I has not had a period in years since I have no ovaries. However I for one after the surgery and it was almost two weeks. Even when I did get my period it only ever lasted for 3-4 days. I know it has everything to do with the hormones that are being released and bombarding our body.

I hate auto correct! I hope people can make sense of my last post.

Just on my first period after the surgery....not bad, but the blood looks darker...probably because I need to drink more water.

I started mine after surgery (great!) but it stopped in a normal time frame, however a month later it's raging!!! I'm going with the hormones being released from fat and pray it doesn't stick round for as long as yours has... I feel for ya!!!

I had a little bit of a period. But I was bleeding for a long time before my procedure. Now, I have no bleeding and I'm totally happy. I only bleed for like 3 weeks. :)

I started my period a couple days before my surgery. I'm now 12 days out from the surgery and it's still going. So I feel ya. I pray to God it doesn't last six weeks! You poor thing!!

I am on Depo too and I hadn't had a period in almost 4 years at the time of my surgery.

I missed a hot before surgery, due to risk of clots so I had a three month break in between.

I had spotting non-stop from two weeks after surgery until A few weeks ago when I got my new shot. It finally slowed down and then stopped.

The spotting was more like a period though, I couldn't use a tampon but had to have a think/medium pad on at all times.

My GYN said the next shot stopped it because it redistributed the hormone to my system. But almost 4 months of spotting.
