Female Question - TMI

[tdhallnc 13]

Okay ladies, I have a female question for you. I have read some posts of ladies that had not had their periods for awhile prior to surgery but started them back up after their surgery. Has the opposite happened to anyone? I started my last period the day after surgery (2/19). I had it for 7 days but now I am 22 days late (and there is NO WAY I'm preggos). I'm only 40 years old so I hope that I'm not starting early menopause. Up until now, I have been pretty normal (been off birth control for over a year now). Anyone else had this happen? If so, how long until you started back up?

mine has been kinda weird too. one month I just spotted and then the next month the flood gates were opened. I think it's just our bodies adjusting

Hello, This happen to me as well. Two days after surgery I started mine. I had it for about five days.

I am on Seasonale, so I only get my period every three months anyway. When I was due for my first post-op period, it didn't come. I was terrified I was pregnant, because I'd read about how the surgery can make you more fertile and a lot of women get pregnant unexpectedly post-op. My husband and I even used back-up birth control for the first month or so post-op to be on the safe side. I ended up taking three pregnancy tests, all negative. I continued taking my pill and the next time I was due for my period, it came like normal.

I'm on depo and I haven't had a period in literally a decade. The week after surgery I had some spotting, which hasn't happened before or since. I imagine that the procedure can mess with your cycle in a variety of ways, so I doubt this is a matter of early menopause and much more your body adjusting to the trauma.
