I'm not sure about being late with a period. I think having this radical, major surgery does weird things to your body. I've been on Depo Provera injections for three years and for three years have not had a period. It was wonderful. I had surgery on 9-17-01 and started a period the end of September. Very discouraging. Give your OB/GYN a call if you feel this is abnormal. Good luck! :-)

I was late after surgery too...I was told that this is common and not to worry about it. Good luck!

Being late after a major surgery isn't very uncommon.. BUT.. why not take a home pregnancy test (if you have been "exposed" that is)? If by any chance you are pregnant, you will need to get yourself to the OB post-haste to insure good health.
