Ever since about six months after I had my tubes tied five years ago, my ovulation is colored. It can be either pinkish red to dark brown in color. My OB says it's nothing to worry about and he wants to put me on the pill. However, I have BIG side effects from extra hormones so the pill isn't an option for me. He has also suggested the ablasion procedure which seems extreme in that my periods are quite normal--five days in length and only heavy the first one or two days. Anyone else had this happen to them? I've also had numerous tests/ultrasounds, etc. to make sure everything was normal and it was. Help!
