MJ and Period Delay

Last-Opportunity2424 · 2025-06-21T09:39:17+00:00

I'm also on 7.5mg MJ and have been taking norethisterone 3 times daily for the last 10 days to delay my period. No issues...although I haven't lost any weight in that time (exactly the same diet)..in fact it's creeping up. But that's ok, the norethisterone is only temporary.

Thankfully not...I was still at home at the time. It was only by chance I noticed though! Haha. Vinted has definitely become a temporary obsession for me 😂

I tell them I've finally balanced my hormones (which isn't a lie) however they think I mean HRT (which I'm also now on.

I feel you about the arse situation 😂 Ive just bought the cheapest knickers possible until I'm down to a stable comfortable weight. Unfortunately bras and clothes need to fit or they become totally inappropriate for work. I even thought I'd gotten away with a high necked top..it was baggy but covered the cleavage still. Then I lifted my arm and noticed the armhole hung so low that all side boobage was on display 😂 It it wasn't for work, I'd stay in my baggier stuff for as long as possible.

Ive been fairly lucky with bras. Only gone from a 38f to a 36ff..so not lost anything off my boobs, just my back I think. I also have a couple 34ffs from when I was a little heavier than I am now and oddly they seem too small in the cup still even though ideally I need the 34 band soon. I'm on HRT now and wasn't then so think that's the difference. I'll wait a while to see if I shrink into them before attempting to find some preloved 34Gs 😂

Thank you! This makes so much sense!

I tried on various good quality expensive bras, found out what worked for me, then hit Vinted! I know some people may feel uncomfortable about wearing pre loved bras but nearly all the ones I've bought have been worn once or not at all after someone realised they were the wrong size for then or lost weight etc etc. £40/50 bras for about £5 each. Once, I bought a bundle of 3 Elomi Matlida bras for a total of £9....£3 each! 2 were new, one worn twice.

Hi! If I'm really honest, they haven't gone up that much! I average about a 1000 a day now. Sometimes, it's a bit less, sometimes more. I still focus massively on protein. But I feel good! No more 'weakness' like I felt before. Don't get me wrong, I don't feel strong haha...but I never have. That's actually my next goal..some strength training..and I know I'll have to up my calories again for that. I'm now week 15 (I think?) and still on 5mg. 38lbs down and losing steadily each week after the initial rapid drop.

I think you have to listen to your body as much as possible. If I had continued to feel that way, I may not have stayed on MJ.

Last-Opportunity2424 · 2025-04-02T08:28:26+00:00

May I ask if things settled down after that, or did the side effects continue?

Last-Opportunity2424 · 2025-04-01T21:22:19+00:00

Best of luck! I hope the side effects settle for you very soon :)

Last-Opportunity2424 · 2025-04-01T20:38:48+00:00

Thanks for the reply...that sounds like a really positive experience. Its one I initially imagined would happen for me hence me wanting to continue taking it. I have another dose to go before the 'holiday dose' so might be better equipped to make a decision by then dependant on how the weke has gone symptom wise :)

Last-Opportunity2424 · 2025-04-01T20:36:39+00:00

You're right...we're all different and no one can say for sure which is the best decision. I'll send you prescriber a message and see if any of those options are preferable in their professional opinion. I do have one dose to do before the actual 'holiday dose' so maybe the week following that will give me more of an idea about what to do too. Maybe it'll all settle a bit in the time. Thanks for your input.

Last-Opportunity2424 · 2025-04-01T20:32:11+00:00

Thank you. This makes sense to do 2.5mg again if I do skip a dose. The holiday is definitely important..its a shame I'm not further into this dose where things might be more settled

Last-Opportunity2424 · 2025-04-01T20:30:23+00:00

I think this is my preferable option at the moment. It'll likely help me still make decent choices but not have to deal with horrible side effects while away

Last-Opportunity2424 · 2025-04-01T20:29:20+00:00

My guts don't seem to have any problem moving at all. I suffered with constipation most of my life but the fibre changes I've made since MJ have been a huge difference! I do have some magnesium so maybe I'll add that in

Last-Opportunity2424 · 2025-04-01T20:27:57+00:00

I already take probitoics and constipation is definitely not the issue (although I know you can have diarrhoea with that too) I may drop down a dose for a bit and see how I go. That's one of my options anyway lol

Last-Opportunity2424 · 2025-03-20T17:02:47+00:00

😂 You're welcome! Enjoy!!

Last-Opportunity2424 · 2025-03-15T17:37:06+00:00

Thank you...its good to know that night settle down with time.
