period twice in one month i am abt seven weeks post op. june eight and june 29 period. my left side ley me know spmeyhing was up.it hurt like hell...my side i mean. normally legs hurt a little...but this is new.always had regular period.nausea and discomfort intense as well.been in bed..i feel not so good..is this normal?they remind me of teenage years when i first got one..dr appt tomorrow but would like to hear from u guys...

Hmm... I don't have any experience with that. They did ask me to go off of my birth control 2 weeks prior to surgery to help minimize risk of blood clotting? Did you have to do the same? I'd think going off birth control could mess with regularity.

hi hi!!! So my period after surgery has been something out of a terror movie. I have had 3 since surgery and all are bad.....

Cramps = bad. Amount = bad...

My surgeon said this is normal (to have an abnormal cycle). He said - they are not sure why but after surgery our periods go out of wack - probably due to hormones in flux.

I have taken to the following routine.

1) when cramps are really bad - I got for a walk. The exercise helps.

2) if I cannot walk - take lots of Motrin.

3) take Iron during the periods

And each period - I pray this will get better soon. Good luck....

My period started the day of surgery and didn't stop until 3 weeks after. Never severe, just constant spotting. When I spoke to my surgeon about it, he said it was usual. As women, when we lose weight rapidly it releases estrogen that was stored in our fat. That's what causes our cycles to go all wacky.
