No period, but negative pregnancy test! What's wrong with me??

Hi everyone,

I'm a little worried something major is happening to me. I've missed my period and this has never happened to me before. I took 4 pregnancy test, in which all 4 came out negative (in which I knew that because I use 2 forms of birth controls) and I'm not having a period. I'm only 35 yrs old and I just can't imagine me having menopause already. Should I call my PCP or has this happened to any one else? Please help!!

 

The way it was explained to me was that when we are extremely overweight,  we have a lot of hormones (especially estrogen)  are stored in our fat cells.  When we rapidly lose weight,  we are flushing out the hormones that cause our periods.  When  we stabilized our weight,  your system will correct itself.

You can expect your periods to be irregular, perhaps heavier/lighter than normal, and othewise SURPRISING for the first AT LEAST 6 MONTHS POSTOP and perhaps longer. That is why they recommend we double up on BC methods during that time. As long as your pregnancy tests are negative I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you go longer than that, perhaps a discussion with the doctor would be warranted.

Good luck.

I'd call Nurse Boone darlin..she can always tell you where to go from there!

I started at the same weight as you and after surgery missed three periods! When it finally came it was not much of anything. I was waiting for it so I can start taking Seasonique b/c. Some women get heavy peiods afterwards, we are the lucky ones. Don't worry.

I think I spoke too soon. I woke up this morning with a little visitor (my aunt Flo) I was kind of happy to see her...lol.
