Ooh that was weird! I thought that thread title looked familiar!
Hi Harman..I take it this is period problems? What a drag they are.
Yes, I had the injection in April. It's done into your tummy but it didn't hurt any more than a normal injection would.
I had no after effects at all. I felt fine and there was no bleeding. I read the patient info that came with the injection and like most drugs it comes with a scary list of things that 'could' occur but nothing did.
I then had the ablation done in May a month later. That was ok too. I had a general anaesthetic but it all went well and I bounced back very quickly. No pain apart from the odd twinge where they'd done it.
I was hopeful that would be the end of the dreaded periods, but sadly it does not appeared to have worked for me.
I had a big gap of 8 lovely period free weeks in the summer, but they have been creeping back and I seem to have been getting back to the depressing one every 18ish days which is not good, although they are not quite as heavy as before I suppose.
I spoke to gynae last month and he said I had just been unlucky and for some people he says it just doesn't work. He's now suggesting a hysterectomy, but I'm very very undecided about that and will see how I go.
I would definately recommend the abalation though. It wasn't horrendous and it's worth a try for sure.
