Hi ladies,

Sorry for the TMI but my monthly friend has always come every 28 days. Well I am 2 days late. And...sexually active. I am assuming my body is just out of whack, being 28 days post op. A friend from my support group said her first period after surgery was late. Is this normal? Did it happen to you? Did it forever affect your regularity or just initially? Thanks for any advice!

If I remember correctly mine came just a day after surgery, but then skipped a month and returned. As I've lost weight mine has been on time and has even become lighter.

Anesthesia can definitely mess with it. I have had a few surgeries in my life and know that this can happen.

I did not have a period for three months after surgery. Then they were irregular for the first year or so.

I'M A BOY AND I SNUCK INTO THIS POST!!!

Sorry. I couldn't help but chime in.

I don't know the details, but my Sis-In-Law did mention, before I had my surgery, that her monthly visitor was very infrequent and undependable for months following surgery.

Obviously, everyone is different....but for some reason that stuck with me, so I thought I'd throw it out there, if it helps.

For the first time in my life, mine is a week late. I'm wondering if I will skip this month...but I've got awful PMS symptoms.

I came on the day after surgery and it lasted 7 days. So imagine dealing with my visitor and pain at the same time. Now my visitor is now back on track. It was wacky for a few months though.
