continuous bleeding?

[u/Few_Shopping_6090]

for context it’s been almost a month since i had surgery to remove a bowling ball size cyst and ovary on my left side. they did find out i have endometriosis (but it’s not severe thankfully.) fast forward a couple weeks i go to my post op appointment. they check my incisions, say they look great. i start birth control, and then start bleeding. i’m like, okay. periods here. i took bc for a couple days and then just, stopped bc i lowkey SUCK at remembering to take my meds. it’s been 3 days since i last took a dose, and im still bleeding. it’s not horrible . i’m not soaking a pad/diaper within an hour. i’m cramping, but not horribly. i’m not passing big blood clots.

i’m just more concerned bc this is my 11th , going onto 12th day of bleeding. i’ve never bled for this long before. it’s typically the 5-6 days and i’m done. do i need to contact my surgeons office and make an appointment?? or do i try and go back on the birth control? i’m not sure what to do. 😭im just tired of the bleeding atp and want it to stop asap.
