I had the novasure procedure done 1 month ago. The pain and cramping was awful the first 3 days then the pain subsided. A few days ago I started having this pain in my lower right side, pelvic mayby? Anyways, it comes and goes and the in last week I have been cramping like I am fixing to start or something. I am kinda moody and bout sick of this cramping.

Hello, I just had an Endometrial Ablation Novasure)on Friday the (Jan.)15th. Since I've come home from the hospital I've had horrible low back pain. The cramping is still pretty bad too. I was supposed to be able to go back to work today...but there is no way. I'm going to go back to the doctor tomorrow. Has anyone had these same problems? Thanks

Well, I know everyone has different experiences, but the procedure itself (Her Option Cryoablation) I was actually expecting it to be worse. Now 2 days later when everything is supposed to be hunky dorey, HOLY MOLEY!!!!! I am in severe pain, cramps, gas like pain, bloating, and really back rectal pressure. I don't know what is going on. Last night I had a low grade fever (normal, I guess) but now no fever, but I thought the pain was only supposed to be for 2 days? I find myself HOLDING MY BREATH, because the motion of breathing is excrusiating! I am posting to possibly get answers or to feel better (misery loves company?)

Hi I had an Endometrial Ablasion (the balloon type) on 17th Feb and reacted to the general anaesthetic and amount of morphine given ie vomitting. Felt very groggy afterwards for about 4 days and my blood pressure dropped when for example standing up and was prescribed anti sickness pills as I kept feeling light headed and nauseous. then was prescribed antibiotics (2 different types) in case I have an infection although my GP thinks I don't. I am still cramping and yes am still bleeding albeit watery. since the op each night I am having really bad flushes usually start at 11-11.30 pm and then have them throughout the night. Today is the first day back at work as I have been too uncomfortable to carry to be on my feet all day. I still do not feel right and am extremely tired (doesn''t help with the night sweats. Has anybody else experienced such affects? Normally I can cope with anything and am healthy but this is getting me down.

I had the Novasure in October 2009. The procedure was perfect - had no issues with recovery. The first few months I bled a bit but eventually the bleeding was so minimal that I didn't even need a pad. The problem I'm experiencing now is severe cramping and lower back pain about 5 days prior to my period. I usually would only have cramps the day I started prior to the ablation. So the question is...bleeding that might make you hemmorage to death or cramps that make you want to die...it seems to be a common problem with this procedure and you just don't know until you do it. I'm not sure if I would have followed through with it knowing the pain I'm dealing with now!!

I had the procedure done in the dr office almost 3 years ago because I was having a period every two weeks for 5-7 days. I had very little pain and went back to work the next day. I no longer have any real period but on occasion I will have some light spotting for a day or two, nothing like before. I am very glad I had it done!
I have had some weight gain and will rarely have cramps but when I do have cramps they are as bad as when I had a heavy period. I still say I am glad I had it done. I was tired of periods every two weeks for over a year!

I had the Novasure ablation done July 30th in the dr.office so I didn't need anesthesia. I figured for 90 seconds- I could do it. No pain , no problems. Today 1 1/2 months after procedure I started I believe but so far it is light with very little cramping. I never had any pain or cramping after procedure. If I only have a light period from here on out that is fine with me, anything is better than the heavy periods in my past. Everyone in my family had their 1st period at age 11 I was 10 and they all were in menopause before 45 and I am 53 and was still going strong with no hope of slowing anytime soon so I deserved to get this done.

Oh yea, and the weight gain - I have already gained 10 # but I am not sure it is from this procedure or from the anti-inflammatories that I am on for my strained muscles in my arm.

I had an EA on 21 July 2011 and still off work, I have suffered cramps and dragging and had two periods, currently enduring my 2nd one where the pain was reduced to 20%, still very hot abdomen, woke up at 4.30am Sunday morning with pain. Am now going to book to see my local doctor to see if anymore can be done, e.g. trying the minipill which I had avoided as I thought this would offer a quick fix to two years of pain. My own doctor and work doctor have been very supportive and said we are all individuals and our results will not fit into a one size fits all prognosis. Wish i was one of the ones who got straight back to normal without periods.
