Nicotine health situation

[Douggro]

Haha I think it's very funny that the community of vapers are all answering my embarrassing question, men and all xD

Most of us guys have been around women all our lives. Although my wife is post-menopausal (and now uterus-free) I have two daughters. Some of us pick up on things.

Some women can and do go through periods (no pun) where their menses get out of whack. I had one female friend whose period had been calendar-regular and then drifted from 27 to 35 days with occasional skips as she neared 30. The first woman I cohabited with was on a dead-solid 29 day schedule. My wife's floated on a 27-32 day schedule. Point being, everybody is different. If you have questions about what may be going on, by all means see your OB/GYN. There's a fair chance that what you're "afflicted" with has some level of normalcy and shouldn't be overly concerning.

I didn't know where to post this, so I'm sorry if it's in the wrong spot.

I've never smoked a cigarette in my life or ever used nicotine, and last month I picked up the ivp d2 mod and a hercules tank, and a dozen bottles of 6 nicotine vape liquids.

I've been vaping with 6 nicotine for the past month or so, so basically coming from a life without nicotine I think I've introduced too much to my body.

My period has stopped completely and I'm in my mid 20's and I've had a lot of anxiety lately. I decided to get off nicotine but keep vaping without it.

but I was wondering if it would be okay to suddenly cold turkey this amount of nicotine I've introduced or should I ween myself off?

yes it's okey to stop cold turkey after a month.

and no, 6mg is not light on an ipv d2; depends on the wattage.
at 5 watts, 6mg would be light.


have you been vaping 10 to 20 ml per day?

How old are you? If you are at least 35, perimenopause could be starting. Menopause doesn't just suddenly happen. It can be a 15+ year process. It was about a 12 year one for me, and about 16 for my mother. I was regular as clockwork though until age 40. Then I went through missed periods for the next 7 years until menopause. I might skip one, or as many as 8 through those years.

OP stated mid-20's. Certainly very early for perimenopause to be starting. Not unheard of, but very unlikely.

@Douggro damn dude, you are dialed in!!

Just me,
If my body was supposed to do something it wasn't doing or doing something it wasn't supposed to do, I'd want to know why & if it was caused by something serious or not.

Seems the simple most reasonable answer is to get checked out by a doctor.

 

[seahawkin]

I read you have only been vaping the nic for a month, so I think you should be OK going to the 0 nic. As for the menstrual stuff, if you are regular and it just stopped I would see a doctor ASAP. I have never missed a period related to nicotine nor heard of it from taking nicotine. I have heard of the stress of quitting causing skipped or late periods... But I ain't a doctor.

I have gotten my period the first day of the full moon every month as long as I can remember. I don't even keep track besides looking at the moon, and all I know is it is going on a new moon and I still haven't gotten it, and it's okay to ask, I've been stressed out very much but that might be because of the rise in cortisol levels I'm getting from the nicotine habit I picked up. You skip a month every other year or so? Maybe that's just happening to me.

Haha I think it's very funny that the community of vapers are all answering my embarrassing question, men and all xD

we are a very friendly and helpful community and any man that lives with a woman knows about periods. some of us refer to it as "hell week"

If you were leading an everyday normal life with nothing out of the ordinary going on and the condition arose...................What would you do?

OB/GYN

Nicotine wouldn't affect your period, I've known women who have had 3 week late periods, skipped it all together, etc, they're quite fickle things as you may well know. If you don't get it relatively soon, I'd see a doctor if you're concerned but really I don't see much reason to be unless there are other symptoms. Your hormones determine your period's regularity and many things can affect those pesky things.

It sounds like you may be stressed lately, brought on by anxiety (I understand all too well), and may be worried further about dropping right away to 0mg (You may even of started using nicotine for stress-relief). You'll be completely fine doing so though, I assure you. If you are looking for stress relief though, I wouldn't go above 3mg, you could even mix two flavors you like together and mix it to 1.5mg. Moderation I think would be best.

As for all of this being embarrassing and the like, I really don't think of it in that way. It's a natural occurrence of the female body, what's so embarrassing about that? You're genuinely concerned, and many people on these forums are more than happy to help in anyway they can to help alleviate your present worries.

Hey, periods shouldn't be embarrassing - it's a fact of life.

Hey, periods shouldn't be embarrassing - it's a fact of life.

I have seen more than a few discussions about vooping here at ECF, I think the modesty train left the station a long time ago.

 

[Douggro]

@Douggro damn dude, you are dialed in!!

Had to be. Two girls going through puberty while the wife was menopausal/thyroid-deprived. It was a matter of survival!!
Really though, like I said, it's just a matter of being in the full-time company of the fairer sex since I was 18 and paying attention for the clues. Like if my oldest daughter is on a chocolate binge..

 

[glointhedark]

Are you on any medications, prescription or otherwise, for stress/anxiety? If so, you may want to consult with your doctor to make sure you are not experiencing a side effect of the medication.

If it were me, I would probably set up an appointment with my doctor anyway, just to rule things out, for my own peace of mind. Be honest with your doctor. If you are under a lot of stress and/or having anxiety, let him/her know about. Stress and anxiety can contribute quite a bit to physical problems, and your doctor may be able to help you with coping strategies and/or medication on an as needed basis to get through things.

I hope things work out for you.

I hear alcohol consumption could lead to unwanted pregnancy.

Gotta be legit. It's posted by the CDC AND on the internet.[emoji38]
All joking aside, it's time to see your OB for some answers and possible solutions.

This isn't normal for any kind of nicotine intake that I'm aware of.

Shark week.

My wife is menopausal and my daughter is just going into puberty.
I'm moving into the garage next week.

If you are concerned with stopping the nicotine cold turkey then buy some Zero of the same flavor and mix it in 50/50 at first and slowing cut it down.

Hey, periods shouldn't be embarrassing - it's a fact of life.

That's how I feel about the pain and itch of hemorrhoidal flair up! It's 2016, we should be able to talk about anything openly and honestly, but noooooo....talking about itchy painful hindquarters is off limits! And why is it baboons can "present" anytime and anywhere they want but when I do it at the mall or in the park, I get treated like I'm a danger to society and have to spend the weekend in lock up? (Which, believe you me, is one place you don't want to be presenting!) The worlds gone crazy.

 

[Big Me]

Haha with my IUD i have both. Great birth control and i havent had a period for 7 years

Are there hormones contained in that IUD? Because seven years isn't normal.

Due to PCOS I didn't have one for three years and when I finally did, it lasted 42 days without stopping. I had to go to the GP to get norethindrone to make it stop. During the consultation, the Dr told me that women should have a minimum of three periods a year to make sure the endometrium remains healthy.
