tiffy0485 123 Posted March 12, 2013 I don't know if I should be happy or sad that my monthly is 6 days late. I had surgery on 2/11 and lost a good amount, 31lbs to be exact. I figure it is the extreme amount of weight loss that has caused my hormones to go all Britney Spears on me. Did anyone have that issue with there first AF after surgery? The "B" is usually like clock work 27-29 days, never 34. I have been cramping for the past week but that's it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lucky8mb1 167 Posted March 12, 2013 Yes, I can't remember if it was one or two weeks late, but my first one was definitely late. Completely normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebthompson2010 126 Posted March 12, 2013 My first one was late after surgery but.... I found out I was pregnant. I am 7 mos post op and 7 mos pregnant. I got pregnant a week after surgery. I had an IUD and still ended up pregnant. I figured I was late because of surgery and the drastic changes my body was facing. Never even thought to take a pregnancy test until morning sickness began. I don't want to scare you, but if this keeps up please take a test to be sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TES 858 Posted March 12, 2013 Mine started early after surgery (which I guess is pretty common according to my PA), which isn't necessarily what I would have picked during the peak rehab time. My next one came exactly 28 days later and amazingly, the cramps aren't too bad (so relieved, since we have to stay off the NSAIDs for a while). I think our hormones do get all wonky from the fat burning and release of estrogen stores, plus the "trauma" to your body from the surgery. Hopefully things will even out for you soon!
