NO PERIOD AFTER FIBROID SURGERY! PLEASE HELP!

Hello all,

Were any of you able to conceive after the surgery? I had an open myomectomy in June 2020 and had several fibroids removed. I was on pills to decrease the bleeding before the surgery and up to 3 months post op. To this day I have not had a period but like many of you I have had cramps and other symptoms that make me feel that one is coming, I get light spotting for a day or 2 but thats it. I am 39 and don't have children as yet which is why I did the surgery. I am on birth control pills but a low dose, have been on it for years. My gyn who was part of the surgical team is not concerned but I very much am. I now have arm numbness and very bad flatulence and my stool has not returned to normal, it is very diarrhea like.. My surgery was botched,, they left a sponge inside so I had to go back to the OR in the same week after they figured out what was wrong.. It will be depressing if I am not able to conceive after all that.

Hello All!

I am adding to this threat as I am also in the same boat of not getting a cycle since my myomectomy hysteroscopy on 26cm submicousal fibroid in my uterine wall. It has been 6 weeks since surgery, only bled two days after surgery for half a day-no pain.

I spent the last 4 years in agony during my periods which came every 10 -15 days and lasted at some points for 7-10 days! Due to heavy periods, I became anemic and needed iron iv drops 3 times! Lost weight ans I was on all kinds of period stopping pills all that time! It has harsh times!

Married for almost 4 years now, we struggled with fertility. My gyno did IUI for us and it didnt work! Then we went to a fertility clinic and in the initial process the doctor told me I need to remove the fibroid if we wanted a successful pregnancy! Besides that my AMH is super low and my progesterone is super high- both are bad!

I removed the fibroid to have a baby but also for my general health and well being! I wish the people who started this threat could update us on if the period finally came and if they got pregnant etc. I will update yall on my progress in the hopes that it might help others. I pray for all of you moms-to-be.

hi how are me to i had my surgery almost 2 years again and i never had my period after that

Hi Tezi

Believe me I feel your pain and anxiety. I had an open myomectomy on the 27th May 21, removed 27 fibroids. Following surgery I bleed for approx. 2 weeks and just had a period on the 9th July. Was super nervous because I thought I had gone in to menopause. Prior to surgery, i was advised that I entered early menopause a few years ago 😦. I am 39 and still hoping to become a mum one day. Please don't be discouraged, your body is still repairing after such a trauma. I came on this thread because I had a mini breakdown on day 2 of my period because it was so heavy, which I didn't expect at all. Has anyone else experienced this?

Please can others share their pregnancy stories following their myomectomy

Thank you xoxo

Hi All, I also lost my period after open myomectomy. I havent had a period in a year but still get all of the symptoms without any bleeding.

My doctor's recently figured out whats going on so I thought I'd share in case it brings anyone else any clarity.

It seems I have cervical stenosis, where the cervix narrows or gets completely blocked, in my case by scar tissue. I had a hysteroscopy to correct this but the scar tissue and stenosis came back. They think they can put a stent in to stop the scar tissue from sealing my cervix again but I may need regular dialations to keep it open. Not ideal but its nice to know why I lost my period after surgery and also nice to know that its still possible to have children, even if its a bit more difficult.

Hope this helps.

I'm having the same problem, but I'm assuming it's all the pain medications and antibiotics I took after my surgery that threw my circle off. I had surgery in June. myomectomy, and I was already having periods during surgery. and since than I haven't gotten one. n I'm having cramps 😫. but im hoping it will show up.some medications can actually stop you periods for some time. my doctor said if it doesn't come by September, to call him. but im not panicking cus I knw pain medication does that to me sometimes.

i don't wanna scare anyone but no period or a very light one can mean intrauterine adhesions aka scar tissue in the uterus formed after the surgery. it's called asherman's syndrome and it can affect fertility. i had a laparoscopic myomectomy 2 months ago and also dealing with very light period. unfortunately this condition can't be seen on ultrasound but is only diagnosed with a hysteroscopy. i haven't had one yet but will be getting one. i'm feeling so hopeless right now. i thought this fibroid nightmare would be over once i get the surgery but now i may have this new condition which is even worse regarding fertility.

hope y'all are doing well and got your normal flow back by now.
