So I would say I am a pretty regular gal. I am on the BC pill and always start the thursday after my last active pill.

I started Phen I week ago and today started spotting which is almost 2 weeks early for my cycle. I still have one whole week of active pills left to take. I NEVER miss a pill for fear of getting pregnant.

Has anyone else experienced irregular cycles when starting phen or having any good explanation why? Possibly such a huge change in diet?

yes phen messes with your cycle... so its normal

[sergeantsgirlfriend]

I take continuous pills to keep me from having a cycle as recommended by my doctor. With that said, I normally don't have a cycle but about 5 or 6 days after starting the Phen I started having one. I wasn't sure if it was the medicine or not, guess so.

I've only been on Phen 2 weeks and I got mine early too. I've been on bc for a while now and have been over the initial spotting when you first start a new brand for some time now. This week, with another week of pills to go, I got mine. Crazy. Do you think it effects the strength of the pill so we have break-through bleeding or does the bc still work properly? I'm aware that with some medications, the bc isn't as strong so a back-up method is required...is that the case here??? I'm not wanting another little one anytime soon! LOL.

I *thought* I might have been in menapause as I had not had a period in about about 3 months when I started taking the Phen. But within about 2-3 weeks of the medication, I had a period. I don't know if the 2 are related, but I'm suspicious. (I keep telling my doctor I'm going to be the only resident in the nursing home that they are going to have change my diaper AND my sanitary pad at the same time!!)

Yep, It messes it ALL up. I use to start on the 17th clock work. When I started Phen the first month my cycle came on the 19th, the second month the 23rd and now the 25th. It also use to last 7 days now it only lasts 3-4 days. I'm not complaining about the part though. Don't worry it's normal

[JustKim]

Yeah, I used to get mine on the 3rd of every month, but it's slowly been moving up to like every 23-25 days instead of every 28. It also used to last 6-7 days, but now it only lasts 3-4 days, not that I'm complaining or anything.

I"m so glad to know this. I haven't had my period in about 2 months, I'm not pregnant or on birth control. I was thinking about stop taking phentermine. But I will stay on it for one more month to see if my period will "kick in".

[wanna lose]

Have any of you ever had anything else weird with your period since starting on phen? Now, I have PMS all month long. I feel great during the 3 days of my period. (It used to last 7 days, but now it is just 3 days.) I have cramps ALL month now. I have also only been losing weight during my TOM. I lose all my weight for the month then, up to 8-10 lbs. The day my period stops so does my weight loss for the month. Is this normal? This is the first time in my life that I look forward to my period.
