Menstrual cycle

[Wendy79 3]

I’m 30 weeks post op and my menstrual cycle has been very off. Is anyone else having the same problem?

I have been all over the place since surgery.

Estrogen is stored in your fat. As you lose weight, estrogen is released into your blood stream messing up your cycle. Not uncommon to have heavier/lighter periods, more or less frequent cycles, or experience more or fewer symptoms (cramping, emotions, etc.) You can also become more fertile. I was menopausal & my breakthrough hot flushes, night sweats etc. disappeared whoo hoo - they came back though unfortunately.

It usually settles once you’ve lost most of your weight. If it persists chat with your doctor & ask for your hormone levels to be checked.
