Hi Ladies,

Did you experience any changes in your monthly cycle post op? Infrequent? Lighter/heavier flow? I'm about a week late and I'm usually like clockwork so wondering what's going on.

I have been having problems, as well. I have spotted between periods and I am late starting my period this month... even though I've been pretty regular, pre op. I think it's pretty normal to have problems until our hormones level out.

Mine came early after surgery. Usually pretty regular. We'll see how it progresses!

Yes. After surgery in mid October, it has to taken me about 6 weeks to finally get my period. It just started today. Ugh.

It's been over 7 weeks, and still nothing. Except for some dark colored spotting yesterday and the day before.

I have an IUD and usually don't have my period, but I sure did this month - I thought it to be strange that I was having one but seeing that others have been affected in different ways I feel better.

I'm glad I read some comments on this site the day after my surgery. I'm on the depo, therefore don't usually have periods. I started one two days after my surgery. Luckily I wasn't surprised as read it was common.

I have an IUD as well and I keep forgetting to tell my surgeon that I have one. I wonder if that is even something I should bring up...what do you think?

I told my doc but she didnt seem to think it was a big deal - so if you feel like you should share then definitely do it - but don't stress if you haven't

i use nuvaring as BC and usually i don't get my period until i take it out. this month it actually started before i took it out, which was very strange. and it lasted a day longer. so yeah, i think it's because our bodies are still somewhat in shock.

I've always been like clockwork, and continued to have normal periods until about a month after surgery, when I suddenly had a very heavy period that came less than a week after my previous period. The worst part? It camped out for 3 weeks Finally went to the GYN who said it was probably the release of estrogen from all the fat being metabolized, but sent me for tests to be sure. So many fun little side effects throughout this process lol

Wow. My period just came (over a week late) and its like a bloodbath. Holy cow, the flow is very heavy and bright red in color. Hope it doesnt camp out for 3 weeks because no, just no!
