 [ Symptoms ] on depo period symptoms wo bleeding i have been on the depo shot for a bit longer than a year now and i love it this past week was my week before my next shot and usually i have bleeding then but i have not i have had a thick white discharge cramping and other period symptoms and i have almost fainted had vertigo a few times i have never had this sort of thing happen but i have done pregnancy tests both at home and in the lab i work at so unless it is too early to tell i am not pregnant has this happened to anyone else [ Disease ] the short answer is no generally after time in a sauna you might go to the scale and see that the number is lower but that represents the water you lost from sweating and will increase as soon as you replace those lost fluids which you need to do so you do not become dehydrated while being exposed to high temps can increase your metabolism and slightly increase the number of calories you burn this is only because your body is working to keep your temperature within normal ranges once you leave the environment your metabolism will return to normal bottom line time spent in a sauna would be more effectively used to prepare a healthy meal or more exercise that being said if you enjoy time in the sauna use it as a motivation tool reward yourself with some time in the sauna everytime you visit the gym while i agree with mark about not using a sauna to lose weight saunas do have some inherent health benefits these come in the form of increased circulation which is also great for your skin and hair and relief from some forms of nasal congestion   and of course you can not overlook the benefit of relaxation and what that can do for your well being many cultures around the world have used saunas as an integral part of their daily lives for centuries and have benefited from doing so yes
