female only 3 months since surgery and still NO period

I'm not preggo,,, where is my period?!?!?! It's getting expensive taking all these pregnancy tests to put my mind at ease. I know alot of you said you didn't get your monthly visitor for 1-2 months after surgery but it's been 3 months and I want it to come back so I can quit worrying about it!!!!

Lucky you...i got mine about a week after surgery. BLEH But i understand the worry part of it.

Laura-

I went three months, so please don't worry!! My period was due a few days after my surgery and never came. My surgery was 9/16, and I got my period 11/22, so considering I was due when I had surgery, it was a three month wait.

The bad news is that when I finally got it, it was a DOOZY. The good news is that it is almost exactly one month later, and I am regular again.

Hi, I had my surgery in Feb and didn't get a period until June, so it is very normal for you to miss a few. You will be fine. :eek:

Anyone know why some women miss their period after surgery?

It's not only surgery but weight loss itself that can stop your periods. If you're sure you're not pregnant, enjoy the break! Unless you feel horribly premenstrual the whole time, lol. 3 months of zits and sore boobs wouldnt be much fun.

I think weightloss wreaks havoc on your hormones. I got banded at the end of Oct, and I kid you not, I have had 4 or 5 complete periods since then (Believe me, I'm not gloating). I just think the changes, "trauma" and dietary differences our bodies are going through makes your whole cycle freak out! If the test says your not, then you're not -- try to relax. Maybe if you don't get it by the beginning of the new year, your Doc could put you on a quick cycle of progesterone to bump you up.....It will come (then you'll wish it didn't) :eek:

Our bodies are something else! I didn't have a period, before banding, without progesterone pills. After banding, I get a monthly period, without the progesterone! Hmmm. Shawn

I have a irregular period since I got banded on 9/8/05. I am on birthcontrol and it should be regular but since surgery it is not.

Wow.....I had my surgery 12/19, expected my cycle on 12/26. Negative PT. I'm concerned!

Im not banded yet, getting banded Jan 30. As of right now, I have had my period, on and off since OCTOBER 20. So if after surgery I don't have it for a few months, thats good enough for me!!
