Ladies - TOM Question.
It's probably the hormonal shakeup. I hadn't had a period for 2 years because of a combo of PCOS and an IUD. Two days after surgery, I started having some light spotting, and then 2 weeks later I got a full-blown period. And the period has been coming at irregular intervals since. Yay, hormones!

Get this for a kick... I got mine the day after surgery and I am still on it!!! Almost 2 weeks post op! It is back and forth from heavy, to "almost gone light" and then back to "hey I am still here." Hopefully it will end soon because being anemic I am so tired and I am to scared to swallow my big horse Iron pills right now.
2 weeks of bleeding AND being anemic already???
Time to call your surgeon and/or ob/gyn. I would consider getting the IUD Mirena inserted, STAT. That IUD has a low dose hormone in it that lessens the length and amount of bleeding of your period. Even during my hormonal ups and downs of my post-op DS life in the first year I never really had a "real" period. I had light spotting, usually not even enough that I needed to wear anything for it. I LOVED it. I didn't even get the dreaded period while I was in the hospital!
I would also recommend switching to Proferrin Iron, as they aren't huge horse pills and are less constipating than other forms of iron.
