Went through the gastrograffin enema last week. Extremely painful. They put a big tube filled with dye up your rectum. I screamed and cried like a baby the whole time. Test results came back good. Reversal of my ileostomy is set in 2 weeks for may 18th. Can't wait to get rid of this nasty bag for good.

this morning I woke up cramping and pain in the pelvic region at work. went to the restroom and discovered I was bleeding, got my period. been on Lupron Depot since Oct and haven't had a period since. skipped my March injection because of Doctors orders. because March 16th was my surgery date. had my April injection on the 21st. called gyno today and he said it was because I skipped my March injection. but why would it wait all the way for May 5th for me to start bleeding? ileostomy reversal is set for May 18th so they told me to go get my injection this week. so going get lupron depot again next Wednesday May 11th. and hopefully May 18th this stupid crap bag that I been have hanging from my stomach for the last 8 months will be finally gone for good!

If you had a bit of a break from the hormones, I'd suspect the delay in your period is that it takes a bit for your uterine lining to build up enough for it to shed. I'm not explaining that well.... Sorry!

Tiger, I have been keeping up with your story and I agree with the other ladies about how much of an inspiration you are. I'm glad things seem to be turning around and I wish you many many bakini days this summer.

It probably just took a while for your body to have a period, like Karen said, since you've had a break from hormones for a while, sometimes it takes a while to get them going again. I hope it's not too bad of a period. I can't wait to hear you report that you've had it reversed and it's gone! I'm so happy for you. You'll be so proud of yourself for pushing through this and coming out on top. That's just amazing and I truly believe you will be a stronger person after this is all over.
