It is normal for a surgery to mess with a period - the same thing happened with my knee surgery last May.

- I have taken Progesterone to start a period (I hadnt had one in three months and the hormonal tensions was killing me) and to stop one. It is bloody damn expensive - but if you are young I would recommend taking half of the recommended dose. The stuff is usually used for women in their fourties to deal with weird symptoms of menopause.


I had to do this because Iwas put on Ortho - (Tri cyclen) when I was 15 -to regulate, not because of sexual activity - and I don't care what they tell me from the medical side, I know it messed with my hormonal development. It got to the point where I was very depressed and had mood swings to the point at which I didn't even recognise myself (personality) It took nearly a year for me to be able to have a regular period - I had that much of an imbalance. As it stands I won't go back on the pill till I become sexually active (married for me) - and even then - I have contemplated having and instertable or a DUI or something.

But I am a walking horror story for the pill. Lots of people deal well with it.

Suggestions: Iron supplements will help - you will notice the difference within 2 days (energy wise) - A decafinated green or chamomile tea will help with feelings of tension or stress in the morning. Also - getting exactly 8 hours of sleep or even a little less - and at the same time every night - will do wonders.

If anyone wants my complete pill horror story just PM me :P
