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. NOOOOOOOOO! Has this happened to anyone?

I am 54. Hadn't had a period in 8 months. Have had it twice since surgery 2 1/2 months ago. Hoping it goes away soon.

I am 51 and I haven't had a period since January. I had never heard of this! Well at least I know it could happen although I sincerely hope it doesn't!! Noooo!!!

I just turned 52 and haven't had a period in over a year...until yesterday. My surgery was 21 June, and I wasn't expecting this at all. Full-on cramps, etc. I sure hope it doesn't last long, but I have a lot of fat, so a lot of stored estrogen left. Ugh.

Oh geee wizzzz this is the first I've heard of this. I'm even more thankful for my hysterectomy now!!!

56 here was period free and had one right after surgery and then it went away

Saw my surgeon today...he said it's normal and we'll only take it to a GYN if it's irregular or persists more than 3 months.
