Pregnancy after Endometrial Ablation
I am looking for more info on pregnancy after an endometrial ablation. I had an ablation in May 2002. January 2003 I was not feeling well and went to the family doctor. She thought it may be an ectopic pregnancy since I was told I was sterile. I had an ultrasound to discover it was an interuterine pregnancy and I was about 9 weeks. I am now 17 weeks and for the past month trying to decide to terminate or continue. I am having a very hard time finding any info on any one with this happening to them and the risks to me or my unborn child. I have seen several doctors and none of them have ever heard of this happening and 2 have suggested termination. I have an appointment with a high risk specialist on Thursday (02/27/03). Please tell me where I can find more info or who to contact. Thanks.
Can I get pregnant after having microabilation done 5 years ago and the essure procedure also done 5 years ago.
I had the Novasure ablation done at 24. I have absolutely no regrets about it. I also had a tubal-ligation done as well (both tubes fully removed and the tips left burned). If a woman has any uncertainty regarding having children then she should definitely rethink her decision. I have been trying to get my tubes tied since the age of 17. It was such a relief to wake up and have it finally done. Well wishes to you as well
Not true at all. I just turned 24 in May of 2015 and had an endometrial ablation, tubal-ligation, D&C and polyp removal on June 18th 2015. Best decision I have ever made! It's been almost 8 months post op and no bleeding, little pain, minimal flare ups. I have 1 child who is 20 months today, I knew i didn't want anymore (never been married and im single) hope all is well with you today
My story is the exact same as yours. I've been looking all over for someone who will be a good doctor and tell me the truth. Good luck in your journey!!

I had a tubal and ablation 2 years ago. Things were not really great in my relationship with my husband and my son has some behavioral issues that I felt overwhelmed with my one child. It was the right decision at the time.
Things have now changed and I feel I should be completing my family which I felt was complete 2 years ago. My heart is being torn out of my chest because I really regret with every ounce of my being my decision to have these proceedures done. I really am just grabbing at straws right now for a way to reverse what has been done.
I see women who are successful at conceiving post ablation and women who have found specialists to help regrow the lining of their uterus. I would love more info, I have no idea of any specialist in my area, I would drive at this point to find help. I would love names of specific dr's that would be willing to help me. I'd also love to hear how much the procedures to try to reverse and conceive costs.
I have an appointment to get something for this deep depression I have setting in and probably will have my hormone levels checked so I am going to bring up things that I've seen on here to my dr..
I feel like the dumbest person on the planet right now because of having this procedure done!

Whew..I finally read through ALL of the posts on this thread. It took me over a week to do it, but I'm so glad that I did. Such inspiring stories, and also such heartache. I'm truly grateful for each of you taking the time to share your personal experience.
My husband and I currently have 5 children. In Oct. 2011, when my youngest was 6 months old, I had the NovaSure ablation due to horrendous periods that started postpartum. I really wish I'd researched other non-invasive options before having it, BUT when you're miserable, you get desperate and want that quick-fix. :-/
In order to have the ablation, I had to agree to a Tubal Ligation or my husband to a Vas. I chose the tubal, so he wouldn't need to have any surgery. Anyhow, after the procedures, my period returned right on time the following month. It was MUCH better than it had been the previous 6 months. It basically was back to how it had been before my 5th child. (2 heavy/med days then 3 med/light days)
Fast forward to now.. I really want to have the Ligation reversed, due to some PTLS (post tubal ligation syndrome) symptoms, and of course to keep the possibility of more children open.
However, I'm only considering it because my endometrium may still be sufficient enough to sustain a baby.
I have an appt with my new OB/GYN on May 20th to discuss having a saline sono or a hysteroscopy to get a better look at my endometrium.
According to my vaginal sono last June, it was measuring 12mm on cycle day 21, which seems normal and healthy. BUT as we all know, after an ablation, you can have healthy "patches", which are misleading on a traditional or vaginal sono.
I really want to make sure my lining is in good shape before moving forward with the reversal. Meanwhile, I DID find a reversal Dr. who approved me for the surgery, even though I've had an ablation. So if I can get the go ahead from an OB/GYN, we are going to have it reversed. :)
Sorry this ended up being a journal..lol..if you stuck with it this long, bless you ;)
Looking foward to getting to know you all. God Bless!

Dear blessedintexas. You posted this back in 2015. I am in your same situation now. 2017. I am wondering if you were ever able to locate a specialist, get a reversal and have another child or not. Can you please share your experience with me as I would also like to have an Oblasion reversed in order to possibly conceive again. Thank you so much for any advice.
