Question for those who've had resections

[Guest guest]

I had my surgery on July 23rd. I've still not gotten a period since

then. I think the Lupron has been out of my system for a few weeks

now. I'm on cycle day 57. Last period was June 28.

How long after your surgery did your period arrive? The doctor told

me at my post-op visit to call if it hadn't started by the end of

August. I'm just curious what other ladies experiences were. And if

yours needed help starting back up, what did your doctor do? TIA!

I didn't have to take Lupron which may delay your cycle for a

while. My period came 3 days after surgery. Now this cycle has

been all screwy and I am actually on day 24 and finally ovulated. I

am waiting on my period, then I will have an HSG the week after and

hopefully get the all clear to ttc again.

Hi,

Were you on Lupron prior to surgery? When was your last injection? I was on the

BCP for 1.5 months before surgery to make sure my lining was thin. I was then on

hormone therapy post surgery to help with the prevention of scarring etc. My

period came on schedule but that could be because I am always pretty regular and

being on the hormones I think kinda forces the period to come.

I would call your doc now since it's approaching the end of August, something

doesn't sound quite right. You should have had a period by now.

Hi There,

My period started exactly 3 weeks after the resection, but I didn't

have to take estrogen. I normally have my period every 40-45 days

and this time my cycle was actually 35 days. In the past when I've

had trouble getting a period I've been prescribed prometrium and

another one that starts with a P that I'm drawing a blank on right

now. Good luck to you!

45 - 50 days, both times. The first time was because I was taking Premarin

after surgery, and Provera brought on a good period. The second time I had

no estrogen or Lupron, but my cycle was delayed anyhow. I took Provera

again, and I *ovulated* while I was taking it. Really atypical.

Sometimes just the shock of surgery can mess up a cycle or three, and of

course Lupron really does. You may have a massive period when it does

arrive. Good luck.
