I was so please to see this women's section as didn't want to freak out the men or women not wanting to help with this question.

I'm 5 days out of surgery today and at home once again, yay. However on day 3 I had some bleeding and nurse found unusual and asked about my period. As I explained to her I have the rod in my arm and have not had a period for about 18mths. Day 4 only one occurrence of spotting, mentioned to nurse again and the tested urine with not much found. Now day 5 I have normal (light for most) period (I'm guessing).

Anybody else had something like this were they didn't get periods and did soon after surgery? How do I know if I should be concerned? Thank you, awkward but means heaps

The surgery will stir up your hormones - could account for some unusual cycle occurences. The hormone disturbance also causes some mood issues after surgery. For me, it all seemed to even out 3-4 weeks after surgery.

I have the Mirena IUD and havent had bleeding at all since 09! I am 2 weeks po and have started spotting . Its perfectly normal! Hormones are stored in fat cells so as we loose weight the hormones get released...which can cause periods and crazy mood swings and a higher sex drive in many!

Oh thanks lady's ???? in my lack of sleep last night i also have a light bulb moment, I had one shot a day in the stomach to prevent blood clotting, which must be a blood thinner and might also contribute. Glad you guys said normal as I did get worried there for a bit
