A.N.
I had an ablation in August, and it has helped with my heavy, painful periods, but I have still get one. For comparison sake, I used to have 9-11 day periods, with 3-4 of them so heavy that I had to back up the super tampons with pads. Oh, and the cramps used to put me on my knees! Now, I hardly have any cramps at all, and I bleed lightly (seriously, I only buy the light tampons now) for a few days. This is such an amazing improvement that I can't really complain. I was hoping I'd be one that didn't get a period at all, but that's not guaranteed. I was not interested in Mirena, because I've had enough of hormones, plus my husband had a vasectomy, as well. If this didn't work, I was seriously considering a hysterectomy so I could donate my uterus to science! I wouldn't wish the awful periods I experienced for way too long on anyone!
