Period Question (Sorry, Boys!)

So, I suffer from VERY heavy periods. I was scheduled to have ablation done in December, but my last (3rd period since surgery) was NORMAL and not heavy. In fact, it was really light. Has anyone else noticed changes here? I know this could be temporary considering my body has completely changed, but does anyone have any input that is farther out than me? (only 3 1/2 months)

After my surgery my period became normal immediately. On time all the time now and a regular flow.

I used to go for months without it or would have it for three months straight (bleeding heavy every day)

Good luck

I am six months out

Mine was super, crazy heavy before and still is :(

Thanks for the feedback guys. Maybe it was a fluke.

Musta got lost! I didn't even realize....

I would 100% reccomend an ablation! I have not had a period in a year! And I'm only31! It is so freeing;)

Best thing I've ever done for myself thus far ( until I'm sleeved;)

I am also considering an ablation. I have to get a four hour Iron infusion (as soon as I get home from traveling) because my periods are so heavy and I can't get the anemia under control.

I am pretty nervous about the ablation... Having kids is 99.9% not in my future, but that .01% is still in my mind. It seems silly objectively, but emotionally getting the ablation will be tough.

Sorry to chime in with my story on your thread - I don't know anybody else dealing with the constant bleeding and ablation issues!

Good luck!

The only thing that has changed about mine is the frequency has become irregular (even though I've had a tubal it still freaks me out to be late! :wacko: )

I'm considering an ablation. My sister had one and she now has 2 day light, light, light periods.

I'm also very anemic and on Iron supplements so both docs (gyn & VSG surgeon) think this is a good option for me.
