hi just wondering if this is normal, i have had my third laporoscopy two and a half weeks ago and I am still bleeding ot extremely heavy but i would use three four pads a day and it just doesnt seem to be getting any better. Should i be worrying??

Hi There,
Thank you for the additional info. I agree. this sounds different than your previous experience. I would recommend that you ask your doctor about an evaluation of your uterus. Usually I do either an office biopsy or a D&C (dilation and curettage) and look inside the uterus with a hysteroscopy. It is important to make sure that you have not developed a growth inside your uterus.
best wishes

I have noticed that once the dr replies to your question, she doesn't reply to anything added after hers.  I suggest you post a new question to get a reply from dr.  good luck

I am 34, iwas diagnosed with endometriosis about five years ago. I have tried several pills but they really didnt suit me I was having very heavy periods and alot of pain, the first lap was done to help me get pregnant by keeping the endometriosis at bay and I did get pregnant after that baby the endometriosis seemed to come back worse , i tried the pill again for awhile but it wasn't effective, had the second lap again to help with pregnancy and got pregnant however the endometriosis came back worse than ever I tried the pill patch and that had a terrible effect stopped that at x-mas and since then I had extremely bad pain throughout my cycle so went for third lap and found the endometriosis was extremely active and this time weighting down my ovaries which would account for some of the pain. That was a month ago and I am still bleeding very heavily I started the pill straight after the lap and have had no break in the hope of keeping the endo away. This kind of bleeding has never happened to me after anyother of the laps.
