I just had the "Her Option" cryoablation therapy done yesterday, July 8, 2009. The cramping was more severe than I had expected, but like Diane, I too felt a sense of loss. My husband and I have 3 children, and he has already had a vasectomy over 3 years ago, so it's not like we were going to have any more children anyway. But just the finality of it all seems so depressing. I've had terrible periods and PMS symtoms all my life, but worse since my last baby, 6yrs ago. I know it is a good thing to do, especially as another option to hysterectomy, but I felt like I had sinned, somehow, and that I could not forgive myself. The severe pain only made my depression worse, and the pain meds I was given made me sick to my stomach and cause vomiting, so I stayed in pain all day and cried most of the day. Is this normal? Do you think I will feel better emotionally after my physical pain subsides?
