Ladies this is a little tmi but is it normal to get a period 3 days after surgery? I haven't gotten a heavy period in about 2 months now.

It started Monday just spotting but yesterday and today it's super heavy. Help!?

I read a lot of things pre-op that indicated that it is very probable to have a period immediately after the surgery.

I had my surgery in a Monday and got my period on Thursday. Ughh. Didn't make things easier, that's for sure!!

Yep, I hadn't had my period for years bc I had the Nexplanon implant.. and mine came with VENGEANCE 4 days after my surgery!

I had one about 2 weeks post-op - I guess it's our hormones being thrown for a loop!

It's normal I got one about 5 days after and it's been 4 years for me

I'm day 6 post op, and I just started my period yesterday. I always get a little warning, light one day, then a couple heavy days. But yesterday was full force heavy period! Just want we all want right after surgery......

I had a super wicked period during and after surgery for about 10 days. I think it was all the IV fluids because I was a waterfall (TMI). It was super hard because in recovery I had to change pads constantly, then after I left the hospital I recovered on my couch, I had to put a towel down to make sure I didn't stain it! I've never been able to keep up with my Water intake, so I think with all the influx of iv fluids my body just went to town and did a uterine self clean lol.

Period is your uterus's way of saying " we are not getting pregnant this month". When your body goes through the trauma of surgery, regardless of which phase it's on, it shakes its head and says "na, it's not happening".

I also started my period 3 days in and I wasn't supposed to start for another two weeks. Keep taking Gas-x and sipping on Water as much as you can. There's so much going on around my tummy so I haven't felt any cramps yet! Or I am but the gas pain is more intense.

Same here, i started nornal time but it was really heavy. I was 3 weeks post op so the cramps and bloating sucked.

I had the same thing happen! Started my period before I left the hospital and it was a heavy one! Worst timing possible because it's not easy to take care of
