even though I have only lost 9lbs, I think my hormonal troubles are working their self out. I have PCOS and don't normally see TOM but losing weight really helps knock things into place where they should be, so I think so far losing even those 9lbs my body is trying to get hormonally situated and I may be even close to seeing TOM again!! LOL! I know thats not a biggie to some of you but if you ever have had hormone troubles or something like PCOS, having a normal TOM where it comes on its on is a HUGE accomplishment! I think I am heading in the right direction!!!

YAY ME!!

Know you are! YAY you!

I totally know where you are coming from Laurie... Keep going!!

All right Laurie!!!!! This way of life is benefitting you in more ways than one!!!

Way to go Laurie! That's great.

I can't relate to wanting TOM to come -- I take my birth control pills every month and skip the placebo row to make mine not come except once every 4 months.

Of course, after having had it every single day for 18 months, I don't care if I ever see it again!

It's funny how different physical problems make us react in different ways to the same thing.

Hockey,
I dislike the 5-6 days. The thought of every single day for 18 mths would make a person want to just crawl in a corner and fade away.

Hey Laurie,

Obviously, your body likes this way of eating. Keep up the great work!

Good Going!!! Healthy eating is what our bodies need!!!

I had the same problem. I was have it every month for the past 17 years but in september of 0. I had broke my ankle and had surgery the dayof surgery i was on my period . The Next day after surgery my period was gone i thought maybe because of have of the surgery and been stress it will come back on but it did't for 4 months . Then I went to the doctor and she was the one who told me to lose weight and get on birth control . This is my first month on the pills.

Yeah- weight loss is a huge factor, too. I have hormone issues and I could tell everything was messed up with a 10 pound gain. Of course, another ten had to go on before I was motivated... I still like the idea of not getting it at all much better. The longest I had was 1.5 years after I had abdominal surgery. I feel like I've met my lifetime quota!
