I had the novasure procedure four months ago. I have to say that I don't understand if my hormones won't shut off, why any procedure short of removing my womb would make a difference?
But a girl can hope... so I had it done and it didn't work. 6 yrs ago I had a laser ablation which also didn't work. I really hoped Novasure would be different, but it wasn't. I'm not bleeding as heavily as I was prior to the procedure, but I'm bleeding nonstop with no end in sight. I'm not anemic which is good, but it has definitely affected my intimacy with my husband which is not good.
Some days I'm experiencing no flow at night but as soon as I get up and gravity takes over, it starts again. Sometimes, it's just pink discharge and other times it's clots and gunk. I'm hating this! But, I don't want a hysto, so I'm now trying a natural remedy which claims it can normalize my cycle within a month. I bought it.. and have spent about a week and a half taking the extract in a little bit of water and yes, my bleeding is much lighter, but still causing me grief!
I have an annual exam appt. coming up with the doctor who did the procedure so I will tell her it didn't work, but not sure what to do next!
What really sucks is that I can be the one in ten women it doesn't work for, but I can't win the state lottery... go figure!
I feel like my womb and I are at war and I'm hating it. I only have maybe three - five years to deal with this problem before menopause sets in so am trying to avoid the hysto, but not liking it right now!
