I am scheduled for an Endometrial Abaltion, placement of Hulka Clips, and to have a 3 mm cyst removed from my right ovary on Sept. 22, 2014. I am so glad I decided to look up "Problems with Endometrial Abaltion", before going thru with the surgery. I will be 41 on Sept. 9, and haven't had any cramps since giving birth to my first child at 25, and he just turned 16 yrs. old on Aug. 30th. I started having an irregular period in July of this year, and at the same time was diagnosed with Diverticulites, which I contributed the 10 days of spotting too, and then a week and half later I had a normal period, 5 days, moderate to light flow. This month I am 12 days late this month (Aug) and only had a little spotting on Thurs. Aug. 27th when I discovered it while in my OBGYN's office to have the Endometrial Biopsy done. I have continued to spot very lightly since, but no regular period. I will be calling the OBGYN first thing Tues. morning since Mon. is a holiday to inform her I have changed my mind on the Endometrial Abaltion that I love my periods the way they are, and don't want all the complications I have read about here. I am sorry that each, and everyone of you are going thru this unnesessary pain, only if they (Dr's) had done more research to find out what would happen later on after having this procedure. I owe each, and everyone of you ladies a heart felt THANK YOU for telling your hellish nightmares here so I could find them, to help me decide that I am not having this procedure done! THANK YOU ALL, AND GOOD LUCK!!
