For Ladies only!!!

Hey ladies my body is really going haywire my cycle has always been regular you could actually set your clock by it....I have been using an IUD for the last 5 and a half years....well this month I had my cycle as usual and then a week later I started spotting and having cramps again...now yall no the first thing that popped into my head was I can not be pregnant...I done came to far to be getting pregnant...so I took a test and it was negative but the fact that this happened really freaked me out has anyone else experienced anything like this????

I haven't experienced the IUD. If this was a one time thing maybe it's just hormones. Maybe you should call your doc and ask him/her what could be up. Karen

Rikka, I also have an IUD and since WLS my periods have been kinda goofy too. I used to be very very very regular and now I spot for days before it actually starts and it is never on time. I think that it will pass but for now it is a pain in the ever shrinking butt. Tanya -103

I was just going to post with a concern I had. A couple (or maybe 3) months out, I got my very first shot of Depo Provera. I had heard that if you take the shot, you will stop getting a period. I soooo much wanted to stop getting my period after having had it since I was 9. Since getting the shot, I haven't lost weight at all. Has anyone else had any experience with this at all? I'm very frustrated. Since March I have only lost like 10 pounds. I definitely am NOT going back for the 2nd shot (You get them every 3 months). Well, I am exercising more, but like I wrote in another post, I'm not making the best food choices, so combine that with the Depo shot and I guess the 10 pound weight loss in 2 1/2 months is almost to be expected.

I just read your post - I am also on the Depo shot - I went on it a couple of months after WLS - I just went back for my second shot about a week ago - I was pleasantly suprised that I was down another 34 lbs. I was also concerned about not losing - I am sorry to hear that your weight loss stopped - I go back again in August for the 3rd shot and if the weight loss has stopped or I have gained any weight - I will also stop getting the shot!!
