Did your Menstral Change after Surgery?

I was wondering if you had any changes in your cycle after surgery? Did it get shorter? Was the flow heavier? I'm just curious to know. Men pardon my post but I had to ask.

This. I have it for a day or two' date=' the next week I may spot for a few hours. I'm all over the place post op. Pre op it came like clockwork. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk[/quote']

Yes omg, you and I are in the same boat !

Wow' date=' I've been wanting to ask everyone the same thing... I called my dr yesterday because my menstrual was a lot heavier than normal when it started. I stayed on for 2 weeks and stopped. Then I started spotting again yesterday! Annoying, but the dr said this is common in women after gastric! Good to know I'm Not alone!! HW:320 SW:311 DW:320 SD: 7/11 CW 282[/quote']

Yes sis we are truly in this together....I spot, then period, then stop....lucky for my family I'm not raging with my hormones changing like this lol

If considering depo...please research! I had blood clot to lung following surgery..docs strongly in agreement it is directly related to depo use. Would never have thought that could happen. Can never take it again!! Just be careful

My doc told me to get the para guard because I will be so fertile and she don't want me get pregnant within a year because it might end in a miscarriage

Mine started the day after surgery. And it hasn't been right since. It is much heavier and come about every 2 weeks and last for 8 days. It is completely irregular. I tried depo before the surgery and it made me gain a lot of work. After the surgery, my doctor tried the Nuva ring and I could feel it all the time and the thought of it was kinda gross. I have heard way to many horror stories about the IUD, so I'm just still searching for answers.

Just curious about the depo because my cousin gained a lot of weight on that...and Im wanting to get an IUD, but after i had my 2nd son three yrs ago via csection, i tried 3 times to get an IUD and they couldn't get it in..something about my uterus or something being tilted, i dont know. But they got it in once and said theres a high chance of it coming out, so she just took it out. I think trying to get an IUD was the worst pain ive ever felt lol...considering ive never went into labor with either of my kids.

Worst period ever 3 months to the day of surgery. I had it right after I got home from surgery, then 2 weeks later, then nothing till yesterday. Ouchie.

Had my period since the day after surgery an it's still here an on turbo :( it'll be two weeks Monday ! No pain but very annoying I hope it stops..my periods were always irregular like id get it every few months so I'm sure my uterus is letting loose from all the times I missed but shit I'm so over it ! A girl has needs !

Just stopped after 32 days! Geez enough already!

I have a tilted uterus so I never had nexplanon... Did the depo shot and so did my friend, she gained 39 lbs and no matter what she did couldn't take the weight off until she stopped getting the shot and a year later... My periods have been heavy and unpredictable ... Considering what we go through to lose weight, I wouldn't use anything that may help with gaining weight

The wonderful world of menstruation reared its ugly face to me this past Saturday and has been relentless! Before surgery (9-23-13) I was lucky to have one every few months and with a light to medium flow! Not to be gross, but I think it would be easier to attach a bag somehow or just sit on the toilet :/ I don't sleep well and that makes me a bit crabby! I certainly don't feel like exercising, but feel better after I do as far as cramps are concerned. Good thing I have never had crazy cravings at this time of the month because I am sure they don't come in liquid or puree form LOL! I have wanted salt though :(
