I Feel like I've been posting a lot lately lol! Had my surgery yesterday morning and got my period yesterday, 10 days early. Anyone else experience this or know if this is something to be concerned about?

My cycle was weird the first 3 month following surgery - however, afterwards it was normal.

I had my surgery on a friday and started my period a week early on the sunday after. I think stress and trauma sometimes cause women to start earlier.

Mine was a week late the month after surgery.

I had the same thing and started mine early after my band. I also had an experience when in hospital about 14 yrs ago and started WAY early. One of the ICU nurses told me that it is very common that for some reason women who go into hospital the majority will end up with a period whether or not it is due. I don't know whether it is adapting to the flowing hormones around the hospital or the stress or what.

I know many have heard that our cycles will start to link up with friends/coworkers.. but..

In civilizations that had multiple wives/harems etc.. part of the reason for the addition of wives all the time was due to this reason. When someone new was brought in they were on a different cycle, so would be seen in the time when all the others were on their cycle, then the new woman would end up on the same cycle as everyone else eventually who usually followed the Alpha Female. For many of these Countries is was more of a taboo to associate sexually with a wife or concubine during this time, so they brought in new ones to add to the mix. Obviously it was a never ending cycle, but interesting to say the least.

Had surgery April 3, 2012 and my period is still messed up. Multiple times a month and longer than usual. I think it is kind of normal after your body goes through lots of changes...our whole system is in shock from the surgery and your body is confused by the weight loss.

I had my surgery on Friday, about two days before my period was due. I still haven't started, and haven't had my usual warning signs either (mild cramps). I'm just waiting for the throwdown, though, since I have no clue when it will start up again.

I started mine 10 days early the day after my surgery! So strange that several have as well...

I started a week early too

Totally normal to have your cycles thrown off because of stress, trauma (like surgery), etc. Nothing to be worried about.

I'm glad to hear this. I have not had my cycle since the week before my surgery, so it is about 2 weeks late. As far as I'm concerned, it can stay away. Glad to hear it is normal to be thrown off.

I had my surgery on a thurs snd hog my period on Saturday....
