Missed period 4 months out...

Obviously I realize that most of you are NOT medical professionals... I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing... Following my surgery which was on 4/25 I had an "extra" period in may and then my period came right on time around the first of every month.. Now here we are in September... I'm down about 40is lbs and my period is no where in sight. I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative. I have since scheduled an appointment with my obgyn and I have a follow up appointment with my surgeon in a few weeks. Anyone else experience missed period after being regular?

Hmmmm.... So- you're 2 weeks late-ish. A pregnancy test should show if you are (although with my daughter it didn't). I'm curious to know what your doctor says :)

I think it's normal. You're body is going through a lot.

I'm a few days late right now and i know i'm not pregnant. I'm barely a month out but any type of stress to the body can disrupt it.

I took the pregnancy test at about 8 days late. My gyn called in a script for a blood test today. I had some mild cramping around the time of my period which is usual and then it just never came. Since my surgery my period hasn't been shy about showing up! Lol it's been there FULL FORCE it's just weird to me that I have no spotting no nothing. Did you get pregnant with your daughter after surgery? My husband would be THRILLED if I was pregnant... I would def have some mixed emotions being so soon out after surgery. All these body changes are just so weird sometimes.

No! She was an oops pre-surgery! Although I did have a blighted ovum in July-9 months post op. we are planning to start trying in December for another :)

Have you missed any periods? I know I have read a lot about the periods getting worse which mine have but I just thought it was weird after 3 months of normal and my weight loss some what balanced out to miss one now. I'm the least stressed I have been in months... Like I said I did go for blood work and should have some real answers soon just didn't know if anyone else was experiencing something similar

Hi there! I am only a month out, but already having issues like you. Last week was supposed to be TOM, got my usual breakout, cramping, etc., but no period. Immaculate conception #2 would have to be in play if I were prego, so I'm thinking this might just be a side effect? Hope everything goes well with your blood test! Keep us posted!

Thank you so much! I hear of so many people who have extra periods but found nothing on people missing periods!

First 2 months post op, i got my cycles twice in the same month, was weird & heavy for next 2 months, then missed my cycle 2 months straight & then it return back to normal at 7 mons post op. GYN & VSG doc both said it was normal with the extreme weight loss & hormonal changes.

I had my surgery on Aug 22. I'm 4 days late myself... Ugh.. For sure not pregnant..

I have been like a clock! You could run a train schedule by my period! It's ridiculous. I didn't have one for almost a year before surgery, but other than my miscarriage in July it has been on time and a pretty rough go.

Thank you for all the responses. I appreciate it. I should get my test results tomorrow or Thursday. I will keep you all posted.

I've had other stressful situations makes me completely miss mine for a month. It's happened twice and my gyno wasn't worried.

I'm only 30ish days out of surgery. I had my period while getting the surgery...so fun.

I got my blood pregnancy test back today which was negative. I am waiting for the remainder of it. I will keep you guys posted.
