Menstrual maddness!

Soooo I'm like 5 weeks post op from a sleeve but for the past two weeks I started cycle but has yet to end .... now I haven't had a cycle for years now (I have the iud) but since surgery I got my cycle and hasn't stop... I feel fine and it just like a light to medium flow like a normal one but it just hasn't completely stop. I wonder has any of these happen to any one or should I be concerned?

I am also 5 weeks out and just got my period again since the one a week after surgery. I AM ANNOYED. I also have an IUD. Luckily it is no where near as horrible as it was before the IUD....I had serious problems with cramps and always having a heavy flow. I think you better call your OBGYN and see what they have to say. That's no fun at all.

That's very common. I read somewhere that hormones get trapped in fat and as you lost the fat, the hormones get released. My cycle is all messed up. Some times I get it every other week, every two weeks, 1x a month, for 10 days, for 15 days etc.... it's all over the place. I'm on the nuva ring and am supposed to be able to stop my cycle at will, but that idea has gone out the window! On the bright side this means your losing fat. Yay, go you!

@@snowkitten thank you so the comment. That put me at ease now. It's like I'm on a never ending period on top of the 3 week stall I read so many people are having -_-. Lol the ultimate combo of horror :)

I have a nexplanon implant and I am messed up too...going on week 2 of my period. I am beyond annoyed!!!

@@cindyt ....Yea tell me about it ... my husband keeps asking if I'm off yet and I be telling him nope ... talk about major mood swings :#

I've had a period every couple of weeks since having my surgery in May. It's aggravating! Hoping it balances out eventually!

I guess this is now happening to me. I was sleeved June 12. I hadn't had a period in 5 years bc of depo and I've had an iud for 3 years. A week after surgery, I started spotting and now I'm having a full blown cycle. It is frustrating. I was worried something was wrong.

Annoyed at my gynecologist now. I called the office yesterday and the nurse said she'd have the doctor call me and she never did. Probably should just ride it out and pray I stabilize soon! 2.5 weeks now on my period!

I am the opposite for now. I got my period a week early when I started pre-op diet which was fantastic as I should have had my period during surgery which was on June 17th. NOW I was hoping my period would come back before I go away and there's no sign of it coming. No pms no cramps (which were horrible) NOTHING. I wasn't on any type of birth control as I wasn't active soooooo I don't know what's going on. I am thrilled of course but hope it doesn't make an appearance when I go to Florida.

So far it's been like a month now and the spotting has not stop -_- but slowly my weight stall has stop and getting back to losing weight

Had my surgery on 4/27 and had my period during preop diet. I am not on BC but my bf is fixed. Well...no period for 3 months! But, just started again yesterday on my flight back from Bahamas. My periods before we're always very heavy and lasted 7-10 days. This one seems lighter....hoping shorter too!!

Wow three months! I hope it stays away that long for me. Yes mines was also very heavy and lasted 5-7 days along with at least 3 days of horrible cramps. This remindes me of when I gave birth..... my aunt fliw was away for about 3 months and I was in heaven.

My question is from an old womans POV.

I am 52 and just entering menopause and it is now really a question of IF Aunt Flo and her rusty old red Cadillac is coming for a visit this month or not. I have had 1 since surgery but have had all the symptoms since Wednesday of last week. Bloating, constipation, cramping, mOoDiNeSs! I had started about 18mos ago skipping a month here or there, because I am menopausal now, and now I have no freaking clue - except that I cant eat CHOCOLATE!

sorry - ranting :/
