Four years ago I had endometrial ablation surgery. For the first year, I had no menstrual bleeding. After that I would have a low flow cycle every couple of months. The cycle wasn't my concern. It was the severe cramping and abdominal pain. It has progressively gotten worse over the last year and a half. Recently I was told that I have post endometrial ablation syndrome. Apparently my uterus and tubes are filling up with blood each time I have my cycle. The pain is intense and my doctor has informed me that the only real solution is a hysterectomy. I wished I had just had that in the first place and not let my previous doctor talk me into ablation. It definitely wasn't the perfect solution the doctor told me it would be. I'm very disappointed that women were used as guinea pigs for this procedure and now we are paying the price for it.

I had ablation in 2011. Since then some pain at odd times like menstrual cramps and some light bleeding. My main problem is weight gain. I run every day and walk miles. I eat less and I still can't seem to lose a pound.

I had an endometrial ablation a year and a half ago with no success. I have had severe cramping to where I can't move either. My periods have never stopped, though they are not as bad. The light blood is darkish black and fowl smelling. The cramps are only alleviated by pain medications, but the doctors do not listen to me and think it's all in my head. So, I have gotten a second opinion after the first doctor wanted to do a full hysterectomy, only two months after the endometrial ablation. Now they say I have post ablation syndrome with adenomyosis. Really? Ask lots of questions before ever having an endometrial ablation.

I had ablation done 10 days ago and now I am having sharp pains in pelvic area. I may have overworked myself by lifting toddlers at work. I go to the doctor and I hope everything will be okay.

I am 44 yrs old and I had ablation surgery three yrs ago. For the first year and a half I thought it was the greatest thing ever. Then I started having pain so severe a few days straight out of every month. Like a period without the blood every month. I went through various tests with no conclusive results. My gynecologist told me what she "thinks" is happening is that the blood has to go somewhere and it is trying to push through scar tissue and that she wouldn't be surprised if I starting spotting again soon.

I am 42 years old and had my endometrial ablation done eight years ago. I haven't had menstruations since then. About two years ago, I started cramping once a month for about three days in a row. The doctor prescribed some meds for the pain due to the fact it was so severe. About six weeks ago, I found out I have a cyst on one of my ovaries. This morning, I started my period out of the blue. What a shock, as I was told that if it was a success, six months following my procedure that I would never have my periods again!

I had my Endometrial Ablation procedure done about 5 years ago. My recovery time was minimal. At the time I thought it was the best thing ever because my very heavy bleeding had stopped. I had no bleeding or menstrual symptoms at all until about 3 years ago. The cramping was so bad that I could hardly move for a few days and kept me up all night. Then about 3 months ago, I started having periods again! Not heavy like before but more severe cramping than before! Am very disappointed the procedure wasn't as permanent as I was led to believe because I was told that if after a year I did not restart with a menstrual cycle, that I would not be getting it again.

I had the procedure done almost a year ago - BEST THING EVER! I went from very regular heavy periods to no period at all. My recover time was minimal (just took it easy for the weekend and then light activity for 4 weeks). I occasionally still have minor PMS months but nothing like before. I have 2 teenage girls in my house so once a month it was crazy at my house as we all cycle together - it is great being off that emotional roller coaster :)

I had an ablation about 3 1/2 years ago and have had no problems up until now. Over the last 2 months I have had very painful cramping to the point that I couldn't move. I just laid on the couch curled up in a ball. My doctor now thinks that I need a hysterectomy. I don't know if I would get it done again, but not having a period has been great!
