Question:
Do all women start their period after surgery, or just some?

Queston#2, I take effoxor time released, for prevention of migraine headaches, not depression. Does one need to go off effexor before sugery? I know there can be a lot of complications w/various meds, mixed w/ anastasia.    — Cindee A. (posted on March 5, 2001)

I got my period about 2.5 weeks after surgery; right on schedule.

The surgery causes many women to start their period immediately after surgery.

I got my period the day after surgery, but that is when it was due. It really wasn't that bad. None of the hospital staff even knew. Some things you keep to yourself and I didn't go announcing it. Good luck to you.

The surgery caused mine to start. Being morbidly obese had stopped me from having periods. I hadn't had one in a year. So when the trauma of the surgery made me start, it was very heavy and I bled for 2 weeks. Just a heads up on what you might expect. God bless you on this journey.

I didn't get my period for about two months after my surgery.

I was warned it may happen and I wasn't surprised it started that night after surgery. I'd had my period about a week before surgery so this was a double whammy. I've been told it has something to do with the blood thinners they inject into you.

Ask your surgeon about the Effexor. I got my period before being discharged from the hospital.
