PreWLS=very regular periods; now post-op they've gone PSYCHO!

Ladies...all my life I've been regular like the clock on my wall. Three days a month, nothing too painful, usually one heavy day with a few lights days on either side. I had surgery in march, 05, and got my period the day of surgery. No problem. The next one, however, came early and with a vengeance. I'm sorry to get detailed here, but I'm talking soaking through tampons and 2 pads within an hour. So i had periods like that for about 3 months, then finally went to GYN and was put on BC pills. Started BC pills about 3 weeks ago, the sunday after I'd started my period, per the instructions. Two weeks after I started the pills ... boom..got another period. It's not AS strong, but pretty close, and has lasted over a week already, while I'm on BC. Sorry for the loooong winded post, but can anyone shed any light on this for me? It's driving me crazy, and seriously burdening my quite frankly blooming (thanks to WLS) sex-life! Thanks girls.
