Following my laparoscopy on Monday I’ve been bleeding extremely heavily since. Is this normal?

Ah no poor you :(

It's natural to have some bleeding. But I'd be worried about lots and especially ongoing.

What did you have done during your lap? If you've had lots of investigation and endo removed then sometimes it can cause quite a bit of bleeding

And when in your cycle are you when you had your lap? It can mess up cycles, making your period late / early / lighter / heavier.

If it doesn't feel right book an appointment with your GP - and talk to them. Hopefully you can get a next day one - explain to reception your situation, they should at least let you book in with a nurse if a doctor is not available.

I had the endo removed. My last cycle ended about a week before the op. I was bleeding lightly afterwards but now (4 days later) it’s so heavy! I’m thinking I might need to see a doctor cause it’s making me feel so light headed too
