Menses/Time of the Month

[Alexandra39 72]

I haven't had my period since the month after my initial surgery. I told my surgeon she said it's due to the stress my body is going through. Last time I got it was November. I'm worried. I'm 39. Anyone have the same problem?

I have pcos and I didn't meet TOM until a month after surgery you may have to just relax and let it run its course , it will come eventually .....

I have had 1 period in December, after surgery in November..nothing since...I don't even care...I just assumed it was due to the stress of losing the weight

Yes, Must add, I got my period in the hospital after surgery, it was Awful. Then again about 2 weeks after that when I was at home, then I had 1 normal one, then nothing since....very screwed up.

Update: I know this may be TMI (too much info) lol but since it's what the topic is about...I finally got my period today. Whew! I'm relieved. For a moment I thought it was early menopause. I don't even know why I was so worried, it's not like I plan having any more children. Maybe it's all the menopause associated symptoms that I often hear women complaining about is what scares me. After all, I'm still recovering and adjusting after this surgery.

Well, although I'm relieved about getting my period after 3 months of not having it, I'm not enjoying the bloating and cramps!

I think the doctor and several people here were right about the stall. It's been over 2 Weeks since I began soft foods and now I have stopped losing weight. It's only been fluctuating between 158 & 159 lbs. I've at least 34 more pounds to lose to reach my goal weight. But yes, I notice that since I stopped losing weight so quickly, now I have my period again. Makes sense. My body is no longer "in shock".
