Where is aunt flo?

I'm over a week late, which is unusual for me. My husband has been snipped and I'm faithful.

So where is AF? Do the accompanying hormone friends that come w the sleeve make AF wonky? Maybe it's my blood thinners I'm on? Google doesn't give me results in that.

I feel crampy for a day and then nothing for a few. And so on. What gives?

Updates! I went to the gyno this week, after not seeing Aunt Flo for over 3 months. I was ALWAYS regular before surgery. He did an ultrasound and said cervix and ovaries look good, but that the uterus lining was thin, which means I'm probably not ovulating. (I can tell when I am, and I have not ovulated since surgery). So, no cycle. All blood work came back normal. He explain that throughout evolution, weight loss is a sign of famine, so losing ~20 lb in a month tells our bodies that if we aren't able to consume enough to maintain ourselves, we can not support a baby, additionally. Clearly everyone is different, but at least everything is normal for me. It still bothers me that my body has shut down natural processes, and I can't help but wonder if the energy saved by ovulating has any impact on metabolism. He says to come back and see him if my weight stabilizes for about 3 months and she still doesn't return.

Thank you so much for sharing this. Like you, I've been regular like clockwork since the age of 12 post surgery! I was sleeved 4/23, and I'm 3 days late, which by some standards isn't bad, but as stated before I was always regular and on time prior to surgery. Needless to say I've been worried, but your post puts me at ease - thank you!
