Periods?
| Tue, 08-17-2004 - 5:56pm |
I'm really not sure if this has anything to do with my "ED" or not, but I began birth control pills about 5 months ago. At first everything was pretty normal, but not I havent really had a period in about 3 months (I think). So, what I was wondering is could it be possible its because of my eating habits? I havent lost any weight though, I acually think I gained some, but my eating habits have been kinda strange(i.e. one day ill eat normal, then next day about half as much, and the next day double that)it's all messed up. I know I should talk to my doc. about this but i was just waiting it out a little.

hemmy is right, you should have regular periods while you are on the pill. However, I do believe having an ED may be able to affect that. Even if you are eating ok right now, if you are too thin and don't have enough body fat, your body may not be able to have periods despite the pill. Definitely go see your doc and be as honest as you can possibly be.
Let us know what he/she says.

Some birth control pills can cause some women's periods to stop completely. Happened to a friend of mine, who doesn't have ED. Otherwise I agree with everyone else, and either way you should let your gyn know. That bc may not be right for you.
