Only had one period and I was told that it would be normal to have the first one be heavy as it has to get rid of the congestion from the surgery. Future periods should be better. I still have some soreness in my lower abdomen but definetely have more energy. I have to admit that intercourse was so painful before the surgery that I am still too scared to see if it has helped.
