Endometrial Ablation Experience?

4 replies

9 days ago I had an endometrial
ablation (Novasure) plus a fibroid removed. I am 50 and have been so anemic due to beyond heavy periods for 2 years.The first few days I had minimal
spotting as expected. A few after that (and about 2 days before my period was to arrive) I started getting more normal period flow, although significantly less than normal (which was insane). I am guessing I just got my period early now as i has been consistent for four days.
I was hoping that I would be one of the lucky ones who never got a period again.
trying to figure out how you can still bleed so soon after an ablation. I understand that the lining could eventually grow back over time but I was not expecting this.
Can anyone share their experiences with this ?

I had it at 48 and had an ovary removed at the same time. Only had two periods over the next two years. It changed my life.

I haven’t had a period since I had mine. At 9 days I was having watery/bloody discharge but not a real period.

I had it done 7 years ago and have only had 1 period since (2 days after having Astrazeneca Covid jab), however it was very brief. I hope things settle down for you soon.

I had this procedure in 2019. It definitely reduced the (pretty horrific) heaviness and duration. Since then the flow has increased but certainly not back to where I was pre-procedure.
