Ablation, sleeve, now periods? What gives?



Recommended Posts

I had the NovaSure procedure done in May of 2012. After the ablation I had immediate relief from painful periods and haven't had a period since then.

I was sleeved July 2013 and in the last month have started having slight bleeding and cramping. Basically, I'm getting my period again.

Anyone have a similar experience or have any idea why this is happening?

I had nova sure oct 2010. Had a period the next month...following month I had two periods. I was a nova sure failure for sure. Had a hysterectomy in May of 2012 after nearly non stop periods again.

It is possible to still get periods after nova sure. Go in and talk to your obgyn.

I had Nova in April 2012. No periods after that until one small period after I was sleeved. Since then, back to nothing/spotting.

gomekast is correct when she says that you can still get your periods after as many women do. Your ob/gyn will likely have some good information for you.

Thanks for your responses. I knew I could get periods after the NovaSure procedure but thought it was strange that I didn't for over a year and then started to only after I was sleeved.

Mirabelle, I also had the same problem, I was almost two years out from my ablation and ended up having to have a hysterectomy due to adenomyosis, which was made worse by the ablation. Best to get it checked with the obgyn :)

good luck

It is probably from the release of estrogen stored in fat cells as they are breaking down and shipping out.
