TMI question...
Being the curious person I am, I just ~have~ to ask this. WARNING! I know it maybe TMI (too much information) I had my period, ended the day before surgery and started again..2 1/2 weeks early. Now I do know that I have (pre-TT) "good" periods (where I feel better after starting..less bloating,etc), and "bad" periods (very light..and feel like crap until the next "good" period). This is a "good" one, but I have a lot of clots (could be from "back up"???) and cramping (haven't had cramping since in my teens).
Haha! I think i caught my physician off guard with questions about my cycle. he looked like he was was ready to take off running. LOL

The look on the (male) endocrinologist's and your husband's face when you describe your period clotting as "looking like liver and showed it to you husband"-PRICELESS
BAHAHAHAHA!

I have had over 14 surgeries/procedures, and I can tell you, the periods always come either early or heavier after them. I think it's got a lot to do with the anaesthetic and the shock to the body.
I do know the first thyroid surgery totally stuffed my cycle up, then the 6 months later having the total did it again! But like I said, I have had other surgeries too and each time has been interesting to say the least, female wise!

Ok! I knew I wasn't nuts. I was due for my period a few days after my lobectomy and it was like 7 days late. Even the nurse explained to me that it could have some affect on my menses. And when it came it was light with a few clots and moderate cramps. I have always had l like you mentioned "good" periods, but this one was definitely not what I was use to. I asked the doc, and he told me something in the female region was causing my problems not my thyroid. Well, I have scheduled my annual with my GYN, but I assure you that I was always like clock work and this time it was a bit off. Thyroid definitely the cause.
I didn't have a TT, but i did undergo a RAI and am now on levoxyl and MAN did it mess with my period!
