Don't be scared. Everyone is different. I only had problems after my surgery, but since you're already one month out you should be fine. I love my IUD and wish I had gotten it years ago.

Same situation here as well. I have Mirena. No period last 2 years and as soon as I had surgery started a period. Lasted 2 weeks. Stopped for a week and started up again. I’m so glad someone started this thread because I’ve been wondering as well!!! Also had a slight uti about a week ago. Feel better knowing it’s happening to others!!

Depo-Provera will make you can weight and stop you from losing weight it is not good for gastric bypass and the sleeve get off quick

Actually, I suffer from severe menstrual cramps, I been on every contraceptive, ring, and implant...and nothing works. My doctor didn't have a problem with it.

Doctors specifically told me that the surgery, I think specifically general anesthesia stuff, will interrupt the effectiveness of your birth control for a week out. They said it to me so many times. So that might be why??

I'm not on any birth control and my period still went wacky directly after surgery. My cycle came two weeks early (just days after surgery) and was heavy for about a week only for it to come back at it's normally scheduled time a week later. It took about 6 months for me to completely regulate but now 15 months post op my periods are the best they have ever been. I always suffered from long heavy erratic periods but now they are regular. My OBGYN said that it is 100% from the weight loss effecting hormones.
