it does mess with our cycle.. but actually it works.. i hate it .. but actually i just want to know why does it messes with our cycles?
Wish I would have done a bit more reading before starting Garcinia Cambogia!! I haven't had a period in almost a year and a half. I started taking it a couple weeks ago and my period has returned with a vengeance! Not taking garcinia ever again!! Did notice any positive results from it anyway. In fact, I've gained a couple pounds.
I am also experiencing the bleeding. I stopped taking it for a week and just took it again today and started bleeding. I will not be taking it again
I experienced the same thing. My period is very normal 28 days but when I started to take garcinia pills I did noticed spotting between my period at first it confuse me if my period was coming but it was to soon 20 days. I went to my Dr and he told me to stop taking the garcinia and yes my period was normal again. I took it again trying to loose weight for my vacation three months before and yes same thing happened. I was looking for answer to see if anyone experience the same thing and I found few reviews. I lost weight fast love it but it did make my period in regular.
I am a 60 year old woman who has been postmenopausal for 10 years. GC in the Plexus products has caused me to have a period. I’m stopping immediately!
I am 8yrs beyond menopause and started taking Garcinia Cambogia twice daily as the bottle recommends and I started vaginal bleeding after 6 days. This was very surprising to me. I threw away my bottle and will just keep up with my time exercising.
After how many days of stopping gc it stopped
I just stopped taking, I'm 42 sexually active had a tubal. My period has always been exact and ive been taking for 5 days and started spotting screw that I threw it away
I started taking GC extract pills just this week. Overall, I took about 5 pills (1 on Monday night, 2 on Tuesday, and 2 on Wednesday). I started breakthrough bleeding Friday evening of the same week, despite taking all my birth control (tricira lo 28) pills on time. I have been taking my birth control pills for over a year now and my menstrual cycle is regular, so breakthrough bleeding is out of the ordinary. My period shouldn't have come for at least 9 more days, so I definitely suspect that this was caused by the GC extract pills. This is my second day without taking GC, so I'm hoping the breakthrough bleeding will stop soon.
Update on the plexus slim and vaginal bleeding? I’m experiencing the same.
I took it my first time today, and spotted. How long until the spotting is over?
Started garcinia cambogia three weeks ago and I've had breakthrough bleeding every day since I started it. I'm 29, on BC, and have never had breakthrough bleeding before. Lost three pounds, but not worth the risk.
I have been taking garcinia Cambodia off and on for a while and each time I start irregular bleeding. I’m wondering what causes this and if it has something to do with serotonin levels because I heard garcinia raises serotonin levels and that effects hormones. Does anybody know if this could be why garçons causes irregular bleeding in many women.
It really stinks because garcinia works for me and helps me with mood and keeping weight under control.

Hey guys, I've had the same problem off and on over years of trying this product and I finally decided to look further into it this time around when the bleeding started. It amazes me to see how many other women experienced this same thing and how this isn't a more known side effect by now!
So the first time I tried this, I was not on birth control and had no irregular bleeding from what I can remember (it was years ago.) Any time after that, I had the irregular bleeding, breakthrough bleeding etc. Sometimes it was so heavy it scared me. I take my birth control continuously because I've always had issues with my period, so any time I brought this up to my doctor they just blamed it on that.
This product is not FDA regulated so there aren't that many studies out there but I was able to find a bit of information that might be useful.
1. HCA (active ingredient in Garci) could potentially cause slow blood clotting, which would be an issue if you have any blood disorders.
2. HCA could effect blood sugar levels, which can effect your cycle because glucose levels effect estrogen
3. HCA does effect serotonin levels like someone above me said, which could impact the hormones too.
So that's the info I was able to dig up, I hope it helps someone. Either way I'm tossing these pills and not trying again. :)

My period has been very lite for years now and it’ll last about 4-5 days. Today I am on my 2nd day of my period which is usually not heavy, I am so scared right now bc my period is so heavy!!!! I have been taking Garcinia Cambodia for about 3 weeks now. I am so heavy that I have to change my pads just about every 30 minutes or less.
