When will my periods arrive?’

Post by Kayjayleo »

Hey all
I’m pretty sure I ovulated 10 days after my ep surgery.., which would make my periods die today but nothing?!? Anyone else ovulate this early after surgery? Or advice on when periods should arrive ?
Many thanks

Dear Kayjayleo,
Your periods can take a while to re-establish - they can re-start anything between two and ten weeks after surgery and most women find that their period arrives sometime around week six or seven after surgery.
The first period may be more painful or less so than usual, heavier or lighter, last for longer or shorter than usual – there really is no set pattern. You should be able to manage the discomfort with over-the-counter pain relief and should not be soaking a pad in less than an hour. If this is not the case, you should seek medical attention
Sending much love,
