Hello everybody. I read quite a few of the posts here and people seem friendly, understanding and helpful so I decided to join as I get ready for this whole process. I'm 53 and menopause seems way off for me, according to my new dr. She suggested a thermal ablation in the office because I am anemic, exhausted and sick of all this long, heavy period stuff. I mean, seriously, 43 years of this should fulfill my duties to Mother Nature. SO...I have had usual exam, pap, etc. and am scheduled for transvaginal ultrasound and endometrial biopsy on on 4/28/11. Then the ablation, which she anticipates doing in the office. I was okay until I read some of the posts here--now I'm starting to freak a bit. Maybe it just sounds scarier reading about it, but I wasn't afraid of the pain before reading and I was pretty optimistic. I wonder if there are more people who post who have trouble, and when people breeze right through everything, they tend to post less frequently? Are there those of you who had relatively little difficulty, even though it was uncomfortable, and are really glad you had this done? I'm not usually one to wimp out, but now I'm scared to death. After working in a hospital for 30 years, I'm pretty comfortable I know exactly what's going on, so maybe that will make it easier too. What do you think? I'd love to hear from anybody who'd like to comment ! Thanks so much.
