Sex after NovaSure

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.

I had my NovaSure done on Monday 11/23/15 which was 4 days ago. I'm still having light discharge but no heavy cramping or nothing like that. So far so good. I still haven't tried having sex and to be honest with you I'm scared so I'm going to wait as long as possible. I will continue to post as I progress with the healing process.

Funny had Novasure done 3yrs ago. Only complaint I have is dryness during sex. That's why they make lube. Nothing else changed but not having a period. Which is awesome! Don't let the comments scare you. It almost kept me from doing it until I found out  I know a few people who have had it done and no complaints.

Was the lining of your uterus thick or thin? Mine is thin, I'm wondering if this is the right thing for me?

Hi my name is nichole, I am thinking about getting the Novasure and I was just curious on how it is doing for you.  I have a big interest in it and would like to get a good feedback before I actually follow through with it.

So interesting to read all the comments :) did mine 17/7, all went perfectly. Cramping still but only slightly. Wish there was more info about sex after, we've tried twice but I'm still very scared I hurt myself.  Dr said to wait till bleeding stopped for sex, which I did but had slight bleeding after mild sex, so we stopped. Will wait another week or so I guess...

I had the novasure done just over one week ago! 6/6/14. I also want to say i had minimal cramping and went to work the monday after, and I resumed running 3 days after. My dr said that would be fine. I comepeted in my very first half marathon exactly 8 days after the procedure with no issues, I am 48 and so far am thrilled with the thought of NO heavy periods in my future. Every person is different and had I read these posts, I probaly would not of had the procedure done. SO happy I did not read them! I so far have had no problems!
