36, tubes tied, getting period, gaining weight
My tubes have been tied for 7 years, i already have five kids, i am still getting my period although it is every 3 weeks instead of 4 as it was... I also have a cyst upon my ovary that acts up for a week every month before my period begins, I have never gained weight before so rapidly, unless i was pregnant, i have gained 12 pounds in the past 2 months, is it my age? My body changing? Or is it possible i could be pregnant? I am gaining the weight in my ab. area only, as if i am pergnat? It looks like i am 5 months pregnant.. is this possible? Or could it be something else wrong?
I'm not trying to be mean, but maybe you are gaining weight in other places and u just can't see it. I felt like my stomach was getting bigger too but I think it was all in my head. I had my tubes tied 5 years ago. Ur periods start acting up the older we get(not that ur old, still very young) so as long as you still have periods I wouldn't be concerned. Were ur tubes cut and burn? Do you want to be PG? I have 3 kids and would love to have one more but no chance. I made a decision to tie the tubes at an early age b/c I thought I didn't want anymore. ANyway, if u are concerned, call a doc or take a test. But if ur not late, then I think u have nothig to worry about. Hope I've helped!
no, your not being mean at all, i appreciate your comment, thank you, i needed feed back on it, I have 5 kids, it concerned me, because 2 of the times i was PG i had my period the entire time... im sure it is just in my head, No , i do not wish to be PG, but if it happens, i guess it is meant to be.. I just have them tied...Are yours cut? And besides i dont feel old yet LOL.... i guess my body os just changing fast, have to get back in the gym i guess, after i get my doctor to take a look...again, thank you
Gaining 12 pounds in 2 months is pretty extreme. I would at least take a home pregnancy test and see a doc.
I'm having nearly the exact same symptoms. I'm 27, had tubes tied after my third child 3 years ago. Since April/May I have had two periods each month...up until August. I'm almost 3-4 weeks without a period. And in the past week I've gained about 5 lbs.... granted, much of it could very well be water-weight. I told my husband this morning that I wanted to take a hpt...but will wait to see what nature brings me...I should have my cycle in the next week or two. I also have an appt with an endocrinologist on the 14th regarding my problems with my menstrual cycles, among other symptoms that I have been experiencing. I'm also experiencing the same, Blackwolf...I LOOK pg. I'm fairly thin/normal weight...and I'm not seeing any weight gain in any other area than my abdomen.

have you found out anything yet? To answer your question, I had mine cut and burned. He told me I would likely never get pregnant. I decided to get a tubal b/c I had all three of my children so close together. Right now they're 8, 7, and 5. I can't recall having any problems after having the surgery other than the weight gain. I swear I have gained at least 30 pounds since. And it too looks like it's only in my belly. My clothes are getting tight and I'm tired all the time..........I am now 1 week late(I think) but took a test...negative. I still haven't started but I think maybe worrying is prolonging my period. It was weird though b/c I had a period aug. 4-8 and started bledding(passing clots) on aug. 17-22. So did I have 2 periods in one month? Is that possible? .......Blackwolf..When you find out something please let us know. God bless.
i'm 31 years of age i had my tubestied 5 years ago and my peroid stay on like 3days after it comes on.i've gain 20 pounds in a month so what should i do.should i be scared.i want another child but can't get pregnancy.
I am 30 and I got my tubes cut and burned 2 years ago and I did not have a period until jan of this year it was reg. Then I didnt have another one til march and it lasted for two weeks then now I started on may 19 and I havent stoped yet and I was just wondering if it was cuz my tubes were cut and burned. Im just getting worried cuz I have never had this problem before
I had my tubes tied 7yrs ago and I am only gaining weight very quick in all the places I did when I was pg. I have been having my period also. Did anyone find out anything about their weight gain? I am not over eating and I have never gained weight unless I was pg
