2 months out, still no period

[Sparkles2303]

Hi Dr. Walden!! Thanks for your time..

Tomorrow is my 2 month post op mark, and I still have not gotten a period. My last period ended the day before my surgery, July 22. I know the trauma from surgery and anesthesia can mess up your body and cycle, but is this normal? My period has NEVER been consistent and does tend to skip a month or two if I get very stressed out. Just a little concerned....I didn't think it would be 2 months. I feel completely normal, other than that. I am getting cramps - a couple times last week I Thought I was getting it, but still nothing.

Thanks again!

You are right that the physiologic stress of surgery and anesthesia can sometimes throw off our cycle, but if it's been 2 months and no sign of anything I would think about performing a pregnancy test to rule that out and possibly consulting with your Ob-Gyn.

Good luck!
Dr Walden
