Hi. Did anyone else skip a period after surgery? I never got mine this month and I am wondering if it is related. I am not pregnant for sure for sure. Surgery was June 27th.

I missed my first one. Then the next one started and hasnt really stopped. .. our bodies are full of crazy and it will take a while to become regular again.

I was so glad that I started last week, knowing that means I'll be period free during my hospital stay next week. I hadn't even thought about the possibility of irregularities afterwards. Dang!

I'd bring some pads with you just in case. You might have some bleeding/spotting even if you had your period already. Just from the stress of the surgery on your body. Better to be prepared!

I can't imagine that happening since I've maintained regularity for the past 20 years, but if I do, I'll just ask for hospital pads. Can't be any worse than using them after delivering a baby!

Yes. I had mine the week before surgery and since I'm on the pill I always know when it's coming so I planned it that way. I did not want my period during surgery. I started again 3 days post op anyway just from the stress on my body. I bled for a month after that! It was crazy and I thought it would never end.

Yikes! Ok, I'm packing pads!

Omg yes...my first one after surgery lasted atleast a month! Bodies going through sooooo many changes!

Better to be over prepared than under prepared and sorry!

Well... good thing I prepared! Sure enough, I started 2nd day after surgery and still going...

So my period has been totally unchanged by surgery...started on schedule 2 weeks post op, pretty normal, bleeding and cramping nothing out of the ordinary....started using the nuvaring about 2 months post-op so now I have almost no period. Woohoo! Just wanted to share that for any pre-op folks that were reading this thread thinking OMG IT HAPPENS TO EVERYONE?!?!? Not everyone, but it does sound like a pretty good chunk of folks have some hormone changes!

I had no change in period either.. I had mine 2 weeks before and it came right on time 2 weeks after, except it has gone from ovulating on day 16 to day 14 and from a 28-29 day cycle to a 26-27 day cycle... Can't really complain with that but I have always been super regular!

B/c of my weight, I haven't had one in over a year. Two weeks post op. Bam!!!! Guess it's a good thing?..

I never got mine because I got KNOCKED UP!! LoL!

I'm glad someone brought this up. My Dr. made me go off the pill a month before surgery until a month after. I was desperate NOT to since I have very heavy/painful cycles and it took years to get it under control. Alas, I went off it and am back on now (5 months Post surgery - 4 months taking pill.) but I've been spotting the entire time.

Super annoying. Tampons are expensive!
