Anyone had an Ablation?!

Anyone had an ablation done so they don’t have periods anymore?!
Worried about the side effects of stopping that natural cycle, but also interested in all the facts, experiences and pros / cons.

I have not had one, but did look into it as (post kids) my periods are extremely heavy. One of the cons is they may only last around 5 years, so it could come back (before menopause). I also take a more holistic approach and worry about the negative effects of stopping that natural cycle.
This year I started seeing a functional medicine doctor and started trying hormone replacement therapy. I also started some iron supplements as anemia can actually cause heavy periods. My periods are soooo much better since I've gone this route. Good luck Mama! -
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I had issues getting pregnant and went through all the things. After having 2 children my body went into overdrive and I spent more time on my period than off. My dr recommended an ablation… super easy procedure, no down time, never looked back. I have had a few months where my body tried REALLY hard to have a period again… intense cramps and back pain, but manageable. I spoke with my dr last annual and they said track it, in case it becomes more frequent. I haven’t felt the need to do so, so all in all I’d call it a success.

I had one. Best thing ever! No issues or periods again. It does not stop your natural cycle. You still ovulate normally and could technically get pregnant. I feel some PMS symptoms but my worst ones were bleeding. It removes the tissue lining of your uterus that makes you bleed.
