my wow moment

this is going to be odd.. but guess what i got today- the first EVER in my life- without medication to make it happen- MY PERIOD.. this is the smallest i've been in my adult life- 181 pounds- from 275 (263 morning of surgery).. and tomorrow is my 4th month anniversary... and today my period started- all on it's own!!! first ever- i mean it- EVER... pcos- move out of the way!! ever seen a woman so excited to have a period!! NOPE!! jennifer

Congratulations! You are right, I have never seen someone that happy to have a period. As a foil to your accomplishment, I went to the OB/GYN for the 5 th time in 3 weeks. Evidently the weight loss has made my hormones run amok and I have to go back on birth control to stop the damn thing. Of course, the pill is out (might not get absorbed) and I am still too heavy for the patch.... UGH. Here comes Norvo ring. TMI, I know.

the day after surgery- i got a bleed- it was probably from the trama- and blood thinners- anyway it lasted 5 weeks- never went in.. and hadn't had anything since... like i said- i've never had a period on my own- my first one was when i was 19 and the dr put me on the pill to start the period. i'm really happy- yeah, periods are not the best thing in the world- but now- i'm getting excited about what now this might mean for me jennifer

Jenn That is wonderful ( I think). ANywhoo I know what that might mean in the future- so BE CAREFUL! Keep a good calander and see if you can track your Ovulation as well..... Prayers for you!! Pattiann

i wouldn't even know where to begin with tracking ovulation- cause i never ovulated even with infertility treatments- always had provera when the cycles failed... still not getting my hopes up for the possibilities- if i don't think it will happen- my heart will be protected. we're going to start the process once our son is potty trained for a little girl (adoption process).. jennifer

Jennifer that is AWESOME! Yeah for you! WOO HOOO>>> What a coups for you! For me , I am bleeding so stinkin' heavily every time my period starts that I am blowing through pads and tampons at an alarminly bizarre rate. I suppose it is the hormones being released from the burning off fat. It really sucks that I can't take ibuprofen though *sniff*. The Tylenol is a joke for cramps *pulls a face*. Oh well...it only lasts one day for me *the cramping* so I will grin and bear it and dream of wearing size 12s *that is my goal, if I surpass it kewl, but if i make it to that I will have MADE IT in my mind* one day *G*.
