Successful pregnancy after Nova Sure endometrial ablation

im having the same problem i want to have a baby after having an ablation a year ago but i have not had any periods, anyway its sad cause the doctor was supposed to remove a cyst that causes alot of pain every month and he told me that this procedure would help get rid of the pain and it didnt, i no longer get periods and from what i have been told no periods means you have no lining, and no lining means no pregnancy, i was however told by a nurse that i can take progesterone to help regrow the liing, im not sure as from what another person told me where the uterus lining was now there is probably just scar tissue :( wish i would have never done this all my hopes of having a baby are gone.

God allowed this and believe and pray over your belly every day that God will cause a miracle and strengthen your uterus and placenta.

God Bless you!!!!!!!!!!!!that is AWESOME!!!!!! I am 35 and I had my tubes tied in 08 and the Nova Sure in 10, I got my periods back, and now I am 2 months late.. I am praying God will Bless me like you with 1 more..You are my inspiration and I am believing that God will create a Miracle and I will have no problems or side effects, thank you so much, please look me up if you have Facebook, look for Jamie Barrera...

Did you start having your period again before you got pregnant?

I read on a medical website that it is possible to have successful pregnancies after ablation. If you are continuing to have periods you are more likely to get pregnant and have a successful pregnancy. It also states that no ablation removes 100% of the lining which allows the egg a place to attach. They also discussed the risks of miscarriage or early termination of the pregnancy due to the procedure. I had an ablation done after my youngest son was born becasue I had heavy bleeding that was severe. Mythen husband and I had 4 children, 2 of which were from his previous marriage. We are divorced now and I am with an amazing man who has no children of his own and we love each other very much. Being a parent and loving him I would love to be able to give him the child he so desires. The person who posted their judgemental comment on here should feel horrible. You do not know or understand the circumstances of another's life. There are MANY reasons for making the decision to have a procudre done.....and you never know what life may give you that changes everything.
BEST OF LUCK ladies!! I hope you all are able to have babies if you so desire! I will pray for each of you!

I had an abalation in 2008 and got pregnant in 2011. Successful pregnancy. Daughter just turned 1 yr old. Happy and healthy and a blessing.

I was wondering if anyone on this post has experienced having their cervix scarred shut after a Novasure ablasion. I had a Novasure ablasion in 2010. Since then I have had regular spotting about every 28 days but no red blook, just brown. I did not have my tubes tied. I consulted a doctor regarding the possibility of having more children and he gave me hope. He ordered an Histoscopy. After having the histoscopy, I woke up to find out he could not get past my Cervix to check the Uterus. I was wondering if there is anyone else who experienced this. I was told I could further my quest and see a specialist more experienced with the proceedure.

I am in the same boat as you. I have been told that it is possible, through invitro. However, I haven't met with a specialist yet to talk to him in detail about this. Devestated that I had this done.

This is very inspiring. I pray that I have this same luck. Did you still have periods? Did you have to see a specialist?

I had an ablation in 2011.  My period never stopped although it was lighter.  I went from 7-10 days of full heavy period to 3-5 days of medium to light period.  I guess my post ablation period is more the norm.

I didn't get my period last month, in October, and I was feeling weird.  So, to save my sanity, I took a home pregnancy test.  To my surprise and relief, it was positive.  But I'm an RN and I know the risks of pregnancy after ablation.

I met with a high risk OB/GYN (the same one who did my ablation actually) and she ordered an ultrasound immediately.  I went today and was told its too small to tell if its heart is beating.  I'm pretty sure I should be 7-8 weeks along but the ultrasound said I was 4 week 6 days.  So, Now I worried its not a growing baby.  

Next week I have 2 labs to check for growth hormone to see if it goes up and another ultrasound in a week to see if there's growth.  

I HOPE this baby lives! I want it sooo badly!  I try to keep positive but the doctors keep asking me if I feel any pain or cramping or if I'm bleeding.  My fingers are crossed!!! My heart is open!  I believe God is on my side!

 

You actually had your tubes tied AND an ablation done and you ARE pregnant?!!? I have had both,too, and now I think possibly I could be to. I would be in such shock if I were. WOW is all I can say. :-/

Hi!

I know you would like to have a baby with him, but you need to know the risks. Unlike fibroid embolization, which does not seem to seriously affect the chance for a normal baby afterward, getting pregnant after endometrial ablation procedures has been the cause of some disastrous outcomes. From the latest meeting of the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists:

"When pregnancy continued past the first trimester, a number of complications arose:

• Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) requiring cesarean hysterectomy,

• Preterm premature rupture of the membrane, placenta acretia, postpartum pyelonephritis with sepsis.

• Fetal distress/decelerations, terminal bradycardia

• IUGR, non-reassuring fetal heart tracing

My specialty is high risk pregnancy. I would help a woman who came to me already pregnant after an ablation, but some of these can not be prevented. Consider surrogacy with your sister or another as a less risky option. Adoption is also possible.



Other complications seen: Uterine rupture preterm, and ectopics and anomalies:



Overall, 123 pregnancies after EA have been reported in the English literature, including five pregnancies among 356 women who underwent EA at our hospital. Fifty-nine (48%) of 123 pregnancies were terminated at the mother's request. The remaining 64 pregnancies were associated with spontaneous abortion (28%, 17/64), premature rupture of membranes (16%, 10/64), prematurity (31%, 19/64), cesarean section (44%, 27/64), and placental adherence complications (25%, 17/64) which necessitating hysterectomy in 10 women. Four tubal ectopic, two cornual and two cervical ectopic pregnancies were reported. The ectopic pregnancy rate was 6.5% (8/123). There were nine perinatal deaths, corresponding to a perinatal mortality rate of 14% (9/64). Five babies had congenital anomalies, including craniosynostosis (1 case), a set of twins with Down syndrome (1 case), agenesis of the corpus callosum (1 case), bilateral talipes (1 case), and one case of fetal malformation caused by intrauterine synechiae. The only maternal death was a 29-year-old woman with spontaneous rupture of her unscarred uterus and massive intraabdominal hemorrhage at 24 weeks of gestation. Jim Smeltzer, MD

Glad you are having good follow-up. Ectopic pregnancies are increased. The most dangerous ones are in the part of the tube entering the uterus (cornual). Growth problems, placental problems, uterine rupture are also increased.



You were very observant to get a home pregnancy test. Anyone with a tubal ligation or ablation who feels they might be pregnant should get one, it can save their life!



A word to others: DO NOT get an ablation unless you are sure you never ever ever will want another child. Other treatments are temporary and do not create nearly the risk of these procedures to hurt you and your pregnancy if you do. Jim Smeltzer, MD

Doctor's give worst and best case scenarios to many things/conditions. Just because someone gets pregnant afer having this procedure done it doesn't mean they did not take 'extra' precautions. Things happen. In this case another decision has to be made...keep the baby or not. If a woman elects to keep her child, I applaud her. If she is willing to share information in regard to her progress that can help other women...great! I think women have enough to deal with concerning health issues than to be blasted because you 'knew how dangerous this could be how could you let this happe"? It happens. I had an ablation done in 2009...5 years after divorce. I am not pregnant and have not considered it until recently when the new man in my life expressed his desire to have a child with me. No...babies do NOT make a relationship but they do establish a connection, as do other intimate things. There is NOTHING wrong with this. I encourage you to go ahead and have your baby. If God gave it to you He did for a reason. If he takes it away, He does for a reason. It is YOUR decision but I encourage you to look for info on giving birth after an ablation....not for info or advise from others on whether you should keep your baby or not.

I had an endometrial ablation in 2010, & I am 39 weeks pregnant n awaiting to have my daughter by C-section in 3 days, due to having placenta previa. Other than that it's been a pretty healthy pregnancy, n I am 43 yrs old. It was not planned, but I will welcome any blessing with open arms. I will be having a tubal as well soon after delivery.
