Period is worse post op :( this sucks

[mariamitani 405]

Has anyone noticed that their period symptoms have gotten worse post op? I have been on my couch for 2 days in a row badly fatigued, tired, out of breath when I stand up, and dizzy. I increased fluids ,took Iron supplements and ate really good. Today I feel allot better day 6 of it. But my anxiety levels are higher than normal it just really sucks!!!. My last period lasted 9 days so I'm not sure how long this one will. I hate it wish I was a guy. I exercised today so I hope that will help with the hormones going wacky.

My first one after surgery was brutal. But, the second one was much better and less days. I think as our bodies get over the trauma and regulate (the hormones), it will be better. Hang in there:)

That happened to me too... after 2 days of surgery I had my period. It lasted 9 days!! I'm so irregular... does it get fixed with the weight lost?

Same here!!! I never have cramps or even a flow (have iud) but i do now!! I hope it goes away fast. I am not used to this and do not like it!!!

Same here. I got mine a week early and I'm an emotional mess. It's heavier and longer than normal. So tired and drained over little movement. Boo.

I had an ablation so I don't get a period minus a strange 6 week stink back over christmas. That being said, I like to call it my virtual period because I still go through the bloating, exhaustion, PMS, etc. I've noticed for a week now I'm more swollen, very moody and irritable, incredibly tired, face breaking out, thinking about sugar (not given in) ... and I'm wondering if I'm on a long period like others describe.

I'm 5 months post op and have yet to get my period. Is this normal?

My PMS were a lot worse. Severe back pain, sore boobs, cramps and headaches. It lasted for a few days then I got my period which was a lot heavier than usual. I also got hungrier, craved chocolate too. Just the usual but probably 5 times worse than pre op.

Omg! Thank you all for posting this topic. I was beginning to think I was losing my mind. I have had my period for 10 days now.

Mine to but I'm not sure what's causing it. I had a csection in September, wls in November and an IUD put in in January! I PMS for a full week before my period. I'm 8 months out on July 3rd and my actual period is finally getting normal, it's just the PMSing that's horrible - cramping, hunger, cranky and exhausted!
