    Yours was done a little differently from the ones I've seen where they do it blindly - just through the cervix (no incision at the belly button to put a camera in, although I can see why they would do it). Makes sense now.

    The way that I will have it done is WITHOUT any incision. I was confused by Zen's comment too.

    I guess I'm going ahead with it. I can't seem to get any more info. Just want to get it done!!

    I haven't had one but my niece did. She's not a rider but her recovery was very quick (a few days). At the time she had 4 girls 4 and under so a long recovery really wasn't an option. For her the procedure was a great relief.

    And yes, as was mentioned you are not supposed to get pregnant after the procedure. Guess what! She was one of those .7% that did. More amazing she was able to carry the baby to 33 weeks which is even more rare. In fact, I couldn't even find documented statistics on successfully deliveries after an ablation. That made for a scary pregnancy. Her doctors assumed it was because the procedure hadn't been completed properly - however the doctors that delivered the baby said they were stunned that she was able to get pregnant much less deliver. And now she has a perfectly healthy adorable baby boy!

    Her oldest girl (now 6) told me this weekend - why all this was possible - "I prayed for a baby brother behind Mommy's back" I think my niece is listening in on those bedtime prayers now.

    Well leave it to me to be the odd woman out.
    I think they were having a look around to make sure I didn't have an ovarian cyst .
