Missed Period after surgery?!



Recommended Posts

I am going absolutely nuts here as I have never, ever missed a period EVER-unless I was pregnant. I have only one fallopian tube, and it was tied ten years ago. My hormone levels are normal, Iron normal-bloodwork PERFECT-just saw my doc yesterday as I had this done post-op just to make sure I was ok.

So LMP was December 14th...It is now January 19th and I am typically on a 30-32 day cycle at most. I had a normal period the month of my surgery and also afterwards.

I FEEL like I am going to get it...all the bells and whistles...hormones raging, nausea, sore back, headache, some cramping...for the last two weeks.

But nothing.

So, a: is it normal to not get a period after surgery?

b: What are the frigging odds I got pregnant??!!! I am six days late.

Surgery messed with mine. I had one *immediately* following surgery (2 weeks after my last). Then nothing for over a month, then a normal, then a super light... you get the picture. Between the surgery and the weight loss, nothing in that department is normal any more. =\

I am getting sleeved on Jan 23rd. In our Dr s program we are told to use double contraception after the sleeve until we can go back on our pill or IUD or more permanent form of birth control because weight loss fast like this makes us extra fertile. I hope it is just your hormones out of whack from the surgery.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
