Have any of you had the Novasure ablation done?

I'm asking because I had it done in June and it seems that my anxiety has been worse than it normally was...plus I seem to have some new symptoms regarding female issues since having the procedure done.

I'll wait to see if there are any responses before I go into further detail.

Thanks in advance!

S.M.,

I did not even know anything about this procedure until your post prompted me to look it up.

It seems there are no hormones involved in the procedure...but perhaps the healing process, as your cycle starts to resume to its normal schedule, could be enough to increase estrogen/progesterone production, enough to increase anxiety?

As far as the new symptoms are concerned...I did read that it could take up to 3 months to complete healing...so if after this time you are still experiencing anything out of the ordinary...

...consulting your OBGYN would be a wise step.

I wish you quick healing and success from the procedure!

...and hoping everything is going well with you in general. :)

Be well,

S.C.

SC,

Thank you for your quick response, as always!

Since I have had the procedure, I haven't had a period, so I'm very happy about that, however, you do still get all the same symptoms as far as ovulating and pms. With that being said, it feels like they never go away now. I feel crampy like before you get your period, but it stays that way, along with constant back pain, and sorry for this next one, but always feeling like I have to have a bowel movement. Ugh.

I don't know what to think.

Not only that, my anxiety has been THROUGH the roof and we are still playing with my meds. I am going down from 225 mg of my Efeexor to 150 mg plus 10 mg of Celexa for a week, then 75 mg of Effexor with 10 mg of Celexa down to 37.5 Effexor with 20 mg of Celexa and the next week just the Celexa. I've done great on Celexa before, but with my anxiety so bad, I'm SO nervous to start the decrease! I feel like I can't win. I guess I'm feeling sorry for myself and just need some support again.

It's been a long 2 years and I want to feel like the old me...pre rhabdo!! Ugh!!!

Thanks for listening.

That is A LOT to be dealing with all at once!

Rx changes, physical/cycle changes...ect...

I would be struggling too I am sure.

A few years ago, when my anxiety was at its highest, I had a long time frame with irregular, or no cycles, and it was stressful.

There is something to be said in being regular!

Also, I am assuming you were having trouble to begin with to even prompt getting the ablation done...so yea, you have been through it!

Be patient with yourself and the process of navigating through all of these changes...

...use your coping skills, and keep talking with us. We will be here to encourage and cheer you on as you go through this challenging time.

Deep breaths, and know this is not forever!

SC,

Thank you so much for your support. I just had a nice long crying fit and feel a bit better now. If it's not one thing, it's another! Lol

I hope you are doing well, you always support everyone else, we lose focus and sometimes forget to see how YOU are doing!

Thank you again!
