I started taking Garcinia Cambogia March 12, 2014, when I woke up this morning March 23rd, I saw brown spotting. I haven't had a period in two years and I am 56...I am going to discontinue taking this pill...I haven't lost a inch but gain bleeding. I also had nose bleeds and I have not experience nose bleeds since I was a child.

After you stopped taking the pills did your periods go back to normal ?

I tried this product a year ago. I had clots and an insane amount of bleeding. I never made the connection. I went to the doctor. Had blood work. Biopsy ultrasounds. Nothing was wrong. Except all the blood that no one could explain. Eventually I stopped taking the pills bc they didn't work. Recently I tried the pills again. A different brand this time. It's happening all over again.at least now I can save all the money that I spent on the doctors and just stop taking the pills. And again. ..no weight loss

Wow i'm so glad that its not just me thats having thing problem! i swear i started the pill and a day or two after i was getting brow discharge. I was freaking out, but then again i was in high stress environment (competition). iw aited and now, three days after being home, im still having the same problem. Its too soon to see if the pill is actually helping me loose weight or if it was the stress and bo eating durring competition that helped me. I'll touch back later. Going to stop taking it for now❤️

I've been taking it for close to 3 weeks now. I must say I'm having the opposite. I haven't gotten. Regular period in 4 years. When I do get my cycle now it's so light that I can barely tell of its a period. I am not on birth control and not sexually active. At any rate I get this light vaginal bleeding hat calls itself my period about 4 times a year. Well anyway this week started light but I am now bleeding at a medium pretty steady flow which hasn't happened in over 4 years. Only thing different is the garcinia. I don't mind. 

 

I will say I dont own a scale so idk if I lost weight but my belly is definitely smaller and appetite significantly decresed

I took it for a week, and stopped. I was getting bloated from it and thought maybe it had a negative affect on my IBS. Now my period is late though, and I was freaking out.

I have had the same exact problem! I took it a week, well actually almost two, and stopped because it made me bloated and icky. Now my period is late and I am freaked out. I really hope it is the pills!!!!

I am post menopausal. I took garcinia Cambodia and bled for 2 weeks. Thought it was cancer and went to dr. No cancer. Stopped taking the garcinia Cambodia. I think that is what made me bleed,

I have started taking this medication and I have started to notice signs of vaginal spotting. I did not have this going on before I started this medication. I am going to stop and see if this is the case. Because this is a major concern.

This is so similar to my experience. Scrary!

Happened to me along with some abdominal pain. On birth control and never spot so I thought I had a UTI but test came back negative. Stopped taking it and it went away.

Glad to see this post as well. I tried my first pill this morning, and less than 5 hours later I had breakthrough bleeding as well! It was almost 2 weeks earlier than when my period is supposed to start, and the color was definitely a lot darker than it usually is...strange strange side effects

I have also experienced the same systems, I started taking the pill about six weeks ago and have found that I have totally skipped a period all together and I am very regular to the day....have stopped taking it to see what happens. Thought it was to good to be true that a little pill could make you lose weight with no side effects, and besides I didn't lose a kilo and I was on it for quite a while.....SCAM.

I started my period 2 days ago, took two pills (suggested dose) yesterday and woke up this morning bleeding like a stuck pig. Very unusual, I have never had issues with my period.
