Went to the Dr today for biopsy results & it all came back good.
We scheduled the NovaSure for November 14th. Its being done in a local surgical office & not the hospitol. Which Im happy about so I wont be bumped for someone else's surgery. The Dr is doing it on his lunch hr because he said they usually only do it on Thurs & Fri but, my hubby works those days(has no vacation left) so he said he would do it on Tues Nov 14th on his lunch hour.

Im so happy!

I cant wait to get this bleeding under control & not have it effect my life so much.
For the last 2 yrs I have been bleeding very heavy/bad cramps & then in the last 1 1/2 yrs extremly bad cramps,heavy bleeding with golf ball size clots. I have a period every 2 weeks that last 8-10 days.

It's a quick procedure & then just a couple hrs in recovery then I go home with my pain med. Dr said after 2-3 days I should be ok.

Its a procedure where they burn off the lining of the uterus. It's suppose to stop or lighten a period.



Wish me luck & quick recovery! :D

Yes, modern medicine is great. My mother had the same problems & at 37 she had to have a partial hysterectomy. So Im lucky they have other options.

I just hope it all works out & helps me.


Thanks for the good wishes.
