Woman Question

Just a quick question... Has anyone noticed a change in their period since surgery? I keep spotting and it just won't start all the way.. This is my first one since surgery. Just wondering

Mine went from about 31 days to about 27 and I ovulate earlier in the month.

Funny you asked this....I had not had a period since June...then when I had surgery, 2 days later started my period & it lasted for 7 days!! I thought that was weird!!

I was regular all the way up to surgery which was a month ago. It's time now and I usually spot for a day then it comes but now I've been spotting for 3 and its hardly anything. So weird

Before surgery I would have one, then go months and months without a period, since surgery I have been having mine regular now, it might be a day or two off from the previous month, but it's always the last week of the month.

Before surgery I had a very irregular period. Sometimes I would go months without it and I also had bled for three months straight at one point.

Since surgery I have been completely regular.

My gyno said that it gets regular because the heavier you are the more estrogen your body stores. I too experienced the same thing and was a little worried. Hope this helps

I think it may be the stress of the surgery on your body, it should straighten out soon though.

Mine are jacked up! I had a month long one after surgery, then a couple normal-ish ones and now I'm going on 3 weeks of fun times with the all too frequent visitor...

Doc says it's the hormones being released from my fat stores and variances in periods are normal though.

I am only 3 weeks post op but I'm late.. have been feeling "crampy" for a week but no period yet.. LOL

I went from not having one because of my birth control to getting 3 in 5 weeks but the first one lasted a week the past 2 have only lasted 2 days
