Short Menstrual Cycle

I went off my birth-control pills a couple of months ago, and my cycle is all out of whack. Maybe it's too soon to say for sure, but the last two periods I've had have been 17 days apart. This seems a little extreme! I had irregular periods before I went on the BCP but it was never this strange.

Anyone else have this problem? A Yahoo search seems to indicate it could be caused by a thyroid problem - I should probably get checked out for that.

I've been on the pill for a long time. It can take anywhere up to a year for your cycles to adjust after going off (or on) hormonal birth control. This could be competely normal, or it could be a sign of something more serious. I would definitely discuss it with your Gyno.

I was having my P every two weeks... went to the OB/GYN... did tests, etc. I ended up with a hysterectomy (am older than you I am sure). I am sure you don't want that... but it would be best to see your Dr. and see what is wrong. Hopefully your body just needs time to adjust to the lack of BCP. Let us know how you are doing... :)

I know what you mean! I was on Birth Control and took it for about 3 months. Now that I have been off for about 4 months my last two P were really lite and only lasted a few days. Its really weird!

I had a similar experience. When I went off the pill I got my period each month, but it would only last 2-3 days. It's normally 7 days. I've been off the pill for 7 months now and the last 2 months were more regular. Maybe it will just take a little time for your body to readjust.

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
