A member asked:

I am on birth control pills. i had a acl reconstruction surgery 3 days before my period was supposed to come but it never came. is this something to worry about?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No. It is probably related to the stress of the surgery. You can take a pregnancy test just to be sure.
