<br>
<br>
I am 40 years old, have 3 kids, and I have had severe bleeding with my periods for the last 3 years.  At least during that time my periods came at normal
intervals... about every 28 days.  Now, in the last 6 months I&#39;ve been getting my period every 18 days, and the bleeding is as bad (and sometimes worse)
than ever.  I had an... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ <p>      Hi I am new to this board or should I say that this is my first post.  I have been reading for a few days now.  I had a Microwave endometrial ablation
with an D &amp; C and polyp removal  on the 12th of November.  I had hardly any pain with this procedure.  It was done in the office under general anesthesia. 
I went home with just a panty liner and light spotting.  After that I started to have a discharge on about day five.  I was due for my first period after the
procedure on day 6.... ]]></description>

in my Dr. office. I was put under for the procedure with IV medication. When I was finished, I remember the nurse trying to get my jeans on while I was in the

<br>
 I am scheduled for a Thermachoice ablation on Dec 10.  I have had very heavy long periods for over three years.  They started after my last son who was born
via c-sec.  I had a tubal after the c-sec and the heavy long periods started.  After 3 years of dealing with going through super tampons in an hr for the first
3 days of AF and over 10+ day periods I finally said enough.  I saw an OB (Oct 14) who put me on Depo because I used it before... ]]></description>

<br>
<br>
I am posting to say thank you for this board.  I first came across this forum about a year ago and have been tentative about having the ablation.  About a
month ago I found the site again and began reading again to gather information to help me make the decision on whether or not to get it done.  After reading
many of the posts I was able to make a decision and had it done with radiowaves.

<br>
I had a laser Ablation done nearly 8 years ago , in hopes of having just a few days without heavy bleeding.At the time of my ablation, I had been bleeding for
almost 2 years, heavily,with no end in sight.This was my 3rd experience with menoraghia , the first 2 times were stopped after 14 and 19 months with BC&#39;s.
Just for the record-after the ablation,I remember some fairly bad cramping for about a week or so. I also had regular,heavier bleeding for about 3 days... ]]></description>

really never had a &quot;normal&quot; period, but nothing like what I have been going through the last year and half. After Sara, I would have my period and
then it would be between 40-45 days before I would have another one. I went and saw my family doctor in March and she put me on Prometrium to try and jump

detected a sizeable polyp.  The subsequent biopsy was benign (whew!), and I decided to have a hysteroscopy, D&amp;C, and NovaSure ablation at the doctor&#39;s
suggestion.  I had the procedure on 11/11/09 at a local surgical center and, fortunately, had no cramping or other problems post-op.  It&#39;s been 2.5 weeks

			<description><![CDATA[ I would very much like to hear from people who have had both these procedures. I&#39;ve heard that they can be done together, but my doc recommends that they
be done separately (Essure first). I&#39;m a bit under the gun time wise, since my insurance deductible kicks back in in January, making it much cheaper for me
to do these both by the end of the year. Any and all stories, feedback are welcome! Thank you! ]]></description>

cycles that last for 6-7 days. I usually only have about 10-14 days in between each cycle. I am not able to take birth control pills any longer as I found out
5 years ago I have a blood clotting disorder and develped a huge blood clot. This is my only other option short of a hyst. I am really hoping that this will
benefit me. ]]></description>
