I had my third baby 2/15/11 and my bilateral tubal ligation 2/16/11. No complications after the laprascopic surgery. Breastfed and formula fed together from the beginning, pumping from about 4 weeks to 6 weeks until I went back to work and supply diminished. Bled after birth until 5 weeks, when I had my post natal appointment. Started first period after that around 3 weeks later (baby was 8 weeks). It was 'normal' for me - lasted about 6 days, had cramps before and the first 2 days. All normal for me. I know my normal cycle because I had not been on BC for about 8-9 months before becoming pregnant and was very regular until the month before I got pregnant. So anyway, had my second period beginning may 6 and lasting til may 11. Again, all very normal for me. My husband and I had regular intercourse probably about every other day during the time I was not bleeding, with only the tubal ligation as birth control. 17 days after I stopped my second period, on may 23, I began spotting. It was very light, and I thought it was sex-related. It varied from brownish to light red to slight pinkish. The next day the same. The third day I needed a tampon, but only a light one. After that for a few days I bled more heavily, but not as heavy as the start of a normal period -- about how I normally would towards the second 1/2 of my regular periods. On most days during this I would go several hours with no bleeding and think it was all over. I went all last night with only a pantyliner which was ahem,not needed by the time I woke up this morning. However, I got to work and around 9am it started, very very light again. This is day 11.
Any ideas? Please no hijacking here, I am looking for some help.
I've called my GYN and left a msg for the MA or nurse to call me about it but that was yesterday morning and I've not yet heard back. . .
EDIT - to mention, this long 11 days has had NO cramping whatsoever.

My experience with having a tubal 5 months ago.... I have extreme pain to the point I sit on the toilet and cry my eyes out...The pain takes your breath away. I have gained tons of weight. The smell that comes from my vagina when I'm not bleeding smells like something crawled up there and died.... Horrible smell.... Sex hurts and is not pleasant at all..Facial hair wondering if I am turning into a monkey.... Headaches that bring me to my knees.... I constantly want to throw up... One minute laughing next minute sobbing my eyes out....periods very heavy always wonder if I am going to bleed to death... exhausted.... can't get enough sleep..
Before this "surgery" just had my 3rd son at 30 years old.I would have severe pre-eclampsia. Normal easy periods. Normal happy go lucky attitude. Rarely cried... Loved sex never painful.... never smelled bad...
Currently looking for a doctor to reverse the damage I have done!!!! I will take any risks to have this done... Even if it costs me my life.... Any outcome can't be worse than my current condition!! The sad part is I trusted and loved my doctor andshe never warned me of this possible outcome... I am in the process of writing her a book so the next time someone asks her if there are risks, hopefully, my story comes to her mind and she tells them...
