Brief Answer:
It is normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It is normal to have a heavy period within first 3 cycles of polypectomy.

This is because of increased surface area of uterus after polypectomy and shedding of excess endometrium.

Don't worry about it.

Let me know if you need any more clarification.

Regards
Dr. Soumya
