Female Issues

I had my surgery on October 3rd. Maybe 1 week after surgery I started having very dark brown discharge. I started my BC on October 29. It stopped it for not even a week. Should I call my OBGYN about the discharge? There is no blood, just very very dark brown discharge. It's driving me crazy!!

Since it is dark brown it could be old blood... I would call you Gyno just to be sure. Better safe then sorry!

I would just call your gyno, it's probably nothing! I started mine the week after surgery.

I thought the same thing. But I'm 6 weeks out (on Wednesday) and I'm on birth control.

A lot of girls get some sort of discharge or full blown period right after. Mines is ALL sorts of off. It ended a week before my surgery, I got it a few days after my surgery, missed a month and a week or so, got it full charge on and off about 3 weeks, the next time on time, missed about a month and a half (scared the day lights out of my dr lol) got it reeeeeeally bad after that, and haven't gotten it since. That was about 2ish months? since I guess? I'm def not preggo! I'm just enjoying no cramps or hassle :)

When you lose a lot of weight rapidly it does a number on your estrogen/progesterone which can cause you to have spotting, discharge, longer periods, etc.

My advice is, it never hurts to give a quick call to your doctors office. Usually they have a nurse who takes those calls, and she will be able to tell you whether it is something you need to be concerned with or not.

Thanks ladies. I've had this discharge for basically 6 weeks straight now. I was very busy at work last week, so I'm calling on Monday.

I spotted heavily for the first 3-4 months after surgery. I'm just lately starting to get back to normal.

3-4 months? That's not a good sign. lol

I read somewhere that it might have had to do with the blood thinners they give you in the hospital. Might.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
