Your hormones may be in a state of adjustment. But if it continues you may waht to talk to your doctor - there could be other factors involved.

Mine are always heavy on the first day (sometimes second) and then it drops off. I think the less I wieght the lower the amount (or the less amount of fat I have on my body). But as Asimmer said if it keeps up & stays heavy you do need to see your doctor.

My mom had that problem & she had to get all that stuff removed (sorry I can't think how to spell that word)

If you're not already on it, might want to ask your doctor if getting on the pill would help.
