Missed Period after surgery?!



Recommended Posts

I am going absolutely nuts here as I have never, ever missed a period EVER-unless I was pregnant. I have only one fallopian tube, and it was tied ten years ago. My hormone levels are normal, Iron normal-bloodwork PERFECT-just saw my doc yesterday as I had this done post-op just to make sure I was ok.

So LMP was December 14th...It is now January 19th and I am typically on a 30-32 day cycle at most. I had a normal period the month of my surgery and also afterwards.

I FEEL like I am going to get it...all the bells and whistles...hormones raging, nausea, sore back, headache, some cramping...for the last two weeks.

But nothing.

So, a: is it normal to not get a period after surgery?

b: What are the frigging odds I got pregnant??!!! I am six days late.

Surgery messed with mine. I had one *immediately* following surgery (2 weeks after my last). Then nothing for over a month, then a normal, then a super light... you get the picture. Between the surgery and the weight loss, nothing in that department is normal any more. =\

I am getting sleeved on Jan 23rd. In our Dr s program we are told to use double contraception after the sleeve until we can go back on our pill or IUD or more permanent form of birth control because weight loss fast like this makes us extra fertile. I hope it is just your hormones out of whack from the surgery.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
