This is a distinctly female post!
I'll add that I was so so so glad I didn't have one for three months after surgery, because I had some complications. I ended up with very severe pneumonia and was in the hospital for three weeks. For part of that time I was in ICU on a ventilator. Since I was mostly out of it during that time, I guess I wouldn't have really noticed or cared if I'd had a period then, but it seems like it would have been messy and unpleasant to be on my period when I couldn't even get out of bed. I don't know why I went so long without one, because I'd been pretty regular in the past and am regular again now, but it all worked out well for me.

Mine was wonky for the first several months. Had several episodes of bleeding post-op due to the blood thinners given and it took a while to get back to normal (whatever that is, lol) and now it is every 32 days or so. But it took at least 3 months for that...maybe even 4.
