After an ablation

I had the endometrial ablation done on March 5, 2010.  I also had a fibroid removed from my uterus.  I never had "heavy" bleeding, just very irregular periods.  Not a lot of cramping either.  So here I am almost three months later and the cramps I am having with no pattern are making me CRAZY.  I am on birth control because the ablation is not pregnancy proof.  So I'm not sure if its the pill (never has been in the past) or the ablation that is causing these cramps.  They are very annoying.  I take ibuprofen everyday it seems like.  I can't stand it anymore.  Anyone else? Have I not given it long enough? Or am I going to end up with a hysterectomy if I want a NORMAL life?

whooops did not answer important part of your ? sorry,,,there is not a reason to fear hysterectomy at this point...and if you are taking otc pain meds some say its a good idea to alternate motrin w tylenol. ask your dr of corse...you may need stronger pain meds..if you get narcotics be cardful they are very constapating...ask for stool softners too.

Hi there welcome to our forum

I would advise you to see your gyn..honestly in my opinion its not normal...heres my thoughts of possibilitys

1. addhesions
2, scar tissue
3, ovarian problems ..cysts
4, maybe that pill just is not right for your anatomy/chemistry

Im sorry your going through such a rough time...If your reg gyn dont help please get another or if its really bad one night go to er,.,,,,they will test you .

Id think you need a transvaginal ultrasound as well as a reg pelvic ultrasound.

big hugs.

feel better..Im here for you any questions...feel welcome to pm me.
