[QUOTE="bby31288, post: 260227, member: 182"] I had this done back in October, and with wonderful results. My dr. did it in day stay in the hospital. I am 42. I have had a period since. First he did the biopsy about 2 weeks before. The day of the procedure they did a complete D&C to thin out the lining then the ablation. I was crampy for a few days, nothing major. I was in and out of day stay in about 4 hours, and went for lunch at a restaurant right after we left the hospital. My dr. said it is good for about 4-5 years. Usually at that point the patient is in peri menopause or total menopause and nature takes over. He did say they don't usually do it a second time because at that point the uterus is very thin and the chance of rupturing thru the wall is higher. So if the ablation does not work the next step would be a hystro. Now, keep in mind some insurance companies require the ablation first to see if that will take care of the problem before they authorize a hystro. Good luck. It has helped me so much. [/QUOTE]
