Irregular menstrual cycles



Recommended Posts

I'm a little over 8 months post op, I'm currently on the pill, but my cycles are still so irregular, its soo annoying! I used to be regular on time every month. Is anyone else going through something similar?

My surgeon said that it sometimes takes about 6 months to be regular again, but I'm well over 6 months now lol

I'm almost 8 months post-surgery. My first one after surgery was a week late. My third one after surgery was a week or so early. My most recent one was 8 days early.

I already have pretty short cycles (24 days) so this isn't great for me. I have a Paragard (non-hormonal) IUD.

I actually had my annual recently and will be going in for some further testing later this month to see if there's something going on. If they don't find anything, I'm going to have to go on hormones to help try and regulate things.

I am terrified what I will get... I have been irregular for years. I have a weight where I immediately go irregular and when I am under it I am regular. It scares me that I am going to be bombarded with them just to make up for it

I'm only about 10 days out. I am not liking the sound of this... Ah, well, such is life. I have PCOS, so this shouldn't be new to me, only that my symptoms were usually the absence of the period...

I was taken off the pill while in the hospital after surgery. I had an early pseudo period that week (I had just had my normal period a week and a half before surgery). I will be 8 weeks out on Monday and have yet to have my period. I am extremely nervous though because the whole reason I started the pill way back when is because I got such severe cramping that I will literally get sick and vomit every month.

My cycle was crazy for 6 mons. Got it 2 days post op & it was weeks early. Missed it for 2 months. Got it twice in one month. Got it bad for 2-3 months lasting for 5 days, pre-op normal for me was 2 days total. Didn't get back to normal until 6 mons post op.

      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.
