OP here, first off I am not overweight, just gained about ten pounds shortly out of nowhere. Thank you to all of those who did have health concerns I am looking into all that.

Two words. Placebo. Effect.
How is this a placebo effect?
She thought she was taking sperm pills but it turned out they were just tic-tacs.
If anything it's nocebo, but even then I doubt OP got fat because she thought she was pregnant.
Hysterical and sympathetic pregnancies actually do cause weight gain in some people.
I did that post on the wrong one. I have a shitty attention span. I tried to change it but it was 2 late.
OP thought she was taking Weight Watcher pills. Turns out they were upside down MM's.
#53, how was it to the wrong post, when it was the first one made?
Or just buy a punching bag. 2 birds with one stone :p
Agreed.
Running not also improves your mood. It also helps to lose weight, so double win! OP, you should go to the Dr. it is not normal that your period is gone and you are gaining weight, it must be related... (PCOS?) Good luck!
Hormones of a women. That's life for ya.
You'll blame her obesity on hormones?!
yes, her thyroid needs to be checked
...yikes...
Everyone gets moody every once and a while. Just let it pass! :)
I'd still go to the doctors too see whats going on unless you want to be on an "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant" episode
Could very well be an ovarian cyst. Get to an OBGYN asap
I laughed instantly then felt bad.
I'd still go to the doctor. The home tests aren't 100% accurate and if you've missed a few periods, even it you're not pregnant, there's still probably something not right.
I think if OP was pregnant, she would at least understand the cause of the weight gain, missed periods and moodiness. Not knowing what's wrong with you can be an FML.
If you recently started your period, having them sporadically and missing months is normal. it's just because your body hasnt gotten into its cycle yet. im going to assume that you havent had your period for years and your body is still trying to get into a cycle. if youre older and your period randomly stops for months, something may be wrong and you should see your doctor.
That's still pretty recent compared to the span of your whole natural cycle. It's only been one year, so yes, it's pretty recent. That could be simple reason why your periods are irregular. Give it time for your body to sort it out. If irregularities continue for years, you should see your PCP to rule out any health concerns.
