1st period after tubal

Hey all -

I had my tubes tied on 4/5/04. There was some bleeding after that, like the dr said there would be....but my question is: Since I had had my last period a week or so before the surgery and some vaginal bleeding after, would I still get my period the same time as before? (I was supposed to start it 4/22 or 4/23)

Or since it would have been over a month since my last packet of pills (Was on BCPs before the procedure) would I resume my old cycle (which was waaay unregular - sometimes going three months without having one) I gave thought to the amount of stress in my life - no more than usual (Two kids = natural, organic stress)...I haven't gained any weight recently - in fact, I've been losing (Been on a diet - a healthy, dr approved one)

Any ideas as to what the deal is? Or is this a natural thing after the tubal?

Thanks for your help....

Hi im donna, welcome!

I’m glad your recovery is going well! I think the stress of your surgery and the fact that you were irregular before when cycling naturally could both be reasons that your period hasn’t arrived. If I were you I don’t think I would be concerned but you might want to bring your doc. up to date and ask what s/he thinks. Let us know what s/he says, ok?

Good luck
