Period question (for the ladies) :-)

[mickeybeyes 60]

I started my period 2 days after surgery (it came a week early) and have had it for 14 days now. I am onbirth control and it lasts 6 days usually. Its not heavy, but its steady. DDoesn't look like the end is near. Anyone have similar issues or ideas?? Thanks.

Is your birth control New?

[JBooze1989 8]

I am having some different effects from my birth control. But I've had it/been on it even before my weight gain. I have implanon and have had it since August 2007. I have noticed on my big loss weeks I have stages of spotting and moodiness.

Now if your doctor has you on antibiotics or blood thinners is possible for your period to pop up irregularly and really it depends on the type of BC you use. Please make sure your staying hydrated. I would check with your doctor on an Iron supplement. 14days can put us banders at risk for anemia.

Hope this helps... Don't freak just chat with your doc or their med aide they will find the answers!

Surgery totally throws things off. Mine came early 2 days post op lasted a week, when it normally only last 3 days (not heavy, but there). After that I haven't had a period since. I am taking my BC and have gone and had preg test done. Doc said it's normal so I am taking his word for it. He even did an ultrasound to make sure everything looked ok.

Called my obgyn and they said not to worry. If it happens again then give them a call. I wonder when I should call them if it NEVER stops......lol!!

LOL! I'm glad you talked to your doctor. If its not better in a week I would suggest going into the office for an appointment.

I am not on the pill but my period was a bit wacky the few months after surgery too. It would come really late or be short. Now things are back to normal. All those meds and change of diet can mess with your hormones.

very true! I figured the surgery was to blame, but this is getting old quick.

Keep in mind you were very likely given antibiotics via IV during your surgery.

In other words, your pill is likely currently rendered useless, so be careful!

Mine came about a month after my surgery (it was a very long cycle) and lasted for at least 2 weeks, it sucked but now my cycle is getting a bit more regular.

I had my period had just ended before my surgery. Then I had my surgery it came back again for a few days.
