Losing and (hopefully) finding my period

Dec 02, 2012

Whenever I get above a certain weight I stop getting my period. And so, I haven't had my period in nearly a year. The last time this happened, I lost 25 lbs (my most ever) and my gynocologist gave me some pill that jump started my period since I had every symptom I normally got when I would get my period (irritability, cramps, hot flashes, being extra hungry) except for the actual period. It worked and I kept it until I went up to my highest (at the time) weight. So since February I haven't had my period. 

Well GB told me earlier this week "Baby, I love you. But you are being extra grouchy and mean." And I remarked to him that I felt like I normally did right before I got my period. My stomach was crampy, and even though since the surgery I have been cold all the time, I had been getting hot flashes, and worst of all, even though I am almost a month out from RNY, I had been stuck on the same weight for a week. 

(this next bit is probably TMI, so don't say you weren't warned)

I went to the bathroom today and what do I see???? Something pretty dang reminiscent of my period!!!!!!!!! I am so excited! Now, will it do anything more than just spot a little and disappear in a few hours? Or will it stay for a week? I have no clue. But for now I couldn't be happier to see that it is actually trying to make its reappearance. 

The other cool thing? I had to do a little begging and cajoling but I finally won out and GB brought me the scale from his super secret hiding spot. I have finally broken through the stubborn weight stay I have been at for the past week. I am down 4 lbs. I am thrilled!!!!!!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
