women only!!!! period problems
I am 13 months out and still haven't gotten one, so I don't think it is just a female problem.

I did not have one for three months after surgery. I think it was just due to hormones being messed up from surgery.

I had my surgery 2/24/2011, started my period March 9th, have been bleeding or spotting since. I am surprised my iron levels are not low,. I take 1 carbonyl a day. I must add that I had a Depo-Provera shot (bc) on March 10th, then an IUD inserted in May, however you would think by now the Depo would be out of my system being that they are an every 3 month shot. My GYN said it can stay in your system for 1 year... I had an IUD for 5 years, got it out in 2007 to have a baby. When I had the IUD before I didnt get periods, just spotting maybe for a day or two once a year or so. That part I loved! All I know is that this spotting is getting real old! Ask my husband..lol
