I had mine done in July, 2008. Just went for my 6 month check up. My dr. looked at my card I had to fill out every month to keep track of my periods. He asked me if I was happy with the results, which I am not 100% BUT my periods are only heavy for about a day and a half, only have to change my tampon every 3 hours instead of every hour. He said I could have the ablation done again or have a hysterectomy or wait it out until menopause as I am 50. He said it was up to me, whatever I wanted to put up with or have done. He did say everyone is different and this procedure works differently with everyone. I just wasn't one of the lucky ones. I would probably have the ablation done again vs the hysterectomy. It was very uncomfortable and I remember just wanting to brush his hands away and tell him to stop. It didn't really hurt just irritating. I will have to think about it, probably until spring and see what I want to do. Has anyone out there had it done a second time? If so, did it work any better?
