4 wks and one day post op hysterectomy: some spotting and mild cramping, Is this normal?

Hi everyone. I'm feeling a bit discouraged today. Not sure if I should be or not. I've never had surgery, so not sure if I'm progressing as I should. First week I spotted a bit, then from day 8-18 or 19 I had nothing. No spotting. It started again around day 19-20. It is very light, ranging from pink tinged to slightly brown, and may not always show on a pad, just when I've wiped after urinating. This is still happening today. I also tried to walk 7 blocks away, and then back again on the 21 day, which left me mildly crampy that evening, but lots of pelvic pain the next day. Took about 2 days to ease up completely. So now, I am taking it easier. I am finding I am doing a bit more every day, and fatigue is getting better, but I still get minor cramping if my body thinks I've done too much lol! So can you ladies tell me is this par for the course? Next week I will call my gyne to make the required appointment as 6 or 8 wks as he requested. Thanks in advance!

Hi I had my TLVH on the 23rd so I am at 4 weeks as well. I still have pink spotting especially if I do too much. I have more days were I feel pretty good then I overdo it and I feel wiped out for a day or two. Like today I stayed inside and rested because the past three days I cleaned, walked more, just did more in general but yesterday started to feel very dizzy and bad. Listen to your body and slow down if need be. I am trying to learn that as well.

Thanks! That does make me feel better. Sounds like we are at the same progress point.
Wilma.
