Can i miss my period after having an acl reconstruction? i had surgery on a wed, period was due the following sun but never arrived. now 5 days late.

Sure can!: Any major stress, like surgery, or a new drug (like anesthesia) can affect the menstrual cycle. However, be sure to check for pregnancy, as that it the most common cause of a missed period in a sexually active, fertile female. If you miss another period or you are pregnant see your doc.
