For the women...Irregular cycles?

I am wondering if anyone has had irregular menstrual cycles since surgery? I have been irregular for most of my life, but I was told it was due to my weight....I am wondering if this is something I should be concerned about post surgery. I have been pretty regular since I had surgery, but I skipped January and I had one in early February and now I am spotting. Is this normal? Thanks for your responses!!! Hugs, Sara 356/276/175

Yes I have had irregular cycles since I can remember. I would go months without one and then all of a sudden I would have one. I didn't have one for about 6 months and the day before my surgery I started....talk about being mad. I started having cycles every month until December. I didn't have one in January and then about the 12 of this month I started spotting just like you are. I also want to know if this is normal. Sorry about not being any help I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I was also told that it was weight related so I don't know what to think now. Well anyway congradulations on the weight loss!!!!! Mary

Thanks for responding Mary...it does help to know I am not alone!!!! Also thanks for the conrgats on the weightloss I am gonna go to the doctor as soon as I can, but I just stated a new job this past Monday, so I have to wait until she has an available evening appointment. Thanks again! Hugs, Sara 356/276/175

You are welcome.......yes I think you should go to the Dr. and let me know what she tells you. I also started a new job this past Monday.....I wish you the best and hope to hear from you soon. Mary

Sara- I was regular for 10 years (9yrs old-19 yrs old) and then became irregular when I started putting on weight. I had to take medicine to even have a period which of course I didn't do so I would go several years without a period. I might spot some, but that was it. I had spotting about two weeks after surgery and then in late November...BOOM! It hit me BIG TIME!!! I had a very heavy period but it lasted exactly 5 days like it used to when I was regular. In December I had another one right on time that was heavy a few days but nothing like November. I had another one in January so I am now convinced that I am back to normal. It may be that your body is trying to regulate itself, but the doctor can give you pills to make you start. I was warned by my doctor that you can end up bleeding and having to have a D&C to stop it if you go too long without a period. I would see your doctor but I don't think what you're experiencing is anything to be too concerned about. Good Luck! Natalie 281/199/125
