female only Cycle Changes & Pcos?

[shrinkingDEE 60]

I stopped having regular menstrual cycles at around the age of 15. Since then I would get my period maybe 3-4 times a year and it would last about a day or so. Over time it slowed down more and more up until I would last years without a period. (I had an IUD put in last year and before that my last period was almost 2 years past)

After surgery (now 6 weeks post op) I've been spotting on and off. I wonder if it's because of the hormones and changes in the way my body now balances things or is it just due to the weight loss??

I know the surgery through me off. I didn't have PCOS but was regular prior to. I was due the day after my surgery on 7/11 and haven't had it or any signs of my cycle yet. At my age, no more kids for me but, wouldn't mind if the cycle stayed away LOL.

I was on BCP and the day after my surgery my cycles started and pretty much refused to go away. Finally got NuvaRing and it's getting back to normal.

I started my cycle (early) right after surgery- Dr said it because they give me anti blood clot shots and it thinned my blood, or something like that. I had it for 12 days!

I always had heavy bleeding but this month it's out of control. I better make that call to have the nuvasure done. Maybe this period night mare will disappear ir get lighter. I'll take either of them.

I got my period the day of my surgery late at night. Was also told it was due to the anticoagulant shots. I have Pecos and was always irregular. I have the mirena IUD and have not had a period in a long time. But now 28 days after my surgery and starting my last period, I get my period again! Ugh!

I got the mirena 6 weeks before surgery, and I still have my period. I can't wait for it to disappear!

Oh wow! That's a long time. I've had mine in for 2 years and only use to have occasional spotting once in a blue moon up until my surgery. You should call your doctor who inserted the mirena to see if they can give you something to stop your period. I don't think it's normal to last that long. Good luck!

3 months is a long time? I thought it would take at least 6 for it to go.away. I'll call this week!
