be so many things (switching/starting birth control, something with your ovaries and/or uterus like cysts or endometriosis, etc.) Not to scare you but if you can, I'd see a doctor just to be sure you don't have any issues or anything like that.

    Something like that happened to me twice in my whole life. The first time, I bled for about 3 weeks and apparently miscarried. The second time, I was on the depo provera shot which totally screws up periods, nothing for a few months then I bleed for up to a month or so sorta pattern. Ugh, never again!
