Novasure ~ How well is it working? ~ Part 2
Feb 25 '07
The Bottom Line Don't let your body run your life! Talk to your dr about Novasure TODAY!
Over a month ago, I told my story on how my cycles were controlling my life and what I did to change that. I explained how the Novasure procedure is done (or should be done) and immediate "effects" I had afterwards.
It's now been 1 month and 15 days since I had the Novasure procedure done and I'm feeling GREAT! For the most part, right after the outpatient Novasure procedure I had minor cramping (I hardly used my pain meds), very minor discharge (pantyliners worked very well), and bloating for about 2 weeks. The bloating was due to the "hysteroscopy" done first in the Novasure process. I can honestly say that it was well worth it. No complications, no messy period, and no PMS symptoms (whew). I am on cloud nine so to speak because I feel normal again.
After reading some other information about this procedure I have noticed several women saying the procedure didn't work for them. But I also noticed that these women had other "issues" that effected the outcome in my eyes. I'm not a dr by no means, so I'm only forming my opinion here on what I've read. Most women with fibroids or polyps on their uterus have found that this procedure didn't work well on them.
My problem only consisted of heavy periods and severe cramping. I also noticed that before I had the procedure done, there were times I would get up to walk -I felt like my whole insides (sorry for the guys reading this) were about to FALL OUT ONTO MY FEET! Literally, I thought my whole uterus was falling out of my body right before my eyes. I had such bad pains it would bring tears to my eyes and I would grip whatever I could closest to me to regain my balance. This is also pretty personal to say (but it's part of the woman's anatomy) but I also had painful sex since I had my first child. I noticed now after having Novasure done, I have had NONE of these pains.
All in all the Novasure has worked VERY WELL for me. I am now completely FREE of pain, PMS, AND periods. I can't say that I will never have a cycle again, that is one question I will have to ask my doctor. I am scheduled to go back to my gynocologist for my check up on March 15th. Now that I have been cycle free for over a month, I've been really spoiled! I'm not so sure I want my period back...haha!
Is Novasure right for you? I can't answer that question for everyone. This procedure is something ONLY you and your gynecologist can discuss and weigh all options. Mainly, my purpose here is to tell you what Novasure has done for me. So far, I am a very happy patient! I will try to keep this updated as much as possible and if any of you out there would like to contact me personally to talk about Novasure, I will be more than happy to talk to you-just shoot me an email.
If you have just recently had Novasure done, PLEASE PLEASE ( I can't stress this enough ) DO AS YOUR DOCTOR RECOMMENDS! No baths, no tampons, no sex for at least 2 weeks! Limit your activity as you feel necessary. Do NOTHING for 24 hours AFTER the procedure. I honestly believe that helped me heal as fast I did - I listened to my doctor's instructions.
I truly feel that I have my life and body back under control after Novasure!
Until next time....
