I have a question for the gals

Since my surgery (8/5/05) I have not had a period.

Anybody else have this happen?

Huh? What's the first day of your last period?

Don't freak out yet, because surgery is major trauma to your body, lack of calories and severe change in diet can all contriblute to whacking out your hormones. I have been regular as rain right through it, though. I just don't know...that's a long time for no period at all.

Sorry, my period started a few days after my surgery, and didn't stop until I had 2 sperate surgeries to stop it.

I don't know but is there any chance you are pregnant???

I was just stopping mine when I had surgery but I was 17 days late for my next one. I called the doctor but he said it was the stress to my body from surgery and the radical diet change. He said it was totally normal to get a little "messed up" on the cycle. He assured me it would get more regular. And it did, took about 3 cycles but it is all back to normal now.

Hi Kathy, I had my last period 2 weeks before surgery. I have always been regular.
It's like I feel the pains of period and it feels like I'm going to start, but nothing happens.

Laura....You don't say that! You hear me? That would be the weirdest thing ever!
I had my tubes tied 8 yrs ago after my youngest was born....but anything is possible I suppose....I'm 43yrs old though!
Well, my mother was almost 47 when she had me. She had 6 kids.... and then I was born 9 years after the 6th one unexpectedly.
Oh, this conversation is making me a bit nervous now.
I just visited my good friend a couple of days ago, who had just had a baby. She asked me if I would consider having another....
A couple of days ago I mentioned to my husband that I was seeing those brown spots on my face that really showed up when I was pregnant....
Just tonight my 13yr old asked me if I would/could have another baby...and he never has asked such a thing before?!?
Okay, that's it! I'm going to get a test kit tomorrow, eventhough I think it's just from the surgery.
Maybe the surgery made the tubal come loose or something....and I am pregnant??

Okay, if you are PG you are almost through your first trimester. Sounds off the wall but a cheapo PG test rules it out quickly. I'm sure it's surgery and diet change related...or pre-menopause? 43 isn't old but it's not too young for the beginnings of it all. Call the OB, time for a check up!! Let us know...one line or two...yes or no, + or -...I'm dyin' here!
