Ladies Questions -

I started my period the day after my surgery. From my normal 28 day cycle I should have started yesterday but I haven't, should I worry? I know I am not pregnant. But I like to know when I am going to start so I don't worry about what I am wearing and where I am going.

My periods have been ALL OVER THE BLOODY SHOW! Literally!

There is no rhyme, no reason. They have lasted (3 of them in the last 6.5 months), over 17 days.

I do suffer from PCOS and despite being on tablets that are supposed to stop my monthlies - they just keep on comin'! Apparently its to do with all the hormones flooding your system when you start shedding weight. (Hormones get trapped in fat cells)

I would say if your monthlies are normal, prior to surgery, expect a little upset as your body adjusts. Prolly a couple of months or so. After that, you'll no doubt be groovy.

What I would say though, just be a bit prepared for things to go a little haywire for a while.

I, personally, feel I should buy some shares in lil-lets tampons. I've floated the bloody company single-handedly for the past 6 months :angry:
