Oh yeah???? Well FUCK YOU TOO!

Q. How does the HTA System work?
A. First, your cervix will be slightly dilated to allow the introduction of the telescope through the vagina, into the cervix and then into the uterus. This gives your gynecologist a view of the inside of your uterus to assure proper positioning. Then, your uterus will be filled with room temperature saline solution to gently clean and flush the uterus. The fluid will be gradually heated to 90ºC and circulated in the uterus for ten minutes in order to treat the endometrium (lining of the uterus). When the treatment is complete, the uterus will be flushed with room temperature saline to cool the uterus and the probe. Your uterine lining has been treated and will slough off similar to a menstrual period over the next few weeks.

 All I can say is it BETTER NOT LAST MUCH MORE THAN A FEW WEEKS.  This is getting REAL old, REAL fast.

I didn't have the HTA but had an endometrial ablation and I tell you it was the smartest thing I have ever done. Didn't have a period for 2 months and since then have yet to have to use a super or plus sized tampon.

life changing I tell ya!

This is what I had done back in May. I've been hit or miss spotting ever since, and this is my second bout of cramps and almost-a-period. I realllly thought all that would be over. For evah.

sounds like the GYN version of waterboarding

Somebody better cough up some *serious* drugs before I would consent to this! I had two endrometrial (sp?) biopsies - during the first one I turned pale and almost passed out. Afterwards I told that doctor he was a motherfucking sadist (my exact words) if he did not give me something to take before the second one a few months later. He did. It still hurt like hell, but I didn't CARE!

God, it's so hard to be a woman sometimes!

Well, I had the spinal block when I had the thing done back in May. (And he took a snippy sample before that right there on his exam table. That was HORRIBLE.)

I'm really getting pissed because I foolishly thought that I'd be DONE with spotting. And all that other girl stuff. I'm only now beginning to realize that since he didn't do away with my ovaries, I'm still going through hormonal hell. AND spotting.

I think my uterus just turned in on itself out of fear as I was reading this.

A few weeks?!? Oh no. No no no no no no no!

[sapphirescarlet.livejournal.com]

It's off and on, spotty as a pony. And driving me nuts, because it's too often, and no way to anticipate, so I have to either guard against it every day, or be eternally prepared (at which I SUCK).

I was foolish enough to think that once I had this done, EVERYTHING would be bye-bye for EVER. I didn't realize it would take weeks to get rid of all the extra stuff lying around.

I was naive and shocked to find out about all the bleeding that comes after childbirth. Not having a period was so wonderful for all those months of pregnancy, but to have to make up for all those missed ones at once? Somehow I stupidly also thought that having a c-section would eliminate the bleeding. Nope! But at least I was on the low end of the spectrum and only bled about a week and a half. That's still about 3 times longer than a regular period for me.

All that TMI just to say that I can't imagine going through that. When I'm not on the pill I'm irregular, and that causes enough anxiety.

I have to admit that if this is going to be the norm for the next few weeks, but I still get no periods afterward? It will have been worth it. My periods were hell. Just plain old hell.

You know, I remember being SO relieved to go without a period for all those months! I wasn't too pleased to see them come back then, either.

I didnt know such a procedure existed. I don't need it anymore with my amenorrhea - but i wish i would've known about this years ago. I hope the cramping and "surprise your on your kind of on your period!" shit stops soon.

[sapphirescarlet.livejournal.com]

I hope it ends soon too. I did a little "stuff" yesterday and moved it along some. Eh. I don't even wanna talk about it. bleh

Fuck fuck fuck...

Owwies.

I'm imagining having a tube fed in and warm milk applied... squicky.
