I got my IUD back in Jan 2010 after I got it my period stoped and loved it saved lists of money not needing pads or anything but I got sleeved 8/25 and since then lost 12lbs and I'm almost 2 weeks out . This Wednesday I got my period for the first time in almost 3 years and it was heavy and I was dizzy to stand walk sit anything so I went to the er they hooked me up to a IV because I was not taking in enough water and loosing so much blood has this happen to anyone you drop weight and then bam aunt flow comes back ? They gave me a shot in my but to slow it down hurt like hell and did not work was wondering if this has happen to anyone else and since I can't take iron til 3 weeks out I'm not a happy camper

oh no! sorry to hear of the trouble your having. i have not been sleeved yet , im due 9/20 but i have delt with the period that wouldent stop when i went on the hcg diet about a year ago. it was awful!

I'm 10days out and have had 2 periods this month (an extra one since surgery),and i've heard several say this happe ned to them, or that they had a period for 1st time in 5 years or so...

I heard that losing fat quickly releases estrogen that is stored in fat. Could that be it? I feel like I've been PMSing since surgery.

I too got my firs period in months 2 weeks after surgery. losing weight helps the body be able

to regulate your cycles so time to welcome back aunt flo, you're going to continue to lose!

I have a inplanon for birth control in my arm, I have had it for 2 yrs now. The whole time I've had it I only had aunt flow 3 times (in 2 yrs). I was sleeved on Aug 2nd and have been with aunt flow every other week since then. Soon as she leaves she comes back like she forgot something. I talked to my dr and he said its because ur body is going tho shock right now with the major changes, and this is normal. He said once my body figures out that my stomach ain't coming home it will go back to normal. I sure hope so. Good luck and ur not alone.

When I was on HCG, this happened to me as well. I was on my period for over a month one time. It scared the crap out of me.

Oh Aunt Flo, please go away!

I'm implanon too and was loving it. Exactly the same scenario. I hope to get my good undies back out of the top drawer sometime in the near future.

Sometimes being a woman just sucks

I hadn't had a period since April of this year. I just thought it was menopause. Well, 5 days after the surgery, it started. The doctor said that wasn't unusual because of the release of estrogen stored in the fat were burning. Fortunately, mine wasn't that bad, but it did start again yesterday. What the hoo?

I have implanon too and I got mine post op day 4 after 5 yrs with out one! I'm now day 10 I'm praying it doesn't come back

Glad I found this thread! I haven't had a period since last July and thought I was done with all this. Last week I started having a bit of a discharge and it looks like today it's going to be a full on period. Anyone have an idea of how long this is supposed to last (the release of all the hormones, I mean.) I'm hoping this doesn't start up the factory again!
