I have my first menstrual cycle after my surgery. Guys, I almost fainted. Between the heat, the cramps, feeling drained -it was bad. And to top it off the hormonal changes from the surgery and the menstrual emotional & mental symptoms? Shewwwwwww lol this is a doozy!

OMG my first period after surgery was horrible! The cramps were unbearable and sorry if this is TMI but it was heavy with a lot of clotting. Its gotten better every month since. I spoke to my surgeon and he did say it was normal for that to happen, I thought there was something wrong with me at first!! So just know you're not alone!!

Mine was also horrible. It was like a clotty Niagara falls. I was crampy, miserable, and bleeding through the super plus tampons. Gotta say...super glad I had a total hysterectomy recently lol

Oof, I've been going through some weirdness, too. I'm 4 months post-surgery and my premenstrual symptoms are SO different now. Some of my physical symptoms have been better (haven't had a premenstrual migraine!) but my emotional symptoms have been ... challenging. I'm hoping it levels out in the next few months! Take care!!

My first was fine physically, but hormonally / emotionally I was an absolute mess. My second was super late (46 or 47 days instead of my usual 28) and it was actually a bloody disaster. Luckily, it was the shortest period I've had since my early teens (4 days instead of 6-7), but I felt like all my usual symptoms were exacerbated and compressed into a shorter time frame.
