Cycle changes after surgery??

I've always had pretty consistent 32-35 days cycles.  Af came 2 weeks after surgery right on time and was normal.  (Huge cramps and all!!) NOW I'm on the forty fifth day and no sign of AF.  I did POAS... panicking because we've been extra careful to not get pregnant and it was negative.  (phew!!) Before having the surgery, I had read a lot of other PCOSers stories and it seems the norm is for cycles to become more regular. Anyone else experienced anything like this??

I am 3 years post op and mine did return to normal... HOWEVER... (and I dont say this happens to everyone) it then changed again and came on with a vengeance! I began to bleed so much I became anemic... couldn't take the iron pills and ended up having an infusion. Just recently I had a uterine cryoablation procedure to stop my bleeding. Its been 3 weeks and I am glad I had it done. I went from being morbidly obese with no period to loosing 165+lbs and having a regular period then having one that rarely stopped. It's been quite a journey

Hormones fluctuate widely after surgery...mostly because estrogen is stored in fat...and when fat reduces....it releases estrogen.  This can mess up cycles....if you hit 90 days...talk to your OB about a round of Provera to induce one to keep your risk of endometrial cancer low. Good luck! Kristy
