Yep mine is back to normal after about 3 years of it being screwed up. DOS:12/10 first period arrived 12/30 it was 5 days,instead of 8.

I had my surgery on 12/11/12 and had my period that same week just as normal for 4days but then this month it cam earlier and it's been for over a week now. I emailed my gyn and she said my body is adjusting but I am annoyed at this point for such a long period.

Fat holds all the hormones we produce so as that begins to dissolve you end up with hormonal changes that you would normally experience around your period Or it could be a fluctuation of your period I'm going on the pill in feb because I don't want to experience what I have in the past with weight loss I had a 4 month period ended up on birth control to get my body regulated. so I understand your concern and frustration. Maybe try a different form of birth control. good luck!

I don't have a nuvaring. I am not even on birth control right now. My period is a week late which is very unusual. NO, I am not pregnant. My hormones have just gone wacko, understandably.

I have an iud, got my period a couple days after surgery and really bled off and on for 2 weeks. Usually its 5-7 days and its so lite I just wear a panty liner. Not this time. I was just sleeved dec 27. So hopefully its back to normal next month. Sorry if tmi but u asked!

Yes, before surgery I've been complaining about it being late all the time.. sometime it's up to 10 days late which freaks me out cause I'm on the copper IUD.. and when it arrives I usually experience heavy cramps and bleeding like a tap being turned on... Met with my obgyn, and of course the problem was with my weight... he said the fat cells surrounding the IUD is causing all that.... so 7 months post op. I've been noticing that it's usually on time., but what's really weird is that my cycle is shorter... It used to be 28 days, but now it's like 24!!! But mild cramps & bleeding now..
