Return of periods.

Ok, so my surgeon says that in some cases postmenopausal women have their periods come back since hormones are stored in fat and the rapid weight loss cause hormones to be dumped into the system. :blink: NOOOOOOOOO! Has this happened to anyone?

Am post menopausal - 10 yrs +. Out of the blue I nad a menstual cycle about six weeks prior to surgery, and another as soon as I got home from the hospital. Nothing since (fingers crossed). I had an ultrasound, but gun said uterine lining was fine.

I haven't had a period for 6 years. I'm almost 57. Did any of you get a period after this long? I have my surgery on Tuesday and my doctor didn't say anything about that. Nooooooo!!!!

I'm 58 and had period 2 times within first six months of surgery. Now over a year and no more. Thank goodness.

Well this is something new, haven't heard this before. Been post menopause for about 5 years. At least I won't be surprised or worried if I get one but hope not :/
