Pregnancy after Endometrial Ablation

[bridget14]

I did have a period after my ablation.  It was more like spotting and only lasted about 3 days.  I didn't have one every four weeks......it was very irregular.  Sometimes it would be 4 wks...or 6 wks...or 8 wks.  Most of the people I read about getting pregnant DID have a period.

No!!! I didn't have a single period for well over a year.  I wouldn't have had ANY idea that I was pregnant except for the fact that I couldn't stop VOMITING!!! : )

Just an update, I haven't been on in a while, I had a procedure on Feb 8th to reverse my tubes, however, while my ob was in there he looked at my uterus and ofcourse my likelihood of becoming pregnant after a reversal and decided it was not feasable. The doctor that did my tubal had placed 2 clips in different spots on each tube which didn't leave enough tube to repair and the lining of my uterus was pretty much scar tissue so we didn't do anytihng, my ob refunded me the money for the reversal and we've decided to move on, At least now we KNOW that there's not a chance in conceiving naturally. Just wanted to update everyone

As I said before it has been a little over 3 years since my ablation, and my uterus had collapsed because of the scar tissue. Well my OB reopened my uterus and removed all of the scar tissue and said my lining looks great now that all of the scar tissue is removed, and he said with hormone treatment it should continue to grow normally now. He has me on estradiol for a month, and then I'm supposed to take Provera for a week, and continue this treatment for 3 months. He said now he just has to get me to start having a monthly cycle, because if I don't my uterus could collapse again. He did say that my uterine lining was healthy enough to support a pregnancy, but without having a period it was unlikely I would get pregnant. He said the hormone treatment should work, because this is the treatment they give to women with irregular periods. Has anyone been on this treatment to help with conception or to restore periods?

so, Ive been on bedrest.. but I can't stay down. I got told I have to have the baby early and there is a high chance I'll have to have a bloode transfusion. I'm just a tad stressed out!

[bridget14]

I'm thinking about you and pray that everything ends up being ok.  How soon do they think they'll take the baby......you are only 20 some weeks aren't you?  getting close to 30? I hope both you and baby will be ok.

I am about 27 weeks now. They want to check her lungs at 36 weeks. People keep asking me if I am going to get the shot for her lungs to develope faster... I think it's steroids. The Dr.s have said nothing about this to me. My husband says I shouldn't. I think letting her develope in her own time is best aswell.  She is growing good!

I have been pretty sick with a cold and it wont go away! I think I need to get back to the Dr.I had a shot of penacelin 5 days ago and it hasn't helped. I'm worried my immune systom is going down.

Thank you for your prayers, I need them. And it's nice to know I'm beeing thought of.
How are you doing?

Hi! : )

I'm pretty much neck and neck with you, as far as due dates go...i'm 25 weeks along now, and things have been pretty uneventful (as in...you know...the pregnancy being "normal").  How were things progressing for you when you had to go on bed rest?  How were things for you, period?  

I ask...because...I'm just worried that with everything going as well as it is, that one day I'll just wake up...and something horrendous will be going on...

It's good to be in contact with someone going though the same stuff... : )

[A_Miracle]

---Oh, yeah!  I'm having a girl, too! : )

[A_Miracle]

Oh, shoot.  I meant to ask YOU all of that! : )

[christel79]

LOL... It's alright. I read all the new posts, so no big deal.

I was put on bed rest at 8 weeks... and then about 25 weeks and then again a few weeks ago. I'm sick of it.  The Dr's say I have to stay on bed rest till I have my c-section in a few weeks. Unless my placenta previa goes away and then I can have a normal birth.

After my ablation I still had heavy 9 day long periods. I was always bleeding threw my pants...sometimes 5 times a day. I have never been able to wear tampons...always pads. It was aweful. I have to have my uterus out after I have the baby. There is a lot higher of a risk doing it at the same time I have the c-section because of all the extra blood flow, but... I don't want to waite and have another surgery. SO I'm thinking I am going to just get it all over with at the same time.

Congrats on the the baby girl! Your not far behind me. How is your pregnancy going? Are you feeling pretty good or are you having problems to? I feel good for the most part. I have noticed that I have a lot more contractions when I'm laying down... or it seems that way. Are you having  any contractions yet? I've had them since I was 20 weeks.

Keep in touch. It's good to hear how others are doing. Good Luck!

hello i had an endometrial ablation in '06 and am newly married, i have no tubes and one ovary, i was not informed about pregnancy after an ablation, is there anyone out there who can tell me if there is a possibility of in vitro to get pregnant after an ablation is done? thank you for all anyone can do to help with the info i need

Hello all, newbie here!  I'm 35 years old and had the Thermachoice ablation in November 2004.  I have 2 children from my previous marriage.  I remarried & my husband has 3 children.  

We are hoping to conceive a child of our own.  I've had regular periods beginning the month after the ablation...like clockwork.  The success stories on here are very encouraging!  However, we've been together for almost 3 years, using no protection, & no pregnancy yet.  Of course, he's military & we've been apart more than we've been together!  ;)))

Just curious as to who's had Thermachoice & your results.  I think it was Thermachoice....the doctor used the balloon instead of laser.

Oh, and I had a transvaginal ultrasound about 2 years ago.  Back then it was showing my lining measurements around 8.5mm.

Looking forward to the journey with you gals!  :o)

Need some advice.  Had ablation 2005.  Still had light periods for one day.  Now I am 16 days late but home pregnancy tests have been negative.  Could etopic or tubal pregnancies take longer to show positive results?  Are the pregnancy symptoms different with tubal or etopic?  Please help
