Getting tubes tied

Mayra
I just had my tubes tied last week. So there's quite a few things going on with my body right now. I'm curious how much of it is normal. I feel like I have a very irregular period right now. Spotting comes and goes, at first a lot and then a little, then back to a lot. Painful cramping throughout the night and day. 
What was your experience like? How was the recovery process for you?
