My period started as scheduled on January 8 but was very light (almost just spotting) all the way up to surgery, Jan 18. I continued to have some spotting while in the hospital but after I got home, Jan 20, it picked up and became a regular flow... and it is still going. I think it might be letting up ever so slightly. Hopefully it will stop at some point!
I was pretty regular.. every 28/30 days.. before surgery with the exception that I would miss a period occasionally. (Maybe 1-2 times a year). It generally would last anywhere from 5 to 8 days.
It seems to me that mine started going whacky with my preop liquid diet maybe.
Anywho.. I'm just glad to know that others are affected also,, even if it is in different ways.
Here's hoping we get back to "normal" soon! Personally, I'm tired of being on my period!
As if having major surgery wasn't enough to worry about!
