Hi Karen,Hope today is a better day for you. My third PAP (post Ablation Period) began a few days ago, and it seems to be a little lighter than the previous ones. If this is how they are going to be, I can deal with it. At least they are happening every 28 days like they are supposed to instead of a constant hemmorage (sp).I thought recovery would be faster too. They always tell you it'll take a while, but I guess we really buy into that "Superwoman" stuff, don't we? I wouldn't mind a long recovery if it meant an end to IBS, though. Yes, I go to the Ablation site once in a while, and the women there are truly amazing. Keep resting, hun, and please keep me posted on your recovery when you are feeling up to it. You are in my prayers.hugs to you!Peace,Valerie
