I had an ablation 2 yrs ago. I've not had a period since. I had been having 10-14 day periods every 2 wks...and they were SUPER heavy. I went to a new gyn and he suggested we try the NovaSure (uterine ablation). I started yet another period 3 days before the surgery. We went ahead as scheduled and when he was checking me just prior to surgery, he was like, "dang you ARE bleeding awfully heavy..."...I told him I had been trying to tell someone that for 2 yrs at that point and no one would listen! I just kept being told it was "normal" because I'm overweight when I brought it up at my old doc. It was the best thing I ever did. I still have all my hormones because I still have my ovaries. Just, the rest of the equipment no longer functions.
