    "Girly" Question...

    Sorry to post this here in main....I looked on the main board and I couldn't find the Women's board anywhere, to try to get in and post there. (I put Female in my sig and everything...)

    Anywho. I have now been on my TOM for almost a month now! Now, I haven't had most of my usual things like cramps and headaches...just a Lot of moodiness and emotional things. I dropped a few pounds after the first week and since then - coming up on three weeks now - I haven't lost anything. I've been eating really well, no cheating...no frankenfoods or anything and I've been exercising and doing a lot of cardio...and drinking 90+ ounces of water a day. Still, the scale isn't moving, the clothes I've been using to see if they fit different, aren't changing and I've even gained a couple inches on the tape measure. It's discouraging me a bit and I'm not really sure if there's anything else I could be doing that I'm not...
    So I'm just wondering...firstly, should I be worried or anything about my TOM dragging on soooo long? And do you think the fact that it has, has anything to do with me just stopping losing right now or anything?
    Thanks!
    Jen

    Question for you would be is this normal if not then I would seek out the help of a GYN..

    My sister has weird cycles her periods normally last 10-14 days so..that would be normal for her and of no concern.

    I guess the point is, that no one knows your cycle or body better than you. Use your own judgement.

      Thanks. I wasn't too worried at first, because I do have longer TOM's....I guess I just wanted to know if anyone else had experienced their's dragging out, or changing once they started eating this way...

        Hi Jen,

        PM Bren and she should be able to get you into the women's forum. There are threads in there about TOM. Welcome to the board. Good luck on your weigtloss journey.

          Cramps are really bad on induction but I hear that primrose will help with that. I really don't have an extended cycle.

          There are alot of posts on the women's forum..you will get alot of info from there. just PM (private message) bren and make sure you have female or F in your signature.

            I too am having a hard time figuring out how to access the women's forum. I added "female" to my signature as well. If you find out how, let me know too!

                            Superdork, a month is a bit long in my book, even for those with extended durations. Remember that ovulation is approx. every 28 days. A few days later you start over with TOM, which should end before the next ovulation. I'd say at the very least, check with "ask a nurse" or similar free call medical service, get on the web - check Web MD and the like, or see a doctor. It could be you have fibroids or other Uterine trouble, and you don't want to ignore either!

                              Go see you gyn as soon as you can get an appointment. This may have nothing to do with Atkins and there could be something else going on. I don't want to scare you and I'm sorry if I am, but that was happening to me about 5 years ago and I had LOTS of stuff going on in there and ended up with a hysterectomy because I let it go too long. Good luck to you.
