I had the exact same experience today, D and C with hysteroscopy to remove polyp and attempted Novasure ablation. Doctor was unable to perform ablation because, as she told my husband while I was in recovery and then dashed off, my cervix was too big. I have never heard of such a thing. I've had two uncomplicated pregnancies with vaginal deliveries of average sized babies and have never been told that I have any cervical/uterine abnormalities. She suggested to him I might try another procedure in her office, which I'm assuming is Her Option since we discussed it prior to the D and C. At the time she said she preferred Novasure. In doing some research after I got home I've uncovered a lot of info which is making me think twice about attempting the Her Option, or any ablation for that matter. I will wait and see if the D and C helps with the heavy periods/clotting. I am 52 and menopause can't come soon enough, but I refuse to have hysterectomy unless it is for cancer. Feeling somewhat disappointed in my doctor since she made it sound like the D and C and Novasure would solve all my problems. I didn't go into this lightly, as one of her colleagues suggested ablation about five years ago when my periods weren't nearly as bad, but I declined when I read about the possible risk of perforation.
