Anyone seen my PERIOD?

[BrickGirl]

Okay, here is the deal, I am dieting down right, and I will end up getting very lean for me, probably about 6%, well, talking to family, they say that if I start missing my period that is the most unhealthy thing in the world and they can't believe I would possibly put myself through something so unhealthy (as they eat there fried chicken). Do I have a rebuttal for them?

well, I miss my period for like 3 months at a time right now because of the AS I am on, and it doesnt seem to cause any problems, But I can't tell them that

Tell them the fried chicken they are eating will cause high cholesterol..diabetes....and so on....If they are not active they will lose at least 1% of muscle every year as they get older..develop osteoporosis.....there are many concerns w/ any unhealthy lifestlye that I would be more worried about than your period...to even argue is like banging your head against a wall..ive tried and it gets me no where..after christmas dinner i put sweats on cause my aunts were making comments about my shoulders and the veins in my forearms!! Now if I was fat....there wouldn't be a problem..but they aren't used to seeing that nor do they understand..so I just do my own thing and ignore the comments!

if i remember correctly W6 had said something about missing ur period not being a big deal... maybe he'll pop in and help us out again.

im not too comfortable missing mine either.... i HATE it when i get it but when i dont get it i dont feel "complete" or something... i lose it with the SLIGHTEST bit of AS use... im talking...5mg ox and GONE! nooo period! o well.....

just tell them that u still get ur period..they dont seem to understand much about BB so if u just yes em to death they wont know..... lie lie lie BG...it always works!...

funny

Agree with Spat.

Besides, how do they know if you're having your period or not? Do they ask for proof?

If so,

Eat a lot of high fiber foods so you have cramps, slap on an estrogen patch for a few hours so you're mean and yell to them from the bathroom that you clogged their toilet with a tampon and you need a plunger. They'll stop asking.

There are numerous "studies" (sorry I can't cite them, but I've read this in many different mainstream publications) that say missing your period for a few months at a time every so often is NOT harmful. That's provided of course it's not due to something like anorexia and malnutrition, which could result in bone loss and other problems.

I've even read some studies saying that constant monthly menstruation for a long time without any interuption (such as pregnancy) is dangerous and can predispose a woman to certain types of cancers (e.g. breast) which are related to high estrogen.

You're from Missouri?

 

[BrickGirl]

[gotmilk]

No, I am not from missouri

Well, the old "just because Mom's brother's cousin's sister-in-law twice removed got sick after losing her period" excuse can't be used.

I don't really think it's a big deal unless like FF mentioned it has to do with anorexia or malnutrition.

Besides, when you're on birth control pills many times you don't get a period, so what's the big deal? My doc used to say why go through that mess if you don't have to?

 

[FyreWomanGoddess]

I haven't had my period for six months now and I don't miss it. I'm on depo and it my periods stop.

 

[FyreWomanGoddess]

Has anyone seen mine too?
