Ladies-- help please!
I am 3 months post op, and since surgery my hormones are apparently out of control. A little history: I have only 1 ovary, no tubes thanks to cysts. My periods were horrible in high school and most of my adult life I have been on Depo or Aygestin to just completely stop my periods.
The meds I used pre-op don't seem to work anymore so my doc put me on a birthcontrol. The first didn't work (Ortho-Cyclen) and so I'm staring my second (Desogen). My periods are insane. I have bled more days than not in the last month. I am home now from work because they are so heavy I literally can not function unless I am close to a restroom. I think I took 6 showers over the weekend. (I'm trying not to be too graphic) I had to file FMLA today because I have lost so much work time. I am at my whits end. Someone please tell me I am not alone in this after surgery. I have spent most of the weekend just boohooing because of all of this. My doctor is usually open to any suggestions I can bring as far as medication goes. What has worked for you guys post-op? Has anyone dealt with this? I am at my whits end.

This is going to be a tuff issue. Rapid weightloss causes estrogen dumping because its stored in fat cells.
Your Dr needs to get you on some strong meds by the sound of it. Or possibly do a D&C.
