Maybe tmi...changes in monthly cycle?

Hi there. I was wondering what people have experienced in their monthly cycle since having surgery. I tend to be fairly regular with timing each month, and how long it lasts, but I know a big reduction in caloric intake will definitely affect everything. Did you even get your period during the first month? Just curious about what to expect...thanks!

      Good question. I’d love to hear the answer. I’m not far enough out to know. I do know that they took me off my bc after surgery and I had the longest, heaviest flow that I’ve ever had! Ever! It was aw

      I'm 5 weeks out and haven't had a period since surgery. Fingers crossed that when it returns it will be business as usual.

    I didn’t have a period for over a year before my surgery. I had it two weeks after my surgery and I have not missed one ever since. At the age 30, for the first time I understand my cycle because in the past, it was too unpredictable. Now I have a 31 day cycle and it has not changed in the last year and a half.

    I've been on birth control pills for 6 years, so I have a very predictable cycle. Had surgery on 12/13 and am now 4 days late.
