I have heard alot of women have this happen to them. I was having trouble

with the stress of everything and my " Aunt Flo " was acting erratic as all get

out. I didn't even have a visit from her for four months. Of course she visited

this month whether I wanted her to or not. lol. But I was one of the lucky

ones. It didn't happen to me in the hospital.

Hi Crystal,

I'm new to the group but I had to respond to this one. I had heard this

from so many people before surgery and didn't really believe it, but guess

what? The day of surgery here it came and I wasn't due either. I've heard

this from almost everyone woman I know that still has them. Don't have any

idea why though. Strange huh?

I heard this a lot, too, but it did not happen to me. But since my

surgery 8/12/03 i have had 2 completely normal, almost pain free

cycles. What a huge difference from before when I literally went

into labor every month and had to take Toradol for the pain. It

would take me out of work for a day each time. NOT the way I choose

to spend my sick days! But since surgery it has really been a piece

of cake!

It happened to me. I had my regular one the week before surgery and then the

day I got out of the hospital I had it again.

Hi, mine was just the opposite. I was due for my period the day of surgery

and did not get it, only a tiny bit of dried spotting type blood. did not even

need a pad. so you never know...

Well guess who payed me a visit this morning..yeah you guessed

it " Aunt Flo " that ole devil. I knew it was bout time but I was

hoping that it wouldnt happen till after surgery...I could handle it

while in the hosp'l but now...ughhh...I ask the nurse that if my

monthly came if they would postpone or still do the surgery..she

said yes...Its not to the point that I dont mind it just so dmamn

embarrasing...i mean now a nurse will have to change me down

there...ill have to have a pad while in sugery and I found out hat I

will have a urine cathider the first day....YUCK!!!!.....I HATE

THIS...so what is a girl suppose to do in time like

this...absolutely NOTHIN!!!!!lol I guess I will just have to

get over it...its just a part of nature...

Oh ...

I am in a similar situation..

My auntie flo is due about Dec 3rd.... and I am going for my RNY on Dec 2!

I HATE urine cathiders.. When I had my son via c section.. some 100 year old

nurse comes in and

puts in the cath .. and forgets to close the foley bag...

Pee spilled all over... and she sayes .. " Opps.. I hate when that happens "

It is worse when it comes out.. because for the next few hours you have to feel

like you

need to pee.. but your " feeling " in the urethra is sorta numb.

As for the Nurse changing your pad.... I doubt very highly after surgery you

will care much.

And.... most likely you will never see that nurse again.. and if you do.. you

won't remember!

You will do just fine!!!

Peace,

K
