Women, maybe TMI, "period problems?"

MissyC · 01-23-2006, 03:14 PM

:o I saw here some women talking about changes in their periods. I have been taking the meds. for 2 months. I did not really notice anything until this month when it really did not come at all. I mean light spotting for one day. Very odd. I can not be pregnant. I have 5 kids now, and my husband had a Vac. sooo anyway , I know different things can cause problems...It just seems strange to have something come up. I mean I had a full exam last year. Never had any problems with my health at all.

Just wondering if, or I guess how many women have actually noticed a change. If next month is not normal I will go for a check up.

Sometimes weightloss or weight gain alone can make you T.O.M. differ. How much have you lost?

So far 25 pounds in 2 months. I don't know if that could be it? Just very odd because I never have had a real problem. It does sort of move around. I mean it may be a week later or earilier. But this is a first to just not really come at all. :???:

25 lbs. is a lot of weight loss :eek: . Congrads!!!!!!!!!! You must be so proud :-D .
I feel sure that is what is going on. Your body has to get adjusted. If you are not having any other problems, I would see what happens next month. If I still did not have one, I would call my doctor just to make sure. But in the mean time, enjoy your success and don't stress over it. Stress is another thing that can cause your T.O.M. to go crazy on you. :smt083

Yes I know all about stress :-) I guess I won't worry just yet. Changing how I eat just hit my body fast I guess. I was holding to the weight for so long it was ready to leave a bit

With 5 kids I bet you do know a thing or two about stress. LOL I have 2 boys 17 and 12! And my hair is graying as we speak!!!LOL!

You take care.

I have the same problem. I am on the pill so my period is forced but it is still lighter when on Phen. When not on Phen but dieting, it goes crazy then, too. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. Call your doctor if you can't stop worrying about it, he/she will set your mind at ease.

Yep , think I will just sorta let it go until next month.... I mean jeesh I sure hope it is not "change of life" at 38 :eek:

My kids are runners ,LOL from 5 yr. to 15..one boy who is the oldest and 4 girls I guess stress is everyday but they are great
