I had a tubal back in May, and stayed on the Pill for another month after. This is my second period since the surgery (well, the 2nd that is not chemically related) and I swear, I have never had them like this! Both have been so heavy, that I've used super tampons AND pads! Is it always going to be like this?

Help!

It might be like this, yes.

I should have explained better. My doctor put me on the Pill for 3 months just to keep me from getting pregnant prior to my surgery. I stopped taking the Pill about 10 years ago, and have used alternatives ever since. I'm hoping once my hormones calm down, my periods will go back to normal. Just freaked me out a little bit!

Thanks,
