Five days out . . . is bleeding in my future?
I had surgery on Monday morning, and now it's Saturday evening. Thus far, I've experienced pretty much what I expected, and what seems the norm. But, I'm troubled by a post op thread I read about sudden heavy bleeding, three and four weeks out. Is the worst not behind me? Somewhere between Christmas and New Year's, am I to understand that an onset of bleeding (I'm doing zero now) may not be out of the question??? My doctor has my husband at home with me for the first 10 days after discharge, so he'll be going back to work on 12/27. That would lead me to believe that, by then, I should not have any new or difficult problems that aren't serious complications? Please help me understand.

I'm three weeks out and have had no bleeding at all. I hope I don't ever have any. I think it varies. Good luck to you and have a merry Christmas.

I'm five weeks out and haven't had any bleeding since the night after my surgery. It's been wonderful. And consider yourself blesses to have DH home with you for 10 whole days. Mine went back to work 4 days after my surgery, and 2 of those days were in the hospital! Best wishes for a smooth recovery.
Merry Christmas!

Five days out . . . is bleeding in my future?
I had surgery on Monday, Nov 21 and left the hospital on Wed the 23rd not wearing a pad. Had a little staining until about 10 days post-op when I started bleeding - not a lot but I was concerned since I had not been bleeding before. Went to the dr and, after exam, he said not to worry unless it got a lot heavier. Almost 4 weeks post-op now and down to just a little bit of stain except overnight when it seems to get heavier. Hope this helps.

I'm 4 weeks 3 days out with TAH BSO and didn't experience any bleeding post op until about the 3 week mark. The doc checked my vaginal cuff (I nearly crawled up the walls) and proclaimed me in good health but gave me a prescription for a anti infection medicine. Haven't seen bleeding in a couple of days now even though I've definately been overextending myself with Christmas activities. Take it easy for best chance of recovery.

As you can see, each of us are unique and we don't all face the same symptoms during recovery. Only time can tell if you will experience bleeding or not. Try not to worry and know that you won't be alone if you do or if you don't, but we will hope you don't! It is great that your DH is able to be home with you to help you for these first couple weeks. Best wishes to you! :xmas2:
