3 weeks post TVH & light bleeding off &on sometimes bright red most of the time brown

I'm new to the site and had a TVH on Sept 2, 2010. My ovaries where left but cervix removed. I have been bleeding on & off for 3 weeks now. Sometimes bright red but mostly brown. I notice when I do some minor chores around the house.... cooking, laundry and walking more I have pulling just below belly button and sharp shooting pains in my groin area. I feel more discomfort at night. So, the next day I try to take it easy but I'm feeling alot of pressure from my husband. It seems he thinks I should just be all better and be doing more by now. I'm a little disappointed in him because he doesn't understand and to make things worse he is having a friend stay the weekend with us and I'm just not ready to entertain and have meals ready and I'm not at a point to clean the house for his guest. Is anyone experiencing bleeding and husband issues?

I'm sorry....I guess I just need to vent. Maybe it's just my hormones.....

Hello,
I'm new to the site and had a TVH on Sept 2, 2010. My ovaries where left but cervix removed. I have been bleeding on & off for 3 weeks now. Sometimes bright red but mostly brown. I notice when I do some minor chores around the house.... cooking, laundry and walking more I have pulling just below belly button and sharp shooting pains in my groin area. I feel more discomfort at night. So, the next day I try to take it easy as I know this is telling me to take it easy but I'm feeling alot of pressure from my husband. It seems he thinks I should just be all better and be doing more by now. I'm a little disappointed in him because he doesn't understand and to make things worse he is having a friend stay the weekend with us and I'm just not ready to entertain and have meals ready and I'm not at a point to clean the house for his guest. Is anyone experiencing bleeding and husband issues?

I'm sorry....I guess I just need to vent. Maybe it's just my hormones.....

You're welcome! We'll look for you on the Post-Op board.

thanks for the site for hubby....

I hope it helps!
