Sorry guys, this one's for the girls!!!! Has your period stopped since surgery? My surgery was April 16th, so that was 5 weeks ago, and flo should be here by now? Anyone else experiencing this?

My problem is the opposite. I have had two periods in five weeks and both lasted three times as long as normal.

Granted I was more like every 5-6 weeks the last few years and only a day at a time...........but this stuff is crazy!!

I heard that your cycle gets all messed up after surgery and this is normal. Not normal for me, but maybe this is my "new" normal.

I think surgery messes up our bodies

Didn't mess a thing up for me. Perhaps you should see your doctor. I know that anesthesia can really mess up your whole body so I guess anything is possible.

I had my surgery on April 16th and started my cycle shortly after that and this month right on time as usual. Usually I get mine about every 28 days so no change for me at all.

i hear you,i did not get mine last month at all. so far i have not seen this month.it suits me just fine.

Your cycle can get messed up from surgery and weight changes... if there is any doubt, I'd get a pregnancy test though...

Mine skipped for 6 weeks after surgery. I started to worry and saw my doctor who told me that after surgery, periods often get screwed up, coming either early or late. Sometimes you skip a month or two until everything gets back to normal.

Wait a few more weeks and see what happens. If you think you have missed two in a row, or 8+weeks, definitely get checked out.

I had surgery in February and I have yet to have a normal cycle. My doctor said this is normal after a surgery like that!

Hi Just a little advice sometimes when diet is reduced it is a normal reaction for the Body to shut Down menstruation, when you get back onto solids it may well start up again, are you drinking enough?? this may help!!!

I actually had dysmenseria (technical term for a screwed up period) BEFORE my surgery. Fat can actually secrete estrogen and mess up your cycle. I went 6 months one time without getting my period, then when I started exercising and eating right it finally came.

On the other side of things, eating too little can mess up your cycle as well. When your body is not getting enough nutrients, one of the first things it stops giving energy to is reproduction since it is not a part of your physiology that is necessary for life. Immediately after surgery we are eating very small amts and not getting in enough Protein. It's not surprising that your period would be late. Of course if you have had sex anytime since your last period I would still highly recommend a pregnancy check since that can't be completely ruled out.

I had surgery on April 9th and should have started that weekend. I didn't start until the 23rd. Spoke with my surgeon and my primary doctor and both said that after surgery and with the only having liquids, etc, it's normal for that to happen. Like other said, give it a little more time then check with a doc.
