Irregular menstrual cycles

I'm a little over 8 months post op, I'm currently on the pill, but my cycles are still so irregular, its soo annoying! I used to be regular on time every month. Is anyone else going through something similar?

I'm only about a month out but so far all over the place. Lots of random spotting too.

I am one month out today and got m y period twice already this month.... Time for back up birth control I guess. How long does this last?

My surgeon said that it sometimes takes about 6 months to be regular again, but I'm well over 6 months now lol

Me too...two periods in a month...what the heck?

I'm almost 8 months post-surgery. My first one after surgery was a week late. My third one after surgery was a week or so early. My most recent one was 8 days early.

I already have pretty short cycles (24 days) so this isn't great for me. I have a Paragard (non-hormonal) IUD.

I actually had my annual recently and will be going in for some further testing later this month to see if there's something going on. If they don't find anything, I'm going to have to go on hormones to help try and regulate things.

I am terrified what I will get... I have been irregular for years. I have a weight where I immediately go irregular and when I am under it I am regular. It scares me that I am going to be bombarded with them just to make up for it

I am 4 mo post op, and this just started in july, I had 3 periods, I am waiting to see if August is the same way before I seek medical help for it. Also, in July I began losing a lot of hair too. Between my periods and my hair loss , I am bummed !!!

I'm only about 10 days out. I am not liking the sound of this... Ah, well, such is life. I have PCOS, so this shouldn't be new to me, only that my symptoms were usually the absence of the period...

I was taken off the pill while in the hospital after surgery. I had an early pseudo period that week (I had just had my normal period a week and a half before surgery). I will be 8 weeks out on Monday and have yet to have my period. I am extremely nervous though because the whole reason I started the pill way back when is because I got such severe cramping that I will literally get sick and vomit every month.

My cycle was crazy for 6 mons. Got it 2 days post op & it was weeks early. Missed it for 2 months. Got it twice in one month. Got it bad for 2-3 months lasting for 5 days, pre-op normal for me was 2 days total. Didn't get back to normal until 6 mons post op.

I can't take birth control so I'm just hoping mine straighten out...

Irregular all my life. 2 months post sleeve and have had mine 3 times. This last time it lasted 2 weeks!!! Not fun.
