I just had the HerOption done yesterday. I am 41 and have had heavy periods all of my life, but within the last year I have had alot of clotting also. With irregular cycles, I also had a fibroid and 2 polyps.
The procedure itself was really no big deal, but my doctor had me take 10mg of Valium before the procedure, I guess I'm one of those few people who valium doesn't affect, but they did give me a pain injection before the procedure. It was slightly uncomfortable but with the hope that it lessens the bleeding I say it was definately worth it. I have had bleeding yesterday, but much lighter today. My DR said I have a 60% chance it will stop my periods alltogether, or it should lessen them if nothing else. But I have heard that this procedure did nothing for other people?? Also taking antibiotics so not to risk infection. The gross watery discharge will last for 2-3 weeks.
I say go for it, it definately worth a try!! I didn't even take pain meds perscribed just motrin and a heating pad. Good Luck
