1st cycle ever,(var) menstrual cycle issues
ad
I've been working out pretty intensely for about a year now. Over this past year my period had been crazy. It usually always starts when it's supposed to.. problem is, it doesn't GO AWAY! I've had dark discharge for about 2 weeks now with the occasional red blood here and there. I started a var cycle a week ago. Taking 5mg in the morning and 5 before I workout. I've had break through bleeding frequently over the year, especially when I ran more frequently. All of the research I've done basically explains the opposite of my problem. My youngest of 4 is going to be 2 in July. If I go to my OBGYN will anything come up in my tests showing I'm on something? This is the longest I've had lingering menstruation issues...ugh!

It isn't uncommon for menstrual irregularities to occur with taking aas... You have to remember you are adding something extra to the mix and your body is going to try to take it self back to homeostasis and bring everything into balance. This means your other hormones can and will get a bit out of whack. the other issue is that these things don't all happen the same way for everyone so you can use other's experiences but you have to go by what YOUR body is telling you. Side effects and reactions are general guidelines not absolutes and only address generalities of what MOST women experience. If it doesn't stop go to the doctor .. at least get some labs done something else may be going on
Thank you! I love hearing from you experienced gals ;-)
Dont be afraid of the doctor !! They work for you ! The doctors are just going to tell you to stop taking the Var. You and only you know your body. If you have to go to the doctor than so be it. Keep your self safe than jump back on the Var. good luck !
You are right...I just hate doctors! I haven't been at all since I had baby #4 :-\ it's over due. I just always talk myself out if it. I'm just a little nervous about these sorts of problems now that I'm using AAS. Thank YOU. how do you+1? I'm new and I'm not too familiar with all of this. Have been trying to read as much as I can but with 4 crumb snatchers, it's kinda hard lol.
