My ablation went very well. I had general anaesthesia for it. I felt like I had angry weasels in my uterus the first afternoon that I had it. It was kind of like how a burn can feel, but was inside. They gave me naproxen for the pain. I basically just dozed on the sofa the first day. I still have a period (almost two years later) but it's so light that I can get away with a panty liner even on my "heavy" day.

I had had an ultrasound before the procedure and I had a thick uterine lining. I also had tried the Mirena and was absolutely miserable on it.

The first few months after my ablation my period was kind of erratic and there were times when I wasn't sure if I was going to stop spotting, but it did finally straighten itself out. My PMS symptoms are much less and I have a period about every 3-4 weeks.
