However I did need the ablation which I had done approximately 4 years ago with great results. My extreme periods were now very light and still like clockwork I have my periods every month, normally 26 days apart.....until Jan 18. I have now started my period but unlike the 2 1/2 day period I was having it's very heavy and doesn't seem like it will stop. I will call my doctor on Monday, however I have heard of the excellent results from your clinic and was wondering if you could offer some advise. Thank you.

No medical issues at all, except for heavy, long lasting periods. I bled/had a discharge, requiring a pantyliner, every single day, and had a backache, and pain in my tailbone, for 4 months straight, until my GYN put me on hormone therapy for 30 days. 30 days estrogen plus 14 days of progesterone the second half of the month. The bleeding stopped after that, but as of 7 days ago, a year since the procedure, I have started bleeding, again, nonstop, and having cramps, pressure, bloating, and a dull burning ache in my right side, requiring using something beyond a pantyliner. Had I known what "could" happen, or that it could fail, I would not have chosen to have the Novasure Ablation procedure done. PLEASE, check all the facts, and read as many message boards as you can before going ahead with this procedure. I had the Novasure Ablation in Sept 2010, at the age of 46.

Is it possible that I could need another one . Has that happened before with any other ablations ?

A year after my period returned and was very light. About 2 nonths ago I began spotting for weeks and it seems as though the periods have stopped with just spotting. Worried it could be more than a failed ablation. I had an ablation 3 years ago. A year after my period returned and was very light.

I was wondering if that goes away once you have ablasion or if I could still have it. I am having a very difficult time losing any weight and have wiskers growing on my chin. I was on metaformin for a while but when I went to a different Specialists for the heavy bleeding he dismissed the pcos.

Do I need to give it more time or should I be concerned? I had the Novasure procedure done in April and initially had very light periods.
