Endometriosis, weight loss and bleeding

[Ftumch]

I have recently been told that I probably have endo (have not had laparoscopy yet, but all other causes have been ruled out).
I want to lose some weight but last time I lost any weight I bled for 3 months! I'm wondering if this may have been related to endo, as oestrogen is stored in fat cells could losing fat have caused endo symptoms to worsen?

Just bumping in the hope someone can advise.

Do you normally have a regular cycle?

Thanks for replying. Semi regular, varies from 3 to 6 weeks at times. The cycle previous to that episode I had bled for 3 weeks. I was on the pill (had been for about a year) at the time. I came off afterwards as docs said that they couldn't find anything wrong after bloods and ultrasound, so try coming off the pill. I did and I haven't had a really long bleed since, I also haven't tried to lose weight in that time.

If you have (undiagnosed) PCOS you can find your cycle goes a bit more regular when you lose weight. This might mean an initial increase in bleeding (possibly from a follicular cyst which is common in PCOS).

Maybe look at losing weight slowly and taking some supplements to help regulate your hormones: inositol or spiruline maybe, or inofolic is quite good.

Thanks, I think said she ruled out pcos though. I'll look into those supplements, whatever's going on my hormones are definitely going wild
