Sterilisation and periods

5 replies

Hi All, I was sterilised after my 3rd baby at 28 last year. I have noticed that my periods are getting further and further apart. I go 45 days average between them but this month it's been 52 days since my last one. In the aftercare book it said my periods will be normal as it's non hormonal so I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this? I have always had normal periods before being sterilised aswell and I mean I'm not complaining but is it something I should mention to my Dr?

How old are you? You could be in perimenopause.

I was sterilised at 36, having had a contraceptive implant which was removed at the same time. After a few months my periods settled down to a normal cycle but then because very heavy. Sterilisation is a physical clipping of the fallopian tubes so there is no impact on hormones or periods. Speak to your GP
