Did surgery change your cycle?

Question

I recently underwent endometriosis excision and have started my first full cycle post op. I'm curious as to how/if this will change my cycle. Any experience out there?

Answer

I conceived in the first cycle after having my endo layered and ovaries drilled. Sadly my son was stillborn when he was 10 days over due so I am trying again but have only had three periods in the last year. They are getting lighter so I think the endometriosis is back. It tends to be dormant during pregnancy.  The first one after surgery was heavier but I don't have much else to go by!

Answer

It certainly can. Any kind of physical stress can throw off your cycle. You will have to wait and see the difference it makes - if any.
