Return of periods.



Recommended Posts

Ok, so my surgeon says that in some cases postmenopausal women have their periods come back since hormones are stored in fat and the rapid weight loss cause hormones to be dumped into the system. :blink: NOOOOOOOOO! Has this happened to anyone?

Am post menopausal - 10 yrs +. Out of the blue I nad a menstual cycle about six weeks prior to surgery, and another as soon as I got home from the hospital. Nothing since (fingers crossed). I had an ultrasound, but gun said uterine lining was fine.

My surgery was in February. Out of the blue I had a period in January. None since then. I hope it won't come back!

I haven't had a period for 6 years. I'm almost 57. Did any of you get a period after this long? I have my surgery on Tuesday and my doctor didn't say anything about that. Nooooooo!!!!
