Successful pregnancy after Nova Sure endometrial ablation

I had Novasure last July(2010).  It was wonderful the first few months after I had it done but now, I have all of the symptoms I had before just none of the relief.  I have had spotting every couple of months.  I will say that the cramps are nothing like they were but I still have them.  I still get that fatique, breast pain and cramps but none of it is as intense.  Is it better yes but not ideal.  I am praying for menopause.

 

I had an ablasion done last July and found out that I am pregnant 3 weeks ago. Ultrasound shows a 6 week old gestational sac with everything intact and a heartbeat. This pregnancy is a shock, as I am 39, separated and have 3 children. I would love to have this baby, but I am so scared of complications after reading so many scary things online. One of my ob's doesnt seem to be the slightest bit concerned and in fact said she has seen many women deliver succesfully after an ablasion, the other ob says that I can have a medically induced miscarriage because of the many risks involved. I am so conflicted, part of me just wants to wait it out and see what happens, the other part of me is so scared to miscarry when the baby will be much larger. This is the toughest choice ever...and to add to it being 39 (40 by the time it will be full term)

I not only had the endometrial ablation last April, I had my tubes tied after my second child who is almost 20. Two divorces and with the love of my life. Who totally understood that I was not only not interested in having anymore children (he had none) I just had surgery to further prevent that from happening. After 4+ months of being with him, I am now 4 months pregnant with what I am sure is triplets. But to further complicate things, they are not being seen in my uterus. I am not sure if I have two. The OB is sending me for blood test. Wish me luck and God bless.

I had the NovaSure prodecure done in 2004. I never stopped having periods, or bad cramping, my periods did get lighter however. I have a period of 3 days now. I was tricked by a lazy OBGYN into having the procedure. I was told that my body was simmulating miscarriage over and over again, and that this was the only way to stop it. I wish that I had gotten a 2nd opinion, being that I do NOT beleive in birthcontrol, but was told this was the only way to "save my life" due to such heavy bleedings. I have found out that this is totally NOT TRUE. Always get a 2nd oppion ladies from diff. clinics! My husband and I have felt a calling in our lives to reverse his vasectomy(he got after I had the procedure) and allow God to do the rest. No matter if there is pregnancy or not as the outcome- we want to be open to His will. I have gotten an ultrasound of my lining, and taken it to two diff. doctors and both say that I am normal, a 5mm and they have put me on prenatal vitamins, and extra Folic Acid to get my body ready for when my husband has his reversal in January.The OBGYN that I have now was all about "there is no way, the only way for you is through  surrogate" (We do not beleive in that either), so I told her to please just have the ultrasound sent to her office. She gave in and had it sent to her from the other doctor (I did not tell her anything that the other doctor said b/c I wanted HER opinion
. She came back into the office a little later and told me that it is amaizing, and that she has never herd of anything like it.My lining is perfect width for my age (31). After praying, and thanking God, and holding the relics of Saint Gianna Molla, I am fine! Now, all I can say is, from my own research and life....there have been very sucessfull pregnancies after the NovaSure procedure, and it is not worth getting. There is a GREAT book that I recomend reading before you do anything. It give great advice and easy things to do to actually STOP all of the bad symptoms that you are having naturally! I wish I knew about this book before I allowed a "NovaSure happy" OBGYN talk me into the procedure, telling me it was the only way besides hysterectomy. It's called
 "Fertility,Cycles,& Nutrition" by Marilyn M. Shannon. I hope that this helps even one person out there. God Bless.

 To Cindy:

  You wrote 4 monts ago so IDK if you went though with the "Induced Miscarriage" or not. That was just a nice way for the doctors to say what it really is...a medical inflicted abortion. Your baby and the sack were/are showing to be healthy and normal, so I pray that you did not do what that doctor was telling you, and that you saught someone who would help you to have the baby. No child is a mistake. If you did do it, and you are having trouble with your choice. If you need someone to talk to I suggest going to this website. I know how hard it is to carry that kind of pain in your heart. God Bless you Cindy, and stay strong, forgive others, and forgive yourself. I hope that I reach you.

I was 5 wks wen I got a positive pregnancy test and had an ultrasound performed the next day, it said I was 5wks 3days

I have been with my husband over 5 years and did not get pregnant. I have 3 kids from a previous marriage and figure since I get cysts in my ovaries I will probably not have kids again. So over a year ago I had the procedure done. I still get periods but no longer heavy. My last one was February 9th. Last week I had less bleeding than normal and it stopped. I was dizzy on friday. Unsure of why this happened, I took a home pregnancy test yesterday and it was positive. Took another and it was positive again. I'm very worried about being pregnant and have told my husband we could lose it and should expect that but I will keep my hopes up and pray all turns out well. I will keep everyone posted.

While I can truly understand the objectivity in your post, I really don't feel that is it your place to say things like, " Isn't it time to be thankful for the children you have, instead of having another baby with the new man? Children do not make a great relationship and you have to examine those things in yourself before making those serious surgical procudure decisions." So what because someone wants to have a baby with their new spouse. The problem is often times people aren't active listeners. She didn't ask you about enjoying her other children. Just state the facts and move on from there. Use your head... REALLY??? Who told you that you have the ability to advise her or anyone else on their personal matters outside of the request for question to be answered? Do me a solid! PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO NOT ANSWER ANYTHING FOR ME because I will definitely not use my active listening skills. There is a way to talk to someone without shattering their dreams, desires, and/or character. Obviously, you do not have it!



@ Tig: I hope that have or will have continued success. Just make sure to explore all of your options and get other opinions.

I had the ablation done over 5 years ago.. i just found out this morning i am 6 weeks pregnant has anyone out there had a sucessful pregnancy after a ablation??

 

We have the EXACT same situation. I still have periods so I was wondering if it was possible for me to still get pregnant. I've read of a few women having successful pregnancies since Novasure but none on a non-chat site.

Hi I am 26 weeks after novasure and please dont be alarmed yes we do know now it is harmful to both baby and us but my gynae and specialist says if you can push to 28 weeks which is 1 week away from where you at now then you baby still survive incubator for 2-3 months you have to however take it easy

I Agree how rude! I am extremely thankful for the children I have and would love to have a million more! I was sick and a single mom of 3. Had been dealing for 20 years of heavy bleeding and thought I would could never and would never bring a child in to this world after my divorce and raising 3 children on my own for 6 years. so the thought that I wouldnt be able to have children didnt concern me relief from pain did! Now I am remarried to an amazing man and not working 80 hours to support my family and have the life needed to bring another child into this world! wishing you the best of luck!

I have read all the post, and I would like to say that I hope this helps some of the women on here. I had mine done after my 5th. Child due to month long periods whith heavy bleeding, and clumps. I had my tubes tied after my last child in 2003, and the procedure done in November of 2005. I have never had another period or spotting but just found out that I am having another child, at the age of 40 my husban and I were told there was no way we could have more children. We were ok with this after all we have 5.and been marred now 21 years. Now that we are getting ready to retire we are having more, and schocked. I am 51/2 months and not had any problems, Dr. Said they are perfect and I am doing great. So don't give up hope.

I had novasure done 4 years ago and was told I could not get pregnant anymore. I have a 21 year old now and never got pregnant since then. I now find myself 43 and pregnant. So far so good at 7 weeks. Doctor is not concerned as of yet. She doesn't think there are many out there who had the procedure and then had a normal healthy pregnancy. fingers crossed

How are things going for you? I am afraid I may be finding myself in a similar situation! My husband had a vasectomy 7 years ago, we have five children at him and I had Nove Sure done about 2 years ago. My period never stopped though... just got way lighter. I am going to take another HPT in a day or two.. the line was really faint.... hope all is going well for you. I would consider the baby a gift and just be extra careful to take good care of myself! I will keep you in my prayers! I don't see your email in your post though. I am in Michigan too! =)
