I don't get a period because i take the depo shot. I'm 14 days post rny and I've had a full blown period for the past 6 days. Is this normal or should i contact one of my physicians?

It's normal. The surgery messes with our hormones big time. Some people who just had theirs, will get it right after surgery again. It is very normal for the surgery to jump start your period. And it might be wonky for a few months because of all the hormones that are being released as you are losing fat. It will go back to normal again.

It seems to be normal. I was practically menopausal and my period came back with a vengeance 3 months after my RNY. It lasted 6 weeks and I was worried about becoming anemic so I went to my GYN. She put me on Progesterone to even out my hormones and that took care of it for me.

Totally normal. I wasn't having periods because I had endometrial ablation. But ever since surgery I've had very regular periods every single month [emoji22].

About 6 weeks post op I got one of the heaviest and longest periods of my life. I agree...the hormone changes after surgery mix this stuff up. Make sure you take your vitamins with iron and stay hydrated

I'm 5 weeks post-op and totally thought something was wrong with me! The day after my surgery, I got my period 2 weeks before I was due and it was the heaviest I've ever had and lasted about 9 days! It turns out this isn't strange, it just doesn't happen to every woman who has surgery.

I take a continuous pill and don't get my period but post op I got it for about 4.5weeks. It sucked but I'm back to normal now. Hormones.

Totally normal. I had light spotting the first few months, then month four I had a full blown not fun period. glad to hear it will go back to normal.

I still haven't got my period I'll be a month post on August 27th... I'm not sexually active at all and I never had any vaginal issues but for the first time in my 29 years I got a yeast infection and it's been hell trying to get rid of it idk if it's because of the surgery or not

It's normal. I'm on the same shot. Didn't get periods pre-op. Now, I spot for a few days. Usually. The longest it went on for was two weeks. I'm hoping this shot will stop all the bleeding again because I want nothing to do with the pain I would get before I even started getting the shot.
