Sorry its such a broad title! Its a long story. For years my period has been hit and miss. I remember aged about 20 going 10 weeks between, and i wasn't overweight then. I conceived my first child naturally, but struggled to conceive again, so further investigations were done. By this time i was aged early 30's, and about 14st, I am 5'7''. I was diagnosed with PCOS and was told i would also have an early menopause. Eventually i conceived using clomid.
My periods were getting less frequent by the time i had recovered from having my second child, but i decided to be sterilised as i didnt want any more kids. This was about 4 years ago. Periods declined further, weight ever increasing.
I am now at the point where i havent had a period for 2 and a half years. I have my hormones checked regularly, my GP says they are OK(??).I dont have any menopause symptoms except the absent periods. I am 38 years old. I weighed nearly 19st at the beginning of this year. I embarked on CD in June, and now weigh under 15st.
My question is this; Is there anyone else who was obese and didnt have periods? Then lost weight? Did the periods return? If so, what was roughly your BMI? I know its a long shot, we are all different after all. It's just that i have been told that my periods may return soon, so i was wondering when, if at all! And it would just be nice to hear that i am not alone! Feels a bit weird posting something so personal on here...
