Re: Septum resection cause of late menstrual cycle????

[Guest guest]

Hi t,

Yes my cycle was long after surgery. My doctor said that is completely normal. I

usually ovulate between cd 12-14, after surgery it wasn't until after cd 16

making my cycle longer. So don't worry too much about the longer cycle.

Hope that helps.

Hey t, I was resected 11-1-04, and am also taking estradiol. My

cycle was 29 days, when it is usually 25. I also have noticed my

period is lasting quite a bit longer, with a lot heavier flow, and

some pretty painful cramps. I used to only get cramps the first day

of my cycle, but these are every day and very painful, a different

kind of pain than my old cramps. I also have an IUD though, and am

wondering if that might be affecting things. I can't wait to get it

out (12-7) and be off the estradiol (Wed). I just want everything to

go back to normal. And I can't wait to TTC again. The whole process

took so long (my loss was in April). Well, hope things get back to

normal soon for you too.

Hi,

Yes, it is quite common for your cycle to be affected by the

surgery. A lot of women have reported longer cycles. I think that

the estradiol is also prolonging it. If my understanding is correct,

your period can't come until the estrogen level goes down. In

a " normal or unmedicated cycle " your estrogen would dip down as the

progesterone rises and then AF would come. Is your dr having you

take the progesterone to bring on af? or will you just finish taking

the estradiol and wait for your estrogen level to drop on its own and

bring on af?

With my first resection I took 30 days of estradiol and during the

last 5 I took prgesterone along with the estradiol. AF came 2 days

after stopping. After my 2nd resection my dr did not prescribe any

hormones and my cycle was actually shorter than normal!

It has also been comonly talked about here that the cycle or two

after a resection are much heavier than normal. This is ESPECIALLY

true if you are taking hormones b/c the hormones build up your

uterine lining more than you would on your own.

Sounds like you are right on track. Happy healing!

Thanks to everyone who responded.

Am really looking forward to a heavier than normal period (not). Am

taking only estradiol; no progesterone supplementation and am totally

off birth control. Interesting that some docs are giving

progesterone with estradiol at the end of the estradiol script.
