LADIES - 1 week postop menstruation

[K80Liz 0]

I'm one week postop, and started my period - this caught me off guard because I just completed my cycle 4 days before surgery. So it's been about 2 weeks since the start of my last period.

I know surgery causes alot of stress on your body, I was just wondering if this could have something to do with it, or if anyone else has experienced this.

My periods can come on during times off stress. When my grand father passed away I had my period on and off for a month with 2 days break between. It's a normal way for your body to react to stress.

I wasnt due for 2 more weeks but just started when they removed my catheter on day 2 post op.

Happened to me too! I was so surprised. I'm on the pill, never skip, and it came out of nowhere. Doc said it's normal. Wish someone had warned me about it beforehand though, so I would have been a little more prepared haha.

I got it too. It was on time, but my periods never actually come on time, so I was surprised anyway I guess surgery does that!
