Weird times at the gyno--am I the only one?

Arche4life,
I'd imagine it's your weight, which may make it more common in CFers, since many CFers have trouble gaining weight. When I dipped down to 98 pounds, I had at least 3 times that I skipped a period (and actually thought I was preggo). Now that I've had a baby, my weight is remaining steady at 135. Three years ago I was at the 98. What a pendulum.

As for the mucous, I have never had any OBGYN freak out about how abnormal it is. I have been to at least two different ones plus I have had a few paps at my GP's office. I guess they all just know that it's normal for me!


As for the not having a period at all...first, I didn't start mine until I was 17...almost 18. They were very irregular but I could always count on having one at least every other month. In the summer of 2005, I had gone 2 months without it and thought that it was kind of odd but not abnormal for me. I was going to go get checked out at the doc but decided to take a pregnancy test beforehand so that could be ruled out and I didn't have to take a pregnancy test there and pay an outrageous amount for it to be negative. To my sruprise, I was pregnant! LOL Anyway, although I was irregular, I always at least had some form of period at least 6 times a year.

Now post transplant...I get it pretty regularly and it's really heavy. I hate it!!

I'd say 15 dr's have seen my cervical mucus and I've never had anyone freak out about how abnormal it is. They have told me the cervical mucus is thicker but consistant with cm of cf patients. I'd go somewhere else that has more experience. Seems ridiculous to me for him/her to freak out.

I know this is a little off topic, but it's OBGYN related, does anyone else not get their period at all??? It has been about 2 1/2 years since I've had a period and while most women would be stoked to not have to deal with PMS it really upsets me. I know alot of it has to do with my weight, right now I'm about 100 pounds, but even still, I think I should be having one. Is this a CF related thing???</end quote></div>

Your body needs enough body fat to sustain pregnancy.

If you don't reach that limit, your body won't let you have your cycle, including ovulation and subsequent period.
