hi. ok so i know this sounds supper crazy. if I waz reading it id think so to....but about 4 days post op I startd "my period" however its not due plus it is supper light where usally its heavy and its yellowish brown and smells funny...so i wonder if this is my period or what.??? For a minute I wondered if it could be bleeding that was going into the drain until it was pulld then it had to go somewhere so came out vaginal....especially since u hear of girls getting their "period" post op all the time ???

any ideas???

I have endometriosis, and polycystic ovary. I had an ablation in 2008 and was told I probably would never have another period. Lo and behold, 4 days post op, one of the worst periods ever graced its presence. So glad I had the Tylenol 3 on board! Now I don't feel like something is wrong, looking at everyone else's responses

Yup. Happened to me. I've been on the pill continuously (meaning not taking the week of placebo pills to spur on a menstrual cycle) for well over a decade and I bled for the first time a few weeks after surgery. First period in like 15 YEARS while still taking the same dose of BC continuously.

My gyno said I may need to increase to a higher dose if it kept happening but luckily it lasted only a week and hasn't come back!

I was sleeved on March 13 and started a cycle. At first I thought it was just from the catheter. But I lasted a full week. Hang in there

Ended up I didn't need the D&C but I did have the ablation and haven't even have the spotting that was expected from the procedure. Hope this is a good sign that I am through with periods!

I have always had regular periods and was on Lo-ogestrel prior to and after surgery. However, a little less than a month after surgery, I literally got a period that was insanely heavy and lasted for 3 weeks. Needless to say, I completely freaked out and went to the OB/GYN to see what the story was. She said that metabolizing so much fat can often increase our hormone levels, which can make our periods go wonky (lovely). After a few more months of weirdness, I decided to take a break from the pills to try and regulate everything naturally. I'm back to having regular and much lighter periods.

I started brown old bleeding then normal then back to brown old bleeding and get dizziness tired all the time bruises nausea and this has been happening 4 days after surgery mine was on the 9th of April 2014
