Lupon Depot plus myomectomy, 2 months in recovery and I'm still bleeding. How long is the recovery??

I've been bleeding and spotting intermittently since 09/06/2019 til today! Had a myomectomy 2 months ago and I don't know why I'm still bleeding and is this a normal recovery process??? How do you know if it was healing well inside?? Can having sex trigger the bleeding and is that why?? None of my doctor's instructions really helped me. I experienced a lot of side-effect from the injection, yet it did not stop me from bleeding at all. At this point, I doubt if my doctor really know what's going on with me. Can anyone relate? What should I do?

Here is the timeline of the treatment for my 7.9cm fibroid and 50% of which grows in my uterine cavity.

08/05/2019: I had an Lupron Depot 11.25mg (3 months dosage) and Aygestin to manage the side effect of the injection, at the same time stopped taking birth control as doctor told me it interferes with the injection.

08/07/2019: I got my period because I stopped the birth control and Lupron hasn't kicked in yet. I was hemorrhaging, fainted on the subway, caused train delay, and managed to get myself to the emergency room, and my hemoglobin dropped to 7.8.

8/13/2019: Period stopped. In the next two weeks, I had two Iron Infusions.

09/6/2019: Had period-like bleeding which didn't tend to stop after 7 days, the doctor asked me to take Aygestin 3 times per day til bleeding stops, which didn't help at all. I was traveling at that time so I went to a local gyn and was told to switch to Yasmin. Bleeding decreased to spotting.

10/28/2019: I had a laparoscopic robotic myotectomy. Still bleeding afterwards because of the surgery with cramps sometimes. At the same time I was on Yasmin once a day. According to the doctor, this will prevent me from having period and let my uterus take a break. I was told that the bleeding will stop in 4-6 weeks. However my bleeding didn't seem to decrease 6 weeks after surgery, and when I saw the doctor, she stated that it was caused by the birth control. At this point, she asked me to stop Yasmin, get a period, and everything should be back to normal.

12/14/2019: Heavy bleeding. I assume it was period. Stopped in 5 days but came back with heavy flow and cramps on day 7. Intermittent bleeding since then.

12/24/2019: Messaged my doctor about the bleeding. She was out of office. Nurse responded and stated it was the side-effect of Lupron Depot wearing out and asked me to keep monitoring.

01/03/2020: Two weeks since my last period. Heavy bleeding, like first day of period and I'm still bleeding while I'm writing.
