Its a case of it gets worse before it gets better. The first few periods I had were heavier and more painful and then magically it all went away and I had perfectly normal periods regularly with zero pain.

When you start to lose fat it releases estrogen that has been stored in the fat. It's a bit a of a hormone storm for the first few weeks. Keep at it.
