Off topic weight periods

Off the subject a bit but just had a dr appt and feel proper down now.

Been having heavy periods do have had blood tests etc and been given tablets.

One of the things he mentioned as a cause is hormones eyv then said weight could be something I look at!

Now like most women I am never happy with my weight, and could do with losing a bit.

However I am size 10 apart from the odd thing I get in a 12 cos of boobs. I just feel ctap now as surely if it was my “weight” most women would have bled to death by now?! To be fair that is one of tje things he mentioned not focused on the weight thing, but it’s given me a right downer. Anyone else had a similar thing happen?

Hiya linzi, weight problems can also be linked in with PCOS as can heavy and painful, irregular periods. I know if you have PCOS they say to watch your weight as it can make the other symptoms worse (I have PCOS) did he mention anything like that to you?

I dont think he meant you are fat but weight unfortunately is a factor when it comes to your periods. So possibly just warning you to stay as you are/ not gain weight in order to try and resolve ur period problem. Jeez at a size 10 u are not fat girl!!!! Xx

Yeah he’s looking into it after blood tests he’s looking at anaemia, thyroid ,cysts etc. although I have no other symptoms of any of those just got heavy periods the last year. But I have stopped contraception and I know that makes ur periods lighter taking those. Just had a shit two weeks finding out I have pip then this then told to look

At my weight! Just being over sensitive I hope.

Thanks tho chick xx
