I may end up with a slight period again someday?

I had the same procedure done and I still have some what of a period but nothing like it was before. I've had one period since the surgery and I think it was actually easier not the others were bad but there was something about it. I wish I wasnt having periods anymore but what I do have is so much better than what it was. Not sure if this helped .

When I had my ablation I was on bc pills. But after the ablation, no period at all. I know some people who have a regular, normal cycle tend to have an incredibly light period after the ablation. I'm one of those PCOS girls who hardly EVER had her period. So when I had the ablation it stopped all together. So now I'm wondering, once I get down to a more normal weight, is my body going to kick into having some sort of a period now, or did the ablation truly take care of it. It'll be interesting to see.

The ablation destroys the glands that produce the endometrium, thus eliminating or vastly reducing menstrual flow. My GYN says that it is possible for the glands to regrow, but highly unlikely.

I had Abalation done in January 2003 because extremely heavy bleeding lasting a couple of months making me Anemic. I didn't have anything for awhile, then only minimal spotting here and there. Still after all this time I only get a spot here or there but not enough to warrant anything more than a liner and tampons have not been needed since surgery. I will go through some feelings of light cramps or backache maybe every two or three cycles. It is the BEST thing I did and for me it has curbed the severe PMS, the Mood swings, etc Hope that helps
