I had my procedure on June 12, 2008. Cramping was minimual. Lasted into the afternoon. Doc said first period would be heavier than normal and it was. He said it could take six months for full affect. However, 6 days after the procedure, I landed in the ER with a pulmanary embolism. My doc said he had never heard of anything like that happening and I have not read anything indicating blood clots as a side effect of this procedure. A tiny clot was found in my lower left leg but I had no indications that it was there, leg pain, swelling etc. So far tests have not revealed any reason for the clot and doctors have pretty much blamed it on the birth control pills that I was taking. I am on blood thinners now for the next 6 months. I dont smoke, no history of clots on either side of my family, and I'm active and athletic. Anyone else have this problem?
