I had the Novasure late April 25, 2014. I started having heavier periods in September and now in December I have had worse cramps that I had before I had the fibroids removed and before the Novasure. On day 1 of my cycle I had extreme cramping, diarrhea, cramps all over my abdomen, nausea, and cold flashes. I have NEVER had this before. If it's like this next month I will go back to my Gynecologist.
Did you have a full hysterectomy or partial? Right now they are putting me on birth control to see if that helps with the ovary pain/ovulation. I'm afraid a partial wouldn't be effective as my worst pain comes with ovulation.
What a joke, I had this procedure done December 2013, was in lots of pain for first 6-8 weeks on lots of antibiotics and pain meds too, it died down around February and I thought great only for it to return in April waited until May and finally went to my g.p who treated me for kidney infection no improvement so goes back to g.p who sends me of to hospital, was admitted for almost a week, being told it was kidney infection, then it was being caused by fluid retention, then I went home catheterised and on lots of meds, was admitted again a week later, and told my clip from my sterilization back in 2007 this was done, asked to stay in another night then if consultants agreed I would be taken to theater the next day, then it was like it was never mentioned,
Long story short I've seen urologist,kidney doc,spine specialist and more recently gyno who has been honest and said this pain is down to nova sure ablation and the only way they can fix this is by removing my uterus, so not even two years and il be having the procedure done! Yet what I don't get is why couldn't all these different docs put two and two together a year of unneceserray suffering pain feels horrendous some times I can't walk dress go to work I'd rather have my full blown periods any day too this,
Hope you get sorted out soon
I am 49 and if the hysterectomy would take away the pain, I am all for it.
I am so glad I found this post! Today is 14 Oct 2015, its one year exactly since I had the ablation in Oct 2014. For the first eight months, my periods got lighter and lighter and I was really happy with the result. However, in June 2015, on the second day of my period I experienced the most excruciating and debilitating pain, I ended up in bed with pain relief and a hot water bottle. The pain continued for 3 days in total gradually getting less and less - 1 day of being bed bound - 2 days of being very uncomfortable. I put this down to a one-off until I realised that this was cyclical pain and is now happening every month of my period for the same amount of time. I visited my Gynaecologist yesterday, who said that this sometimes happened with ablations....! Er, no-one told me! I asked her about Ashermans Syndrome she confirmed that an ablation would put my uterus at high risk of this and didn't seem surprised. (Thanx then....) I was very upset and told her that I would rather have my heavy bleeding back than to have this pain - she then suggested a hysterectomy. I told her that having an ablation was to avoid having a hysterectomy in the first place! She could see that I was very adamant against further surgery, as I now wonder about what other stuff they don't tell you, like the ablation, so for now she has suggested the contraceptive pill (which I have not been on since I was 28, I am now 48!). The pill is progestogen-only, meaning I take it every day and I should not have any periods, technically no period - no pain right? Now I worry about side effects of being on the pill but I am going to give it a go and see if it works out. For anyone considering this surgery, I would think long and hard, I knew it could fail but by failing I thought that meant that my heavy bleeding would continue, I did not know that it meant getting an entirely different and worse problem to deal with.
