Has anyone had a irregular period before surgery and now after the surgery you're period doesnt seem to stop?

I have a long history of irregular periods. Ive lost over 50 pounds since my surgery in Dec and I hadnt had a period in a long time prior to the surgery. But now it doesnt seem to go away.

I had almost the exact same thing happen to me. My last period before surgery was 10/23. Had surgery 11/28. Finally got my period on 1/7 and bled pretty heavy for 18 days until 1/25! Went to the doctor and he said that it was most likely because I hadn't had it in a while so maybe I had a build up or something. He is sending me for bloodwork and an ultrasound next week. Possibly an endometrial biopsy as well just to rule out anything else going on. Good luck to you. Let me know how you're doing!

Before surgery I had terrible heavy irregular periods lasting 14 -21 days. I too had to have a endometrial biopsy, which came back normal. My GYN said that it was all weight related and after losing my first 50 lbs, they became more normal. Now after 100lbs loss I have a normal 28 day cycle, and periods lasting 6-7 days. I was told that estrogen gets stored in fat and that can cause all these issues.

Just wanted to say that I also had horrible, heavy and long periods up until recently. I would soak through a fem hygiene product- of the highest absorbency, within an hour. I finally had the nova sure procedure done. Totally changed everything! Now periods are super light and short. It was wonderful.

I have always had a irregular period and right before surgery and the IUD I hadnt had a period for eight months! Was diagnosed with Diabetes and the medicine Metformin also given to women to regulate they period made me have a regular menstraul! Now after surgery it has come on time but lasted from the 12th until 31soooo I dnt know if I can blame the surgery or this damn IUD because the doc says it can take up to 3 months for my body to get use to the IUD Wth! Has anyone else had this issue with the IUD?

Estrogen is stored in our fat cells. Rapid weight loss releases estrogen and thus the irregular periods.

For a year before surgery I had an IUD and my periods were pretty normal. They actually lasted about 4 days and were on the light side, but they would come on time every month. A month before surgery it was removed, I had it re-inserted a month after surgery and now my periods are extremely heavy the first 3 days and they come whenever. I just actually got mine yesterday and it was over a week late. Don't know whether it's the 100lbs weight loss and the hormones flooding my body or the IUD.
