Monthly Issue

  • I dont know if this is the right place or if this has been discussed before. Ive been on my weight loss journey a little over 2 monthes. I got my last period about 36 days ago. It was irregular and lasted only 2 days. Now for the last 2 weeks I have had symptoms of TOM, yah know, bloating, tenderness, slight cramping, but havent got anything else. Has anyone else gone through this???? Much appreciated.
  • When I change up my fat balance from a ton to not a lot, it messes up my period. It may be due to the fat reduction but if you are concerned, I'd go to a doctor.
  • um... are you pregnant?
  • Thats what me and my husband discussed last night, pregnancy. Im going to buy a test today just to get it off my mind. I was thinking maybe coz of weight loss but im not extreme dieting. Im doing it the healthy way. I eat 5-7 times a day depending on the day. So I dont think im shocking my body. I dont know I guess I will find out. Thanks.
  • My period was all over the place when I first started out. Sometimes every 20 days, sometimes missed months and sometimes every 30-40 days, and ALWAYS very heavy. Now, however, I am more regular than I have been in years and a nice "normal" flo. Now that personal hygiene is SO much easier, I actually laugh at the "happy period" commercials, when before I'd yell at the TV...lol

    lol yeah i wasnt trying to be so up front with it, but it may be a possibility - this i know. In the past week, i've had 2 people i know realise they're months pregnant and not known. one was even having periods for a short while.

    It just sounded like symptoms, and a short period might have been spotting, which can happen during pregnancy.

    Keep us posted aye!
  • Let us know what happens when you pee on the stick.

    My periods have been pretty eratic over the past 10 months that I've been losing. I'll have a normal couple months then a cycle like you mentioned...actually it's been going on for the past 2 weeks here...cramps, sore boobs (the worst for me), bloating....no period. No chance I'm preggo here!
  • Yeah im not pregnant, I started flow earlier today. But I kind of didnt think I was. I guess the change in eating habits is changing the way my body is. Which is kind of irritating. Does anyone elses symptoms bloating etc make you feel like not excerising? I know thats my biggest problem. my drive goes away.
  • i havent had this irregular issue; but perhaps cos im on the pill
  • Yep....there are times when I don't feel like exercising and just want to curl up on the couch...but I don't. I get myself to the gym and have a kick butt workout no matter what! It's really the best medicine. I always feel better afterwards. Speaking of...I'm heading out the door now....
