If you are eating very little and rapidly losing weight, you can often lose your periods b/c of that alone. I agree with the previous poster. Stop the Phentermine and see what happens.
Well today, I think my period is starting. I have some spotting and cramps. I am sure it will be a rough one! I did stop the phentermine over the weekend and started back yesterday(Monday). Maybe thats what triggered it....who knows. Being a woman shouldnt be this much stress and hard work! :P
I got my period beginning of june I started the phentermine middle of june i missed my period in july and aug. I took 3 home preg test they were all negative and i made a dr appt i got blood taken and they did the preg test it came up negative. i went for an ultra sound aug 22 and more blood work i havent got the results back from that yet but i still havent gotten it yet i also skipped 3-4 days of the pill my dr said the pills shouldnt be causing the missed periods. Its not a known symtom. Have you had any other problems?
I also am on phentermine, but I have been on it for a while. Lost 40 lbs. last year and am now teetering back and forth. I had no problems with the phentermine at all. BUT, for the last few months I have been experiencing alot of lower left side pain. In July I only spotted for 3-4 days and haven't had my period since. I went for an MRI and the Dr. said they THINK it's Adenomyosis or something of that sort. I think he's full of bologna cause I looked up the syptoms and I have never had a bad period or pain like I'm having now. I honestly think the phentermine is a coincindence and not causing it. He said I can also be going through my change, BTW I'm 43. I also talked to the pharmacist and they said it does not cause missed periods. Hope this helped.
i started phentermine in the beginning of may 2010 and got my period towards the end of the month. In June, I did not get it and took a pregnancy test in the middle of July. It came on July 16th for a few days, and I have not had it since. I am not sure if this is from the medications, or for something more serious :(
I have been on phentermine for four months now. I have only spotted slightly for about one day on the weeks that I was supposed to have my period. Then, this week I started getting really weird blood clots. I just started taking vitamins also. I do believe the phentermine has something to do with it because I have always had normal periods and am on the pill. I think maybe you, or we are not getting properly nourished on this medication which messes us all up!
I started taking phentermine March 1st and continued taking it thru approx April 13th. My month's prescription lasts me longer because I usually take 1/2 pill in the morning and the other half at around 1p and sometimes i'll sleep in or forget to take the second dose ect...I was suppose to start my period on the 24th and here it is the 27th and still no period...I have taken 2 pregnancy test since my missed period and both have been negative..I have NO symptoms of anything..pregnancy or premenstrual cramps, So pretty much I'm attributing my ammenorrhea to the pills. I really dont think mine is due to lack of nutrition. I lost 18 lbs while on the pill for the month and a half, was trying to stick to a 1500 calorie diet but honestly didnt all the time..and my exercise routine is anything but strenuous.....Phentermine works by affecting the central nervous system aka the brain and spinal cord. Hormone levels are also controlled by the brain and they determine if you have a period or not..so...Yeah. I'm blaming it on the pill...
I started Phentermine also, been on it a week, was only going to take it three weeks to get ready fo my vacay. First two days lost 6 pounds with vaginal disharge, clear but at times a tiny bit of brown tinge like it looks if my menstral was ending. I was concerned I stopped the phentermine for two days, lost like 3 pounds as well, prob. Because I slept th two days due to lack of sleep the two days on the phen. Now I'm over all symptoms a week into this thing except two nights ago after intercourse I bled. Like my menstral was beg. Its not due for 8 more days. Well have had no bleeding snce. Should I be worried? I don't want to mess up my cycle for my vacay. Cycle is suppose to come on the 8th goes off arond the 12th vacay on the 14, 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 on the beach:-( plz help.
I have been taking the phen and the a b shot for 3 weeks 2 days after taking it i started my peroid and i have been bleeding ever since i am also on birth control have been for 7 years.so i dont think im preg..do u think.its the shot or the phen im worried
hi amy i am having that issue right now as well i started these pills last month and i missed my period for this month i usually start the 1st week of every month but still nothing i've taken 3 pregnancy tests and their all negative as well. I havent told my doctor yet though but i am really soon!
I started taking Phentermine in May 2016. Worked well for the first 3 months, I lost 30 lbs. No problems with my period at all. I have been on Microgestin fe 1/20 for years now. Then I hit a plateau and didn't lose any weight for 4 months. I finally decided to take a month off the pill to give my body a rest, well went I started taking Phentermine again just last month, my cycle was ending. A week later, my cycle returns and its extremely heavy, terrible cramps, and huge clots. I went back to my weight loss doctor and she says to wait a month and if it doesn't regulate itself, i need to see my gynecologist. Well i can't wait a month, i've had a history of anemia and i can tell that i am anemic right now. Depending on what my doctor says this week, I may stop taking it altogether.
I just began phentermine not even a week ago right around the time I should have gotten a period and I missed my period for August. This is clearly an unknown side effect of the prescription.
