Period Hell!

[Melaina]

Hey piernes, women (not addressing anything but simply weight to height) generally start losing their periods when they get a BF below a 15BMI, don't go doing anything like that!! Good luck at the doctor, let us know it turns out

Nah i can't really drop my BF that low as I would struggle to with my sport. 15% is really the bottom limit I could ever realistically be and that would only be for a peak.
I saw a gyno yesterday - no fybroids etc and because the pill is not right for me he is fitting me with a hormone iud tomorrow. Fingers crossed it will work and stop all this madness....???

Thanks for your help everyone!

yea that no period thing is scary when you first start dating then she's late by a month... but then again she was 5' <100lbs.

also, my current girlfriend is a wreck a week before her periods... she's so emotionally unstable i have to ask when she's due and it's always a couple days prior. then when she gets it she's extremely horny and back to her old self. she used to take anxiety medicine for it but we've been talking about her getting on the pill so i don't have jr's running around after my mid-deployment vacation... isn't there one that is supposed to let you only have the period 4 times a year? and is that the one that levels out mood too?

then again i had another girlfriend who started taking the pill and then became an emotional wreck all the time and had to get off it. man you girls are fickle creatures.

It is so hard that everyone gets different or no sides from the pill, but problems with periods can also ruin or control your life.

I just talked to my x wife she said her body was not producing enough progesterone to tell the body to stop bleeding so they prescribed her progestin and now all is good.

 

[Piernes]

Thanks. The IUD I'm having fitted apparently releases progestin (although I did try progesterone cream for the last few day but I don't think I used enough). Fingers crossed it will be the answer and stop all this anemia nonsense

My x said they gave her a shot of progestin right there at the dr once they figured it out.

That would have been less painful!
