Weird Cycles?

Ok, this is for the ladies, did any of you have weird periods after your surgery? I have thought that I was starting my period everyday this week. Then it stops. . .

  • Oh my.. I completely feel you on the weird cycle thing. I have an IUD so my periods went away but right after the surgery I got my period, after almost 2 years! It was weird, but they went away again!

  • My Gyn explained that our fat cells also store estrogen, melt the fat and you get a rush of estrogen...tada! It abates in time. It also means you're a little pms'y the first months when your dropping

My tubes have been tied for five years and this week I have taken two pregnancy tests! Where the hell is my period? I had a normal on last month. This month nothing! I'm not saying I miss it... Lord knows I'm fine not having one. But a little heads up from the doc would be nice! I'm assuming it has to do with the lack of eating and rapid weightloss.

Day 2 in the hospital' date=' my unscheduled period started and lasted for over 2 weeks. It was extremely heavy and seemed as if there was no end. Now, almost 1 month later, I feel like it is about to come back. I am on the pill, but I heard it was not as effective after gastric bypass.[/quote']

That's too long for a period.

That can do a big number on you. Glad to see I'm borm now but soon with get the novasure done.

  • 2 weeks later...

Glad to see this thread! I was wondering about my weird cycles too! Before surgery I got my cycle about 3-4 times a year which was part of my infertility problem. I had two daughters using infertility drugs. Since surgery (12 weeks out), I have had 2 periods but feeling symptoms constantly. I have not been on birth control for 20 years because my husband and I both had infertility issues but now I am wondering if I should go on something? Really do not want to get pregnant within the 2 years and definitely not after that. I'm done with kids at 42!

If I were you, I would look into it. If you don't want to do the hormonal route, think about the coper IUD. So many people have become pregnant because all they needed was that weightloss. Not to mention if lack of estrogen was a factor, burning fat will fix that. It's a really good idea to look into it.

I'm on depo and don't get it but after surgery started the blood thinners and have had it since!!! My ob said that will cause it to start.
