I think my body forgot how

To have a period that is. This is going on the 16th month periodless (I don't count post-partum bleeding as a period).

I have ALL my normal AF symptoms. Except for the bleeding part. It's really frustrating me. If I'm going to have CRAMPS, I might as well BLEED and get it all cleaned out!!

ARGH

Have you asked your Dr about it?

My friend had her tubes tied with her last baby and that was four years ago this March, she has yet to get her period back. She has all the symptoms too, but we wonder what all they did to her. She was supposed to go back to the Dr and see what was wrong but she hasnt gone yet.

Well, it's not as bad as it sounds. lol. 9 of those months I was pregnant, and 6 1/2 of them I was nursing. It's really common for a nursing woman not to get a period.

It's only been a month since I started formula, and even then it took me a week and a half to go completely off the breast. So I'm not going to be really worried until, oh, February. If I don't get a period by February then I'm definitely calling the Dr.

Which reminds me, I need to call my insurance and tell them they have the wrong address so when they sent me my new insurance card (back in September) it never came to me.

I agree in going to see the doc if you don't get your period next month!!!

Have you thought about going on BCP to help bring on your periods?

BCP make me feel pregnant. That means nauseated and headachy all the time.

Hey...that might help me lose weight...

((TELL ME NO!))

I thought BCP made people gain weight or harder to lose? Of course it never made me nauseated though

The reason it makes people gain is because it uses a very small amount of hcg to keep you from ovulating. So...you get a larger appetite because your body thinks it's pregnant.

When I get pregnant, I throw up. lol.
