Frequent Periods Post-op

I'm almost 6 weeks post op. Ive had my period twice (lasting longer than 3 days) and had break-through bleeding twice (super heavy but only lasts a short time, a few hours maybe). I'm on the patch, have been since 2 weeks post-op. What is up with my uterus? I've been on birth control before and was always super regular. Is it all the estrogen my fat cells are dumping or something? Has anyone else had this issue?

    I have an IUD and had a lot of breakthrough bleeding at that stage as well. I never specifically talked to my doctor about it but from what I can see from other women its not uncommon after the surge

Hi Stefie! I am not sure what is going on but you should get your blood work check just to make sure your iron is not low. Good Luck!
