What Could Be The Reason For Spottings Instead Of Period After Tubaligation?

I am 39 year old african american woman with 3 kids youngest is twelve. Have had a tubaligation 6 months after my youngest. I was suppose to come on my period around the 20th of the month but instead it was a few days late and it was only light brown flakes I saw after going to the bathroom in the toilet. Nothing would be in my clothes but only in the toilet and wiping with toilet paper. Then a few days ago it seemed to be a little more and a little more red in color. Now its January 3rd and I am still spotting. This is not normal for me. I recently lost my job in August and have lost a little weight since last month because I am eating less, I currently am waiting to see if I get approved for Medicaid.

Hi,

Tubal ligation has nothing to do with menses or spotting. Bleeding or spotting is from uterus which is different place. The spotting you are experiencing is probably extended periods. Hence dont worry about it if it happens once in a while.
