Menstrual Cycle

Jayla · 05-01-2008, 12:44 PM

Have any other ladies here had their menstrual cycle start acting strange once they were on Phentermine? My cycle has been relatively longer by about two weeks since I've started. Is this a side-effect I just hadn't heard of yet?

I have never heard of this but anything is possible, each of us are all a little different remember. I would check with your OBGYN to be on the safe side, you might have something else causing this issue and two weeks is too long.

I'm not sure if you are asking if irregular periods can cause problems or what causes periods to be irregular. The following website should answer your question. It addresses both situations.

That does not sound normal to me. If you have Medical Insurance I would make an appointment to see your Dr. I know a lot of things can alter your cycle, but you could have something else going on.

Menstruation is a very complicated process involving many different hormones, the woman's sex organs and the brain.
A woman's internal sex organs consist of two ovaries, the Fallopian tubes, the uterus (womb) and the vagina. The ovaries contain the eggs with which the woman is born and, during each period, a single egg will usually ripen and mature due to the action of hormones circulating in the bloodstream.
When the egg is mature it bursts from the ovary and drifts through the Fallopian tube down into the uterus. The lining of the uterus - the endometrium - has been thickened by the action of hormones and made ready to receive the fertilised egg.
If the egg is fertilized and the woman becomes pregnant, it will fasten itself onto the endometrium. If the egg is not fertilized, however, resultant hormonal changes cause the endometrium to slip away and menstruation begins.
Menstrual discharge is composed of the endometrium itself, together with a little fresh blood caused by the breaking of very fine blood vessels within the endometrium as it detaches itself from the inside of the uterus.
The amount of blood lost due to the normal monthly period is usually less than 80ml.
