I tend to think it's because each of our bodies is a glorious and intricate machine. It is hard-wired to stay constant it its output, depending on your normal cycles.
After a few months, your TOM would regulate to a standard, were it safe to stay on phentermine that long. Does that sound reasonable to you? What are your thoughts on that theory?

I think you are right Susan, like the sleep thing, the first day on phen, I was possessed and euphoric!!! I was quite happy at the thought of being on phen

Then the flu hit because of lack of sleep and I felt

Then I lost so much weight and I felt

so it is all a matter of adjustment I guess. My body gets out of whack if I forget one vitamin pill so I guess phen is going to have some wild effects on me!
Seriously though I have never had TOM like this since I was a teenager! Now it's finally here, it's like it's never going to stop!!

OMG! 18 days!!!! My husband would have to move out! LOL I'm bad enough while I'm on mine for a few days. He's like WATCH OUT! Run for cover before she blows!!! LOL He knows when it's coming too. I don't even have to say a word. Then he walks around me like he's walking on egg shells. LOL I wish I wasn't like that.....But the tinyest thing will set me off when it's that time for me. And that's phen or NO -phen!!!

Oh I hate having to tell you this Miss Martini, but it looks like TOM is moving on... day 6 today and fading very fast indeed!
He had just BETTER take a pound with him though!

When i started phen my dr. told me to make sure that i use birth control bc the does mess up your menstral cycle and throw things outta wack and does something to your ovalation cycle. He said alot of women get preg on phen.... which could explain how i got preg w/ my youngest when i was on the patch and started taking phen. I was on phen for a month then.. bam i was preg. So this time were using condom and bc pills since you tend to be pretty fertile after having a baby.

Wow, isn't that interesting lesszmore? Sounds like your doctor knows their stuff! Good for others to know too!

Well... that is if you don't want any more children!

Sorry to hear about your cycle. I use to have a strong menstruation with horrific cramps. I have found that drinking a glass of water with one tablespoon cider vinegar and one tablespoon honey really helps. You must drink this daily, not just while on cycle. Doesn't taste good but it shortened my cycle to three days from seven. First day is a heavy flow, the next two are very light. Also, it's rare for me to have any cramps, if I do they're very mild. Just look up this mixture on google to find that many others have found relief drinking this. Hope this helps.
