Hello, I am actually schedule for this on the 15th as I have 5 fibroids with some in the lining of my uterus. Having a monthly period has been extremely painful and has also caused IBS to flair each month due to the perscription medication that I have to take to help control the bleeding and pain. I opted for an ablation as I could not stomach birth control pills and did not want to have a hysterectomy performed as I am only 42. For me this was the next step as I living the way I was definitely impacted my life a week each month and I did not know how bad I would bleed, so I had to really plan my work around my life. I hope you find your answer as I really waited until I could not handle it anymore and hope this will be my answer....at least until I hit menopause!
