tmi girly stuff

I have been having an issue for awhile now... I have pcos and it is nothing for me to go 6 months with out a period.  I have read that stress from having surgery can bring on a period... My issue is that I have been spotting on and off for over 2 weeks now.  It is driving me nuts!

Anyone else have this issue?

Hi Michelle,

I also have PCOS but the period is also very stress related. Mine was always like clockwork, but I had a surgery couple of years ago and didn't have a period for 3 months and then had two 2 weeks apart. Don't worry about this too much

Remember that you'll also be getting a release of hormones stored in the fat you're losing, if what I've read is correct. So, that could certainly affect things...

Hi Michelle, I have PCOS and every time I go super low carb I have mild bleeding pretty much continually until I up my carbs to a certain point.  Really really annoying but  I have heard on this forum many people who do not have PCOS have unusual stuff happen with their periods after surgery, so I think it is nothing to worry about. My endo told me that the bleeding was a good sign because it meant my body was releasing fat and hormones - yay!  Still sucks though.  Call your bariatric centre if you are concerned, maybe they can advise if anything can be done.

I have pros as well  I had surgery end of September and for most of October I spotted.  I stopped for about two weeks then spotted again.  I just started for December, tmi I know sorry, but did t have the spotting this month.  I am not sure what point you are at, pre or post surgery, but the hormonal change can mess with things, plus I heard the anesthetic can cause problems with your cycle as well

Thanks guys!!

Nice to know I am not the only one.
