bleeding/cramping after four months without after ablation

I am 48 years old and had a uterine ablation in early April 2006.  After the post-op bleeding ceased (about 2 weeks after the procedure) I was great for four months- no bleeding, no cramping.  I thought I was home free until 10 days ago when the same type of cramping that I had before the ablation began again- then a 3 day 'period' with on/off bleeding and cramping since.  I am afraid to be active for fear that I will cause more bleeding-- last year when I had excessive bleeding and cramping I was told to rest as much as possible.  My doctor said it is not unusual to have light periods after ablation, but I'm starting to feel very similar to how I felt before- it just doesn't feel right.  Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I had the Novasure procedure July 13 2009. My doctor warned me that I would be in the most excruciating pain of my life. I had no pain whatsoever. I had gushing bleeding the first few days then it tapered off. On July 22 I started having cramping like I was starting my period with VERY light spotting. Then on July 28th I started the EXTREME hot flashes that I get every month when I start. I went in for my follow up on the 29th and they examined me and everything was fine. They said the bleeding could last at least 6 weeks. Then on July 31st I started a light flow but it was light pink. There has been some little clots and gunk but no cramps the hot flashes have toned down to the normal I get.

I just had my 4 week post-op after my novasure and mentioned to the doctor about the cramping and bleeding that started back about 2 weeks ago. The first two weeks were actually not too bad!
I was certainly hoping that things would start to improve, especially after my doctor said we'd wait another 2 weeks before we became concerned...
