Moving toward: menopause, I suspect. Of course, after an ablation the pattern of bleeding is a little bit more difficult to interpret. Having cyclic bleeding for the last few years suggests you were menstruating. Given your history, it is highly unlikely you are pregnant. You may be starting to experience irregular menses related to menopause, average age 51. OK to watch for 2-3 weeks; if ?'s, contact Doc.
