I'm not too far postop, but I've noticed that the two periods I've had since surgery were miraculously on time. I have another one due in 8 days so I'm eager to see if it arrives on time.

I have had a period for every cycle since the surgery which was 11 months ago. I recently came back from a vacation in a third world country where I had no access to meat, protein shakes or a scale and I have lost 5 pounds instead of gaining which I was afraid was going to be the result of it. I am 5 pounds away from my goal weight.


I have pcos and having surgery on Tuesday - looking forward to regular periods! [emoji12]

Wow! That is awesome! Congratulations! I'm so excited. Right now I'm taking a medication to come on my period. I haven't had the surgery yet but I will this year. I'm still in the beginning phase of going to classes and seminars and all that good stuff!

Oh yay for you! I haven't had the surgery yet. I'm still in the beginning.


I also forgot to mention that prior to the surgery, I have gone without a period for over a year at times. I am in my 20s. Best decision, EVER.


Yeah had that happen too but I'm thankful I don't really have pcos symptoms apart form a beard!

Have discovered tho that if you have PCOS - don't get the Impanon nexplanon implant as it does weird with bleeding.

Yeeesssss me tooooo! I've gone years without having it too. Scary thing. People always say "oh lucky you for not having a period" and I say lucky you for having one because it's abnormal not to have one and can cause many problems.
