Sex after NovaSure

[littlegir06]

I'm probably going to have the NovaSure uterine
ablation procedure done {I hope I'm saying it correctly}. How long after the procedure will it be before I'm able to have sex? I have a new partner, and I realize it differs from woman to woman, but is there a waiting period? My new partner and I both want to know.

Hello,
Doing great don't worry and stop reading all the negative feedback. We are all different with different body issues. Novasure worked great on my body. I was afraid but my bleeding was out of control. I had huge fibroids. I  was sore , tender and in pain right afterward. Take about a week to lay around if possible. My bleeding cleared up almost immediately after procedure. I was left with brown discharge that was gone in about a week. I had a few drops of blood around my period  for first 2 months this third month nothing. Some pms but thats OKAY, I CAN HANDLE THAT..
Thank GOD for a great partner. Sex is great no pain or vaginal dryness. Do wait, just to make sure you are healed . 4/6 weeks.
Trust you doctor, ask questions. If I can help you let me know.
Good Luck..

I had a novasure ablation done May 11, 2012. Today is week 3. This first day was SOoooo bad, but as the days went by I got bettee. I still have some good days and some bad days. Some days I feel like my cycle want to come, and BOY do it hurt and make me feel really sick but NOTHING.I just have a discharge. I feel like my body is really to have sex with my hubby but my Dr said "NO" wait until 4 to 6 weeks then I can have sex. My doctor recommended that I see NO discharge before having sex with my hubby. My doctor also stated that having sex to soon can cause an infection, and I do not want that in my life. It'a physical and mental process healing from an ablation. Not long now......

How are you doing after your procedure?  I am considering having it done and many of the comments date back to 2007 and 2008.  I would like to find recent feedback.

I just had the novasure done this past Monday, May 21st.  I had it done in my doctor's office while taking some meds to make me relax and one for pain.  My doctor also prescribed a drug that softens the cervix that I started taking 2 days prior to the procedure and 800 mg of ibuprofen that I started the night before and the morning of.  I have to say the procedure was so easy for me.  My doctor was great,  talking me through every step and telling me what to expect.  I only had mild cramping until the 90 second ablation.  That was a little more painful, kind of like a mild to moderate labor pain.  He told me to take long, deep breaths and he counted down telling me how much longer it would be.  It was not bad at all. When the 90 seconds was over,  the pain was gone.  I would definately recommend the doctor's office.  It kind of takes the "scare" factor out of it.  I came home and slept all afternoon and evening - probably the drugs and really resumed my normal schedule the next day.  I only had some mild cramping the evening after and very little the day after.  I feel completely normal today other then the light discharge.  Good luck.  I hope your experience is as pleasant as mine was.

I am scheduled to have the novasure procedure May 31.  My dr said it could be done at his office (awake but with a vicodin and valium coctail) or done at hospital and be knocked out.  When I seemed more interested in the hospital my dr really made me feel I should just have it done in office.  I had a polyp removed last week and that hurt for 5 seconds I cannot imagine laying there AWAKE with that pain for the 90 seconds the procedure takes.  Has anyone been awake and can you let me know how much pain I can expect.
thanks

hi i had a balloon ablation, D&C, and hysterscopy on April 24th 2012. It felt like i was having labor pains when i came out of recovery. even then tylenol with codiene didnt help the pain and i slept for 2 days afterwards. i've been cramping every since and at 1st had clear discharge but has gotten darker and darker and has a foul odor. I went to the doctor today and she told me because she had burned the lining of my uterus( which was double the size of a normal uterus) that the discharge and odor was my body getting rid of the burnt lining. i was told wait 2 weeks to have sex but i'm going to wait till my body heals and the discharge stops. but i am curious about the oral sex. is there a different taste? will it hurt my husband? i really hope this works. she wants me to come back in 4 months.
