I also had Novasure carried out recently -4 weeks ago, with tubes tied, This was due to Endometriosis, excessiveley heavy period & polyps. I am 38 and has 22 operations since I was 18 for endometriosis. This was my last attempt before having a hysterectomy and the Dr assured my it was a quick op and I'd be up and about the within hours, then I would have no periods ever! down side I couldnt ever have kids however Im lucky enough to be blessed with two boys - which after all these operations is a miracle!.

I woke up after the op in the most excrutiating pain i have EVER felt - even over two labours! it was horrendous, I spent five hours in recovery whilst they pumped me full over ever drug they could - and nothing took the pain away and it was clear they had no idea what the problem was. I can only explain it like contractions - Anyway after load of morphine & ketamine they decided to keep me in and it wasn;t until the next day that the pain subsided slightly.

I have been through a serious of strange symptoms since then , my period started the same day as the op and when i woke up it was gone - which was a good thing - bit odd though! After wards I had a greeny/yellow discharge which had an disgusting foul smell! this stayed for 2 weeks and changed in colour to red mucusy type discharge. The Pain and cramps and back pain have been there since the op, I went back to the dr and the said that everything was normal- give it time.

So I've carried on with my two - three pads a day, swollen belly, back aches, I cant stand for very long as I start to feel faint, I have stabbing pains where the tubes where tied and weird flutterings in my uterus ! I have now bled (albeit not a normal clotty bleed) for 4 weeks and am absolutely exhausted.

Today my period was meant to start and I have had all the hormonal symptoms so far, I am not sure if I am going to bleed heavlily - but I will be extremely disappointed if do!

I have no idea the long terms benefits of this, however I am annoyed that the surgeon made this proceedure (with its glossy sales brochure) out to be a walk in the park - and in hospital I was made to feel like I was putting it on - one Dr told me I was being over sensitive! I wish I found this site prior to having the op and I would just have had a hysterectomy - Novasure on the face of it seem a simple, straightforward solution - but behind the scenes there are strange symptoms and the imbalance is causes is bizarre!!

I'll keep hoping every day that this will all go away
