Has anyone had "her Option" cryo ablation procedure done for heavy bleeding,pms, cramps. I had it done four days ago and my doctor said to expect a watery discharge for about 3 weeks. I have extremely heavy bleeding and severe cramps. Is this normal?

I had Her Option perfomed mid september 2010. IT DID NOT WORK. I continue to have monthly periods that last 14-16 days with 3 days of them so heavy flowing , I cannot leave my house. Doctor told me to give it to March, 2 more months... I am ready for a hysterectomy.

I had the cryoablation done a week ago. I am no longer bleeding but I am having the watery discharge with occasional tissue passing. The actual procedure was not bad, uncomfortable because of the full bladder and the pressure of the sonogram so the doc could see what was happening. I was not expecting the severe cramping that did feel like childbirth for about a half an hour after the procedure. I had bad cramping that felt like back labor. I went home and napped for about an hour and felt much better. The next day there was a snow storm, I was out shoveling, no problem! I am praying I am one of the lucky ones who have NO bleeding in the future. Will repost in a few months to let you know.

I had this procedure done in the spring of 2002. It did not work for me as I got my period just a few weeks later and have had it ever since. That is, up until about a year and a half ago. My periods were almost as frequent and heavy after I had it done as they were before, until about 18 months ago. They began to get lighter and further apart to the point that I only have one maybe 3 or 4 times per year. I have currently gone 6 months without one. I am 44 years old. I was wondering if this is due to my age or the procedure? Can it have effects such as this when it was done that long ago?

Had the proceedure about 3 hours ago...was not asleep but that "twilight" sleep which I could hear everything but did'nt feel any pain, just alittle discomfort. The proceedure took about 20 min. Afterwards I had cramping, not severe but cramping. I took 3 advils and was better within 20 min. I came home and went to sleep for about an hour, when I woke up I was absolutly fine...so fine that my husband and I did alittle Christmas shopping. There is a bloody discharge but not bad, I just changed the pad from this morning and did'nt really have to. So far so good, I will blog again in a few days...

Yesterday I had the insert to dialate me for the proceedure today, Just alittle uncomfortable last night, I don't feel it at all today. I did not realize I would be sedated today so I cannot eat or drink anything starting at 12 midnight last night...I want my coffee!! I will post when it is over...I had asked my Dr. yesterday about what to expect afterwards, she told me watery discharge she told me the longer it lasts the more dead cells are being removed which is a good thing...see you on the other side!!

I had this procedure done Dec. 2, 2010 and it went fine. Minimal cramping during insertion, then none at all. We all carried on a conversation during the whole time. I expected to feel bad afterward but I could have gotten up and gone to work! I read in bed for 4 hrs and then did light housework and was on my feet already with only a light pink discharge. Then I started a light period 4 days later which has continued. I have some clots now and then too. My big question is how long will this last. I did this so I could travel to and around India without one whole suitcase devoted to industrial strength feminine products! Now reading this thread I have the heebiejeebies but the trip is paid for and 16 days away! I am determined to enjoy myself and have a light or no period! That, or embarrass myself in a foreign country with no Starbucks on every corner and questionable loos in the outlying areas? Oh, bloody hell!!??
The one thing that really bothers me in all the research & reading and experimenting that I've done on myself is how this is such an inexact science. We all clearly have endocrine involvement in our issue and yet SO LITTLE SCIENCE has been devoted to our albatross!! If a man's penis had this problem, you can be damn sure there'd be a little blue pill by now AND a cute commercial to go with it AND a race car!!!!! Please ladies, as a person in research I urge you to DEMAND more scientific research into women's health issues. We have to get past this period thing being an issue of shame and not talked about. It has to be acknowledged how many women are inconvenienced to badly suffering from this and it has to be solved, not poked at and the only choice being to not be fertile any longer. We have to get on OPRAH before she quits!! When I read that women in their 20's and 30's are suffering this, I cry, I really do. You don't deserve to have to go thru life like this. I'm still very very active in my 40's or I was before this plague showed up and I'm mad!! I am anemic and I want to keep skiing, hiking, traveling, rollerblading, and yes, having sex, etc. But for you younger chicks, this is TOTALLY unfair.
I'm hoping this works for me, but feel bad that the procedure hasn't helped others and wonder. How much more of this am I going to be forced to grit my teeth and take, grumpily and pissed off at my fellow scientists for ignoring. And I wish you guys had not removed the names of the supplements above. I am curious what works for others and skeptical enough to consider it spam.

I am having this procedure next week. I have to say even after reading all the negative comments, I am alittle worried now, but I can only hope that this will at least help lessen my periods. I will post after the procedure and in the weeks that follow.
