Brief Answer:
Hormonal imbalance more likely than pregnancy
Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. The important thing to note is that in pregnancy, most of the symptoms that appear are due to a hormonal change, which is mandatory to support pregnancy.
But these very symptoms also appear when other factors cause a hormonal change (imbalance or surge) in women. Conditions like menopause, medications, stress, pre-menopause or peri- menopause, birth control pills, disorders or syndromes, infections, etc.
So it would be important to note your age, your hormone levels, and go about an elaborate medical evaluation to find the exact cause for your presentation. In my opinion, the cause could very well be an imbalance brought about by the medical procedure you have undergone in the past that could be causing a change or imbalance in your hormone levels, along with possible approaching menopause.
I hope you find my response helpful and informative. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help you.
Best wishes.

Some months are worse than others and my shnotkms start two weeks before my menstration thats even if i get it
Brief Answer:
Symptoms related to meopause unlikely
Detailed Answer:
Hello once again ma'am.
Although menopause or pre-menopause is unlikely, the angle we are suspecting is indeed right. A hormonal imbalance can easily cause all the symptoms you have described.
As listed earlier ma'am, the surgery itself can cause a hormonal imbalance and so you may require hormonal supplements. If not for the surgery, there may be other causes also ma'am. So all we need to do is find the cause, and by treating it we may be able to help balance your hormone levels.
And even if treatment is not easy as is with a few conditions, correcting the hormone levels directly with the help of supplements will certainly help.
Please consult your doctor and initiate an evaluation at the earliest. I hope you find my response helpful ma'am. Please do not hesitate to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.
