I had my procedure done this past wednesday 10/05/11. Immediately after there was some bleeding and cramping but that subsided by the next morning and then I had a light watery discharge with a tinge blood and the passage of small pieces of tissue. Last night I started spotting and this morning I was bleeding heavily until some tissue past then became light. Is this a period? My period is due next week. a friend had it done a few years back. She said after a few months all she gets is some spotting that last a few hours.

I had it done about 6 weeks ago. Watery discharge for 3 weeks. My first period was about 1 or 2 weeks after the procedure and it was extremely light. I started again at my normal time (I take birth control for emotional stability so I knew it was coming). Seems to be about the same as it was - maybe not as heavy but pretty close. I have been very bloated since the procedure but my doctor says it has nothing to do with it. Procedure itself went fine - I was put to sleep in the office and had virtually no pain afterwards. I went home and went to sleep on a heating pad and I think that was the best thing I could have done. The pain pills made me sick so I didn't even take them. After the first couple of hours on the heating pad I had no cramps at all. Hoping this gets better. My doc told me it could take up to a year for the actual results to be seen.

I agree....DON'T do it. A friend of mine was telling me her doctor suggested it to her and she said "no way" after my experience.

I had it done one month ago, not happy at all, 3weeks into this i had pain, pressure and they had to reopen the uterus lining to take out blood and clots that were backing up into my uterus. it was like having a baby with no baby, what a major mess, GROSS. now i'm still bleeding, pain on the right side and it truly sucks , I wish that they will now take my uterus I don't need it, thinking of a second opinion. I went from having my period 7 days or more heavy with clots to bleeding every day for a month. What gives. Don't do it!!!!!

I think I might be one of the lucky girls who after this procedure will no longer have periods. I had mine done on 6-13-2011. I had the three week watery thing then nothing. It's been 38 days since the surgery and no period. Is it too early to celebrate?

Hi, I was just wondering how you doing after her option? I got mine done yesterday and today I read all these horror stories. I’m pretty freaked out. Would love to hear about your experience. Thanks so much for your time.

I had this procedure in 2010. It was a horrible experience for me. The pain was unbearable since i had a tilted uterus and the doctor had punctured my uterus and small bowel which was left untreated for 4 weeks. I had terrible pain for these 4 weeks and my doctor just said for me to rest and it was normal. I ended up in the ER septic, with peritonitis. I almost lost my life due to the infection. I required open surgery to clean the infection, had a bowel resection and my appendix removed due to the infection. I stayed in the hospital for a week and recovered at home for over 8 weeks. It has been over 6 months and I am still in pain from adhesion's that have developed and now have bowel problems. Please be careful and make sure you are prepared for the worst. If your doctor doesn't help you don't wait, go to the ER immediately! My doctor insisted I was ok and told me "DO NOT GO TO THE ER" she said they would not understand what was causing my pain. I should had gone to the ER as soon as I knew something wasn't right.

I don't know how you dealt with the pain for 4 weeks. The unbearable pain started the night after the procedure...I couldn't even stand up. My husband insisted I go to the ER. The other problem was that the doctor that did the resection messed up. When he was putting my intestines back in, he "snagged" another piece on a staple. I had a second surgery 10 days after the 1st. Which was after I was septic for the 2nd time and 2 more CT scans.
