Vaginal Bleeding after Laproscopy

Hi All
I recently had my second laproscopy to have bilateral ovarian cysts removed. The first time I had the surgery was some 18 months ago and I had very little vaginal bleeding after the surgery. This time I was on Contraceptives for a month before my lap and continued with the active pills till my surgery (ie never took inactive contraceptive pills). My surgery was scheduled on the 3rd Sept and I had spotting or very less bleeding till 6th Sept. However from 7th Sept my bleeding has increased. It is definitely more than my period.
I called my doc on the 8th and he checked if I was still on my contraceptives which I was. He asked me to stop them and have my period start. Its been 4 days now and my bleeding is only higher (2-3 pads in a day). The bleeding is bright red..

Anyone gone through this? I am really worried as I did not expect such a huge flow. I feel very exhausted and drained all the time with severe lower back pain. Please help.

it is not uncommon to have bleeding after laparoscopy and the b/c pills probably confused things further.  Bleeding is considered serious if you are soaking a pad every half hour.
