Okay ladies I have a question for you. I have started my monthly once again. This will make two times this month the first time I was on it for two weeks. My question is why is my monthly coming only a week apart and have any of yall had this problem? The last time I talked to my doctor about something similar he said it was because I was losing so much weight. I am also having terrible headaches with the menstrual. Please help.

    I had a problem like this and my obgyn said it was a hormonal inbalance. She put me on Birthcontrol pills. And gave me a sonogram (or whatever it's called) Turns out it was my hormons and a cyst on one of my ovaries... Then went back 6 weeks after starting the bith control and the cyst was gone, the period was regular again, and the headaches were almost gone. I hope this helps. But it had nothing to do with weight for me.

    Mine have never been normal. But I am thinking that I need to speak to my doctor again. I am doubled over in pain.

    hormone inbalance numero uno. last year i lost 15 lbs in 2 months, didn't get my period for 3 months (im usually super regular) and feared being pregnant every day of those 3 months. i talked to the dr, got put be back on the pill which i quit again after getting my period 2 months after that. Now, a year ish later, I have heavier periods than ever before but am not feeling CRAZY like the birth control made me feel. and I gained weight, regardless of why but it is harder to shake the pounds now than ever before. I again blame hormones and the yo yoing with those damn pills!

    If you don't get a better answer this time, get a second opinion. What you are experiencing is not terribly uncommon, but there are treatments available. You should not just suffer with it.
