Has anyone had "her Option" cryo ablation procedure done for heavy bleeding,pms, cramps. I had it done four days ago and my doctor said to expect a watery discharge for about 3 weeks. I have extremely heavy bleeding and severe cramps. Is this normal?

This is an update to my original post on 10/10/11. Since my procedure on 10/05/11 everything was what the doctor said basically. Cramps discharge and such. My 1st period came about a week after and was heavy and longer. To date November December and January periods have become subsequently lighter but now last almost 7 days My Dr says in about 6 months my periods should stop. At the rate that they are going I believe he might be right. I'll update in April to let you all know what's happening.

I had the Her Option Cryoablation done 4 months ago. I had a watery discharge for a month after the procedure was done. The second month I didn't have any bleeding. The last two months I have been bleeding for three weeks out of the month. I have, what I consider, normal flow for two weeks and the third week I have been passing large clots and having to change my tampon frequently. I had the procedure done because I was bleeding heavily for a week. I know that it is supposed to take a few months for the results to appear but I am really afraid that I have made the wrong decision.

I had this done in Sept. of 2010 for all the reasons that you guys are talking about. It was not painful. Just some ibuprofen was all I needed. It seems like every month my periods would get lighter although irregular. The last 3 months there was just a tiny bit of spotting and than this month there was nothing. I am 46 and very happy with the procedure. It saved me from a hysterectomy. I was wondering if anyone knows if you still go through all the normal menapausal symptems after this.

I had the procedure done 3 weeks ago and I'm still bleeding is this normal ?

hi susan,
i just wanted to update: this month's period was also lighter than the periods i have been used to for many years. less clots and lighter too. so i am very happy about that. however, i spotted for 3 days before my period came. then i had my period for about for about 4 days. after that i spotted for like 3 more days. then it stopped. i like the fact that it only lasted 4 days. will the spotting stop? it's just annoying when it comes to being intimate. i guess i was hoping i would have no more periods at all, but i admit last month and this month was the best i ever had in many years. now if only i wouldnt spot for days!

I had this procedure done June 2011. For three months I had nothing. I thought I was going to be one of the lucky ones. Then Sept 2011 came along and I blead for 13 days. Then it stopped for 7 days. Then it started again and I've been bleeding for 23 more days. The doctor is scheduling me for a hystrectomy.

i had this procedure done early june of 2011. my periods used to be so heavy and full of many many clots. plus i would spot before and after for many days and sometimes even in between that time too. the procedure itself was pretty bad (i was awake) but i managed to get through it. i had some bleeding and watery/mucusy yellow discharge for almost 4 weeks. my period at the end of june was less heavy, but same amt of days. my period in july was a LITTLE lighter, but lasted my usual # of days (8). somewhere in that same month, i had severe cramping. i would equate it to almost the degree of labor pains. i was not able to see my doc because they were closed and i didnt want to go to ER. my august period was SO SO SO heavy with LOTS & LOTS of HUGE clots. i am used to lots of clots coming out esp during the first 3-4 days of my period. but these clots were like 4 in long!!! i finally went to my doc 3 days into that period and he sent me to the ER (mainly because i am very anemic and he didnt want me to become too low). i somehow managed to survive that month's period. my period in september was the lightest i have had in many many yrs. and there was a significant decrease in the amt of clots i had. i am anxious to see how this months period will be. i have had 4 periods since the procedure but i feel like i havent seen a huge difference. very minimal actually.

I had in done in June 2011. July no period, August period cpl days, Sept. seems like almost a week. So now sure if it wears out and is temp, but it didn't work for me. I was so looking forward to less periods and not go through this anymore, but here I go again.
