Novasure

First off Novasure can control a Irregular period in which you suffer from excessive menstrual bleeding. I am having this surgery on Friday, and I wanted to know if any of you girls have had it done. It the recovery period long? My doctor says maybe a couple of days, but I am hoping it doesn't hurt to bad.

Hey Mary! I had to google Novasure, but I know what it is now. For others - Novasure is a new-fangled endometrial ablasion technique that uses a wand of energy instead of the balloon and hot Water they used to use.

My mom had it done about 2 years ago the old way, and she loves it. She rarely has periods now. I would love to have it, but I don't think I could convince anyone to do it on a 24-year old. Nobody believes me that I don't want kids.

Anyway, it was out-patient when she did it, and she was in and out before I even had a chance to get a sweater from the car. My mom doesn't do anesthesia really well, so she slept the whole rest of the day and bled for a few days, but she didn't have any pain.

Good luck, and let us know how it turns out for you!

Thanks girl....I guess that means no partying for me that night. I don't have my kids this weekend and the surgery is at 1:30. I told my husband maybe they can do it like a drive thru, and then go on ahead and go out. Well, I guess you can imagine his answer.

Yeah, I don't think you would get anybody to do it at your age.

Oh my gosh, I love the drive-through.

Hey, you should get frequent patient miles for all these conveyor belt surgeries...first Spiegel, now this one! Who's doing your procedure? My mom had it done at Memorial on Gessner, and I'm trying to remember her doctor's name...Robert something. I didn't like him - very factory, just like Spiegel.

Dr. Hulme, he delivered both my boys and tied my tubes. I thought I was through. But, my pierods have been terrible.

Hey, Mary. I just talked to my mom about the procedure to get some more dirt for you.

Like I said, she had it done 2 years ago, and she had the procedure where they stick a balloon up there, inflate it with hot Water, and leave it for about 8 minutes. She bled immediately after surgery, but was finished bleeding when she got home.

She said it was the best thing she's ever done. She has ZERO periods now, just a drop every once in a while, but not enough to warrant even a panty liner.

Will you be going all the way under, or just twilight? I am so jealous! You'll have to come back to this thread and tell us all about it. I'll be thinking of you on Friday. Oh, and how long until you can resume hanky panky?

Thanks girl. I love to hear that. It makes me feel better. That is what I was hoping for.

A friend of mine said she cramped for a couple of days after the procedure.

I can handle cramping a couple of days after then. Lord knows I have put up with that for how many years.
