Endometrial Ablation Anyone?

I had the NovaSure procedure a little over three years ago (at 42). Fantastic results, no period since then. I had it done on a Thursday and was back seeing clients on Monday.

Had that done four months ago. I still get a period but it's very short and I barely bleed. I HIGHLY recommend it!

I was back in business a few hours after I got home. Sleep was my friend but I stroked it for another day just because...

Do a search on this. This question gets asked a LOT.

I had one and my only regret was that I didn't do it sooner. I had periods from hell - every two weeks instead of every month, bleeding through my clothes every hour, cramps that doubled me over, PMS that made people ask if someone had dropped a house on my sister. After the EA, nothing. No bleeding, no cramping, no PMS.

I had an option for this procedure but my Dr. told me it does not take for everyone. I was DONE with all the procedures so I opted for a complete hysterectomy and it was the best decision I ever made.

That said, my SIL opted for the EA and has had no regrets.

I had one BEFORE I had my hysterectomy...it worked for me for about 18 months - no cycles - it was great! then one day I could've SWORN i was pregnant and going into labor...this was right after Thanksgiving last year - went back to the Dr and we scheduled my hysterectomy for Feb...

If you don't have to have a hysterectomy - I would do it. It was a same day procedure for me and about 4 days recovery time. I also had my tubes tied then too.

GOOD LUCK!!

I know someone who had it done and she swore by it. She was back to work the next day (I believe).

I wasn't a candidate for it....weird shaped uterus, blah, blah, blah.

Had a laproscopic hysterectomy 3 weeks ago today. Was back in action within a few days. Felt back to self at 2 weeks out. If I didn't get this cold this week, I would have been back to 100%. Best decision EVER!

Best of luck with your decision....but do something. It is worth it!
