On and off bleeding after lap

Hi Ladies, I'm 13 days post lap. For the first 5 days I bled quite heavily, then it tailed off to light spotting then last 3 days nothing. I did quite a bit yesterday, around the house and went for a little walk. (First time out of the house) today I'm bleeding again. Not sure if it's because I have over done it, just wondered what experience you had after lap?

I am not sure if I should be worried, I called hospital last week about the bleeding and got made to feel a bit silly for asking. I am on microgynon back to back so it shouldn't be menstrual.

Oh dear Adele, it never ends does it?! I bled and then spotted for the first two week followed by quite a heavy period and now everything has settled down. However, i am not on the pill so unfortunately cannot say whether or not your bleeding is anything unusual or not.

I have now developed quite bad sciatica. So am now laid up again popping a ridiculous number of pills. What will it be next i wonder lol. Hope you get to the bottom of it my lovely.
