wwled 38 Posted May 17, 2014 My period was never very regular before surgery, but it been 3 months and I'm down 45. I would have thought I would at least get one period by now? Anyone have any ideas or words if wisdom? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LumpySpacePrincess 594 Posted May 17, 2014 It can take awhile for hormones to regulate, especially if your period was erratic before surgery. You can talk to your OB/GYN about putting you on the pill which will give you a regular period. 1 Comfy_Blue reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Comfy_Blue 285 Posted May 17, 2014 I agree with LSP about talking to your gyno and possibly considering birth control. (Personally I don't like BC because it makes me dry down there and lowers my libido from medium to zlich, but everyone's body is different) I was sleeved in December and didn't start having regular periods until around April, so what's that, like 4 months? Prior to becoming morbidly obese, my periods were fickle. For instance, sometimes it'd be 28 days between, sometimes as much as 40 days. When I was under stress, I could miss my period for months. Like when I was 17, I did a study abroad for three months and though I was a virgin (so no chance of pregnancy) I didn't have a period the entire time. As soon as I got home, my period came on the next day. 2 BabySheldon and LumpySpacePrincess reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wwled 38 Posted May 17, 2014 I used to be on birth control to regulate them. When on it, they were always regular, once a month. Without it, I was lucky if I had two periods a year. I'll have to get back on it. I no longer have insurance, so seeing my old OB will be a bank breaker :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have nurses that work their and you can get birth control on a sliding scale based on your income. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MIMamaof2 30 Posted May 17, 2014 Consider yourself lucky! I had an 8 week period post op. It stopped, I took 4 weeks off and then had another one. I would definitely get with your gyno though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
