Question:
What is up with me???

Help?! I used to not even have a menstrual cycle when I was obese. I have lost 150 lbs in 6 months and Now I am constantly on my period. The last one I had Started on March 17th and ended on 23rd. Today, I started again. With all the symptoms, breast tenderness, achy abdomen ect... Anyone else have these issues?? Should I be Concerned??    — August S. (posted on April 2, 2002)

August, I would think your situation is caused by the release of hormones. But anytime you have excessive or unusual bleeding, a call to you gynecologist is a good idea. Good luck and congrats on your wonderful success thus far.

I would make an immediate appointment to see your Gynecologist. Since my surgery 10 months ago, my cycle has been very irratic. I was clockwork and now I haven't had one for 2 months.

With the rapid loss of fat comes the rapid secretion of unusable estrogen. Call the gyn. I had irregular periods but since surgery have had one every 28 days like clockwork! Good luck and God Bless!

Check with your Doctor soon. You may have a iron deficiency.
