Periods after birth!

Hi. I gave birth to my gorgeous DD 11 weeks ago nearly. I’ve already had my first period and after this I went and got the pill which I’ve been taking for about 3 weeks now. Anyways 2 days ago I started bleeding (not as much to warrant another period) so put in a tampon. Everytime I take the tampon out, only one side of it has blood on. This is worrying me as I’ve never experienced it before. I’m due to book a smear but it’s obviously not been long since I gave birth. It’s frightening the life out of me thinking something is wrong with my ovaries/tubes as to why only one side is bleeding. This has happened every time for 3 days now. Has anyone experienced anything similar that could give me advice before I panic book a doctors appt.
TIA x

I had this before I gave birth. I think it's just how the tampon went in. Tbh though I prefer pads so it's been a while since I used one.

I doubt there's anything wrong though with ovaries... it's the uterus lining that sheds and that's on both sides regardless of which ovary releases an egg.
